Question coming up in 1 minute #inzpired
mjjohnson1216 Aug 12 @ 10:30 PM EDT

Meredith joining #inzpired from Florida. Area of interest = helping learners prepare for their future.

Morning Ritu! #INZPirED
RewardingEdu Aug 12 @ 10:31 PM EDT

Robert from Los Angeles. Curious to know what each person loved about school that is no longer featured in many classrooms today. #INZpirED

@mjjohnson1216 Hi Meredith, welcome to #INZPirED Whay would be your research question be? Please share.
rsehji - Moderator Aug 12 @ 10:32 PM EDT

Q. There is a world of learning out there. What areas need to be explored further? Looking forward to be #INZPirED https://t.co/5VIeT2Ad5M
Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 12 @ 10:33 PM EDT

My area of interest is science learning for English language learners #INZPirED
Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 12 @ 10:33 PM EDT

@RewardingEdu Hi Robert, interesting thought! #INZPirED
rsehji - Moderator Aug 12 @ 10:34 PM EDT
TY Robert,that wud b a great research topic, I agree. Like 1 of my friends said "Going back to the basics" #INZPirED https://t.co/VPfU9x4JVU

@Ajarn_Adam @RewardingEdu Good morning Adam #INZPirED
mjjohnson1216 Aug 12 @ 10:34 PM EDT

Was thinking about grouping of Ss. One gr. level-6 Ts groups all special learners into 2 rooms -another gr. level spreads them out #inzpired
RewardingEdu Aug 12 @ 10:35 PM EDT

A1 I believe a nod to the past while moving progressively forward is a proper balance for educators. I'm tired of the edu pendulum #INZpirED
rsehji - Moderator Aug 12 @ 10:35 PM EDT

@Ajarn_Adam my recent travels to #Korea inspired me to think about cultural foods and its role in society #INZPirED
mjjohnson1216 Aug 12 @ 10:36 PM EDT

Was just reading Hattie's recent research https://t.co/TzbWKvM0XO Great food for thought! #inzpired
rsehji - Moderator Aug 12 @ 10:37 PM EDT

@RewardingEdu I have to agree with you on this. Tired of fads and buzz words. Whats good one day is out next #INZPirED
RewardingEdu Aug 12 @ 10:38 PM EDT

@rsehji I was in Seoul for the 1988 Olympics. So proud of Rio's wonderful display of hospitality! #inzpired

Also wondering about comparing classes that encourage Ss voice compared w/ those who minimize it. #inzpired in terms of achievement
Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 12 @ 10:41 PM EDT

@mjjohnson1216 Thanks for sharing Meredith - this looks interesting! #INZPirED
RewardingEdu Aug 12 @ 10:41 PM EDT

We lack consistency & follow thru in edu. Stop acting like we know so much more than those who came before #INZpirED https://t.co/3BJgzkvxH8

@RewardingEdu I was blown away by the hospitality in Korea.A student's sister showed me around and we were so spoilt at #IFHE2016 #INZPirED

Hello everyone I am Melissa from Katy TX. Hello to my fellow PLN #INZpirED
Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 12 @ 10:43 PM EDT

@rsehji @RewardingEdu Even how to do edu research, let alone what research is to be done, is a somewhat controversial area! #INZPirED
RewardingEdu Aug 12 @ 10:43 PM EDT
I would bet the results would be stark. Even high-performing Ss can give much more if inspired & had voice #INZPirED https://t.co/hqXej2emQw

@mjjohnson1216 How would you set up the study? #INZPirED
ChouinardJahant Aug 12 @ 10:44 PM EDT
#INZpirED @RewardingEdu I loved field trips to great museums and the zoo. Our district has few field trips anymore. https://t.co/3GYnGsdVHm

Agree. Yet I don't believe it is common place at all. Something to reflect on potential for improvement. #inzpired https://t.co/ROf6g8JmXi

@ChouinardJahant Welcome Melissa! #INZPirED
rsehji - Moderator Aug 12 @ 10:45 PM EDT

@mjjohnson1216 I was thinking also abt - Teacher #PD--> effective pedagogy and impact on student outcomes? #INZPirED
Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 12 @ 10:46 PM EDT

@ChouinardJahant @RewardingEdu Learning outside of the classroom is so important! #INZPirED
rsehji - Moderator Aug 12 @ 10:46 PM EDT

@ChouinardJahant Hi Melissa, welcome to #INZPirED
mjjohnson1216 Aug 12 @ 10:46 PM EDT
Seek out administrators who indicate they have classes on both ends of spectrum - use common assessment #inzpired https://t.co/n8mavYaSXm

OMG just the brainwave I mentioned to @djnfacs83 this morning. How we research is something to explore #INZPirED https://t.co/Gg8tOLSDWn

