Hi there! Great to have a "valley" girl in the chat! Where's
-
-
Aww ... Too sweet! Can't wait!
-
-
A1: When not focused on a predetermined lesson, free to be creative, making learning fun, and inspiring
-
-
-
A1: Revolution I saw? Ss chose driving question in science class. Ss graded on being a scientist, not content acquisition.
-
welcome Angella! is a great place to do that!
-
Hi Kate! Let's see how long my kiddo will last watching cartoons while I chat. Pushing bedtime back a bit.
-
"let's ditch!" totally has new meaning!
-
I'm a South Valley girl, not sure where is. Watch out if you get us ALL together!
-
Does that include accent (:
-
Welcome to our very creative and energetic chat!
-
A1. Loved watching take on like a CHAMP in no time. Such a super star and amazing projects w her kids!
-
-
Welcome! Pretty incredible group here. Also: bring your GIF skills ;)
-
We all have to sacrifice to share and grow together
-
A1:When I implemented PBL with my 6th grade math class learning, ownership, engagement, and communications skills came to life.
-
-
I have a feeling I will LOVE it...almost as much as shrimp cocktails!!!
-
Ha! I because I have an AWESOME master helping me out! ROLAND is the Python ninja!
-
-
A1: differentiated instruction with Ss teaching mixed-grade and mixed-ability groups
-
Hi, Angella! Come 8pm, you’ll be pro. Welcome to the chat.
-
Jon knows ... He got a copy before there were copies! :)
-
-
Welcome! You started in a great spot chat!
-
Teachers can be like Mozart or Dizzy Gillespie and improvise. Best teaching is improv from plan https://t.co/seSKBwvpWz
-
-
A1: When not focused on a predetermined lesson, free to be creative, making learning fun, and inspiring
-
-
A1: Anything that empowers Ss: teaching them to have real convos, to be leaders & mentors, providing choice
-
-
-
A1a:And she's nailing it!! Those successes happen when the Ss are first and foremost in our planning
-
-
Lisa, 5th grade, CA - jumping in a little late
-
-
I have heard good things about ... Can't wait!
-
-
Me too!!! Her passion has me so pumped!!

