#MasteryChat is a weekly chat with a growing family of educators from around the word focused on teaching better and reaching more students. Topics cover an array of challenges and solutions for teachers of all grade levels and subject areas, admins, and support staff.
#MasteryChat occurs every Thursday at 8:00pm eastern.
The chat was created by team at @thegridmethod, but is hosted by guest moderators each week. Our primary moderators are @techieteachott, @raehugart, and @jeffgargas.

Please introduce yourself with your name and where you're from.
Hello. My name is Susan, and I am a soon to be 1st year teacher from IL. I am also the founder of #newteachertribe which will have its inaugural chat this Sunday at 8:30 pm CST. #masterychat
A1. around a 6.
A lot of things went on that challenged us but we grew together as a family. Next year we will come back stronger and ready to tackle the culture. #masterychat
What's up man! Thanks for joining tonight! You're my suit twin with the purple gear! I've got mine lined up for tomorrow to wear! #MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
A1: I would rate it as a 10. The staff was extremely positive and supportive of me as a student teacher. I loved the climate, and the school had a truly unique feel. #masterychat
A1: I would rate our culture a solid 9! Lots of positivity and great feelings going on at the school. Always room to grow, but the people I work with are more than colleagues they are family. And we try to make our students feel welcomed always! #masterychat@ERobbPrincipal
A1 Based on my current group of 7th graders I would say a 6. They are a very tough group, and it has taken a lot of time and energy to get them to realize some things that most 7th graders already know! #MasteryChat
Working with @thegridmethod I see a lot of different ratings (probably enough to fill the scale! ) the oneโs with the best culture though have a foundation of trust and respect for both students and staff. #masterychat
Lets say an 8!
Always room to grow, but I love seeing the ownership Students, Teachers, Administration, and our Community take in making sure our building is awesome! #LimitlessSchool#masterychat
A1 Been a bit of a roller coaster ride this school year. Started out an 8 with some awesome start of the year PD, but it quickly plummeted to a 3 or 4. Bounced up and down and around all year long. #masterychat
Q1 - Actually very close to the 9-10 range. Everyone works really hard at my school. The kids are positive, the teachers are excited to learn, and the community just loves being in our school. Could not have asked for a better year. #MasteryChat
A1: Under the constant changes in 4th & 5th grade I'd rate it at an 8. The culture is what brought me to @CaldwellElemen We're always doing crazy, innovative things with our students, but always looking for more. #MasteryChat
A1 - I would rate our culture at a 5 right now. We have 3 floors and although we have some consistent culture, the different floors lends itself to multiple cultures especially since we are an #alted#PBL school #Masterychat#LimitlessSchool
A1: we were an 8 this year. Our building has been my favorite by far and the staff's passion is easy to see. We truly enjoy our jobs and work well together. We had several new staff members (transitioning) but they quickly made a positive impact. #masterychat
A1- being in a new place has made it difficult to evaluate, but Iโd have to go with a 5 and take some personal responsibility for it not being higher. #masterychat
IMO 7th grade is the toughest year (and the one I least liked as a kid.) I think 6 is still pretty good! I would have taken a 6 in some of my hardest years. #masterychat
Phil - Love this! Always room to grow, right?
I think people you work with being family is outstanding. How do you think you build this ... everywhere?!? #LimitlessSchool#masterychat
A1) I think a 7. I think we have a solid community, & r pretty close due to being an international school. Most of us don't have family here, so we end up getting close. But sometimes I feel there's a divide b/n national & foreign Ts. #MasteryChat
A1: Bottom half of the scale, but the arrow is pointing up. We're beginning to reflect on our conversations, mindsets. We need to rebuild some broken relationships between the 3 major groups within the building - Admin, teachers, & students. #masterychat
A1: Not sure I could choose a number, but I feel confident saying there are awesome teachers and staff members who are willing to solve problems and help out from fixing laminators to celebrations! #masterychat
A1 I'd rate it around a 7. It's getting better, but we have a long way to go! We have always been more focused on scores and college acceptance rates than the whole child or matery learning. Started looking into it last year and have been improving ever since #masterychat
A1: I would rate our school culture at an 8.
A LOT of great changes because of new administration! Culture begins with the leader...and we have a great one!! #LeadLAPโ๏ธ
#masterychat
A1. It varies by time of year and even in regards to different elements of school. Work ethic/grit there is work to do. Including the more marginalized Ss pretty good, most Ss look out for those who need it. Monitoring of mental health, going in the right direction. #MasteryChat
A1: I would say it's an 8. We get very good feedback from parents and teachers very often. Of course, there is some work to do to improve in some areas. #masterychat
A1: I work at a few different school sites and some I would rate higher than others. I think the leadership and how much they listened to their teachersโ needs really makes the most difference in each school culture #MasteryChat
A1: 1 of my biggest goals was to help stakeholders feel move involved & better informed. I think we were an 8. This number comes from an end of the year survey I sent out. It was good to hear the positive feedback from all the hardwork that went into this component
#masterychat
A1: On a scale of 1-10 I think we rank 9 in school culture. I can honestly say our staff is happy, we all come together as a family and we all support each other. That culture trickles down to our children. Teachers like @MireyaRios17 make the difference. #MasteryChat
A1: Through tragedy close to the beginning of the year we pulled each other up and rose above until the end...I would say a solid 9! We have an amazing school! #MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
A1 Depends what โbestโ means. For a culture that supports student learning? 9. Creativity? 10. Respect? 4. Trust? 2. What we call โbestโ depends on what we value. #MasteryChat
A1: 7 because while I think we have a fantastic school culture it is still a work in progress. We are working to get everyone on the same page & build positive morale for ss & staff. Lots of new things being implemented & change is harder for some. #MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
A1- Moving in the right direction. Our buildingโs instructional leadership team met today, we reflected on the year, and made some plans to improve next year. Itโs day two of summer break for us, but we still came together to keep growing! #MasteryChat
Leslie Hopp, soon-to-be first year special education teacher at the high school level. I prefer to communicate in GIFs, but words work too sometimes ๐ #masterychat
A1: 4? Need to work pretty hard at the community thinking education is good for them. 3 new Administrators in the building I think that each have their own work to gain some more trust from the teachers. Working with the kids in some unity projects though :) #MasteryChat
A1) As a district coach my scale varies from building to building. My dream is that all buildings bring the ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ and break that 10 point scale #masterychat
A1 It was a fairly standard year with lots of collaboration and the building of new knowledge. I would rate it a solid 9 for the most part. #MasteryChat
A1: I am thankful for our schoolโs leadership that has recognizes the importance of school culture and looks for ways to continue to improve the culture of our school- I believe there is always room for improvement here #masterychat#limitlessschool
A1: This was my first year with my district. Giving a rating is quite difficult as culture should be measured after an extended amount of time with evidence of patterns. We are pack full of dedicated Ts, support staff, and admin all drawn to a fantastic bunch of Ss. #masterychat
A1 A solid 5...Started off strong and working together...things gradually moved to more isolated groups and complaining without problem solving...positive outlook for next yr #MasteryChat
A1: I would say 6-7. We have been going through a lot of changes and this has been tough for some. Change is tough; however, remaining positive and embracing the change is so important. #MasteryChat
Iโve had this year. Actually itโs one of the things that led me to create @thegridmethod. However. sometimes itโs โthat groupโ of students that brings out the best in us as educators. Another thing that can help is finding the positive and focusing on small victories #masterychat
Hello, #masterychat! Iโm Anna, an enthusiastic English/AVID educator from San Diego! I will be catching up when I get home. Just leaving! Might be in traffic for a bit. Canโt wait to learn from everyone!
