  • MrsSchramp May 17 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1 I hear Ss tell other Ss that my class is "fun" (which I'm glad they still think even though I really push them to think deeply and differently), but I'd be ecstatic if they could see how I tried to integrate truth, beautify, and goodness into my classes, as well #waledchat

  • BethHajder May 17 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A2 I try to implement tech, when it supports the content- not just tech for tech’s sake. That means it takes me a lot longer to plan, but when it all comes together it is so worth it. I also spend a lot of time taking PD. I have to keep learning to keep up with Ss. #waledchat

    A2: They like choices, which is great, but it usually means more prep for me. When I think “do they NEED another choice for this?”, I think of a few random students and whether they’d be happy with the options. Then I usually go find 2 more activities to choose from #waledchat

      Q3: If you students had to describe something they wish you and your class/learning environment would grow in what would they say? #waledchat

    A4- now that the weather is warmming up I'm already brainstorming ways to do more lessons outside per my little's requests. #waledchat

    A4: I’m going to sit down on our teacher work day and map out how I’m starting the year off - rework and reword some things to create a clearer vision for 303. Work through the summer to start the year off with creativity, passion, and creating learning community. #waledchat

  • MrsAsztalos May 17 @ 9:23 PM EDT
    A3/4 need to get better at allowing more time for processing their learning. Hoping that going to blended learning/in-class flip will help with that #waledchat
  • MsJenkins_3rd May 17 @ 9:23 PM EDT
    A4: I would start earlier in the school year with collaboration and technology. #waledchat
  • ToddRisser May 17 @ 9:24 PM EDT
    A4: my own professional development. I need to search for more relevance to their lives even if it means stretching things a bit. Also need to make sure word problems attract their attention #waledchat
  • DramaLitandTech May 17 @ 9:24 PM EDT
    A4: I say every semester that I need to get better at this. I have too much of the “I will be the one to save them” mentality. When other students recognize it, it’s time for me to change because it breaks down our community. #waledchat
  • ShiftParadigm May 17 @ 9:24 PM EDT

    A4. To try new things with inquiry, and having Ss seek different ways to solve, detect, experiment, design, invent, make problems! #waledchat
  • loliveira55 May 17 @ 9:25 PM EDT

  • TeacherWinters May 17 @ 9:26 PM EDT

    Sorry tribe. I need to cut out a bit early. The puppy needs a walk and it feels like something wicked this way comes in the storm front. Need to get the walk in quick. #waledchat
  • Shapiro_WTHS May 17 @ 9:26 PM EDT
    Part of great teaching is the constant ability to be better each year. We can never think that we have it all figured out. Reflection, both from students, colleagues and ourselves is one key to making our practice special. #waledchat
  • 4XSoccermom May 17 @ 9:26 PM EDT
    A4 I am hoping to sit down over the summer and work on meshing the Grid Method with our current pacing. I think that might help, but I'm unsure how to keep Ss moving along. #WaledChat