-
Kelly from Tahoe Ed tech & Curriculum coordinator. Lurking & learning tonight-not feeling great so not sure how long I'll last
-
has been a revolution for sure!
-
A1: When & decide to take for 7th/8th graders seriously.
-
A1: In the current climate, simply turning one's back to textooks & testing and being "real" is revolutionary.
-
-
Given some guided freedom (I know it sounds funny) we accelerate to do great things
-
Same here!! I follow the blog, but book is still in my very large ToRead pile 😐 Will catch up SOON!
-
Just purchased & tomorrow's delivery can't come soon enough!
-
A1: Revolution is doing what is best for Ss not Ts. Ts allowing for pers. discomfort to support lrning https://t.co/eliHskSkpG
-
Whhattttt Roland, you Python knowing fool, do tell
-
A1: I think testing has been revolutionized in some part. Glad to see bubble tests gone!
-
A1: culinary arts has revolutionized my classroom
-
thanks Lisa! Hoping its just exhaustion and Disney hangover.
-
A1: My revolution came at a low point. We get brave to try new things when it can't get any worse.
-
Taught PLTW for 4 years. Loved seeing students build, test, try, fail, try again. Also, STEM girls rock.
-
A1- I love 's motto of bringing History Alive! Give students experiences to learn from & remember.
-
A1: asking for an AppleTV and iPad so she can turn her 1st grade class into a 21st century playground!
-
Woah, woah, and woah. I’ve only dabbled with Python.
-
A1: last year I taught physics with an 8 wk roller coaster building unit, Ss ❤️'d it & learned more than I could ever teach
-
Oh man!!!! I MUST hear about this!!!!
-
centers seem to be one of those scary things that either Ts get or don't, I fall in the latter, though I would like 2
-
-
what?! This sounds amazing!!!!
-
So true, but I couldn't find a farmer with same flare
-
Welcome any time you can make it!
-
Awesome! Those are the moments that change us forever!!
-
I would LOVE to see what that looks like!
-
Ohhhhh Ann! Climb aboard the train! It's an awesome ride 👍
-
JUST had this convo today w/a site coach! So very true!!
-
-
-
Sounds fantastic!! https://t.co/xYCmjuBIxb
-
-
A1: last year I taught physics with an 8 wk roller coaster building unit, Ss ❤️'d it & learned more than I could ever teach
-
-
-
As a live or die, only way to show knowledge, it's how Ed is defined sort of way...I agree
-
A2: Yes, always our job to model what we expect to see in others. BE the EDUchange you want to see in the world.
-
But has the paradigm shifted or just found a new medium?
-
. belly laugh of recognition with a little tear behind it! https://t.co/3qumJZAkPR
-
-
A1: In the current climate, simply turning one's back to textooks & testing and being "real" is revolutionary.
-
A1: All the sites and tools that correct, adapt, and differentiate. T's freed for creativity and relationships.
-
sounds rad! what do you do to gamify?
-
I have many 5-8 Ts rolling we stations! We should chat this up tomorrow in math/tech Voxer for sure!
-
A2- Absolutely! I tried to not be blunt, but basically told a T I'm over Ss reading the PPTs to class. Time to try new things!
-
I was lucky to be trained in a Kinder room to teach that way... Now I blend math rotation... I'm a HUGE fan!
-
A2: We lead by walking the walk and talking the talk - by embodying what it means to be a passionate, connected teacher.
-
Wait. What? How’d you go about doing that? Do tell more!
-
-
A2: While I initially agreed, I am thinking it's not quite this, more it's about....
-
A2: Lead by example, be inspiring, stay current, have rationale for your decisions and always keep kids as your bottom line.
-
A1: DBQ's n historical docs versus cracking open those redick textbooks that no one reads but my district spends Tons of $
-
started at the bottom, now we're here!!!
-
A2: INSPIRING change is essential as a — super hard to make sure you’re not pushing ur own agenda though...
-
Absolutely! I'm blessed to get to see some of the best & brightest. Must share what I learn.
-
A2: Lead by example. Invite others into your classroom. Share successes and failures. Be authentic.
-
I would love to pick your brain then, I firmly believe their value...just don't know enough
-
Kinders need a fence to play freely: Purposeful structure + play + inquiry = deep learning https://t.co/3m7ECqB93o
-
-
Given some guided freedom (I know it sounds funny) we accelerate to do great things
-
Disney hangover. That’s a real thing.
-
Me too! feeling excited for new convos on new topic for me
-
-
-
This is why you're https://t.co/F5MwusaaXB
-
-
A2: Lead by example, be inspiring, stay current, have rationale for your decisions and always keep kids as your bottom line.
-
A2: we definitely need to be part of the process but our involvement may depend on the culture
-
I agree, Leading by example is most effective and contagious https://t.co/g5WbTjCGIp
-
-
A2: We lead by walking the walk and talking the talk - by embodying what it means to be a passionate, connected teacher.
-
The classroom revolutions I’ve seen are often treated as outliers or anomalies…instead of bright spots to scale and aspire, too
-
Ugh... Totally have to reel myself in sometimes :-/
-
I may have on my shelf or kindle...need to read! https://t.co/hDuoirMNFV
-
-
Just purchased & tomorrow's delivery can't come soon enough!
-
That's exactly what I'm thinking (: but you said it better
-
I had this thought too. We should INSPIRE through our actions. Show what is possible