A1: Involving the stakeholders for a positive school climate is crucial. I hope to see the school decisions being made with open-dialogue for everyone to freely exchange ideas and respect their multiple views before decisions become policies. #MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
A1: I would rate us at a 7... a great deal of positivity but always room to grow! More Ts and As on social media to allow our doors to come down and community able to โseeโ in! BYOB... Bring Your Own Breakfast for Ts to hang on Fridays! #masterychat
I agree. This year I have done more #edtech and tried more new things than ever before. I feel like I am throwing everything I have at them! #masterychat
Connecting with the community and/or changing their mindset of school is a challenge. I find finding purposeful ways to get them involved (even just one foot in the door) can be very helpful! What is your next step to improve this? #LimitlessSchool#masterychat
A1: 7 out of 10. District cuts hurt, but, and it sounds so unquantifiable, there was just a warm, fuzzy feeling today... more than any other day. People at my school really do care about one another. #MasteryChat
A1: Itโs hard for me to put a number on it, but I think our culture is growing in great ways. We have a lot of new staff and we are getting a new principal next year. #masterychat
It lifts my heart to see a lot of people rating their school culture above the half way point! It is not something that every school has- you all must work hard at it! #masterychat
A1:one of my biggest goals was to help stakeholders feel more involved & better informed. We were an 8. This number comes from an end of the year survey I sent out. It was good to hear the positive feedback from all the hardwork that went into this component
#MasteryChat
A1. I think that with any school's culture, there is always improvements which can be made! I would give our school between a 7-8 realistically. We have to base things on each classroom, T open to parent engagement, welcoming, working with ELL families, etc. #masterychat
#masterychat
A1: started as a 10 as I could not believe the people I was joining actually liked sโs! Some bologna made a stinky 2-3. But I refuse to give in, so about an 8 now. With concerts over the 2 next weeks, it will end on an exhausted 10 ๐
A2: by giving them a chance to reflect and address their misconceptions in groups. Students observed claims, researched, and stated their own view of the claim. Sometimes they disagreed, but the discourse was amazing. #masterychat
A1 7 we struggled a bit but we've worked to get back on track. I'm happy to say that kids have been our focus, we are just a woek in progress this year. #MasteryChat
A2. With our technology initiative, students were given the freedom and responsibility to show what they got. Many of our kids really stepped up! #MasteryChat
I think if I was to rate the whole staff I would give it a 7. We have many strong personalities that donโt always open to change, but there are so many amazing staff that love innovating and doing crazy things for the Ss #MasteryChat
Mapping out our professional learning for 20189-2018 to find our "why", determine our school brand, and help our Ts set their personal growth goals! #masterychat#LimitlessSchool
Too many goals to count and growing all the time!! Right now: reorganize my pacing to hit neglected regions of the world, set up global chats, read some awesome PD books, and make my materials more user-friendly #masterychat
A2 - Give them choice in their learning and allow them to be leaders in their own right. They need to understand how failure and success taste on a personal level before they can lead others to success. #MasteryChat
A2: At @MooreMagnetES this year, I created classroom greeters, hallway greeters, and Ambassadors, which has brought social (soft) skills to the forefront of their interactions with others using my research-based product called #SPECIAL#MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
A2: By building a classroom community. We were solid! My preschoolers had a better line than most of the upper grades and they loved getting the compliments! #MasteryChat
A2: In order to get my Ss to act as leaders, I had to model that. I recently read "Quiet" by @susancain, and it emphasized quiet leaders. Due to the fact that I can be introverted at times, I helped my quieter Ss see themselves as the leaders that they are. #masterychat
A1: As Principal, I hesitate to โrateโ the culture but in my opinion itโs an 8. Feeling good about it based on feedback but always room to grow! #MasteryChat
A2: I think I lead my kids to be kind humans this year, at least...the groundwork has been set since they are little people learning so many things about the world around them. #masterychat
A2: I empower my students to be leaders in and out of the classroom through high expectations for respectful discourse with other students and adults. Communication is so important! #masterychat#limitlessschool
A2 - empowering leaders inside the classroom started with a focus on growth mindset. Personal ownership of learning is key to being a leader! #masterychat
A2: I wanted Ss to be able to lead in their learning so we did a lot of choice and inquiry based projects where they were able to apply what we were learning in a way that was meaningful to them #masterychat
Remember you grow and learn with them. Itโs great that you tried so many new things. SOMETIMES...itโs letting go, increasing ownership and accountability that help students truly thrive (even the difficult ones ;) ) This is a huge part of @thegridmethod#masterychat
In reply to
@MrsAsztalos, @thegridmethod, @thegridmethod
A2: We have had many discussions about how our behaviors represent who we are, inside and outside the classroom. Be the role model, show kindness, and offer support to peers. We have a weekly coffee station to increase social skills and integration. #masterychat
A2: I empowered my students to be in control of how they presented their mastery of knowledge on certain tasks. They taught me how to use a few apps and we worked together to create a way to use them in class. #masterychat
A2: I build strong relationships with my SS, so I know the strengths of each student. That way, I know when and where they will be comfortable in a leadership role! #masterychat
A2: we have student led clubs in our building and allow them to have a voice in what we do. Several students also do daily announcements to praise other students. Finally, I had a few students to make a welcome video for new students, families, and staff. #masterychat
My school is awesome. I'd say 9-10. Small and supportive staff. Students feel loved and cared for. #masterychat (and this is not just because my principal @hcs_echs follows me)
A2: service learning projects. We got some very high praise from other district officials and local community members. We shared the start with hello message.
