A1: Innovation is the life blood of teaching. We can’t let our methods get stale if we want to impact our learners. Innovation is how we model life long learning. It is what separates us from canned instructional learning. It is being a teacher. #HCPSTeach
Innovation is doing something different to improve outcome, so it's all kinds of things
#hcpsteach I use std based grading, genius hour, gamification, lots of mindset stuff, movement, etc, etc, brain based
A2 My goal is to teach them how to set realistic, yet challenging learning goals. I will help, guide, and even trick them into achieving those goals. When they set goals they aim higher and achieve more. #HCPSTeach

Safe environment for both. Teachers allow students to take risk and admin allow teachers to also--not have to worry about scores if every day is not perfect

I’ve become devious with teaching teamwork. I like to put all the extreme micromanaging students together in one group for the last project of the semester. They go nuts at first and learn to work together quickly. It’s cathartic for the other kids to watch. #HCPSTeach
A4 You need to have trust and respect going both ways. You need to be honest and open with feedback, but you need to be careful to frame it to improve confidence rather than undermine their belief In themselves. #HCPSTeach

This is a screen recording I made of my students using existing design to plan their race car for PLTW Robotics. I didn’t have the heart to tell them a worm and wheel gear set is the slowest choice to make. #HCPSTeach
We just finished up the pull toy project and there was a job for everyone in the project including the artistic student who thinks Robotics is too hard. #HCPSTeach

A5 I asked my kids to reclaim@kindness on the internet today. They did me proud and made a bunch of positive message memes and we will be handing them up in the school. #HCPSTeach

Oh, earlier this week I spoke on a panel of educators about #STEM and pop culture at #C2E2 to a packed audience. It was awesome! The people who came inspire me to do cool things. #HCPSTeach