-
-
A2: If not us, then who? Absolutely! It looks like relationships, gentle nudges, one change at a time.
-
A2 It is our responsibility to show the Ts the new ideas that we discovered in order to help promote more engaged Students
-
Yes! & it’s hard to make sure u r aware of all cultures in schools throughout a district or county
-
...it's about presenting opportunities and bringing to light reasons for those shifts
-
-
A2: I think our kids might be our best word of mouth in that regard. They talk about us, good or bad.
-
A2 Build the relationships first and be a part of the process. Model reflecting, learning and growing.
-
Could the outliers/anomalies become commonplace?
-
And then there's that approach! It has to be said sometimes and w/our relationships we can say it.
-
Change starts with us. Such a powerful message to spread.
-
They can b intimidating or misinterpreted, too. So imp 4 us to shine light on bright spots for the Ts who can’t
-
A2: Model, risk, fail w/ a smile, risk agn, learn & help Ss learn. Collab creatively; go outside da box https://t.co/elScGCrrTr
-
A2: I try to "train" Ss in the new thing first so when other Ts use it the Ss already know how, makes Ts more willing to try
-
A2: Best way to change a teacher's hardened heart: show what works in your class.
Blog post: https://t.co/FJcjyMZr9T
-
Yes. Then I gave her a hug and showed her some cool tools! Working w/ Ts to change it up!
-
-
and yeah, that was a sneak tweet
-
OMG yes! and I were bonding over that today. How to suggest w/out being too pushy
-
Almost prescription style here, you're on fire tonight (:
-
A2 I have found sometimes the best way to show Ts is to have them witness the lesson with Ss. Get them to see it in action.
-
And tell our own story so others can see how it’s done.
-
Through co-teaching or modeling situations?
-
A2: Our influence has to be for the greater good. Push for improvement without being pushy.
-
Makes sense. If you send a class on with a certain mindset and skills, it makes it easier for the next Teacher
-
A2: T leaders should model, share, nudge maybe... Many want change but aren't sure how...Inspire them!
-
A2: yes! practice what you preach, I want my actions & enthusiasm to ignite a spark in others! https://t.co/fDYLIJzPDY
-
-
Sometimes I’m pretty sure I’m always pushing my agenda. But I’m constantly reflecting on my own ideas/beliefs.
-
A2- I don't have my own classroom, so I have to model, model, model in my PD
-
I love this so much! I’m seeing all 3 of those happen in my own world w the Ts I know. U r my inspiration
-
Leadership should always effect/affect at 3 levels: down, across, up…and those leading change must begin w/their own mindset.
-
-
Exactly, that's how we roll now
-
There's something about being a witness and experiencing as a learner yourself, isn't there, Angie? https://t.co/ZFZDG7xGDa
-
-
A2 I have found sometimes the best way to show Ts is to have them witness the lesson with Ss. Get them to see it in action.
-
-
That is the goal for sure! I think we can pull in more and more https://t.co/0vVu79CWO5
-
-
Could the outliers/anomalies become commonplace?
-
-
-
. my metaphor is pushing the string: keep putting it out there until someone pulls on it https://t.co/D0lfc9SfQm
-
-
A2: If not us, then who? Absolutely! It looks like relationships, gentle nudges, one change at a time.
-
Yes, but we see them and we know of them…yet we still resist. Scaling is the heavy lifting of leadership.
-
Boy oh boy… if the leadership has their head screwed on right!
-
-
Sounds like PD is your classroom ... just different students and content!
-
I'm in the classroom so I do it, then suggest to other Ts during lunch/hallway conversations
-
Yes. We need a lot of empathy and emotional intelligence in this process.
-
I’ve seen the same thing. As a coach, when see these “anomalies,” I put them in the spotlight.
-
-
A3: As I coach, I may make suggestions, but I focus on areas T wants to grow, it's not about my thinking, but theirs
-
-
Ann, you are definitely a spark igniter!!
-
A2 When you can't get to them email them the ideas and let them know that you will be more than willing to help them.
-
I'm MS so I can teach skill 1 day and Ss can use next day in another class 😄
-
Ahh you get to "cheat" a little...I am wondering if that is more productive then my approach... Thoughts?
-
-
A2: responsibility to make a connection with Ss, faciliate desire 2 learn, help them understand they r change thru ed
-
Let’s be honest: Station rotation blended learning is really just a fancy way to say Kindergarten.
-
A3: Are you building on their knowledge, skill-set, identified goals and areas of growth or building on YOURS?
-
Centers are the only way I’ve ever been to personalize and differentiate instruction.
-
I disagree, in K, you may also get nap time...
-
-
-
A3: Supporting them = helping them improve on their strengths.
Pusing your change = making them adopt your strengths.
-
A3- I try not to cross the line. I use leading ?s like, "What would it look like if you did this?"
-
Interesting, speak more to this please
-
so true! Having principals show vid to board mtgs of outliers. P's may begin to embrace
-
I’ve been seeing some great blending/stations with one of my HS math teachers.
-
Actually I'd say & I are having easier time blending math in upper grades than K-1
-
Would love to join that convo!
-
What does that look like for HS Ts?
-