#MasteryChat
Q2: I'm not in the classroom, but I worked with many students this year. I empowered them to be leaders by helping them improve their organizational skills and boost their confidence. #MasteryChat
A2. In the classroom I have Ss help each other and direct activities without my guidance, choosing their own pathway to mastery. Outside the classroom it is more difficult but there has been some character building. #MasteryChat
A2: I empowered my students to be leaders with our classroom culture. We had weekly celebrations, we had ambassadors, and we worked on sharing our social skills with the school & community #MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
A2: Demonstrate random acts of kindness, share during Genius Hour, buddy read, tutoring, collaboration, create a business plan for entrepreneurship. . . #masterychat
A2 - my last unit was chemistry/business of chocolate bars. Was a huge hit. Ss who grasped the #Entrepreneurship mindset totally lead Ss who struggled without my direction. They were vested in their final bar and their business plan. Helped end year on + note #MasteryChat
A2: I can't thank @gcouros & @JoyKirr enough for pushing me through their writing to unleash Genius Hour in my classroom. Over a calendar year removed and I still have some students working to improve their projects #masterychat
In my classroom we use the #TeachFurther Internship model so students are able to take on real roles in the community to master content. This has naturally allowed each student, in their own way, to become their own definition of a leader. #LimitlessSchool#masterychat
A2 (contโ): one of my favorite out of building leadership experiences for my students is the #studentshowcases at @ncties each spring! Itโs amazing to see students share their learning with educators from around NC #masterychat#limitlessschool
A2: When students have questions, I will sometimes point them to other students to help. I empower my student leaders by using them to help prompt discussion and often times my students regulate each other. Good routines are a big help! #masterychat
A2: I think the biggest way I empowered ss this year was by having my 4th and 5th graders do ss led IEPs. It helped them learn about their disabilities and advocate for themselves. #MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
A2 Outside the classroom, our 6th graders showed leadership by organizing walkouts. Inside, they led by example, showing compassion for each other and writing about the struggles that matter to them.
#MasteryChat
A1: As for supportiveness our school is one big family. For example, we do happiness days once a month where a certain group of teachers brings in food for everyone! #masterychat
#MasteryChat A2. Ss took their stands in expression they made projects for the community..working for animal shelter,old age homes, visually and hearing impaired, and they were able to talk about solutions for global issues like Religious disharmony. These were all Ss driven
Q2: When students wrote and performed monologues for Playwriting, it was incredible to see them take control of their narrative and command presence on the stage. This change translated into the classroom as well. So amazing... #masterychat
A2: Near the end of the year I was really encouraging my Ss to advocate for themselves and wish I had started earlier. Always encourage Ss to try new things and get to know peers. Constantly working on Take advantage of opportunities and work hard, have integrity. #masterychat
A2: implemented daily responsive/restorative circles in all classrooms this year depending on need of day. Also use restorative practices with small groups daily. Ss are working to solve their own problems, share feelings, develop empathy, and will ask for a Circle! #MasteryChat
A2: We have clubs that provide those opportunities. Students are a key part of our Cub News Crew. They conduct interviews, are photographers at programs, help conducting the newscast, etc. We also have StuCo that is involved in service projects around the school. #masterychat
A2) First, making it known my Ss are the most important asset in the building - you matter, I hear your voice and we are in this together! #masterychat
A2. By giving Ss the chance to lead in our discussions and activities with voice and choice, they were able to share their views, opinions, discussions, observations, form arguments in discussions of debating on subject matter. #masterychat
A2 So many ways! Everything from small opportunities and encouragements to speak up and speak their mind to the ability to form their own learning experience with genius hours. I also love that I am at an @ibpyp school that encourages and supports student action! #masterychat
A2) I had my students teach the class as much as possible, lead lessons, run literature circles and I try have my House Council come up with community and school wide ideas to support or help others #MasteryChat
A1. I work with some amazing people who are like my family but this has been a hard year for us all. Rating scale cannot be determined at this time. #MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
A2 I encourage leadership in my classes by putting my students in positions that make them feel responsible. Also Weekly collaborations, I give them topics to research on and come to class to teach. #masterychat
A2: I tried my best to incorporate texts such as a book study, I AM @Malala to empower my students with vital concepts: power of education, conviction, courage, selflessness, & to become a torch bearer for justice. #MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
One universal truth is that students CANโT be the issue. It canโt be โthis yearโs groupโs faultโ because they are the reason we are here, the reason we work, the reason we exist as educators. Itโs all for them. ALWAYS #masterychat
A2: I helped co-found our Leadership in Action program. We rolled it out to Freshmsn this year. Helping them master 7 key leadership skills and allow them to collaborate and reflect on those skills throughout their HS career. #masterychat
#masterychat
A2: sโs have been in charge of creating a mini musical which they titled โEmpoweredโ & includes works by MLK, JFK, & songs like swing low, this is me, power in me, & All of me ๐ถ They are amazing ๐๐๐ถ
A2 I encourage my Students (Teachers) to integrate at least one piece of technology in the their classrooms. For them to understand it is OK to fail but also to use failure as a teachable moment. What did they get out of the experience? #LimitlessSchool#MasteryChat
A2) I teach them to problem solve and to be their own "boss".They r ages 6 and 7,so theyRvery dependent on theT&reluctant 2 make decisions. It takes some work, but they can do it! I encourage them to think about it and come up with their own decision/solution. #masterychat
A2- The little things go a long way in building relationships. If one of our students doesnโt receive a โgood morningโ when they wake up, you might make their day if you give them that greeting at school. Leaders have to model how we treat people. #MasteryChat
A3: I LOVED having a chance to work, plan, and teach with @lynzhite. We spent hours planning lessons that would encourage discourse and embrace creativity amongst all of our 7th Grade scientists! #masterychat
A2: we focus on growth mindset too! Saying โnot yet.โ We also were @qleducation Quantum trained this year and that led to some more student-led activities #masterychat
A2 - empowering leaders inside the classroom started with a focus on growth mindset. Personal ownership of learning is key to being a leader! #masterychat
Thank you! It stemmed from a great conference I went to several years ago called "I'm Determined". I learned so much that I still use in the classroom! #MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
A3 I wish I had an answer for this one, but don't really have any one that fits this. I just do my own thing. My team is great, but we each do our own thing. #masterychat
When staff โdig their heelsโ in itโs usually a sign that something is outside of their comfort zone. Sometimes having the discussion and finding out about what that is can help break down the wall a bit #masterychat
A3: Our social emotional teacher was an absolutely invaluable part of my team this year. My kids canโt learn when their social emotional needs arenโt being met. #masterychat
A3: I worked closely with my team. They were all 100 percent invested in student success, and because of that, we were able to work well together and reach different students based on our individual personalities. #masterychat
