For us night owls, when the clock strikes 10PM EST, you’ll find us on Twitter over at #edtechafterdark. All are welcome! Our discussions range from our philosophies about EdTech, digital best practices, and simply sharing our stories." --www.edtechafterdark.com

are you kidding!! OMG, such a small world!!!
welcome Rachel, how have you been?
A1 most of the best ideas start small. When they are small they can develop quality results
A1 we are the ones who know what works in the classroom. Together we can amplify that voice
Thanks. Do we have to brush our hair? Lol
everyone needs a little white dress
hi welcome, glad to have you
A1: grassroots movements drive us to change the status quo, without permission, empowering marginalized voices.
hey Chantell! Glad to see you!
Hi ! Rachel, instruc. coach, Bozeman, MT. Joining late!
Charles Cooper N Texas... Mother of dragons, breakers of chains, deliverer of breakfast tacos https://t.co/Su8cPps8wb
good Girl Scout weekend in Orlando...wild
Grassroots is where the energy is. No real learning occurs until you touch the live wire.
A1 Most needs are only noticed at an up close and personal level. May be missed otherwise.
A1:If we're not the creators of the movements than its hard to complain when legislatures do the "creating" for us...
A1: Grassroots movements helps promote change in education. Educators are best advocates.
A1 WE are the ones in the trenches everyday with Ss. "Be the change you wish to see in the world."
every week, that's why we love it so much
A1 If educators are steadily cultivating grassroots & proverbial grass is always greener on other side, doesn't every1 win?
A1: It's powerful to show Ss that big change can start with one person with a big idea.
A1: It has to start w/the Ts on the front lines who know what is happening every day & where change needs to happen.
A1: We create the inspiration for change and growth.
welcome, glad to have you
A1: Grassroots movements stem from passions...passions ignite fires and change
A1 As the front line of edu, Ts know what matters for Ss and colleagues. Grassroots efforts are built from passion!
student voice & needs! 🙌🏼
The endearing movements come from the people most directly affected by difficult challenges...and Ts have plenty!
A1: Teachers are part of the community. Ts should share their knowledge as it relates to current issues.
A1 Everyone should have a voice in his or her own learning. Grassroots movements allow for personalized learning.
A1: Grassroots movements are often intrinsic in nature. It's important, it means something important to us.
A1: Grassroots movements have historically produced innovative ideas that teachers & students tend to take ownership over
A1 - We need to model this type of thinking for Ss. if Ts aren't taking the lead here, someone else will.
A1: You never know how your "small" idea might have a huge impact on someone else's life. ( saved me.)
A1: Grassroots movements are created by innovators, and those in the trenches, who best know what is needed.
Exactly. If Ts don't say anything then they won't know what the problems are.
A1: We are the roots that hold our schools together. Plants are our students. We need to start the movement to support them
Simple answer: a positive mindset and innovative thinking is CONTAGIOUS.
A1: history has shown state/leg doesn't do great at advocating for us. We need to get the word out & tell our own story
and I bet you break all the rules about when and when not to wear it
A1.Never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world. Be the change we seek. https://t.co/crNvZltDjP
Awesome ! https://t.co/O30j3e6Gjc
A1: It's powerful to show Ss that big change can start with one person with a big idea.
A1) grassroots means authentic and authentic stuff tends to stick around & build momentum... It's tailored to our needs
A1: We're a very strong voice together. Ts in Indiana got T. Bennett out of office. Then he went to Florida. Sorry.
Agree! We invest in change we wish to see and can be a part of.
Right on. It's the "shape your world or someone else will" mentality. https://t.co/cV5CcZDMVE
A1 - We need to model this type of thinking for Ss. if Ts aren't taking the lead here, someone else will.
To add ... When we are the creators ... We feel more responsibility for the results! 🙂 https://t.co/g3DMC4JVHy
A1:If we're not the creators of the movements than its hard to complain when legislatures do the "creating" for us...
I must agree. And we are flexible to try something new when something doesn't work...
A1: If it becomes a central role for educ. change can happen, gives staying power.
A1)We are the ones who engage w/young folks daily and can share how their knowledge & action can impact society
A1:Starting a grassroots movement is inherently filled w hope and the knowledge that what we do can & will change the world
A1 (part 2): And if a movement has a huge positive impact on Ts, think about how great it will be for Ss.
A1: Ts are most in touch with needs of Ss. If we wait for legislation, it's too late
Yes! And when the movements are NOT grassroots, they often wither & die (even when they are "good ideas")
Grassroots with Tech. is how we get to the main idea, the main point of things.
we've noticed that a lot when integrating edtech w/ schools. Focus on students 1st
I know. I can't stop giggling
Cue Margaret Mead re: small groups of "thoughtful, committed citizens" being only things that change world.
