#Edchat is a hashtag, a movement—it is a weekly organized Twitter discussion of educators and people interested in education that meet virtually from all over the world. #Edchat serves as a conversation thread on Twitter and is also used for organized weekly discussions.

None? came from college, I didn't pay much attention. What did change me was realizing that what I was doing didn't work. That led me on a quest. #edchat
#howilearn A6: Ts can't answer this. All we can do is ASK THE STUDENTS. #studentvoice is not about listening to their answers for our questions. It's about letting them ask THEIR QUESTIONS and allowing them to answer. #edchat#tlap
A1: I am currently a junior in college, and all of my skills and philosophy has come from that so far, but I am able to directly practice that in the field. #edchat
Good evening! Tonight's #Edchat topic: How much of your teaching skills and education philosophy is a result of college, and how much came from the job?
SO TRUE! We can have a Makerspace right beside our books in the library. They work together! Reading & Science/Engineering ( & Math & Social Studies & Computer Science) are ALL important! There's room for all!
#edchat#KidsDeserveIt
If anyone tries to tell you that you need to choose between books and a MakerSpace do NOT believe them. Reading breathes new life into “making,” and science/engineering must never be advanced at the expense of reading. We must create the space for both.
Experience is everything! No amount of classes can prepare you for taking on your own class for an entire school year! Building real relationships, reflecting, changing, and continuously trying to improve! #edchat
A1 I am currently a college student so I can't speak to how I will work in the classroom, but I think that what we learn in school should be used to help us make decisions based on individual students #edchat#barbersclass
After 15+ years, I can say that teaching skills definitely came from time on the job. Teaching philosophy evolved through the job, but it was through various additional qualification courses that it was crafted and defined. #edchat
I have learned a great deal in university, however a lot of my knowledge and practice has come from on the job practice and interaction woth students and teachers. #edchat
#howilearn A2: Ts need 3 qualities. 1) How to help Ss feel safe learning. 2) T has to know their stuff (content) and 3) T has to know how to help Ss encode content/skills to their brains. @TheCTTL#edchat#tlap#ohedchat#oredchat
If learners do not have to engage in a productive struggle, they may be able to memorize key ideas, but they will retain their original belief systems or preconceived notions. https://t.co/AJBd50St7S@cerkens#atAssess#edchat
Hello everyone! My name is Kelsey Schuster and I am a Kent State student majoring in Middle Childhood Education, minoring in Mild/Moderate Special Education! This is my very first tweetchat! Super excited! #edchat#barbersclass@barbersclass
I am currently a Master’s Degree student and a full time substitute. I think my experiences have shaped my philosophy more than any classes did. #edchat#barbersclass
I remember reading Wong and Wong and the importance of smiling and greeting Ss from day one. My first year, some teachers saying don’t. I smiled, and they burnt out. This is one lesson worth learning. Almost 15 years in the classroom and I smile every day. #edchat
A1: I am currently a sophomore in college at Kent State University, and my skills and philosophy are from what I have learned this far in my education! #edchat

