Her question of the day idea is one of my favorites (and my kids) I've been doing that instead of morning messages. They love it #txeduchat

ToshMcGaughy Oct 22 @ 9:36 PM EDT

#txeduchat A5: Explaining it to other teachers. Even though it's good pedagogy, it can look scary without context. This is intentional!

MrsGabbertBHE Oct 22 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A5: The unknown of not knowing what Ss will say and do and me not being in total control. #txeduchat

Texaslifeskills Oct 22 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5: Relinquishment of control in the Life Skills classroom needs to be measured. It’s a ...delicate operation 😜#txeduchat

conniehamilton Oct 22 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5: Hardest part of giving control to Ss is staying out of their way. HARD to stay back & watch. Doesn’t “feel” like teaching. #txeduchat

DrHarrisonMcCoy Oct 22 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5: For many teachers it is the risk factor. Sometimes Admin say they are on board with S-control, but they aren't really sure. #txeduchat

PeacockTaiL Oct 22 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5: Structuring the classroom so it's not chaos. Takes time, but can be done. #txeduchat

A5:Giving control! Allowing for the lesson to go a diff way than planned. Helps identify misconceptions and increases relevance. #txeduchat

class_torres Oct 22 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5: You never know what the outcome will be. And that's terrifying. But it can end in some amazing moments. RELINQUISH CONTROL! #txeduchat

I’ll say it WON’T happen organically. It has to be intentionally planned. #txeduchat

#txeduchat Yes! It feels weird at first. Tons of front loading work to make it happen but then Ss are doing all the work.

The thing is, Ts would be far less stressed with a student-controlled, student-centered classroom. Just more fun, too! #txeduchat

A6: Listen to them! Take an interest in what they like and remember it to build relationships. Just like you would with adults. #txeduchat