A2 - developing an MGP that had Ss take on an issue that affects teens and needs solutions really strengthened their confidence in seeing themselves as voices of change. Another must have leadership quality, voice. #masterychat
A2: I tried my best to incorporate texts such as a book study, I AM @Malala to empower my students with vital concepts: power of education, conviction, courage, selflessness, & to become a torch bearer for justice. #MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
A2 I helped them create a lesson plan on a topic of their choice and they got to teach it to classmates and other members of the school. For so many it sparked a deeper dive into something they love! #masterychat
A3: I worked well with the teachers that have the same levels as I do, but I also wanted to collaborate with teachers in other departments so I made an effort to observe outside of my department and it was amazing #masterychat
A2. My kids presented passion projects during @geniushour They created service projects, informed student body and staff about Autism /Down Syndrome and spread kindness so many ways: leaving kind notes in library books, cards on cars, etc... #MasteryChat
A1: I'd like to think we're at a solid 5. We're still building the culture, with all stakeholders. We've made tremendous gains this year though! #MasteryChat
A3: I collaborated with my fellow teammates on projects and writing grants and implementing a coding club, buddy reading, mentoring. It helps provide a purpose for staff and students. #masterychat
A3 - I worked a lot with our district tech department, my principal, and my department to implement new technology that opens doors for teachers to new patterns in their classroom. It was invigorating and I am excited to return to it later this year. #MasteryChat
A3: @mccall_kelley ,our principal. She and her leadership team brought the staff ideas to implement for a trauma-informed/trauma-responsive culture in our building. I saw a huge change in the culture in my classroom after adopting these practices. #MasteryChat
A2. I need to do better with this. My Ss did love using Seesaw this year to share their work with their families. They were allowed to choose their best pieces to share. We also UDL a few times. We had one that worked really well. The others need to be tweaked #MasteryChat
#MasteryChat Jerry Toups aka #JediOfBelieve checking in. Just finished riding my bike, mowing the yard, and walking the dog! Big day in my room. The kids made and completed the 2017 - 2018 #AlwaysBeliev sign.
A3: I'm very lucky to call @DMartesi a colleague. We have mostly the same views and ideas of how to innovate. But just enough honest & healthy discourse to keep pushing each other to make the best decisions for Ss #masterychat
A2: Students were empowered to be leaders through various clubs throughout my school. Two of my Ts started a Student Ambassador program which has been amazing to see grow! #MasteryChat
A3: I am forever grateful for the instructional leadership team at @HSESCheetahs and the shared vision drive that this group exhibited this year to improve student learning! #marriage#limitlessschool#masterychat
A5) Less space on earth; fewer resources; all earth's current issues would become even more urgent; perhaps there could be some benefit of having become very wise in our older age & implement changes. #masterychat
A3) I worked with two amazing aids in my classroom, one in math and one for students with IEPs. Without either of them Ss would have never made so much growth. I couldnโt do it without them #MasteryChat
A3- honesty here, I was in a single relationship for most of this year. But Iโve lined up a few new mates for next year. #beingsingleisntallthat#masterychat
The stress of the year and life can slowly erode the first few weeks of positivity...Sticking together and having some breaks to reset and refresh always help #MasteryChat
A2: We have a student advisory committee through our honor society and the officers advise me on student matters or how to better improve our school. They are required to serve the community through volunteering. Here are the officers in my office. #MasteryChat
A3 My school psychologist and my ESL coordinator (she was a great help this year). Also my #masterychat educators were/are great. I am so fortunate to be part of this group
A2. I need to do better with this. My Ss did love using Seesaw this year to share their work with their families. They were allowed to choose their best pieces to share. We also tried UDL a few times. We had one that worked really well. The others need to be tweaked #MasteryChat
Showing them what "CAN" be done goes a long way. You're not going to have everyone always on board (though it would be nice), but you can control what you can control. #MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
I worked closely with @aprylthompson this year. We went to @IMSEOG training together in the fall. We learned so much and worked to implement it with our students. It was great. #MasteryChat
A3 @Malone_25@brittneyburge23 Dr .E, built a PLC program to provide near eal time access to studnt information to better inform instruction and give students a voice beyond just number Data #masterychat
A3: I worked closely with my principal this year to support the vision of the school, and to earn STEM certification through application and school visit. We're also implementing a #PBL model, so we worked closely through that, too. #MasteryChat
A3: Building partnerships is key. I was able to work with a great team - another self-contained teacher, counselors, psychologists, administrators, and content area teachers to support students academically, socially, and vocationally. Planning is still ongoing. #masterychat
A3) My fellow SPED teacher, who also teaches the same grades, we modeled our classes after each other, as well as provided each other places for behaviors. #masterychat
A3: I work closely with school psych and SW to support Ss and families with Maslow needs so they can get to Blooms. Also supported K teachers this year with some significant behavioral issues. It takes a team. #MasteryChat
A3)cont. I also enjoyed teaming up with other grade levels this year and planning projects that allowed Ss to lead and work together @MrsOrellana4@JodiJjohnson#MasteryChat
A3: Not a specific who, but working closely with Ss parents to let them know what is happening in the classroom and how they can help their Ss has helped my students grow and learn not only in the classroom but at home as well
A3: I always run ideas past my best friend who is an IC to see if there is something Iโm not considering or a blind spot that I may have. We are constantly talking about how to improve classrooms and teaching strategies. #masterychat
A3 This may have to be a desciption of a polygamous wedding! @RaeHughart@jeffgargas and @chadostrowski have changed my world as an educator! I have never met a group of people that pushed me to grow more than these three! #masterychat
A3- I work a lot with first year Ts. When you hire a first year teacher, youโre investing in the culture of your building. You have to listen, guide, and provide them an opportunity to grow and show off what they can do. #MasteryChat
A3. I also have the opportunity to help out in the library. Working with the Ss on various projects, technology, reading materials, #booksnaps, coding, pixels, littlebits, etc. #masterychat
A3 @techiesuzie has been such a godsend. Not only is she my rock when things get tough, but she is also my sounding board and inspiration when I want to try something new! Together we have brought more tech into the classroom for meaningful, transferable learning #MasteryChat
A3: I am over math intervention in our school. I worked with Ts to determine student needs along with working on skills that they were missing during intervention time in regular class. #masterychat
A3 - there are four Ts on my floor. We collaborated on Natural Disaster project this winter. Lots of crossover with writing in different contexts; designing from a historical model then to a modern model and tech from current to innovative early warning systems #Masterychat
A3) Cohort of Ts dedicated to working with Ss with intensive behavioral needs- our focus was on building classrooms that foster #sel, allow for mistakes and change the perception of behavior in the building #masterychat
A3. Had great connections with @RaeHughart and @TaraMartinEDU - hope to continue the friendship for years to comeโค๏ธ. Also ALL my twittwr peeps who helped us accomplish Mystery Skyping with ALL 50 states and more;) โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ #masterychat
