    A1: Last month, I watched via GHO my grandbaby trying to open a book by herself. She had pulled out many books. Then, stopped to "read." It was fascinating to see her totally engaged. She moved beyond pulling to the next level of interaction. #learning #process #NYEDChat
  • LRobbTeacher Oct 15 @ 8:07 PM EDT
    A 1 Last week my reading group were so into their self- selected books they were reading in the hall between classes instead of socializing! High engagement due to choice and loving their books! #NYEDChat
  • mrsnortonkinder Oct 15 @ 8:07 PM EDT
    A1 We had a play day. Students brought in toys and games from home. There was SO much learning going on. Math, reading, cooperation, social skills. The list goes on. #NYEDChat

    @LrobbTeacher Love the vision of this Laura - how children connect w books is such a function of them making sense of the world and informing that through story #NYEDChat

    A1: When I quietly observe/listen to my Ss independently read I’m in awe of the way their brains are working/learning new things on their own as they work to apply strategies we’ve working on! It is one of the most rewarding parts of my day!! #NYEDchat
  • cvarsalona - Moderator Oct 15 @ 8:09 PM EDT
    You captured real engagement in this photo Ira. #NYEDChat

    A1 my kids engagement was off the charts! They chose what they wanted to play and the amount of academic skills that fit in was astounding. They didn’t want to stop for anything! I only needed to be there to ask more questions and dig deeper. #NYEDChat
  • Ahpotts Oct 15 @ 8:09 PM EDT
    A1 Watching my son learn to tie his shoes. He was so determined - and persistent - this was not an easy task for him, but he kept at it. #NYEDChat

  • PaulWHankins Oct 15 @ 8:10 PM EDT
    A1: Watching children play we note that we do not need to stand in and front-load the activity. We need only to stand back and let fun do what it does naturally. . .draw, include, sustain, and move forward in a generative manner. Play begets story and loops back. #nyedchat
  • irasocol Oct 15 @ 8:10 PM EDT
    And when kids pick their own reading they share with each other, they retell, they review #NYEDChat

  • MattPorricelli Oct 15 @ 8:10 PM EDT
    A1: We need to design spaces that bring Ss together in ways that meet their learning styles => students learn when they talk, experiment, communicate and tinker => mimicking the teacher is more about compliance than learning #nyedchat

    A2: Typically, students who don’t have a lot of direction and what they need is direction and more guidance from us. I feel this is what they’d want #NYEDChat
  • cvarsalona - Moderator Oct 15 @ 8:11 PM EDT
    A1 Thanks for joining us Paul. I agree with you. As guides on students' journeys we get to dangle the carrot and watch the action flow. #NYEDChat

    When we empower Ss to lead their own learning experiences we are doing more than teaching them independence, we are sending them an underlying message that we believe in them #nyedchat
  • pammoran Oct 15 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    Heard a edu gaming expert say recently that kids won’t play a game that isn’t challenging - learning has to challenge but keep kids motivated - bet learning to tie shoes is like that for kids #NYEDChat #determination

    @MattPorricelli Compliance is not what we want from 21st C students. We want active engagement. #NYEDChat

    @pammoran we sustain this playful and engaged learning by letting kids choose what and how they learn something. If K students can choose a topic and research it, than older students can as well! #NYEDChat

  • cvarsalona - Moderator Oct 15 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A2b Each 1 of kids mentioned had own interests other than school. What if, their passions were tapped early on? HS Jr. who failed Regents refused to work in summer school. I stepped in as admin 2 teach-give options, model & guide. Each child is unique. #NYEDChat
  • cvarsalona - Moderator Oct 15 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A2a Some children voice that they don't like school-it doesn't meet their needs or passions; some fear school because of their learning gaps; some don't feel included. 1 of the home school kids was bullied & refused to go back to class. #NYEDChat

    A2 I find that children want to come to school to see and interact with friends. I believe children who do poorly academically try to have hope that someone will help them. #NYEDChat

  • MattPorricelli Oct 15 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    A2: An air of expectancy starts with creating culturally responsive classrooms => kids don't want to be in classrooms that AREN'T relevant to their lives! #nyedchat

    Yes! MANY adults do! 😠 Nobody knows what they are capable of until he or she tries. Give children opportunities to fail so they can learn from them. They may even exceed their own expectations. #NYEDchat

    A3 children should be learning social skills while playing, learning how to share with each other. As far as walking in the halls how to treat others with respect and smile no matter how bad your day is going #nyedchat
  • PaulWHankins Oct 15 @ 8:23 PM EDT
    Just as true when we talk about the "word play" of poetry. Poetry, like Jell-o, sometimes just needs a kind of mold (or form). But people can be pretty inventive with the ingredients after this. Tomato and celery flavors is probably a product of too little direction. #NYEDChat

    @joycematthews context is everything … and when kids are happy they move far more into their heads as learners than when they are stressed #NYEDChat
    • JoyceMatthews_ Oct 15 @ 8:42 PM EDT
      Q5. Can it be contextual as well? What does it sound like? People asking questions of others using exactly the same words they have used? #NYEDChat

    We;ve tried to capture the power of expanding observation beyond our filters and biases — both allow us to see far less than when we push our thinking to see deeply and learn from others what they see #NYEDChat

    A5 Why is it so difficult to give students autonomy? Perhaps, it is because we were raised in a more regimented system of learning. #NYEDChat

    #NYEDChat A5 I try to enable peer tutoring as much as possible in my room. When kids are teaching their peers, their retention is magnified. It's AWEsome walking around the room and observing the learning. Kids respond to each other in a variety of ways.

    I like to tell them that it's hard for me to let go because I'm afraid they probably know more than I do! ;) (But honestly I think for most teachers it often comes down to "how will I grade this?") #NYEDChat
    In reply to @cvarsalona, @Joe_Mazza
  • cvarsalona - Moderator Oct 15 @ 8:51 PM EDT
    Sometimes students are perplexed by what we offer. If choice is allowed then students can be creative learners in the way they would like to express themselves. #NYEDChat
    In reply to @pammoran, @poly_math_
  • Joe_Mazza Oct 15 @ 8:51 PM EDT
    And also students aren't used to having it. But when it's part of the culture (both for students and for staff) special things happen. It's hard to consider yourself a PBL advocate w/o autonomy as one of your norms #nyedchat

    Kind of sad really how much emphasis we put on traditions that return little of time investment of teachers - test prep, homework, most grading practices, worksheets, cram curriculum standards #NYEDChat

    So much of this convo goes back to knowing your students, being transparent about your goals for them (and yourself), and how you are teaching them to take control of their own learning through collaboration, problem-solving and deep thinking. Doesnt happen overnight #nyedchat