Oh- one of my favorite issues facing ed today! We spend HUGE amount on PD but poorly eval effectiveness. #inzpired https://t.co/iAW2IhUoYy

#INZPirED @rsehji I have been wondering if PD relates to Ss achievement? Do Ts actually practice what PD preaches? https://t.co/rrdMt3dSPM

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 12 @ 10:50 PM EDT

@mjjohnson1216 Nice idea, I wonder how an individual teacher might approach this #INZPirED
rsehji - Moderator Aug 12 @ 10:50 PM EDT

@ChouinardJahant exactly. I guess when PD is lead by intrinsic motivation, the desire is to make a difference & take risks #INZPirED
mjjohnson1216 Aug 12 @ 10:50 PM EDT

Last yr. our SIG school needed to show accountability measures for PD that was offered. Only skimmed the surface. #inzpired
ChouinardJahant Aug 12 @ 10:52 PM EDT

@rsehji #INZPirED I hope so. There is a lot of PD that inspires me and drives my teaching & others that fall short, that are nothing new.
RewardingEdu Aug 12 @ 10:52 PM EDT

I've always believed that PD should be a buffet from which professionals could chose to sample or not. Force feeding not required #INZpirED
rsehji - Moderator Aug 12 @ 10:52 PM EDT

@Ajarn_Adam @mjjohnson1216 good Q. I find i hv lots of topics but it's breaking down to the Qs that is difficult but important #INZPirED
Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 12 @ 10:53 PM EDT

@rsehji @djnfacs83 Looked at the 'paradigm wars' in edu research during my MEd - some very heated arguments from all sides :) #INZPirED
mjjohnson1216 Aug 12 @ 10:54 PM EDT
In elem. we need Ss to move through their learning w/ similar content being mastered so it can spiral #inzpired https://t.co/VWMjzWBcSR

@Ajarn_Adam @djnfacs83 In this era of Social media and global collaboration, how we collect data must change surely #INZPirED
ChouinardJahant Aug 12 @ 10:54 PM EDT

#INZPirED my district, over the summer has some great offerings of PD. CAST and others during the year too. But some mandatory ones... Blah
Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 12 @ 10:55 PM EDT

@ChouinardJahant @RewardingEdu Here's a blog I wrote about it: https://t.co/nsb0Qcw5RP #INZPirED
mjjohnson1216 Aug 12 @ 10:55 PM EDT

If only some master concept/initiative and others don't instruction doesn't spiral equally. #inzpired
RewardingEdu Aug 12 @ 10:56 PM EDT

Bottom line for all PD-If an idea is really so great, just try to stop Ts from using it! Ts always take what makes sense &run w/it #INZpirED
rsehji - Moderator Aug 12 @ 10:56 PM EDT
All PD must have a take away factor instead of just talk. It must empower Ts to walk the talk.#INZPirED https://t.co/sgN1Qdekyw
- triciafreyes Aug 12 @ 10:54 PM EDT
  
  @ChouinardJahant @rsehji maybe when PD is tangible, not full of empty acronyms, it can benefit the classroom/Ss?
mjjohnson1216 Aug 12 @ 10:57 PM EDT

@djnfacs83 What if we became laser focused on assessing what next steps Ts need after PD, share that and measure Ss learning? #inzpired
ChouinardJahant Aug 12 @ 10:57 PM EDT
#INZpirED @rsejhi The amount of data is mind-blowing & the our software to share and correlate is amazing. Drones! https://t.co/VgiScthZuD

@rsehji @djnfacs83 I think you're right, there are many different opportunities now, finding the right focus is important #INZPirED
ChouinardJahant Aug 12 @ 10:58 PM EDT

#INZPirED I just read an awesome article in ID magazine about how drones are safe and are gathering data from remote never before accessed.
RewardingEdu Aug 12 @ 10:58 PM EDT
Sure, similar content/standards but academic freedom as to how to deliver it. #INZpirED https://t.co/j7VyMNZgMz

@Ajarn_Adam Thanks, Adam! I will certainly check it out. #INZPirED
Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Aug 12 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@mjjohnson1216 Yep, maybe as a small scale piece of action research #INZPirED
mjjohnson1216 Aug 12 @ 11:00 PM EDT

@RewardingEdu if we know that specific delivery methods (Hattie's research) demonstrate greater growth thanothers should all use? #inzpired
mjjohnson1216 Aug 12 @ 11:04 PM EDT

Have to get some sleep - thanks for getting me thinking ... #inzpired
RewardingEdu Aug 12 @ 11:04 PM EDT
I don't think so. Creativity is where innovation comes from. Plus differentiation requires multiple means. #INZPirED https://t.co/xKcNOw2feW

  @rsehji @triciafreyes Agreed. Ts want relevance just like Ss do. Do not speak at us but show us what, how, & why things work.