A3: First I worked with the Ss to incorporate student choice. Afterward, I
worked with staff within the building, with the program in the same building as ours, and even individuals who worked throughout the district to help the Ss succeed. #MasteryChat
A3: The teams I am a part of at school all work closely together to ensure that the students are receiving quality, rigorous work. @MelAlterSmith and I aren't on a grade level team, but she and I collaborated and had terrific discussions on poetry collections. #masterychat
A3 This may have to be a desciption of a polygamous wedding! @RaeHughart@jeffgargas and @chadostrowski have changed my world as an educator! I have never met a group of people that pushed me to grow more than these three! #masterychat
#MasteryChat A3. A new colleague joined in and we were able to collaborate on many lessons , assessments , sharing and bouncing off ideas ....very collaborative
I LOVE this idea! If you need any help in the planning, I'd love to help! Community connections are my jam! Love your goals! You ROCK! #LimitlessSchool#masterychat
A3: I'm "married" to many people at work. As the only special education T for K-5 I work closely with Gen. Ed. Ts & my aides to make sure all our ss are successful. We worked together to create lessons, behavior supports, & accommodations for ss. #masterychat#LimitlessSchool
A3. Had great connections with @RaeHughart and @TaraMartinEDU - hope to continue the friendship for years to comeโค๏ธ. Also ALL my twitter peeps who helped us accomplish Mystery Skyping with ALL 50 states and many states we Skyped with more than once;) โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ #masterychat
A3 I worked with @drgatewood to integrate the use of @Flipgrid as part of an online course to conduct online peer-peer evaluations of Academic Research. Together our collaborative efforts resulted in over 34 hours of engaging video responses. #LimitlessSchool#MasteryChat
A3+ We collaborated on best practices. We Skyped. We shared lessons and reflected. We created solutions to problems. Book chats. Book studies... and on and on...
#masterychat
A4: Focusing on positivity, earning STEM certification through our state, allowing Ss to have more voice in their education, working toward a #pbl model... I'm so proud of our school this year & can't wait to see what next year holds! #MasteryChat
A4: Love how many teachers in our district started owning the hashtag this year. Take a scroll through #btsdtigers to see students learning and having fun at all levels. #masterychat
A4 - I wanted to give students the ability to publish their own creative works, so I started a literary journal at my school called the Fledgling and we just physically published our first copy. It was an amazing experience. #MasteryChat
A4 We moved toward an Exhibition of Learning for all students who were "exempt" from exams and we gave our seniors WINGS with an internship program #MasteryChat
A4: our biggest obstacle was our transition with adding so many new teachers and 2/3 of our students. The fact that we felt like such a family was definitely something to be proud of. #masterychat
A4: Even though PreK didn't participate, the 1st-6th students had "houses." They met with an adult in the building in multi-age groups of 12-15. #MasteryChat
A4: I'm proud of @CaldwellElemen for being so relentless in loving all our kids, despite a new principal, new teachers, hurricane, pressure of being a D school and constant changes. We kept loving our students day in and day out. #MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
We have been working with @FrankMcKayNC and @RTI_EdWork to implement driving questions and inquiry. A lot of their stuff is from @BIEpbl - so we pull from there as well. It's a whole shift in mindset, and many have jumped right onboard this year! #MasteryChat
In reply to
@TechieTeachOtt, @FrankMcKayNC, @RTI_EdWork, @BIEpbl
A4- so many things, raising money for Ss and families facing medical costs, Senior Class donating to community groups, 11th grade ELA Ss writing books & reading them to 2nd graders, 1st ever Senior Walk, so much good stuff!! #masterychat
HS, but I've presented on it to a couple different groups, so I've curated some great resources at all levels. What grade level do you work with? #masterychat
In reply to
@diane_mackinnon, @gcouros, @JoyKirr, @Mr_Yates_Class
A4: So many things: awards each quarter, spaghetti dinner for community members, clothing drives...each recognized the strongest abilities and the greatest needs:.#masterychat
A3 This year I was in a new grade level, so I spent a lot of time learning the curriculum and taking a ton of PD. I spent most of my time working on SEL issues with @NicholeAmaral Trying out new interventions and meeting kids where they are #masterychat
YES! Me too! Most rewarding! Love preservice Ts too! Connections between universities and our classrooms must evolove! @SFecich makes that happen at Grove City College! Want to be a virtual co-op? #MasteryChat#Nan3EDU
A4: Our school had the opportunity to chat with the international space station. It was a great experience, and I was proud of our school in that moment due to seeing everything come together. #masterychat
A4 Our Student of the Month/Student of the year program @HMSIndians Told our stiry, clebrated our Ss, and energized our Ts to find the good! #masterychat
A4: We used our READ Act money to send our K-3 (8Ts) along with our other SPED T to the @IMSEOG training. We needed to make a change with how we were teaching CORE and providing intervention. #MasteryChat
A4: All us Instructional Coaches were trained in @jpkillion Coaching Academy and it made all the difference! We became clear on the roles of a coach and how to facilitate more meaningful PLCs. It was super empowering! #MasteryChat
A4: We were chosen as a Reward School in Tennessee this past year. It just shows how awesome we work together in helping Ss achieve their goals. #masterychat
A4: My Ss did several unique PBL lessons that they used as community service projects. They worked well together and were excited to make the money for a good cause. They made $115-150 for various projects and even had the chance to deliver the money for some. #MasteryChat
A3: As a principal I think Iโm โmarriedโ to everyone. All staff members, from custodian to principal, have a role in student achievement. The persons that Iโm closer are my VP, counselor, instructional specialist, librarian and reading interventionist. #MasteryChat
Having that difficult conversation is so important. It makes staff feel heard and valued, which builds trust and leads to buy in! I know I'm a lot more receptive when this happens and if I understand the "why". #MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
When staff โdig their heelsโ in itโs usually a sign that something is outside of their comfort zone. Sometimes having the discussion and finding out about what that is can help break down the wall a bit #masterychat
I am super proud of the @khanacademy challenge we involved all of our elementary schools in this year. It was so great to see the 3rd through 5th garders pushing themselves in math an the amazing support of all of their teachers, also! #masterychat
A4: we changed the perception of our school and program. I feel that people have a new found appreciation for what our program has to offer and its positive impact for the district. We have a huge number of students wanting to join and be part of @PickAltSchool#masterychat
Not as easy as the secondary levels, but there are some great ideas to get started. Maybe do a mini-project as a whole class? Help them get used to the process. #masterychat
In reply to
@diane_mackinnon, @gcouros, @JoyKirr, @Mr_Yates_Class
A4: I am very proud of the way our school nd our district pulled together to help those affected by Hurricane Harvey last August. It disrupted our school year, but it didn't disrupt our spirit!! #MasteryChat
A4) Being a part of a district that values the voice of their employees and places emphasis on how Adult Behaviors IMPACT Student Behaviors #masterychat
A4: Our Tiger (student) of the month was great. Got to recognize some kids beyond just academics. One kid said "I think you have the wrong Student". When we said we were sure we didn't, he started to tear up. #MasteryChat
#masterychat
A3: my growing PLN! I allowed this fab crew into my life & school. Took huge amounts of energy, excitement & ideas away & maybe shared an idea or thought along the way. & @OldsJen & @hmccutcheon9 for mindfulness & a project to support some students a long way away!
