DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:07 PM EDT

@chemelnalic fall bonfires are epic! #ankedchat

chemelnalic Sep 29 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: Listening and respecting opinions, communicating clearly, pulling your weight, enjoying each other's company! #ankedchat

NKleinmeyer Sep 29 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: Roles, expectations, goals and a feeling of shared responsibility. #ankedchat

BurtonHable Sep 29 @ 9:08 PM EDT

Bring on those A1 tweets! We are looking to implement PGW in our large ensembles. Excited to learn from everyone #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@chemelnalic has to be communication! #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: End product that the grp must develop together. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@NKleinmeyer Hey Nathan! Shared responsibility is a good one. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@NKleinmeyer Hi Nathan! Yes to all of these! #ankedchat

chemelnalic Sep 29 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine Happy to be here! Reminder from @DRich0696 helped! #ankedchat

NKleinmeyer Sep 29 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Nathan Kleinmeyer, joining in a bit late, I was giving feedback on the Boston Massacre & Tea Party 8th History in Plattsmouth, NE #ankedchat

BurtonHable Sep 29 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Also trying this https://t.co/PhHygxS91l for the first time. This is working way better than Tweetbot! #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@BurtonHable Is band a group thing? Any cooperation required? Ya probably, huh? #ankedchat

chemelnalic Sep 29 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@DRich0696 Totally agree! Fall isn't fall without them! #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A2: Ability groups based on formative data - helps me differentiate so much better! #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2: I like hetero groups that I choose - hand selecting for specific needs and taking students out of their comfort zones a bit. #ankedchat

chemelnalic Sep 29 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@NKleinmeyer Hilarious! This is true of so many groups I was in while in school! #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: Challenge high performers by pairing with middle level students. Mid level Ss are great models for lower Ss w/o pressure. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine Do you have any tech add-ons or apps that group for you after grading your formative? #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:14 PM EDT

NKleinmeyer Sep 29 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: I do a lot of TPS with who ever is closest. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@NKleinmeyer uhhh what??? #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@alneppl I thought you were excited about the topic tonight? Where are the #RockCreek peeps? #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A3: I spend a lot of time (everyday) on roles - modeling in particular. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A3: Have to teach expectations for all group work and roles. Don't expect them to know just because they're (pick an age...) #ankedchat

BurtonHable Sep 29 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A3: Rehearsal behaviors. How to productively contribute to the group as a whole. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A3: how to stay on task (hence the task manager) #ankedchat

BurtonHable Sep 29 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@DRich0696 They don't even have the capacity for these skills until 20+! https://t.co/rdxHIgJkCd #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@BurtonHable Putting the good of the group over the good of the individual is sometimes tough for a young brain. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@alneppl We still use these at the secondary level too! #ankedchat

BurtonHable Sep 29 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@DRich0696 Especially when it comes to our student leaders! How can you positively influence your peers negative behavior? #ankedchat

chemelnalic Sep 29 @ 9:21 PM EDT

I followed the directions to turn off the Quality Filter but not seeing the questions??? #ankedchat

@PeaceLoveMHeine @alneppl Same! We talked about that at lunch today. #ankedchat

NKleinmeyer Sep 29 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: I've found that modeling what each role looks like. For bigger projects making sure we have self check/reflection skills. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:22 PM EDT

I have a group reflection sheet all made up - now just need to conf w/ each grp. #ankedchat https://t.co/9U4WyVwyay

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Q4: How do you get Ss to work cooperatively as a group? How do you use specific roles or jobs? #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@NKleinmeyer For longer durations we might need to revisit the modeling often. #theyforget #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A5: Roles must be interdependent - they have to rely on each other and hold each other accountable. #ankedchat

BurtonHable Sep 29 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A4: Lucky to have the built-in goal of public performance. No one wants the band to do poorly! We set a lot of smaller goals too #ankedchat

chemelnalic Sep 29 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: Learning to listen. Holding each other accountable in a respectful way! #ankedchat

chemelnalic Sep 29 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4: I always made sure the roles were given to students who could handle the responsibilities. Assign an assistant to major roles #ankedchat

