For those who are new...we do a “structured chat” with Question 1, Q1, with Answer 1, A1, to support all to participate! #cdnedchat

cdnedchat - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:06 PM EDT

Tonight’s #cdnedchat topic is Risk Taking

cdnedchat - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:06 PM EDT

Let’s get started! Our first question is coming up! #cdnedchat

BSchlacht - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:06 PM EDT

Good evening Bill Schlacht Principal Bev Facey High School #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:07 PM EDT

Q1: What role does risk take in the classroom, for students and/or for teachers? #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@BSchlacht Hi Bill. #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: Students are always taking risks learning new things. I enjoy taking risks learning alongside them. #CdnEdChat

NDuch061 Mar 14 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1. I think our changing approach to teaching, more inquiry, etc., means we are asking students to take more risk. #cdnedchat

RCollishaw Mar 14 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Hi all Rachel from Ottawa. Instructional coach with OCDSB. Literacy, history, social science and the outdoors #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: Asking more questions. Learning from our mistakes. #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@NDuch061 I agree. When we ask students to learn without an answer key, it's a lot riskier. #CdnEdChat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@RCollishaw Great to have you join us tonight, Rachel. #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@TheCandyDish Gotta make mistakes to learn from them. Break a few eggs, so to speak. #CdnEdChat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@NDuch061 I would completely agree. Students are being asked to take more risks. #cdnedchat

stupidtalk Mar 14 @ 8:11 PM EDT

your risks as a teacher need to be in line it's the vision of your leadership or you might as well forget it 😀 #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@RCollishaw Hi Rachel, great to have you joining us tonight. #CdnEdChat

Crippit Mar 14 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Hey #cdnedchat.... I've missed the start what's the topic?

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@Crippit Taking risks in the classroom #CdnEdChat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@Crippit Also, how's it going? Aside from the hangouts chat, I mean. #CdnEdChat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@stupidtalk Do you think most teachers know their vision and use that to direct their risks? #cdnedchat

RCollishaw Mar 14 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Risk taking must be modeled. We need to show our students that we learn by taking risks, then they will do it too. #cdnedchat

stupidtalk Mar 14 @ 8:13 PM EDT

one of my classroom expectations is Take Risks to Learn #cdnedchat

Crippit Mar 14 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Ooooh! #cdnedchat @MadeleineVigar once told me that you should never be afraid to try something new, just learn from it if it doesn't work

ChristineYH Mar 14 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Hi. Christine from the Sunshine Coast, BC. Late to join. Math educator, grad student, school trustee. #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@Crippit @MadeleineVigar Totally agree. Failure is as much a learning opportunity as success (and often more so) #CdnEdChat

BSchlacht - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:14 PM EDT

TheCandyDish - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@ChristineYH Hi Christine, Great to have you join us. #cdnedchat Just on Q1.

ChristineYH Mar 14 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A1. Risk requires vulnerably but also a willingness to accept uncertainty by Ss & Ts. No fixed end pt. #cdnedchat https://t.co/GKtHv9wTfj

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:07 PM EDT

Q1: What role does risk take in the classroom, for students and/or for teachers? #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@misspollock Woohoo!! Shauna. Are you at Starbucks? #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A1: You cannot learn anything without taking a risk. Sometimes the risks are relatively minor, other times they're huge. #cdnedchat

Crippit Mar 14 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A1: Students are always too afraid to take risks and try something new. Too Afraid to fail. It's an essential skill for them #CdnEdChat

BSchlacht - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@ChristineYH Good to have you with us Christine #cdnedchat

