The best PD I've ever been part of: EDCAMP. #wvedchat No pecking order there. I think that's fundamental to why it's a global phenomenon.

How did pecking order start? So many young teachers get discouraged and quit within first 5 years. It is something to keep in mind #WVEDCHAT

#WVEDCHAT A1 -- I teach art, so in the pecking order, I kind of get left out. Not purposely, but because I'm not a "real teacher." 😂

TWhite25177 Nov 15 @ 8:24 PM EST

When comp is used as a teachable moment, great, when used to degrade! Get rid of it. Never use comp to make one feel lesser. #wvedchat

DrRikki908 - Moderator Nov 15 @ 8:24 PM EST

A2: That's hard! Competition can be healthy, but it can also hurt... #wvedchat

angie_milliman Nov 15 @ 8:24 PM EST

A2 It is counterproductive. We all need to recognize value and areas for potential growth. Together stronger for our kids #wvedchat

AmberoniNCheese Nov 15 @ 8:24 PM EST

Definitely shuts people down. Why do people have fixed mindsets or not have open minds? Our way is not always best #wvedchat

In reply to @tisinaction

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Nov 15 @ 8:24 PM EST

#wvedchat A2 Response to this Q likely mirrors culture at schl. Most that dnt like common formtive assessmnts don't like lookng n the mirror

tisinaction - Moderator Nov 15 @ 8:24 PM EST

A2: Competition that tears others down is no good. Competition for fun and in the spirit of improving is better #wvedchat

stowers_melissa Nov 15 @ 8:24 PM EST

#wvedchat A2: I think pecking orders can get in the way; get in people’s heads, not allow people to do their best

clcdoyle Nov 15 @ 8:25 PM EST

Young teachers are often willing to try new stuff if encouraged. Often held back by old ways #wvedchat

mburk81 - Moderator Nov 15 @ 8:25 PM EST

Q2: Friendly competitions are fine but make sure everyone gets to showcase their strengths. #wvedchat

tisinaction - Moderator Nov 15 @ 8:25 PM EST

In reply to @AmberoniNCheese

In reply to @TWhite25177

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Nov 15 @ 8:26 PM EST

#wvedchat A2 For Ss... #growthmindset much more important. Competition with yourself, your mind.

You just never know what the people are struggling with. So many don't see their strengths but then others thrive #wvedchat

In reply to @DrRikki908

beccarecco Nov 15 @ 8:27 PM EST

#wvedchat A2 I like collaboration better than competition and comparison. This fosters growth and yields better results in class.

#wvedchat A5: Rigidity of grad requirements still promote super chickens.

angie_milliman Nov 15 @ 8:47 PM EST

A5 promote learning spaces that encourage and value and provide plenty of diverse opportunity in and out of class for Ss spotlight #wvedchat

A5: Timed multiplication tests? 9 wrong because they're blank even though the other 41 are correct? Just an example? EEEK! #WVEDCHAT

#wvedchat A5 constantly changing standards that we have to adapt to

AmberoniNCheese Nov 15 @ 8:49 PM EST

#WVEDCHAT How do we change?

TWhite25177 Nov 15 @ 8:50 PM EST

A5: Standardized tests being use as a reward system. Giving prizes to super chickens when they should be learning to learn. #wvedchat

A5: All Ss are "smart" in one way or another! Ts must take time to figure it out! #wvedchat

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Nov 15 @ 8:50 PM EST

#wvedchat A5 Lack of clear lrng targets. Lack of feedback & formative assessment. Over abundance of grades & participation pnts. Avg grades.

TWhite25177 Nov 15 @ 8:51 PM EST

Again, that applies to Ss, Ts, Admins etc... #wvedchat Love the learner/Learning... not the bad grading systems.

AmberoniNCheese Nov 15 @ 8:51 PM EST

What happens when the super chickens are wrong? Rewarded for so long, but then they come to a real challenge. Who is at fault? #WVEDCHAT

TWhite25177 Nov 15 @ 8:52 PM EST

If you wait, you are already behind. #wvedchat

A5 I think points/award displays are horrid. #wvedchat

brenda_bclark Nov 15 @ 8:52 PM EST

A5. Academic competitions where a few students win tangible rewards, and most others don't bother to try. #wvedchat

AmberoniNCheese Nov 15 @ 8:53 PM EST