A1 As teachers, we are always at the grassroots level because that is where our students are.
Absolutely! We have to model iteration. https://t.co/udnl4on3vk
I must agree. And we are flexible to try something new when something doesn't work...
Such a great statement . When there's ownership more progress is made bc it matters to the people it affects.
Times like today needed grassroots movement, we innovate and lose because we don't fit the mold
Very good point Charles! Authentic is the right word to describe "grassroots"
Synergy...symbiosis......collaboration. That's the secret sauce.
Honestly, isn't that all that matters?
Grassroots isn't prescriptive... It comes from local needs... Alternative is a jagged little pill https://t.co/jP38eR2PTv
Grassroota movements remind everyone what really matters. They connect with the masses. Even in failure they are a success
Tom from bassett, late but lurking! Ed Tech Tosa.
Wow, so many awesome answers! Get ready for Q2
Yet another reminder that everything we do is student centered. https://t.co/KDqCMeVA6R
A1 As teachers, we are always at the grassroots level because that is where our students are.
A1) it also allows you to solve an issue specific to your needs. Not rely on something 'cookie cutter'.
That's the most perfect answer... Dang it... I'm jealous!!! https://t.co/yXN0RxSUOX
The endearing movements come from the people most directly affected by difficult challenges...and Ts have plenty!
There's something to be said about living life in beta and trying new things.
because if we don't say anything they'll assume everything is gold and keep moving on.
This right here is the reason Ts must get involved in goals, missions, budget, board mtgs. https://t.co/yx0qHJTw8T
A1: Ts are most in touch with needs of Ss. If we wait for legislation, it's too late
Yes, it's all about making connections !
Absolutely! They must stay at the focus of all we do. https://t.co/uw8IqQeNyN
we've noticed that a lot when integrating edtech w/ schools. Focus on students 1st
Great point... Love it https://t.co/9EHcS6cKY5
A1: Grassroots movements are often intrinsic in nature. It's important, it means something important to us.
Exactly! ... and this is the most fulfilling part of my work. https://t.co/3ZXN6VlHxX
A1 As teachers, we are always at the grassroots level because that is where our students are.
Inspire Ss to start making a diff, model through sharing successes and failures so they know the process
I completely agree! I think they die becuase people do not believe in them, but grassroots eliminates that
yes sir and might I add, an ever-changing society.
Yes!! and when you feel more responsible, you try way harder https://t.co/lAdlpIORGx
To add ... When we are the creators ... We feel more responsibility for the results! 🙂 https://t.co/g3DMC4JVHy
A1:If we're not the creators of the movements than its hard to complain when legislatures do the "creating" for us...
A1 grassroots is sustainable & grows from the Ts, you get better fidelity to the program. hard 2 swallow forced programs
I agree. We have to be advocates for our Ss! https://t.co/lsNEuKMI2S
Sometimes you just have to ask for forgiveness instead of permission when it's what's best for Ss.
Love the thought of living life in beta. https://t.co/RvRkesPmYu
There's something to be said about living life in beta and trying new things.
A2 I use the power of 10 to help school raise money to purchase 3D printers at little cost to the school
holistically. Voice is popular, needs, learning, accessibility etc.
welcome Kevin awesome to see you again
A1 Grassroots allow for personalized learning and a chance to build a small change that can grow -
Nice! Could you please elaborate on The Power of 10? https://t.co/g7KNSQrfJc
A2 I use the power of 10 to help school raise money to purchase 3D printers at little cost to the school
A2: help schools embrace mobile technology & empower student learning
I'm inclined to re-cast: maybe still prescriptive. Just more targeted, rather than off label or misdiagnosed.
Love that visual and it's so true! https://t.co/ejnyS66TGG
A1: We are the roots that hold our schools together. Plants are our students. We need to start the movement to support them
A2: Seeing with Ts sharing stories was what prompted me to try choice seating and get rid of my teacher desk
Well said! Parents, too. https://t.co/Y48HSzelMM
A1 As teachers, we are always at the grassroots level because that is where our students are.

Great example, love this movement, there's something to be said for when something feels right, https://t.co/qs1U1vxvmw
A2: Seeing with Ts sharing stories was what prompted me to try choice seating and get rid of my teacher desk
The opt out movement seems be growing. Interesting to see this movement progress and to see who is leading this message

It's tough, from novice to veteran Ts. It forces you to change, even as an admin! So against the ED. grain.
