#NHed In case a focal point is necessary, here are some areas to consider: environment, structure, curriculum, assessment, agency.

#NHed There’s a common phrase used in edu, “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.” Let’s find out which is which.

#NHed Q1: Not everything in education needs a reboot. Even imagineers start from a baseline. So, what in the edu system do we keep?

edventures - Moderator Sep 25 @ 7:10 PM EDT

@GarnerRockstars Aloha Kelly! Welcome to the East Coast! #NHed

#NHed During the Apollo 13 crisis, the team inventoried every piece available to assess their use as a potential solution.

#NHed A1: boards for writing/sketching! Whether chalk, white, digital, some form of large scale written display.

@chel_rice @garthraven Now it's the comforting stench of dry erase markers! Cleaning erasers was fun but killed my breathing. #NHed

@garthraven That would be fun to see examples of. #NHed

EarlySTEAMLit Sep 25 @ 7:20 PM EDT

Hi #nhed Sue from RI...I'd def keep workshop stations for collaboration and differentiation

gallianstone Sep 25 @ 7:21 PM EDT

A2. I want to say standardized anything, but by the same token, you can't teach a group/class without some unifying target/concept #NHed

edventures - Moderator Sep 25 @ 7:22 PM EDT

@EarlySTEAMLit Welcome to #NHed Sue! Where in RI are you from? I spent my summers in Jamestown.

musiccargirl14 Sep 25 @ 7:22 PM EDT

EarlySTEAMLit Sep 25 @ 7:22 PM EDT

edventures - Moderator Sep 25 @ 7:22 PM EDT

@garthraven @chel_rice My fav is using it on sidewalks! #NHed https://t.co/PfVL4Vs3hC

garthraven Sep 25 @ 7:20 PM EDT

@edventures @chel_rice Still using chalk, shading is great fun, much better than dry erase. Messy, noisy, but cheap and it works!

A2 Get rid of rows of desks, start on mon & test on Friday, redundant worksheets, textbooks #NHed

EarlySTEAMLit Sep 25 @ 7:25 PM EDT

@edventures getting rid of age-based grade levels IS MY DREAM! #nhed

musiccargirl14 Sep 25 @ 7:25 PM EDT

@gallianstone students loose choice in classes forced to focus mostly on core academics (less arts)and they have major attention probs #NHed

briley8557 Sep 25 @ 7:25 PM EDT

A2 #nhed clearly we need to cut much out of our day and provide Ss more opportunities to focus on skills they'll need in the future.

garthraven Sep 25 @ 7:25 PM EDT

#NHed A2: Get outdoors whenever possible, even for lectures, even just outside the school doorstep.

chel_rice Sep 25 @ 7:27 PM EDT

@edventures | integrated experience is innovative. What would a day of that look like? #nhed #unidsm

edventures - Moderator Sep 25 @ 7:27 PM EDT

@garthraven Yes please! I love outdoor experiences, esp when they provide context for the content my Ss learn. #NHed

edventures - Moderator Sep 25 @ 7:28 PM EDT

@csousanh Welcome back Chris, we've missed you! #NHed

gallianstone Sep 25 @ 7:28 PM EDT

@EarlySTEAMLit @edventures I worry what #inclusion will look like if we do that. Esp for Ss with complex learning needs. #NHed

csousanh Sep 25 @ 7:28 PM EDT

Thanks! I've missed connecting as well. @edventures #nhed

edventures - Moderator Sep 25 @ 7:30 PM EDT

#NHed Q3: Now that we have identified what we keep and what we toss, what new materials do we need to bring on board?

EarlySTEAMLit Sep 25 @ 7:30 PM EDT

@gallianstone @edventures that's why we also need to focus on interest and strengths as we redefine...we all have strengths edu #nhed

csousanh Sep 25 @ 7:30 PM EDT

@gallianstone @EarlySTEAMLit @edventures mix that with competencies adjusted for Ss with ieps, and I think it would be good #nhed

gallianstone Sep 25 @ 7:30 PM EDT

@csousanh @EarlySTEAMLit @edventures which (generally speaking) doesn't work for Ss who need more support. Which is why I worry. #NHed

edventures - Moderator Sep 25 @ 7:30 PM EDT

@gallianstone @EarlySTEAMLit What could it look like? What if grade levels don't work for anyone other than accountants? #NHed

edventures - Moderator Sep 25 @ 7:31 PM EDT

#NHed Q3a: Or how do we retool the things we keep?

edventures - Moderator Sep 25 @ 7:31 PM EDT

@csousanh @gallianstone @EarlySTEAMLit Which I need a better understanding of. Only seen Montessori from the outside. #NHed

csousanh Sep 25 @ 7:31 PM EDT

@gallianstone @EarlySTEAMLit @edventures I have not found that the case w/my exp in the private ed/Montessori world. Just the op #NHed

EarlySTEAMLit Sep 25 @ 7:32 PM EDT

A3: SO many good things going on in classrooms that we need to tap into...more collaboration between Ts #nhed

csousanh Sep 25 @ 7:32 PM EDT

@edventures @gallianstone @EarlySTEAMLit it would have to be adjusted for public education but so many parts of it can be applied #nhed

edventures - Moderator Sep 25 @ 7:32 PM EDT

@gallianstone @csousanh @EarlySTEAMLit In my mind this is an chance for us to develop a system that helps all succeed on their pace. #NHed

gallianstone Sep 25 @ 7:37 PM EDT

garthraven Sep 25 @ 7:37 PM EDT

#NHed A3 cont'd: more flexibility in course length. Some topics need two semesters, some just a week.

edventures - Moderator Sep 25 @ 7:38 PM EDT

@gallianstone @csousanh @EarlySTEAMLit Exactly! Just because it grew this way doesn't mean we can't prune or graft a better solution. #NHed

edventures - Moderator Sep 25 @ 7:39 PM EDT

@garthraven Indeed! As NH explores competency based learning I am hopeful that we might be able to achieve this! #NHed

csousanh Sep 25 @ 7:39 PM EDT

@garthraven that's why I liked trimesters. Some courses were two some were three. #nhed.

@csousanh #NHed Definitely more flexible, I like trimesters a lot. An option for even shorter but still formal classes would help too.

EarlySTEAMLit Sep 25 @ 7:41 PM EDT

A4: I would ask Ss: "How do you learn best (both in&out of school)? #nhed - Would focus on learning/learner

edventures - Moderator Sep 25 @ 7:42 PM EDT

@garthraven @csousanh At #Interlakes we were talking about what 6-wk competency based experiences might look like. #NHed

gallianstone Sep 25 @ 7:42 PM EDT

A4. We need to explicitly teach self-advocacy. Especially as schools become more trauma-sensitive. Tools all students need! #NHed

EarlySTEAMLit Sep 25 @ 7:42 PM EDT