A3: I embrace that everyone has their "thing" and some aren't ready to pursue/embrace it yet. I support all passion.
-
So you have strategies for working EQ into PD for Ts and Admins?
-
Leaders create the environment…
Scaling Creativity And Innovation (full ebook-pdf) https://t.co/AN8HXHRGlA Begin w/permission…
-
Yes! Sometimes it has to be given multiple times. Up to Ts when to decide to pick it up & run w/it!
-
A3:Meeting them at their level of comformt & helping them to reach their goals, ultimately they are the pilot of their journey
-
Really? What might be some of the areas of stuckedness with K1?
-
"I support all passion."
I think John just nailed it.
https://t.co/NX9G6BIaj2
-
-
A3: I embrace that everyone has their "thing" and some aren't ready to pursue/embrace it yet. I support all passion.
-
Ha! You been in a K classroom lately?
-
I have some great video of 8th graders playing kinder while tackling laws of exponents!
-
This is so key, Steph! If we're not helping them reach their goals, what are we really doing??
-
-
A3 Realizing change takes time, and comfort levels vary. Help ease them into the ideas. Show them small steps.
-
Why so, Aprill? You’ve got my attention.
-
Not sure YET :) They already do ELA centers so figured easy transition
-
A3: they have to want the change or it won't stick
-
I'd love to hear more about this!!! Can u share? Using real world is the best way to engage Ss
-
A3: It’s about . How does the room react 2 ur suggestions? What is energy in the room? What else is going on 4the Ts?
-
A3: Everyone is at a different place in their journey. Baby steps
-
The more we can get our great outliers seen by others, the quicker the change.
-
Empathy is vital…
Not only in understanding the experience of others, but determining the true value in the process.
-
A3: making the shift student centered. This is not personal ownership of ideas and change, but a shift in culture & beliefs
-
Just taught in one before break...no naps anymore... Yeah I read an article about your K hashtag
-
While some students working independently, I’m able to give personalize instruction to smaller groups.
-
walk into the staff lounge raving about them:)
-
-
A3 Support them by showing how it will make life better not just add to what they already have to do.
-
A3: accept when Ts aren't ready but always be willing to lend a hand & encourage transformative change https://t.co/u5NbBkCFvl
-
yep! We're are simply the co-pilot on their journey to realization and growth
-
I believe it gets woven throughout the process…it should be part of the design.
-
A3: Really listening & being willing to learn something new to help Tt reach their goal, willing to share ownership of learning
-
A3: Ask Qs - wait to give advice. Trust the Ts journey. Know when to coach & when to consult. Support. https://t.co/hGfw9wYhoh
-
Ohhhh, we had such a hard time w/our 8th this year and learning these
-
Blog about that! Feature them on the district PD website! Don’t have one? Make one!
-
I rather give dir inst. 3 times differently to small groups than 1 time to whole class.
-
A3: Listen to others. Jump off their ideas. Less likely to feel like pushing an agenda
-
-
respect Ts where they are and celebrate progress not perfections https://t.co/2m5OpVRWWG
-
-
A3: Everyone is at a different place in their journey. Baby steps
-
Yes, so it starts informally with asking a lot of Q's and being observant.
-
Follow-up to Q3 ...
How can you tell if the change you'd like to see is really valuable for the Ts you're coaching?
-
If we expect our students to be adaptive and flexible to change; we must model that in the classroom, the school, and community
-
Yes! And having the relationships to make adjustments along the way... https://t.co/1sxTE4bwYq
-
-
A3: It’s about . How does the room react 2 ur suggestions? What is energy in the room? What else is going on 4the Ts?
-
I am seriously multitasking watching and keeping up with this twitter discussion! Seriously slacking on posting
-
Interesting, I see that, my mentor finds them easy to set up w/natural differentiation
-
Hard to contain in 140 characters. Let’s pick this up in Voxer.
-
I’d say it’s similar to the fine line between laughing & crying.
-
K is soooo much fun, if you get a chance, highly recommend
-
-
A3:Great Q! I might be pushing my own agenda this wk... But doing so to start others realizing it's okay to think out of box
-
did 5th grade lesson today, 2nd half tomorrow...it's like that on extreme sugar high
-
-
Observe Ss. reflect with them and support their reflection. Accept their reality may not be yours https://t.co/7iuEX6ktzo
-
-
Follow-up to Q3 ...
How can you tell if the change you'd like to see is really valuable for the Ts you're coaching?
-
I’ve been EI training for parents for years…which has begun to happen with educators, too. It is necessary, needed
-
A4: Use each other. The best free PD is to use each other as resources within your school
-
A3:shine a spotlight on trailblazers.Others will follow!They will help lead by example, not because you asked but due to desire
-
A4: use the tools w Ts in PD that we want the Ts to use w Ss in class & encourage Ts to create more https://t.co/KmFz5T2oQi
-
-
judgement-free coaching! Yes!
-
A3: Coming in w/ plan of your own, asking them what they want to do vs. asking Q's, finding needs, fitting your agendas 2gether
-
Yes, we do! https://t.co/MJz0ULlOpt
-
-