#howilearn A7: Get off the script. Let S-leaders tell us what roles they will play instead of us telling them what the S-body President is supposed to do. Also: Invite Ss to take part in faculty PD. #edchat
I'm going to be completely honest, I thought my undergraduate degree was a waste of my time. Not because it was bad, but because I was a bad student. #edchat
I think that experience is extremely important, and I am grateful that Kent incorporates 5 semesters of it into the Early Childhood program #edchat#barbersclass
My BA work was not Ed related ... I was a Social Science major ... MA/MS all Ed ... my Ed philosophy was more a result of what i didn't get in my K-12 experience #edchat
#A6 We can listen, encourage, and create a welcoming environment. We can practice active listening, provide wait time, and observe our Ss in an attempt to figure out if their defenses are being raised. #edchat
Though I have not yet begun my career, I am hoping to apply the knowledge I learn in college now throughout my future profession! #edchat#barbersclass@barbersclass
I think we need apprenticeships. Have students co-teach for a year or more and pay them! Get them into the classroom without the burden of trying to graduate. #edchat
My teaching skills and philosophy? College/student teaching prepared me to start teaching... inservice, workshops, professional organizations, mentors and graduate school helped refine my skills and develop philosophy... How about you? #edchat@sgthomas1973@tomwhitby
Most of my teaching skills come from classroom experience. Most of my education philosophy comes from my own k-12 experience & teaching experience. #edchat#ALPLEARN
That's why organizations like @MediaLiteracyEd are so important. We need to have media literacy taught as a key component of a 21st Century education. #edchat#medialiteracy
It all comes back to education: “At the heart of the Russian fraud is an essential, embarrassing insight into American life: large numbers of Americans are ill-equipped to assess the credibility of the things they read.” https://t.co/kKjUCaFnnE
As a college student, I would love to gain more observation opportunities in order to gain invaluable experience that cannot be taught in a college classroom. #edchat#barbersclass@barbersclass
A1? My philosophy? Was determined by job as BA was a lifetime ago. However, it was confirmed by college as I just finished an Ed Tech certificate that gave me necessary pedagogy / child framework #edchat
"I started out small," says T @MrsRileyGandT, but eventually set a range of strategies to give Ss agency in what and how they learn. Read how it led her Ss to dive deeper academically: https://t.co/cJoW1Lzt9w#edchat
I'm going to be completely honest, I thought my undergraduate degree was a waste of my time. Not because it was bad, but because I was a bad student. #edchat
making is less about tools and more about mindset ... if you think you have to have a "makerlab" or "makerspace" to Make, you don't understand making. #edchat#kidsdeserveit
I’m going into my classroom armed tomorrow. Armed with love and support 4 Ss. Firing my quest for inclusiveness and opportunity for ALL learners. #edchat#lovenotguns#theyarethefuture
I am a college student and a substitute teacher. Most of my philosophy about education and teaching is based on experience rather than what I am currently learning in the classroom. #edchat
I'd say this is a pretty even mix for me right now! I went into college with things that made me passionate about education that were important to my philosophy, but experience is helping me to shape my ideas further :) #edchat#edci338
80% job, 20% college. I went to a progressive teacher college that valued workshops and PBL, which helped, but had no idea how to implement w/35 unique students in a class. #edchat
I have also had both positive and negative placements, and I think that you can learn just as much from the bad as you can from the good #edchat#barbersclass

A1: Collaboration is important in all aspects of life! It is important to communicate and work well with others in order to succeed as a professional in your field. #edchat#babersclass#barbersclass
Personally I would love to get more field experience and sooner rather than later while I am working on my undergraduate #edchat#barbersclass@barbersclass
I am currently a college student but I am working as a substitute teacher as well. There are some important concepts learned in college but I would say the philosophical concepts I have about teaching are based on real life experience on the job. #edchat
I shadow a teacher back home and the real life experience she is allowing me to get is amazing and is shaping how I want to be as a teacher! #edchat#barbersclass@barbersclass

I did not have ant student teacher experience ... my first day was my first day ... never did a lesson plan ... no knowledge of standard ... had a great team who helped me learn on the job. #edchat
Though I have had little experience with professional collaboration, I think that it would shape my skills and philosophies in a beneficial way as I could learn and implement methods or strategies from someone who has experience with them. #edchat#barbersclass@barbersclass
I agree! I think my field experience is helping my build my philosophy more than my classes because I am actually able to experience what it is like being in a school. #edchat#barbersclass@barbersclass

I love the thought of increasing teaching experience for undergrads. On the other hand, I pose the question of other required course work at the same time. Which takes priority? Does it mean a longer undergrad experience? #edchat#ALPLEARN
This is why student teaching opportunities to observe other teachers' routines in their classrooms is so valuable- a huge opportunity for personal discovery!! #edchat#edci338

