#RuralEdChat Q1:What are the characteristics of a school culture that celebrates learning?

Joy, laughter, storytelling, and achievement. #ruraledchat

A1 Evidence (student work) posted on walls ... growth mindset ... collaborative groups of Sts and Tchrs #ruraledchat

#RuralEdChat Q1:What are the characteristics of a school culture that celebrates learning?

spiraledu Jan 24 @ 8:44 PM EST

hi #ruraledchat Sue in Alaska, sorry I'm late. School celebrates learners by recognizing achievements in ceremony/ displays

In reply to @robinhosemann

edventures - Moderator Jan 24 @ 8:45 PM EST

#RuralEdChat A1: Schools that celebrate learning recognize all aspects of student growth, and the pursuit of that growth.

robinhosemann - Moderator Jan 24 @ 8:45 PM EST

A1 Celebratory cultures actively seek to honor the process in addition to products...for teachers and learners. #ruraledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jan 24 @ 8:45 PM EST

The sad part is that we should have known this history. #RuralEdChat

#ruraledchat we do an awards ceremony after every quarter & every student gets an award because everyone has something to celebrate

Are you concerned that when everyone gets an award, that none of them become truly special? #RuralEdChat

Do students love coming to school? #ruraledchat

In reply to @edventures, @TG_Neil

TG_Neil - Moderator Jan 24 @ 8:48 PM EST

Celebratory cultures are about more than the trophy. It's about making the motivation intrensic. #RuralEdChat

edventures - Moderator Jan 24 @ 8:48 PM EST

Which then begs the question, how do we define "special"? What is worth recognition? #RuralEdChat

In reply to @TG_Neil, @spiraledu

nataleestotz - Moderator Jan 24 @ 8:48 PM EST

Was going to define it by what it isn't, but want to stay positive. Too much experience with a culture that doesn't celebrate. #RuralEdChat

SideJobs4Tchers Jan 24 @ 8:49 PM EST

@spiraled Should everyone get a reward? #ruraledchat

In reply to @edventures, @TG_Neil, @spiraled

spiraledu Jan 24 @ 8:49 PM EST

no because they are all different achieverments: math, reading/writing, sports, arts, citizenship #ruraledchat all growing together

In reply to @TG_Neil

robinhosemann - Moderator Jan 24 @ 8:50 PM EST

& I think it's neat to use these to ask about all kinds of "behind the scenes" & unsung work. #ruraledchat

everyone has made growth in some way. #ruraledchat this is just a way to recognize & showcase in small community