If we expect our students to be adaptive and flexible to change; we must model that in the classroom, the school, and community
-
. or doing both at the same time? https://t.co/2DrD0j1X9F
-
-
I’d say it’s similar to the fine line between laughing & crying.
-
A4: Allow Ss to demonstrate their learning in different ways by allowing choice. Allow them to export and create
-
A4: I am evolving, just gave 1st PD via all , Ts seemed receptive, as say, I was all ryan seacrest
-
exactly, I taught screencasting, ELA screencast projects the next wk, Ss ❤️ especially shy ones
-
A4: Keep this question at the heart of PD ...
"How can Ts use this to improve the learning experience for Ss?"
-
A4: Build opportunities for authentic experiences, tech integration, and excitement around learning to supplement the text
-
Q4- I model hyperdocs w/ links to blog. Use to get feedback & engage Ts, use to share
-
-
-
W/intention, relevance, purpose, centers are amazing
-
excellent point that so many ts forget.
-
If you want to help others through change…
Begin to ask great questions, instead of providing more answers.
-
when Ts see the tool empowers student ownership, amplifies voice, everything changes
-
-
A4:Plan instruction for Ss&Ts around their requests & interests
-
-
Yeah, read one on NPR. Wife teaches K. The struggle is real.
-
If all TLs would only find ways to make their agendas fit together with Ts' agendas! Great point!
-
A4:build opportunity for Ss voice and choice. Grounded in standards but raised up by student's passions.Make it meaningful 4 Ss
-
Yeah, like this morning, when Ts find success on their own=excitement
-
-
-
I see what you’re saying. Totally agree.
-
I think intentionality is essential too. Maybe being pushy IS the point!
-
So true, that's where I think I read article too
-
Remember, every organization has pioneers and settlers. And each one of us is both, depending on the change.
-
More like walk into STAFF MEETINGS a rave about them.
-
A4: There are many opportunities to blend engaging experiences or create experiences w/ textbooks. Can totally be a transition
-
Noooo I refuse to accept (; Math is cool (:
-
A4: model using textbook as another tool, like chromebook/tablet/whatever, combine tools to get the best results
-
-
A4 Showing Ts new ideas & how to integrate it really helps if you connect it to the curriculum and show them how Ss are engaged
-
A4: Allow Ss to demonstrate their learning in different ways by allowing choice. Allow them to explore and create
-
-
“Kinder is like herding stray cats.”
~ my wife
-
-
Yes! Tbooks are a resource, a tool. One of many! Hi Kim! :)
-
That's a gift! Would love to hear from you on "scaling up" change!
-
-
A4: I take a lot of cues from the great . Here's her NCTM slides from a couple of months ago. https://t.co/yG10nzF0aN
-
Right. Why wouldn't we use the best tool for the job, regardless of what it is? https://t.co/JBRaaPYWqe
-
-
A4: model using textbook as another tool, like chromebook/tablet/whatever, combine tools to get the best results
-
Remind me under NCLB..in sense we have our must do's, then we had to add our should do's
-
I did this w 1st Gr & my Ss loved the CHOICES! They OWNED what they did when given that chance!
-
-
-
LOL, true, but for 1 hr at a time...it's so much fun...
-
Sometimes, gasp... it's even a pencil!
-
LOVE everything about this post!
-
A great way to begin process…layer everything with a 4C’s lens. How could I tweak this to be more: creative, collaborative, etc
-
Missing the chat tonight tonight for good reason: I *finally* get to see the new Star Wars movie!
-
You could call them centers.
-
At some point, I am now over 60 tweets behind...
-
Heard great things about Classcraft from some HS Ts!
-
So true! High Schoolers love it too!
-
-
-
I just said to a friend, "I watched a video on herding cats last night..."
-
-
K is a RIOT. Love being with that age group.
-
-
1. awesome hair 2. great ed comments on
-
yup! Although today they were used to make ramps in lab, still a tool 😉 Hi Denise!
-
-
Nailed it! Learn about others' passions too, value them, they will value you and you will BOTH grow!
-
-
. horror movie if that's what you do IRL https://t.co/f4xFkZjIMe
-
-
I just said to a friend, "I watched a video on herding cats last night..."
-
We literally made a Xmas tree of old books at one of our sites...actually quite pretty..so textbooks aren't useless
-
-
fortunately it never has been RL for me! haha! I can't imagine!
-
A4: Make learning relatable and relevant, not rote redundant.
-
Remember, pioneers often like to fly under the radar. Which is why empathy is paramount on how you acknowledge their efforts
-
I think I saw that on the Twitters ... pretty impressive! https://t.co/Uiv1iSLfMr
-
-
We literally made a Xmas tree of old books at one of our sites...actually quite pretty..so textbooks aren't useless
-
I've tried that this year. Online modules for PD so Ts can come ask questions when they need help.
-
Could also say “With intention, relevance, purpose, <insert any word here> are important.
-
I've seen a T w/27 highly energetic K do amazing things, it's amazing
-
Great lens.If we expect it from our Ss we must be a model!Growth mindset, don't settle for status quo! https://t.co/QXpnrc2dF6
-
-
A great way to begin process…layer everything with a 4C’s lens. How could I tweak this to be more: creative, collaborative, etc
-
-
Heard of it. Not checked it out.
-
I love when I do a lesson, then I get at least 1 class hug...so open
-