A2: collaborative professional learning has played a great role on shaping my skills and my philosophy! Being able to observe in the classroom has showed me what I want and don’t want in my future classroom! #barbersclass#edchat@barbersclass
I think that a combination of the two makes me feel extremely prepared, since I can put what I am learning into practice right away and gain that experience #edchat#barbersclass

I had a poor teacher during my early childhood student teaching. It caused me to change my major from education. Now I'm back but focusing on SPED #EdChat
The college classes that helped the most were the ones that encouraged real experiences in real classrooms. I also had two awesome mentors when I student taught in 4th and 5th grade! :) #edchat
@CollierSharde I've been in the classroom for 25+ years and am still in the trial and error stage. Take risks, make mistakes, grow - model this for your students! #edchat
I don't believe so, I think it's part of their undergrad or grad experience. They've changed up their student teaching practice to have teacher - residents practice more intensely at fewer schools However, there are programs: https://t.co/lXdfUhoA0d#edchat
I agree that pre-service Ts need more time in actual classrooms. I think they also need more time to debrief w/ supervising Ts to help unpack observations. #Edchat
every school has a unique set of expectations ... college can't provide everything, but it will give you a good framework to build on. #edchat When you land at a great school they will help ... if they don't ... find a new school.
at Kent we have a very intense program with both fieldwork and coursework, and while it is challenging with time, it is very rewarding so far and still within the four year experience #edchat#barbersclass
Great to see all the newbies to teaching and Twitter on #edchat. Here's some strategies to maximize the power of your Twitter PLN.
https://t.co/VSdmraA7Mi
A2) Within every school there is a sleeping giant of teacher leadership that can be a catalyst for school improvement Principals need to embrace power of teacher leadership & create a guiding coalition in their schools #2pencilchat#edchat
A 2: Collaborative professional learning has played an important role in shaping my skills because this idea opens up so many opportunities to collaborate in my classroom one day. #edchat#barbersclass
I would also suggest that will in undergrad school you take classes from the crazy, opinionated teachers that push your thinking. Especially the ones you disagree with. #edchat
Professional collaborating is important in any field because we can always benefit from others' insights- teaching is no different! #edchat#barbersclass@barbersclass
From my Diigo: Mike Roberts on Twitter: "If there was an Olympics for teachers, what would the events be?
I’ll get things started...

2. Synchronized laminating

#edchat: https://t.co/RJfjfjLRQo#edtech#techintegration
A2: Collaborative learning has also been a huge deal to me throughout my observations. I am constantine seeing things done right and things done poorly and I am learning from them. #edchat#barbersclass@barbersclass
In reply to
@ZoeHodgkinson12, @blairteach, @barbersclass, @barbersclass
A2 cont: getting feedback from critical colleagues helps give you a new perspective, and they can push you to step outside your comfort zone and grow as a teacher #edchat#barbersclass
A3 I think that we should make some new mandates that place student teachers in the classrooms of highly rated veteran teachers. A truly good teacher will be able to help the student teacher improve and educate effectively! #edchat#barbersclass@barbersclass
I have an eight year old, and she has definitely shaped my beliefs, as well. I think that I look at some things to do with my philosophy and teaching style differently now because I see how she learns.
#edchat#barbersclass@barbersclass
Definitely agree- other perspectives, opinions, and ideas only stand to enrich our thinking and make our practice stronger #edchat#edci338#collaboration
it was ... 16 years later I still have to look up Ed acronyms ... never read a behavior management book ... I should really suck at being a teacher, but I don't. Passion for your content goes a long way. #edchat#barbersclass
A3: I feel like becoming a parent would have quite an influence on an educator's skills, since they would now see the parent perspective better and be able to work with that better in the classroom #edchat#barbersclass
1) Don't beat yourself up when something goes wrong.
2) Never forget the potential power of every contact with every person, especially children.
3) Find a mentor.
#edchat
Reflective opportunities and collaborative discussions with peers have helped shape, form, and transform my teaching philosophy. Without those opportunities my philosophy may have changed, but I doubt whether my ability to notice and name those changes would follow. #edchat
I think that student teachers should be paired up with strong and experienced teachers so they get the most out of their experience! #barbersclass#edchat
Just discussed this in our community. Do you think most student teachers are equipped to lead modern learners? And if not, why do schools who strive to change/innovate continue to accept placements from higher ed programs inadequately preparing student teachers? #edchat
The quickest way to change another person’s behavior is to change your behavior toward them. When we show great respect and care, we have the best chance to see things improve. #edchat
I agree with you Taylor! My brother is a 7th grade Science teacher and I love to observe him and learn all the tricks in order to set all my students up for success! #edchat#barbersclass@barbersclass
Luckily before coming to college, I had a positive experience as an intern in an elementary school, but that would be a struggle to be placed with a poor teacher once I reach student teaching. #edchat#barbersclass
I'm with you all here! I had great mentors during my student teaching experiences. They really helped me to grow and show me ways to make my teaching stronger :) #edchat#edci338