A2 recently introduced to the via By far one of the most practical aspects of my higher ed.
is very much a grassroots movement, 3 guys from rural Florida, passionate about teaching and learning committed to growth

seeing more Ts ditch their offices in the name of repurposing them for studios, study space etc. https://t.co/sUOjhKD8Rv
A2: Seeing with Ts sharing stories was what prompted me to try choice seating and get rid of my teacher desk
A2: I've seen take root and begin to grow into something meaningful and powerful for educators & Ss
A2: Finding a way to cut down standardized testing would benefit Ss everywhere!
A2 Hacking assessment & tugging towards gradelessness via , among others. Foundation shaking stuff.
A1. One person can make a difference, sometimes we need to be that person for our Ss and families.
Brilliant! https://t.co/Z8Odwj8rMB
use to ask each family 2 donate $10 to buy a printer. It proves a little $ can go a long way
The recognized collective consciousness of needing to change has been huge.
A2: & 20%time really got me outside of the box (that I don't stay in very often to begin with)
Love that Ts brought it to the district. That is the true power of grassroots. https://t.co/QRMuIOIN1s

and bravo for ParentCamps.
Yes, Marzano material has been very important in that.
PBL, the fuel for anything. Giving the bouton to the students and cheerleading
A2: Making time for science - even in the grades it's not tested. Ss read, write, measure, etc. All good skills.
Tell us more about what this means I'm intrigued! https://t.co/jlzmf52Lre
A2: Reflective practice. More and more teachers and admins are building this into their routines.
Love the fb group teachers throwing out grades! https://t.co/KbSdVjNKPH
A2 Hacking assessment & tugging towards gradelessness via , among others. Foundation shaking stuff.
Based on Google's 20% time. Ss choose passion 2 pursue. Certain structures in place, but all student-driven!
A2: Edcamps have been a great movement I've seen popping up everywhere lately.
grants are too slow. School sys won't get you the right thing. Empower the parents
Ohhhh the beautiful power of a hashtag! same thing happened with my Ss creating their own! https://t.co/FtGpPgKexF
started as a grassroots experiment from - it's expanded 2 blog, PD, and more!
Yes! and students! https://t.co/Y2og3BZMrB
A2: Reflective practice. More and more teachers and admins are building this into their routines.
A3: right now we need to encourage Ts to be flexible & try new things. We know school is broken but scared to change it
Agreed. Grants = ridiculous. Glacial pace, like edu. :) great alternative
Aw Shucks. Couldn't have even imagine me here w/ out you two idiots showing me the light😂 https://t.co/zmwwJXTDIA
started as a grassroots experiment from - it's expanded 2 blog, PD, and more!
I am serious in that one. Paper is the based Medium for ideation. Kids don't know how to fold, cut or tape
Love methods. I have always incorp. in my rm with gr8 success. https://t.co/dt8pbVLzAE
Yes, Marzano material has been very important in that.
useful teacher PD is a deep need..we need time to create planes before we fly them
so glad parents are a part!
A3: Student engagement. With focus on assessment we were losing them.
getting rid of desks brought a lot of changes with it. I wouldn't go back by choice.
Becoming a Reflective Teacher work has been wonderful for our staff. It upped our game.
A3. Liberation from standardized testing & the data obsessed culture of public ed. let. it. go. https://t.co/V2vmYjhPtB
YES! is an excellent movement!
A2: is in it's infant stages.
A3: effective PD for Ts with immediate application.
and connecting it to other content areas. PBL is awesome for that in my opinion.
Couldn't agree more. They are super slow.
Yes, but now we have to move to action !
The need to address student apathy & lack of motivation, & how to get students involved in their futures.
Any favorite out there? I agree with the EdCamps comments! https://t.co/rUL5FVUnHO
A2: I've seen take root and begin to grow into something meaningful and powerful for educators & Ss
Aha! Great point! https://t.co/DV6zK7ZUnr
I am serious in that one. Paper is the based Medium for ideation. Kids don't know how to fold, cut or tape
A3 next thing I want to attack is nutrition. Good food=good brains. Not sure how yet
A2 Can someone make a list of all these grassroots movements? I need to do some research ASAP! https://t.co/4Kg4LnfGYY
I couldn't agree more! https://t.co/PctLEHQWEy
grants are too slow. School sys won't get you the right thing. Empower the parents
A3 There is a need to work with what is abundantly available-funding is low, so creativity *must* be high. It's hard work.
A3: There's a need for a more effective, individualized approach to PD...Ts are Ss too...differences in learning styles
A2: as viable alternative to Twitter chats is a grassroots effort I'm spearheading.
A3: Need for authentic and engaging learning experiences for students
I think has been an inspiration w/ that movement. Love his work.
