Today’s spark chat is all about reflecting on whether your school has a teaching culture or a learning culture? #INZPirED

@ChouinardJahant Hi Melissa. Great to connect again. #INZPirED

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 26 @ 10:33 PM EDT

In a way leadership is important but what about collective responsibility and dialogue?#INZPirED https://t.co/fpigFfD7fA

AguilarEscob Aug 26 @ 10:31 PM EDT

@KSThakral it's depends on leadership, superintendent's philosophy of teaching.

@RewardingEdu Hi Robert. Hope you are well. Discussing teaching vs learning culture -which in prevalent in your school experience. #INZPirED

@ChouinardJahant Definitely but what is the ground reality in different schools. Are we collectively following this? #INZPirED

JenaiaMorane Aug 26 @ 10:37 PM EDT

#INZpired This ? confused me. I think we need to redefine teaching to mean interaction, engagement & an iterative process or give & take.

@KSThakral it's depends on management style, there are still authoritarian superintendents

I see the distinction more between teaching & facilitating. Empowering kids to progressively take control of their learning. #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 26 @ 10:41 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane Think teaching meant focusing on content and being prescriptive #INZPirED

JenaiaMorane Aug 26 @ 10:41 PM EDT

@RewardingEdu #INZpired Agree. We need 2 get into it with Ss & not be afraid 2 let them find & "teach" us things we don't know. Collaborate.

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 26 @ 10:42 PM EDT

ChouinardJahant Aug 26 @ 10:43 PM EDT

Once education is seen as a way to guide Ss toward their own learning rather than just loading data into Ss true change will begin #INZPirED

JenaiaMorane Aug 26 @ 10:44 PM EDT

@KSThakral @ChouinardJahant #INZpired Last year I saw one 3rd grade class in NPHC impact a whole school. Ss carried lessons into RL.

RewardingEdu Aug 26 @ 10:44 PM EDT

It's truly a paradigm shift to EQAUL emphasis on social, emotional, soulful & academic learning. Meets kids essential needs. #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Aug 26 @ 10:50 PM EDT

@KSThakral #INZpired BTW, I don't think it is me so much as providing Ss w/stories & projects that engage & empower-They always over deliver

agree yet I struggle with the "genius' description #INZpirED overhang from my own schooling experiences https://t.co/W8xDMzsY8D

  @VipulaSharma1 @rsehji I would love to implement a 10% or 20% time for Ts and Ss to do just that. One to think about #INZPirED

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 26 @ 11:16 PM EDT

@nzvh That they do - passion drives you when all else fails #INZPirED

JenaiaMorane Aug 26 @ 11:17 PM EDT

@ChouinardJahant #INZpired Me too! All girls Catholic high school. I was miserable.

ChouinardJahant Aug 26 @ 11:17 PM EDT

@Edk8R @JenaiaMorane @KSThakral #INZpirED Sounds amazing.

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 26 @ 11:18 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 Hmmm. Sounds interesting - Is anyone measuring / reporting its impact? See a great paper here #INZPirED

JenaiaMorane Aug 26 @ 11:18 PM EDT

@mrterborg @KSThakral @VipulaSharma1 #INZpired Love it when they have something they've discovered to share. So proud and excited :-)

ChouinardJahant Aug 26 @ 11:19 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane #INZPirED It was very uninspiring. Hated school until HS when I got. Reprieve ant attended a public HS.

@AguilarEscob @KSThakral Personal learning network. #INzpired

VipulaSharma1 Aug 26 @ 11:19 PM EDT

@KSThakral yes as PLC's are linked to Ts PL goals, lesson observations, Ts feedback #INZpired

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 26 @ 11:20 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane Lol what can I say different perception of time. Einstein did say time is relative #INZPirED

JenaiaMorane Aug 26 @ 11:21 PM EDT

@ChouinardJahant #INZpired I got stuck in Catholic 8th grade then on to high school. So rigid and one size fits all. Ick

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 26 @ 11:21 PM EDT

KSThakral - Moderator Aug 26 @ 11:22 PM EDT

@mrterborg @ChouinardJahant Haha indeed :) :) #INZPirED

ChouinardJahant Aug 26 @ 11:22 PM EDT

If Ts are uninspired, negative, and frustrated how can students enjoy learning? We need to look beyond the constraints & inspire #INZpirED

VipulaSharma1 Aug 26 @ 11:23 PM EDT

ChouinardJahant Aug 26 @ 11:29 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane #INZpired It was. But the positive was it made me want to be a teacher- to make sure every student has a voice.

VipulaSharma1 Aug 26 @ 11:29 PM EDT

@KSThakral I think more schools are beginning to see the value and it does lead to good results #INZpired
