A1: Teachers need to be flexible, vulnerable, asks willing to collaborate!

mrevansclass May 12 @ 10:08 PM EDT

A1: as @DrBradBuck taught me, hire talent first. You can teach everything else. Can't teach talent. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator May 12 @ 10:09 PM EDT

@mrbadura would that mean open to change all the time?? #ankedchat

alneppl May 12 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A1: When hiring I look for the most reflective person. Reflective people are learners and seek out others. #ankedchat

MrLisekRPSA May 12 @ 10:12 PM EDT

@DRich0696 We don't learn until we see what we're not good at. Ss and Ts. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator May 12 @ 10:13 PM EDT

Q2: We’re building the perfect school tonight - what student and parent characteristics will we need? #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator May 12 @ 10:13 PM EDT

@alneppl Hi Al - you have accumulated a great staff so this Q is made for you! Reflective, huh - good choice. #ankedchat

MrLisekRPSA May 12 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A2: Ss and Ps willing to come learn at anytime (within reason) because a teachable moment arose after normal school hours. #ankedchat

mrevansclass May 12 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A2: no such thing as perfect students so send me what you have. However, nice to have parents willing to engage & be involved #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator May 12 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A2: Perfect students love to learn - they collaborate, persevere, aim high, work hard, and have a high level of integrity. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator May 12 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A2: Parents would provide full support for their child, the staff and the school plus hold their child to high expectations. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator May 12 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A2: Ss are eager to learn, willing to try new things. Ps are supportive & hold Ss accountable as well. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator May 12 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@DRich0696 it's always weird when we tweet the exact same things. #ankedchat

HargensSAM May 12 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A1: teachers who have a growth mindset in putting student achievement first #ankedchat

mrbadura May 12 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A2: I don’t know if I would want all “perfect” Ss and Ps at my school. Must have some diversity, I believe. #ankedchat

mrevansclass May 12 @ 10:17 PM EDT

So difficult keeping up on my phone. Laptop at school:( #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator May 12 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@HargensSAM Welcome to #ankedchat Brandon. Growth mindset is a must in my book too.

NKleinmeyer May 12 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A2: Parents tend to send us the best they have. I want parents who support and students who are open to learning opportunities. #ankedchat

mrevansclass May 12 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@mrbadura what he said... #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator May 12 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@mrbadura keepin' it real! #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator May 12 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@mrevansclass Oh that's a tough one. #ankedchat

alneppl May 12 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A2: no Ss or Ps characteristics needed - let's win them over, gain buyin by our actions. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator May 12 @ 10:20 PM EDT

Q3: What would the physical space look like in the perfect school? #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator May 12 @ 10:20 PM EDT

A3: I'm ready to create an environment that doesn't involve desks - more collaborative spaces. #ankedchat

mrevansclass May 12 @ 10:21 PM EDT

@alneppl exactly. I love the phrase, "They haven't had me yet." But if you're a team, it should be, "They haven't had US yet!" #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator May 12 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A3: Lots of natural light and multiple options for learning stations - desks, tall tables, soft chairs; options to fit all wants. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator May 12 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A3b: Similar to the AGILE workspace in the corporate setting. #ankedchat

MrLisekRPSA May 12 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A3: Murals w/vivid colors, classrooms with retractable walls for cross curricular work, group stations for collaboration. #ankedchat

HargensSAM May 12 @ 10:22 PM EDT

A2: as educators build a relationship and find what motivates them. Growth occurs when these are present #ankedchat

BTDelaney May 12 @ 10:22 PM EDT

A3 I want standing desk! #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator May 12 @ 10:22 PM EDT

@BenMuller1 Good evening Ben! Great to have you! #ankedchat

MrLisekRPSA May 12 @ 10:23 PM EDT

A3.2: There would be spaces outside the classroom setting where students could Sharpen the Saw and create balance. NECESSARY! #ankedchat

mrevansclass May 12 @ 10:24 PM EDT

A3: roomy rooms, flexible seating, teachers get options for class furniture. Budget to support different styles... #ankedchat

@mrbadura I'd go for an actual Starbucks in the perfect school. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator May 12 @ 10:25 PM EDT

If I were a student I would love to learn in a Starbucks environment. #ankedchat https://t.co/bBV2XgTZMH

A3: elem classrooms are more organic, constantly changing configurations. At desks, tables, floor, etc. #ankedchat

jenlynn7788 May 12 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A3: I think having the students tell us what they need is a great place to start #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator May 12 @ 10:26 PM EDT

Yes, yes, and yes please! #ankedchat https://t.co/6eOhKCMUyL

mrbadura May 12 @ 10:29 PM EDT

A4: Teacher created because we gave them the autonomy and trusted them to create something instead of a company. #ankedchat

BarefQQt May 12 @ 10:31 PM EDT

A4: Whatever the curriculum, the delivery needs to involve student voice and choice throughout. #ankedchat

MrLisekRPSA May 12 @ 10:31 PM EDT

A4: Project based, assessed by a rubric with growth in mind. Needs to be cross curricular and reach to solve world issues. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator May 12 @ 10:31 PM EDT

jenlynn7788 May 12 @ 10:37 PM EDT

@mrbadura This might be one of the hardest things to put into practice. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator May 12 @ 10:43 PM EDT

A6: Feeling of family with the staff and Ss #ankedchat

jenlynn7788 May 12 @ 10:44 PM EDT

A6: It would feel warm and inviting, with an overarching theme of trust and family for all stakeholders #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator May 12 @ 10:44 PM EDT

@BarefQQt I'm on the fence... Ss are liking it for the most part - not sure I could do it all year. #ankedchat

MrLisekRPSA May 12 @ 10:44 PM EDT

A6: Clearly defined expectations on how Ss and Ts interact are practiced/enforced. Energy, movement, and creativity encouraged. #ankedchat

mrevansclass May 12 @ 10:45 PM EDT

A6: love seeing "Once a Hawk" stickers. Shows that the culture and buy in stuck w that student. (No offense to the other side) #ankedchat
