A1: We need to be sure to create a safe environment for all involved. If they feel safe, they will take risks in their learning. #txed

jodiforeman Mar 2 @ 9:39 PM EST

A1- take away the negativity that goes with "wrong" and make it a learning experience. Male wrong safe. #txed

oJaison Mar 2 @ 9:39 PM EST

A1: Focus on the work. If we're doing the work and putting our best effort in it's important to accept that. #TXed

Bstamm00 Mar 2 @ 9:40 PM EST

A1: we must be very aware of how we respond...ourselves and to others! It will either breed fear or learning opportunity. #txed

A1 I don't really struggle with it #nonconformist #renegade but my Ss, try to model FAIL #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:40 PM EST

A1: #FAIL strategy...First Attempt In Learning. #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:41 PM EST

A1-Need to help develop a #growthmindset where failure is a learning opportunity and not the end. #TXed

oJaison Mar 2 @ 9:41 PM EST

No I think there should be negativity with wrong. It can be negative and still be a learning experience. @jodiforeman #TXed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:41 PM EST

@pwagnerlcisd yes..that was my thought also! #greatminds #TXed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:41 PM EST

@Bstamm00 well said, Brett! #txed

jodiforeman Mar 2 @ 9:41 PM EST

A1- one of my Ss was so scared of being wrong he couldn't finish anything I gave him 4 counters-he had to make 4 mistakes every day. #txed

jodiforeman Mar 2 @ 9:42 PM EST

@oJaison positive negativity, I'll agree too. The fear instilling negativity is hinderance #TXed

Bstamm00 Mar 2 @ 9:43 PM EST

Feel like there needs to be a parent training component to this. P sometimes place the pressure to not fail #txed https://t.co/A5cLJyTL41

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:40 PM EST

A1: #FAIL strategy...First Attempt In Learning. #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:43 PM EST

A1 Try to give examples of famous people that Failed the first time. #TXed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:43 PM EST

A1-It is all about learning. You fall down, you pick yourself back up again. You will make mistakes, but you can still move forward #TXed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:44 PM EST

@oJaison @jodiforeman it is OK to be wrong as long as they are learning and able to explain. Don't let them give up. #txed

jodiforeman Mar 2 @ 9:44 PM EST

@KelleyJAndrews and the second and third and fourth.... #txed

oJaison Mar 2 @ 9:44 PM EST

.@jodiforeman I think you were right on it when you talked about how fear shouldn't hinder action. We need eustress. #TXed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:45 PM EST

@Bstamm00 agree. Don't be a helicopter parent! :P #TXed

Bstamm00 Mar 2 @ 9:45 PM EST

@KelleyJAndrews There are so many great quotes on this. We do an "engage in learning" quote each Friday. We sometimes include failure. #txed

oJaison Mar 2 @ 9:45 PM EST

A1: Interrogate what wrong means in the situation. Make sure people understand the failure in the context of the goals. #TXed

jodiforeman Mar 2 @ 9:45 PM EST

@KelleyJAndrews @Bstamm00 /Have you heard the new term- lawn mower parents? Kids don't get a chance to fail, parents prevent it. #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:46 PM EST

A1 FAIL turns into SAIL! #TXed

TXEDMod - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:46 PM EST

Question 2 is coming up! #TXed

oJaison Mar 2 @ 9:46 PM EST

A1: Also think back over "wins." As a chess player I was taught to go over the games I won, and learned so much. #TXed

Bstamm00 Mar 2 @ 9:46 PM EST

@KelleyJAndrews exactly. Sure be aware, be involved, but know where to stop. #txed

oJaison Mar 2 @ 9:46 PM EST

A1: Emphasize how quantity can be more important than quality in some situations. Make the attempt and ignore the consequences. #TXed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:46 PM EST

@jodiforeman @Bstamm00 no! but I can see it! :/ #TXed

Q2: How can we celebrate things "done right" by ourselves, our Ss, and staff? #TXed

Bstamm00 Mar 2 @ 9:47 PM EST

Is that a reference to not letting them grow? Not sure what to make of that! #txed https://t.co/RwrAvCxVJC

@KelleyJAndrews @Bstamm00 /Have you heard the new term- lawn mower parents? Kids don't get a chance to fail, parents prevent it. #txed

@Bstamm00 Ps go in front of the child and clear the path for them. #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:48 PM EST

@Bstamm00 I know..it's hard. But such an important thing. as a parent and teacher. better off in the long run! #txed teach a man to fish...

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:48 PM EST

A2-First, we got to make the time to celebrate the little things. Small victories can lead to big wins #TXed

jodiforeman Mar 2 @ 9:49 PM EST

A2- tell them. Verbal praise goes a long way. #txed

oJaison Mar 2 @ 9:49 PM EST

A2: We need time for reflection. How are our perceptions of "right" colored by our perceptions of that specific person? #TXed

Bstamm00 Mar 2 @ 9:49 PM EST

Yes, great point! This is absolutely true in the act & process of writing for sure! #txed https://t.co/hRfs4BQ4Zj

oJaison Mar 2 @ 9:46 PM EST

A1: Emphasize how quantity can be more important than quality in some situations. Make the attempt and ignore the consequences. #TXed

@PrincipalOgg yes! build them up. let them see they can do hard things too :) #TXed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:49 PM EST

A2: I have Ts who love to celebrate the end products of major writing with a celebration where they all share. Kids are very excited. #txed

Bstamm00 Mar 2 @ 9:49 PM EST

@jodiforeman Ahhh! I get it! Thanks for clearing the path for me! Haha! #txed

oJaison Mar 2 @ 9:50 PM EST

And written praise! Short thank you notes can be huge. And writing helps me remember as well. #TXed https://t.co/jCoxKpscMH

jodiforeman Mar 2 @ 9:49 PM EST

@PrincipalOgg its amazing how far simple tokens like this go toward positive teacher morale... Im sure Ts love it #Txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:55 PM EST

Great idea I heard at @EdCampNavasota was admin walking thru and leaving comments on classroom door with paint pens. Positive notes. #txed

@KelleyJAndrews You tweeted it while I typed it! #txed #fasterthanme

oJaison Mar 2 @ 9:55 PM EST

A2: Be honest and deliberate with both your praise and criticism. Don't skimp on either if they're needed. #TXed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:55 PM EST

A2-I like using social media to spread the celebration out to the community. #TXed

TXEDMod - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:56 PM EST

Q3: How can we help Ss measure success based on THEIR perspective and not someone else' metric of success? #TXed

jodiforeman Mar 2 @ 9:56 PM EST

I would rather have a note, smile, pat on the back, thank you, good job, etc. over any "prize" for doing well. #connect #txed

Bstamm00 Mar 2 @ 9:56 PM EST

Done this with window markers, too. It's awesome for kids to see their teachers being bragged on! #txed https://t.co/myln0tcSA0

oJaison Mar 2 @ 9:58 PM EST

A3: We have to get better at understanding students' perspectives. That means embracing cultural competency. #TXed