Yes! Just like when we provide our students with the supporrt they need to be succesful and then see them thrive, sometimes our teachers need that bit of extra support to buy in! #masterychat
When staff โdig their heelsโ in itโs usually a sign that something is outside of their comfort zone. Sometimes having the discussion and finding out about what that is can help break down the wall a bit #masterychat
A3 @Snow13Amie our IF really jumped in this year to fufill various roles and help implement all of our big and new ideas. From planning, to being an emce, dressing up, and leading assemblies she is hands down one of a kind #LimitlessSchool#MasteryChat
A5: I learned SnapChat this year from my Ss! HA! This led me to show the #tlap book study group how to create #booksnaps and I'm loving watching them go! Some are even chatting about how to incorporate them next year in class - WIN! #MasteryChat
A5: I have learned from my Ss to never give up. I have had a couple of Ss really push to go further this year, it hasn't been easy, but they did it and grew their brains so much. So proud of them. #MasteryChat
A4: We gave students the ability to choose to walk to the courtyard to protest gun violence in schools or to stay in class and listen to instruction. It was handled in a way that allowed the students make mature choices without worry of negative consequences. #masterychat
A5: As a student teacher, I learned a lot about myself. I am always looking for ways to improve and to build upon the skills that I have. My Ss changed me for the better and helped me realize the immense difference a teacher can have. #masterychat
A We held a #Texas Day BBQ and auction and donated all proceeds to a partner school in Texas after the Hurricane! What an amazing turnout, opportunity, connection. Thanks to our Rockstar Guidance team @brittainw77 and @mariadbobo#masterychat
A4 The continued integration of new and emerging technologies for learning both faculty and the student body used as resources to exploit their potential and enhance the learning experience. Proud to be a Governor! #apsude#MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
A5: I learned from my deaf population at my school that communication is not about the words you say, but the emotion you convey. It is amazing what you can understand without a word being said. #MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
A4. We raised money for the Down Syndrome Society! This is very near and dear to my โค๏ธ because of my little girl! Kids brought in money and top kid in each class threw a pie in my face;). FUN!!! #MasteryChat
A4- This year, @TwillmanElem held a Laundry and Literacy event for our families. We handed out quarters and books at a local laundromat to connect with families. #MasteryChat
When you don't get to check your twitter noticifications all day & you're late to the chat ๐Sorry! Maureen, Instructional Supervisor from PA/NJ checking in...
A4: We formed a district equity committee this year that began with a community conversation #MasteryChat
A5. They can do more than I asked of them. I should have pushed harder. Thats the band director coming out. It also means next years groups will be pushed too hard. #MasteryChat
A5: I learned that they are WAY more capable than I have ever given them credit for in the past! Each one has taught me how cool and different they are than their peers! #masterychat
A5: How to play fortnite? Biggest takeaway has probably been that when a student is really acting out, sometimes you just need to have a heart to heart in the hall to listen instead of shout. #masterychat
A2:This year my group focused on what it means to be a Leader in their own Learning experiences.We practiced staring the foundations of Autonomous Learner Model,individual projects,meeting individual goals,& being accountable-great Leadership skills!#MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
A4: Ss had a voice at the Round Table with our incredible Superintendent @Vikings_Super This spoke volumes to each of them about how they not only have a voice BUT IT MATTERS! #VikingPride#Nan3EDU#MasteryChat
A5: I'm in awe of many of their coding skills. More remarkable = Most were self-taught? Don't gell me this generation is lazy. Maybe class is boring. #masterychat
#MasteryChat Definitely to ask for feedback from them so my lessons were more purposeful and relevant to them. Giving them a voice means stronger experiences and deeper growth
A5- something new every day. I wouldnโt have made it in a new bldg without my wonderful Ss. They taught me a new bell schedule, a new LMS, a new everything. They also taught me to be myself! #masterychat
A5: I had applied for a job that would have taken me out of the classroom. Some Ss found out that I did not get the job. They high-fived me. I said, "Thanks?" They said they didn't want me to go. I learned I was loved. #masterychat
A5: When students move on to different schools but take the time to email or come back and visit, it always re-teaches me how much of an impression you leave on young people. #masterychat
A5: I learned from my students how much building relationships matter. I had way fewer classroom management issues than others on my team. #masterychat
A5: I learned that I was not as well versed in popular music as I thought. I also learned that TV shows from the 1990s are still watched and enjoyed. Ss attempted to teach me how to play Yu-Gi-Oh! cards - I lost epically. #masterychat
#MasteryChat A5 the more you let the Ss take ownership in their learning the more passionate they become about succeeding. This is my flowchart on how I build relationships with my Ss.
A5: I learned that they do listen to you. They care and they want to do better, they may not show it, but you have to build that relationship to get there. Oh and I also learned how to do the โMilly Rockโ #masterychat
That's incredible! How many Ss do you have and how are Ts facilitating these? All after school? We have an abnormally large amount for our small number of Ss and they want more! I want to make it happen, but worry about logistics. #MasteryChat
A5 - So many things. Shouldn't every day be an opportunity to learn from your students? With that said, one student did a great website on Women's Rights in the Middle East and it was jaw dropping. She used Google Tour Builder. #MasteryChathttps://t.co/zGbHolQAJW
#MasteryChat
A4: @HerkimerCSD took so many initiatives to be kind, to care for our sโs during holidays & everyday. They are fed, dressed, loved & then taught in a school where artistry & passion are alive & well in the hallways & classroomsSo many things to choose from!