A5: Going on year 4 of completely flipping my jr. high math classroom. Haven't taught a lecture in 4 years.
-
A5: creating my own curriculum for STEM this year means I am living on the limb & getting as much fruit as I can
-
A4: Tweaking the textbook is a great start!
-
We live in a time when change is changing…we’re moving from the technical to adaptive. Much more cognitively demanding…

That visual is awesome! I see you stretching and filling your bucket

Get the low-hanging fruit, which encourages you to climb higher for the tougher-to-reach stuff. I get it!

-
LOL, I feel it's called secondary some times....

A6: I make messy and complicated look awesome by having fun while doing it. Fun is contagious. https://t.co/l785mz6ysm

Wait. Did we just start MADLIBS STAFF MEETINGS?!?!
-
A6: I don't, but the Ss do
-
A6: Messy + complicated = opportunities to create change! Stay resilient. Tackle it all with enthusiasm and a smile!
-
-
A6: Sometimes the mess that change creates just doesn't feel awesome at first.
That's OK. Persistence pays.
-
-
A6- embrace the Fail. Ts love to see that tech fails for me too. It's how I deal w/ it though. Keep rolling, don't give up.
-
I'm wondering if they are the same? I think it shows true learning (:
-
A6: Engagement is the fruit of complicated and messy. Its the perfect payoff for all of the difficulty and its glorious.
-
I have a strong voice and ain’t afraid to use it.
-
A6 Make it personal, fun, relevant, and help them see it is a tool to help them hear the voice of all students in the class
-

Heard great things! My TOSA loves We'll focus more on creation less on tutorials so plan to use

Filing a copyright as we speak.

Oh, oh, I know! Google Forms and FormMule.
“Enter Noun here: “
“Enter Verb here: “

Could be great voxer group (:

A6: Messy and awesome is what I live for. Used to have the traditional class. Not anymore. It's loud and I love it!

Truth be told. Google Forms is my solution for most things.

being vulnerable and laughing at ourselves is empowering to all!

Yeah. Like that...but completely different. 😉
-
Yeah Gforms is amazing, I have mastered so much of it past year...so powerful
-
This is how we roll, Matt.
-

When we get comfortable in the not knowing…and choose to make fear take a back seat. Messy, complicated become much more simple

Having messy and complicated in my classroom used to scare me. Not anymore. Helping kids through the mess of life is the goal.

One of the ideas is to write a "Choose Your Adventure" ebook using Google Slides. I can't wait to try that one.
-
Nice! And how do other Ts and Admins respond?
-
-
Here’s the truth, no one catches up. You take what you can get. Give what you can give. Then come back next week.
-
Oh...we could gamify it too

A6:I'm constantly failing fwd &happy in front of crowd Warn my Ts, no guarantees it'll be perfect, but it'll be awesome!

A6: That's the beauty of 3-Act Math. Answers aren't neat & perfect from the back of the book. Messy & Complicated = Real.
-
Thanks! I don't put a single grade on anything I give students. Their tests have levels of proficiency. https://t.co/LllVVEAT2x

A6: Be real. When kids see you fail, they will know that it’s okay for them to fail too.

No, thank you. What were some of the things that allowed for that transition?