NKleinmeyer Sep 29 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4: With 8th graders, I go in with a plan for roles & then let them figure it out on their own. They usually get what I have. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4: Our curric set 4 roles: Facilitator, Recorder/Reporter, Task Mgr, Resource Mgr #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@alneppl Love this! We do the same thing in US History in 11th grade. #ankedchat

BurtonHable Sep 29 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Out of curiosity, knowing my personality as a MS and HS student, do the kids enjoy PGW? Do they contribute at a high level? #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:29 PM EDT

It's a struggle for sure - but when most classes are doing it - it definitely helps the culture. #ankedchat https://t.co/MI536ylQnR

JimWichman Sep 29 @ 9:29 PM EDT

#ankedchat Roles clarified, practiced, & modeled. Then done again throughout the year.

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@JimWichman Hi Jim! - Great to have you! #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Q5: How is your preparation different for group work compared to independent work? #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@JimWichman Hey Jim - glad you dropped in! #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A5: I try to ensure that each role will play a part in each task. So that takes a little more time to prep. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A5: If a collaborative culture is established, prep is similar. Group work is certainly enhanced by 1:1 and planning is easier. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A5: Scaffolding is easier in groups than individually - less prep on a daily basis. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@chemelnalic Granted, I'm really old, but we had listening tests in elementary school. Listened to audiotapes then had a test. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine interdependence is a key. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@alneppl facilitator is my goal - I have spent way too much time "on stage" in my career. I need to be beside them instead. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:36 PM EDT

Q6: What are some tips for beginners to make initial group lessons successful? #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A6: Start with a small task that can be accomplished in a class period with each role playing a part. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A6: Don't be afraid to stop and adjust if things are not going a you anticipate. #ankedchat

JimWichman Sep 29 @ 9:37 PM EDT

Make sure roles are clear and have purpose for success in the task. #ankedchat https://t.co/773HNeaTVK

A6: It might get loud but if they are focused the volume isn't a problem. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:38 PM EDT

.@JimWichman - just saw that you asked for this. #ankedchat https://t.co/jNdpvlg5fG

Q5: How is your preparation different for group work compared to independent work? #ankedchat

chemelnalic Sep 29 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A6: Make sure expectations are clear so there is no confusion. Assign roles rather than just letting them loose!!! #ankedchat

NKleinmeyer Sep 29 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A6: Have a goal in mind, but be flexible. Check in with students often on progress. Ensure learning is happening. It will be loud #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:40 PM EDT

.@alneppl YES!!! #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@chemelnalic Loosey goosey roles usually end up badly. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:42 PM EDT

Q7: What happens when changes need to be made in the middle of a group task/project? #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@alneppl @NKleinmeyer Agree with you both - loud isn't noise if work is being done! #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A7: Don't be afraid to admit that things aren't perfect - try a different plan with confidence. Let kids see your vulnerability. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A7: Hit the pause button FOR SURE! Trust your instincts! #ankedchat

@JimWichman Looks like it was a great day at PRMS today! #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@alneppl modeling failing forward is the only way to get Ss to take risks consistently in the classroom. It's a MUST. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Q8: What goals or products seem to be the most motivational for group engagement? #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A8: My Ss are motivated by direct connection to success on assessments. If the group learning relates to their growth they're in. #ankedchat

NKleinmeyer Sep 29 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A8: Students love competitions, even something goofy. Make a game of it, or a award prizes for best role in a group. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A8: Tasks that are too hard to complete independently but as a group working together can achieve the end result. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A8: Public praise praise praise #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine They really appreciate the group aspect when the task is challenging. #ankedchat

I get to participate tonight because my wife is watching Project Runway… Looking forward to #ankedchat as a distraction!

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@DRich0696 if it's too easy - it kinda defeats the purpose if they can do it on their own. #ankedchat

ACHSLib Sep 29 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A8: Like us, they want to be able to have something they can use again when they finish. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@NKleinmeyer Truth - they love games and competing against each other - not for grades but for little contests. #ankedchat

NKleinmeyer Sep 29 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A7: Love the breakout boxes. I've seen them from early elementary all the way thru high school and beyond. Great for group think. #ankedchat

JimWichman Sep 29 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Q8: Internal sense of accomplishment. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:52 PM EDT