It will. As you grow, don't throw out every previous philosophy. Some parts will be valid, some will need adapting, and some will need tossing. #edchat#barbersclass
A2: During my observations I have witnessed professional collaboration. It has definitely shaped my philosophy so I know what to do and what not to do #EdChat
1. Read widely - never stop learning
2. Treat your classroom like a laboratory - experiment and take risks
3. Open your classroom door - learn from your colleagues and let them learn from you

When I came out of college, I thought I was prepared. My 1st yr, I thought I was COMPLETELY UNPREPARED. I hope new Ts have a better exp. coming out of college. #Edchat
1. Create a safe place for learning to happen.
2. Care.
3. Challenge yourself and your students.
4. Give authentic and timely feedback.
5. Support your colleagues. #edchat
There may, there may not. Just watch the research as well as what your district/school mandate you do. At least you're watching your philosophy. #edchat#barbersclass
A2: During my observations I have witnessed professional collaboration. It has definitely shaped my philosophy so I know what to do and what not to do #Edchat
I think that during observations you are able to just sit back and watch for the different types of practices. I find observations extremely beneficial! #edchat#barbersclass@barbersclass

@bharve10_harvey, @Miss_Hernan, @blairteach, @barbersclass
I think that I learn a bit about myself and my outlook each day to a different degree. Not sure you're really every done learning as a teacher. #EdChat
Being a college student still I have seen collaborative professional learning in action when observing and will hopefully use it in my classroom one day! #edchat#barberscalss
Watch who you spend time with in your building. Keep away from those that suck energy. Or at least balance that with those who energize. Does that make sense? #edchat
Great advice! They are all interconnected as well. Wide reading leads to new ideas and discoveries that lead to informed classroom experimentation that evolves and grows when shared with others. #edchat
1. Read widely - never stop learning
2. Treat your classroom like a laboratory - experiment and take risks
3. Open your classroom door - learn from your colleagues and let them learn from you

I have the opposite view. I am more of a hands-on person, so observations where I was just sitting were very boring to me. I couldn't wait to jump in and get to teaching.

^This is so important! As a new teacher I feel like I'm constantly being bombarded with new learning designs and new ways of doing things- I'm trying to add a few new things at a time that make a difference! We can't do it all at once! #edchat#edci338
Observations are very important to learn from; getting to sit and watch all of the small things that you normally wouldn't notice if in the moment are valuable to learn from #edchat#barbersclass
I think there needs to be a balance of observations and interactions with debriefing after both. I think a lot of learning comes from reflection. #Edchat