I have the kids "tweet" on an index card something about their day. Always interesting to read
I would argue we need data to drive decisions. Very few know how to interpret data & adjust accordingly.
any designated "messy" space? Not just for earliest grades. Mess breeds creativity.
A3: We are working on studying personalized learning. I'm not sure what it's going to look like yet.
It would take something massive to get me to go back to desks!
Totally agree ! It has chaged how I see prof. dev & prof. learning https://t.co/Rx7H7SedQT
A2: I think Twitter chat start off as grass roots movements.
The need for highly qualified educators. We are losing teachers to the profession.
A3: The need for speed. JK. Great need for parent education in terms of tech in our district. Can't leave them out
A3 PBL need stemmed from lack of student choice and interest in current model-result is slowly reengaging kids n2 school
Twitter chats are my personal favorite...collaborative, quick, variety of topics
A3: Edcamps, personalized PD, etc. have come from lack of funding. Ts will find ways to learn!
So true...shortages everywhere. How do we increase retention? TBH, I've considered other things...
A3 Twitter for PLN growth and PD. Starting district Twitter chat this week!
A3: The need to change the education culture, from a test taking culture to an idea that fosters innovation and new ideas
Favorite ? I do believe I'm partaking & participating right now...
Sad but true... https://t.co/MfOnSAEkig
The need for highly qualified educators. We are losing teachers to the profession.
A3 Lack of parent buy-in. There are factors that just build a huge wall between school and home. Gotta break it down.
systems need to stick with a system long enough to measure its effectiveness
Parents are part of grant proposals AND the foundation is a comminity effort as well.
well stay away from any ledges. Q4 is going to blow your mind
A3: Would love to see a six sigma like, kind of data look w/ reflective practice.
A3:A need to rethink the factory model of education in the name of KNOWING what's best for our kids https://t.co/Fsutv2sluP
both love/am saddened by the phrasing of this. But it's true. The profession is driving some away. https://t.co/2G1mzP7t6l
The need for highly qualified educators. We are losing teachers to the profession.
A3: Another need is the fast approaching future. Changing at rapid speed. We need to keep our Ss up to date.
With you on that just over obsession with it & major decisions focusing on standardized test data https://t.co/B60RptIQCt
I would argue we need data to drive decisions. Very few know how to interpret data & adjust accordingly.
very open-ended idea, it can take several different forms
Yes! We will persevere. https://t.co/fDNlDDLM56
A3: Edcamps, personalized PD, etc. have come from lack of funding. Ts will find ways to learn!
A3 Either an intervention mdoel that's more consistently effective when learners struggle, or some other lens entirely.
no but now I want to know
A3- we needed a way to unite, not as a means to threaten but to be collegial and collaborative too many Ts on islands
Same here, great feeling to have !
Just joining now..great tweets. A3 We need a grassroots movement in my district to embrace social media, not fear it
Yes-there are many indicators of success, not just one set of scores.
💪🏽 Chats bring SO many people together. No hierarchy. Everyone benefits. They're life-changers. https://t.co/6RPPxjSJNo
Hard to answer as a life-long passionate learner ...But Twitter chats seem 2B grassroots explosion https://t.co/ZsgPGi4W3p
A3 (cont'd) There also needs to be more dispelling of the myth that "if we don't test it, it can't be measured." Baloney.
I have noooo clue! I should probably take your classes!
As a teacher who uses a lot of tech, I want to balance the use of technology w/ face to face interaction.
Useful & appropriate & relationship based PD is crucial & horribly absent-Follow up/coaching needed https://t.co/Uiw21AOWsc
A3: Kids need the opportunity to innovate & extend knowledge to real world applications. PBL & Genius Hour to the rescue!
hopefully it includes folding hamburgers in my mouth
PLNs like this could help that ... Support with full-release mentors https://t.co/TjdvtTf2vY
A3: The need for speed. JK. Great need for parent education in terms of tech in our district. Can't leave them out
Mostly info for creating PD badges, but you'll get the idea. Posting Twitter and HSTRY badges soon.
A3: We need modern learning environments to support our learners and acknowledge their future is not the same as our now.
The rigor of Ss instruction changed before the content knowledge of Ts did...frustration leads 2 goodbyes
get it started, invite T friends to join us each week, and we will grow together
yes, creativity, allowing them to construct and make mistakes,try things...
Agree. Grades would also fall to the wayside to make room for more authentic, actionable feedback.
I haven't. You recommend?
Now THAT is a progressive idea!
A3: Crowdsourcing your PD. It's simple yet very effective. It's ok to procrastinate.