A5 - perseverance. One of my #alted Ss lost two family members in 72 hours (1 unexpectedly). Lots thought sheโd check out. She took a week, came back and amazed everyone including herself. She found new focus and purpose even in really bad circumstances #MasteryChat
A5 I learned that all Teachers, like their learners, are different and respond to their unique learning preferences and professional needs. Thus the importance of personalized #PD that is engaging and tailored to meet those needs. #MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
A5: Wow! Where do I start? I learned that student voice is so important and that if you take the time to listen and really get to know your kids, this makes all the difference in the world. #MasteryChat
A4: The love that Ts and Staff show by their generosity, patience, caring and support to Ss and one another. Itโs been extra evident this year. It gets me every time. #proudprincipal#MasteryChat
#masterychat A5. My students teach me a lot each year.This year I understood they don't need only content from me but skills and had holding,they needed to be heard,they needed to be told I AM THERE. I learnt you give love you get much much more from them. We are the takers then
A5 That it's tough going through a school year when you feel like no one cares about you...learned that you can reach every student everyday #MasteryChat
A5: I learned from my Ss every day! They have broken down barriers and have shown me that the only cap on their learning is the one we preset with a grade level! They blew the roof off of GROWTH! #growthmindset#IMMOOC#LittleVikingEDU#NAN3EDU#MasteryChat
A5 My students taught me resilience. This was a hard year for them with some changes in programming. But they found moments of insight, clarity, peace, and joy in the process. So proud of them! #masterychat
My 3rd grader came home and asked if I knew how to floss... I thought she meant - dental floss... she did not. So I showed her that I DID in fact, know how to floss... she forgets I'm at a middle school sometimes. Flossing is a gateway to Ss learning. #MasteryChat
A5- I taught middle school for 8 years, and I was a first-year instructional coach at an elementary school this year. 3 words- kindergarten lunch duty! #masterychat
A5: I continue to learn the latest tech trends from them; also that the more ownership you give them over learning, the more successfully they will be as learners #MasteryChat
A5: I learned that students are good at creating ways to use technology and other resources to show mastery. I also learned that students really like to be a part of the creative process, and that it is good for them. #masterychat
A5. Ss are doing and learning technology faster than some of the teachers in the school with their own devices! We must teach them proper digital responsibilities with these devices! #masterychat
A5: How to floss! Lol, but seriously how to not take myself so seriously, how to handle failure, to be more patient, to love people through the bad days, and that while it may not solve everything a hug always helps. #MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
A5) I learned that even though you think they arenโt listening they know more than you will realize and they will show you when the time is right. I had Ss stand up for one another, support each other, and root for each other when they needed it the most #MasteryChat
A6: I love the great people in here - this is my first #MasteryChat but I'd heard quite a bit about it and wanted to check it out! So much awesome around one hashtag!
A5: I learned that they cannot only handle choice in the classroom (flexible seating, choice boards) but it makes them more engaged, responsible, and self motived. #masterychat
A5: Oh, I've learned so much from my #students. Their poetry connections to interpretations of the authors' purposes have enlightened me to connect with the world through the lenses of children's delights. Learning from the kids' love for the world is priceless! #MasteryChat โค
A6: I love hearing about other people setting high goals. I am all about setting almost unreachable goals, but it is reassuring to hear I am not the only one. Keep up the good work people!! #masterychat
A6 - Not a SPED teacher but hearing that students are helping to develop their IEPs is such an important and wonderful idea. I work with a lot of SPED students in my English classes and I know it helps when they are invested in their learning. @tmatteson84#MasteryChat
A6: I feel inspired to continue to set high expectations for my Ss. @emilyfranESL inspires me on a daily basis with the work that she is doing, and I know that I will continue to fight the good fight and advocate for my amazing students. #masterychat
Yes! I learned the speed at which one flosses is a direct correlation to the level of coolness one possesses.... https://t.co/lr01dk13xV. HAHAHA #MasteryChat
A6: @adamdovico I learned that I need to learn from all of my student population. You talked about learning from you deaf student population and that is an idea I can use with so many. #masterychat
A6- leadership and growth mindset are continuing to be a focus next year and I got some great leads tonight on making these better next year #MasteryChat
A5 I learned when we made our green screen animation clips we could add them into iMovie and do even more editing and then return it to the original app ๐ค๐#MasteryChat
A6 I have already jotted down some points that I plan on using in the next school year. ๐๐๐ But seriously I learn new things every week on this platform and I appreciate that. #masterychat
A5 I learned that I have a lot more patience than I thought. My Ss had a lot of changes this year because I was hurt . Since I have been back we have struggled with our class community. As a class we are working on self-reg skills and trying new strategies to rebuild #masterychat
A6: Itโs so easy to retreat to our own islands, so itโs inspiring to learn all the ways people do things differently in their classrooms/school. #masterychat
A6: What has inspired me tonight is what usually inspires me in Twitter chats-so many ppl sharing great things that happen in their schools across America and beyond! Educators that care so much about their ss to be learning in their free time online!!! #MasteryChat
A6: being a part of this wonderful #PLN and others, has inspired me becasue we are all going through similar situations & there are so many educators who really care, are willing to help in anyway. The support is phenomenal. I have grown so much these past 6 months. #masterychat
A6: This PLN has inspired me beyond my wildest dreams. I had my second interview today and am waiting to hear back. I am loving this journey I am on, and I am grateful for all of you who support me 110 percent of the way. #masterychat
A6 The opportunity to gather with everyone here to read and learn from their best practices, ideas, triumphs, and failures. Together we #LearnBetter#LimitlessSchool#MasteryChat
A6: I love what @jamesvarlack is bringing tonight, and it's something I've been sayign to co-workers alot lately. Too many kids think that no adults in the building care about them. Many don't think we'll notice if they're absent. What impact can one T have? #masterychat
Absolutely! I have ss share their interests, learning preferences, strengths, areas for improvement and help set goals. It is amazing what even the youngest ss can share and how excited they get! #MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
A6. There are some great things happening in education. I love it when educators think outside the box. You guys make me want to be a better teacher!