This makes total sense! You want to have a positive outlook each day, and being around someone that sucks your energy will pull you down and have you being less happy and positive. #edchat#barbersclass
The classroom is changing so if college students are only reading about the 21st century classroom & not experiencin it, they will start their tenure in a deficit. #edchat
Pick one. Or two. Go from there. Follow what your building leaders (Principal, etc.) want. Do not change everything quickly or you probably won't know what works best. #edchat#edci338
Reflecting on my college experience, the only thing I gained from my time was a foundation of educational research and supporting strategies. At some point, I had to develop my soft skills to support students far beyond the content. It's a choice and it's important. #edchat
A2 Our AP's started a program 2support new teachers 2our school-meet regularly, collaborative agenda, veterans join 2share. Powerful way to connect new teachers. #edchat
My supervising mentor (not teacher mentor) meant the most to me. She instructed me on the essentials for success as a teacher. She offered lasting advice and was a retired Asst. Superintendent. Strong mentors are essential and every new T needs at least one. #edchat

RT @MrAshReads: Think Alouds are ESSENTIAL for teaching comprehension. It’s the only way to let students “see” our thoughts as we read. This leads them down a path to further metacognition. #edchat#Harlem122https://t.co/XeTKgautaM
I agree! I am currently learning so much from my field placement. I am able to watch my mentor teacher and she how she handles situations in ways I never thought of. #edchat#barbersclass@barbersclass

‘On the job’ learning and training has had the greatest impact on my teaching and ed philosophy...students first, always, through listening, compassion and love. That’s not really ‘taught’ via college work. #edchat
I agree with both Brittany and Caroline. Hands-on gives you a direct opportunity, but starting with an observation is less intimidating at first. #edchat#barbersclass

Agreed! & when teachers talk with students about learning the learning of both improves :) I like 2say- ask the kids, after all, it is THEIR school #edchat
I think we always need to reflect. Our philosophy should evolve with more experience. College helped tremendously, but mentors and the kids themselves taught me who I needed to be. #edchat
Hi Jessica! I agree, if I don’t reflect the next day then I sometimes forget! It’s always good to review what you have done/learned! #barbersclass@barbersclass#edchat
I agree with you. I think that taking our observations and applying them to our student teaching when that day comes will be exiting and taking what we have learned. #edchat#barbersclass@barbersclass

As great as experience is, we must be careful to use evidence based practices. Just because something seems to be helping students learn, doesn't mean it really is. #edchat#barbersclass@barbersclass
Collaborative professional learning has been really important for my philosophy and inspiration for what I want to do and be in the classroom! Through sharing and collaboration there is growth :) #edchat#edci338
I definitely have lessons that I have planned and printed to follow in the classroom. After implementing, they got a big "X" on them and a note from me saying "don't try this way again". Reflecting is very important.

Recognizing the evolving nature of one's philosophy suggests that you're not just a good teacher, but a good student (which might be more important)! #edchat
Regardless of growth increases as professionals, don't forget the reasons you entered the teaching profession in the first place. As long as students are first, you'll do well. #EdChat
I don't think anyone is saying "life" doesn't count. I think *most* people will say that their philosophy was shaped by college or work. What are your thoughts? #Edchat
Perhaps (yes, i understand where you're going). We need to be able to survive /thrive / teach in many different conditions. It will be awhile before every district implements the new model fully. However, one must be fluent w/ tech and other skills #edchat
I also agree with you Taylor! Strong and experienced teachers will give student teachers a great example of how a successful classroom should look! #edchat#barbersclass
I agree 100% that as we experience more and more, our philosophy will evolve as well! I cannot wait to become an educator! #edchat#barbersclass@barbersclass
Looking at the positive... the coolest part of being a teacher is knowing soon you can do all those 21st century skills in your own space. Take what is of value to you and filter out the rest. Student teaching is a moment. Your classroom is a lifetime and it’s yours. #edchat
Great point! At that point, let’s hope lifelong learning can take hold so that learning is reciprocal between classroom teacher and student teacher #edchat