@jpetersen02 @BSchlacht hey gang. It's been a long time. So happy you guys are still doing #cdnedchat ! I remember the 1st 😄

misspollock - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A1: Ts model risk taking & create an environment where Ss are safe to take risks. Failure should be embraced as part of learning #CdnEdChat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@TanyaAvrith TANYAAAAA! So great to see you! #CdnEdChat

misspollock - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Last yr, @epcotclass started the year with one rule and one rule only - Be Brave. Ss learned to define what that meant for them. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@stupidtalk @TheCandyDish It's incredible the paths we can get on - heading through life like an automaton, not reflecting #cdnedchat

cdnedchat - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:21 PM EDT

Quick poll question: would you rather teach... #CdnEdChat

misspollock - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@stupidtalk @TheCandyDish When I ask ppl (in&out of edu) what their goals are, where they are headed, most are stumped to answer #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@TanyaAvrith @jpetersen02 @BSchlacht Great to see you, beautiful. Thanks for your vision for #cdnedchat.

TheCandyDish - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:19 PM EDT

Q2: What's the biggest risk you've taken as an educator? #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Kids start out as risk-takers. Ever seen a two-year old? We put them in school and crush that out of them, filling them w fear #cdnedchat

TTMobile_ca Mar 14 @ 8:22 PM EDT

#cdnedchat is now trending in Canada, ranking 33

downrightdave Mar 14 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@TheCandyDish A2: I think one of them was flipping my math, but I've loved it! #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2: I travelled to Africa, in a remote mountain village, was the first outsider to live and teach there. #cdnedchat

Crippit Mar 14 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2: Moving to a new country, with a new curriculum teaching a new subject #CdnEdChat

ChristineYH Mar 14 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2. Continued. Loved a dialogical and dynamic math classroom. Loved new ideas. Maybe my biggest risk... Leaving the classroom. #CdnEdChat

RCollishaw Mar 14 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2 Toss up: The Greatest Pharoah March Madness tournament or collab. inquiry on Lit. with 8 schools! #cdnedchat https://t.co/ilxp65VscI

@misspollock Wow. A micro-school. I never heard of such a thing. What inspired you to do so? #CdnEdChat

A3. As a new grad in Ontario, just a lack of opportunity to actually teach in a classroom consistently #cdnedchat

@stupidtalk Changing culture is like herding cats. Nigh on impossible, but an interesting challenge. #CdnEdChat

RCollishaw Mar 14 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@ChristinaMoor22 @TheCandyDish I already do that! We actually do interviews supported with portfolios and a concrete product. #cdnedchat

BSchlacht - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A 4. I think is is a positive thing to fail once in a while. We can learn even more from our failures. #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A4: Would love to get rid of classrooms and just have different rooms for students to work and learn. #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@BSchlacht If we never fail, we're not working in our zone of proximal development. Playing it safe prevents innovation. #CdnEdChat

misspollock - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:46 PM EDT

All of the A4s are awesome. I hope everyone goes for it! Take the risk - your ideas are incredible and will inspire! #CdnEdChat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@stupidtalk True. The impetus for change always needs to be a focus on how it will improve things and serve immediate needs #CdnEdChat

Quick poll question: Would you rather try... #CdnEdChat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@misspollock love the idea. I want rooms not just students set up by grade. #cdnedchat

@Crippit @jpetersen02 I wonder why. Lack of vision and planning? #cdnedchat

@TheCandyDish Idea for future chat: dream school....or #rethinkschool / #rethinkhighschool ?! #cdnedchat

RCollishaw Mar 14 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@ChristinaMoor22 @TheCandyDish #cdnedchat Each piece is an opportunity for Ss. An interview unsupported by evidence is not as good.

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@TheCandyDish @Crippit It's much harder to assess this type of learning, and requires educators who are willing to be the student #CdnEdChat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A5: I started a classroom Twitter account in 2013 and haven't looked back. Love it. #cdnedchat

@JwhiteJudith I can say the same. I like the challenges that ppl present me with #CdnEdChat. I'm loving working with the @MapleSyrupEDU team

jpetersen02 - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:54 PM EDT

misspollock - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A6: Have the Ss collaborate to create classroom rules, norms, values and expectations. Model and insist on respect for process #cdnedchat