#MasteryChat
A6) Next year is a game changer for our dept.- change can be scary- but Iโm going into it with a LIMITLESS mindset and a goal to be on ๐ฅ for Ss all day everyday #masterychat
A3: I work w/an amazing group of women on our Gifted&Talented Team-we have strong "marriage bonds!" Frequent collaboration on bringing enriching curriculum into our programs,accelerating students,& taking them above & beyond their already strong skills is a priority! #MasteryChat
A6 @CoachJonCraig helping others on his campus get connected using Twitter...Goal is to continue to share with Admin as a tool for connecting with each other and getting our District to unblock it #MasteryChat
A6 - @AnibalPachecoIT#personalizedPD idea is one my school has discussed but not committed to yet. I took some time at end of year for my own #personalizedPD and made a huge difference with my last unit. Allowed for more external collaboration too #MasteryChat
A6) I have been reminded that there are so many more educators out there who just want to go above and beyond for their classes and their school. They want to make things better for the Ss and are willing to make ripples of change to do it...Iโm not alone #MasteryChat
A7: My goal is to bring in the community/parents more through game nights run by my game club that meets on Friday afternoons! It's going to be amazing! #MasteryChat
A6) I have been reminded that there are so many more educators out there who just want to go above and beyond for their classes and their school. They want to make things better for the Ss and are willing to make ripples of change to do it...Iโm not alone #MasteryChat
A7: One goal is to be happier. I've been in a rut for so long this year. I'm hopeful I can find a find a way to change it. #MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
A7: Work in building more and better relationships with Ss and Ts. Continue to develop lessons that are S centered and engaging! And have fun with my job! #masterychat
A7: 1 goal is to get every T in the building on Twitter to tweet out 1 thing that happened in their room that day. In order to share with our community and as a way to reflect on the day. #masterychat#Limitlessschool#ParrTeach
A6: As a principal Iโm always looking for new ideas to implement and share with my staff. Some of the best I found them here with fellow educators. Never stop learning. #GoodNewsCallOfTheDay was a hit this year. #MasteryChat
A4: I LOVE that we held another fabulous annual Talent https://t.co/ErNzc69tEY many gifts & talents students get to share and shine w/ in front of their peers! We also film a staff dance video which starts the show! Exemplifies our unity! #MasteryChat#LimitlessLearning
Great to hear that! Kudos to you for doing self-directed learning and understanding your learning needs for the benefit of your learners and other stakeholders at your school #LimitlessSchool#MasteryChat
A7 - Using 20% or Genius Hour more efficiently over the whole year. It was great for the final quarter but I am excited to see how it will work out over the course of an entire year. #MasteryChat
A6 I learned that we are all really dedicated to our students, schools and communities. What other job has you call someone elseโs kids yours other than teaching ๐#MasteryChat
A6: The fact that we are all on this chat in the evening inspires me to push myself to be better on a daily basis. It is truly remarkable, and we have the potential to change the face of education. It will take time, but nothing can get done without small steps. #masterychat
A7: Donโt be afraid to keep trying new things, ensure my students feel heard in the classroom, and stay positive, have fun, and keep smiling!! #MasteryChat
A7: My goal is to continually find ways to increase Ss independence and preparedness for the future. Find resources applicable to their daily lives and incorporate them into the classroom routine. #masterychat
A5: besides flossing and the fortnite dance, my students have taught me to step back and look at the bigger picture-to enjoy each moment and the magic in learning! Their excitement this year has ignited a new passion in me! #limitlessschool#masterychat
A7: We are starting a student-led news channel that will be shown during lunch in the cafeteria. We are excited because our ideas are wide-open. Our goal is to make it awesome! #masterychat
That's all the time we have tonight! Thank you for joining! Best of luck as you solve your culture cube!
Pick up your copy of The Limitless School on Amazon: https://t.co/5EA3p0NAmn#MasteryChat#limitlessschool
A7: Culture cannot be measure, but it can be noticed!
I am going to continue building a culture of love, inclusion, and acceptance for all students
Even if it makes some people uncomfortable ๐๐๐ผ๐๐โจ
#masterychat
A7: We can work with the counseling department on ways to combat an anxious atmosphere and teach stress management techniques for the students. #masterychat
A7: Help teachers move their learning off the back burner through personalized growth plans & encourage more Ts to move students to the center of the instruction by balancing dialogue with monologue. #masterychat
Q4: we had our first PBIS yard sale and raised a large amount of funds. We had some 5th grade boys who helped us move loads and boxes to get set up and didnt complain not once. #MasteryChat
A7) Donโt be afraid to stand up for what you believe in. If you want to do something go for it and ignore the naysayers. Donโt forget to enjoy those moments of happiness and bliss because our job is like a roller coaster. #MasteryChat
A4 I would revise this question to say: What did your school do that made you proud & how did you share the news?
Getting the word about the best moments taking in the classroom, in the science lab, on stage & on the field is a powerful way way to build community. #MasteryChat
A7 My goal is to continue learning and to share what I know with other educators. Thus paying it forward and paving the way for our learners to replace me in the future. #LifelongLearner#LimitlessSchool#MasteryChat
A5: I learned that Ss will always surprise me with their perseverance,INVINCIBLE GRIT, humility,adaptability,consideration, & need to be guided & pushed to their limits...when they see they accomplished so much more than they thought I feel I have done my job well! #masterychat
@CoachJonCraig helped me get Twitter set up for our school. By the end of the year I had 2 reluctant Ts sign up. Now to get them Tweeting. We will make it happen. Best of luck to you too. #MasteryChat
In reply to
@jamesvarlack, @CoachJonCraig, @CoachJonCraig
I always start by asking them what they think they are good at. I then move on to what would like to improve at. I've never had a ss be wrong. If they miss something, I simply mention it. Like "How do you feel about writing?" Its basically asking them a bunch of qs. #MasteryChat
Thanks to @adamdovico for moderating and everyone who participated and shared their knowledge tonight. Be safe and have a great Summer! #LimitlessSchool#MasteryChat
GREAT Chat tonight! Thank you #masterychat and all of "YOU" thi is what learning and sharing is all about! Thank you @adamdovico for the topic and the great book. #masterychat
A7 - I have a simple goal this year... K.I.S.S. #keepitscientificallysimple. I was all over the place this year and got a little too complex (like college level). Hard for my #alted Ss to grasp fully. Simplicity means deeper dives for better understanding #masterychat
That's all the time we have tonight! Thank you for joining! Best of luck as you solve your culture cube!
Pick up your copy of The Limitless School on Amazon: https://t.co/5EA3p0NAmn#MasteryChat#limitlessschool
A1: Since there have been many transitions, I would rate it a 7 or 8. There are definitely possibilities for a 9-10 next year with some of the structures and committees that have been established this year. #MasteryChat
A7: Continue to try new things...starting with @thegridmethod. Have loved ending the year trying it out and canโt wait to start the year off next year with it! #masterychat
A6: Message was received loud and clear...Teach with LIMITLESS BOUNDARIES, and your students can see LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES in their learning!
#MasteryChat#LimitlessSchool
A5 : regardless of the bar I set for my S's, they match me then raise it. They teach me everyday how to grow and become better and they are my mini mes. #MasteryChat