My island is floating further out to sea over these last few days. Gotta grab my paddle & get back. https://t.co/Vh9LMzfBWQ
A3- we needed a way to unite, not as a means to threaten but to be collegial and collaborative too many Ts on islands
i agree! It's important, but sometimes tricky, to find the perfect balance.
Feel free to check the site or send me questions. Trying to update it quickly!
A3.) Don't limit your Ss future by teaching in the past! Innovation is a beautiful thing, don't run from it embrace it!
A3: inEquity for minority Ss in education is a problem that should be SHOCKING that's still prevalent in 2016
what are some great ways to bring like minded educators together?
A3: we need to encourage growth mindset for our Ts too, offer help, baby steps
Make meaning thru mistakes! Encouraging the mindset!
I say this is crucial. Continue to build social skills so Ss can relate to each other.
Apologies, you're right... Self prescriptive or refined at least https://t.co/FMF0kzbSok
I'm inclined to re-cast: maybe still prescriptive. Just more targeted, rather than off label or misdiagnosed.
I have a teacher who uses # for daily review. Ss put it in their agenda and T tweets it
I wish there was an ED. specific component to that. I'm tempted to do the coursework as is.
Yes! Maybe you could start with a district-wide Twitter chat about it? :) https://t.co/LC6OugRlh7
Just joining now..great tweets. A3 We need a grassroots movement in my district to embrace social media, not fear it
We may not be in your building or state but we are just a click away! Always have your back! https://t.co/gLaZ6Qotpg
My island is floating further out to sea over these last few days. Gotta grab my paddle & get back. https://t.co/Vh9LMzfBWQ
A3- we needed a way to unite, not as a means to threaten but to be collegial and collaborative too many Ts on islands
A3 starting teachers off on the right foot from the college level. Too many gaps to fill once they graduate.
A3: I have a need to innovate, to do thing different and better. To learn and grow, to feed my curiosity.
Dear please let me copyright your idea... Please... I love it so much https://t.co/FVhktgNfaY
Well, I stole it from , so there.
Those factories have been closed for a LONG time!
Fear. The great equalizer. Brings many people together for the wrong reasons.
EdCamps, events like , Sumer tweet ups should happen!
creativity and curiosity are the mother of all invention! W/o then we are doomed!!
Have you seen the stats? I'll post those from ... In was startling! https://t.co/cMA5GiCxcc
A3: inEquity for minority Ss in education is a problem that should be SHOCKING that's still prevalent in 2016
We can't lose the person on the other side of the screen. Helping Ss truly connect via Edtech https://t.co/JTd0ZhWTEK
As a teacher who uses a lot of tech, I want to balance the use of technology w/ face to face interaction.
A4. We are creating small teams of connected & committed educators to passionately lead the way! https://t.co/DVejqtaW8b
I couldn't agree more! More training is needed on diagnosis/implementation . https://t.co/Pj13bCLlrx
I would argue we need data to drive decisions. Very few know how to interpret data & adjust accordingly.
A3: We need more in our schools
Those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future"
We're definitely on the same page. This has to change. No excuses.
A4. It is also beyond critical genuine student voice is included in the innovations happening in edu
Those Care Bears look violated or sad-& they're throwing up from their bellies-won't sleep tonight https://t.co/RDf1AD6Lei
what do you attribute that to?
We don't model what we should w pre-serv Ts. Lectures, content in silos, hands-off.
They all sound like amazing ideas :-)
What if we got teachers and admin doing this also ?
A4 Right now, I'm soaking in what I can about the profession & learning from some of the most innovative Ts!
Our training is ED specific. Systems/process thinking and 6 sigma tailored to school leadership.
be the change!!! Relevance makes excitement!! Give them tools they can use!!!
A4: Plant seeds for student-led tech teams at each school in my district.
how do we balance student creativity and choice with accountability and equity?
A4: Build a shared leadership model at my school. Bring the talents of many (all) to the table to do what's best for ss.
A4. Empathy, awareness, & growth mindset are beyond essential and need to be embedded in everyone classroom
A4: Open up the classrooms, get Ts collaborating, sharing ideas, growth mindsets,
Does student teaching *really* capture what it's like to be a "full fledged" teacher?
A4 A PLN in Word and Deed being a support group providing an ear for those Ts who have no collaboration, or support
That is amazing stuff, I'm tempted to look at a DBA with that kind of emphasis.
To paraphrase , "Hate change? You may hate irrelevance even more."
I hope it happens everywhere on the whole planet! https://t.co/PlJT1tH39Z
Yay! Peer evaluation is huge; it's something I hope we start doing in our district.
oh, he did great answering that! LOL
Funny how many of these new ideas are from my student days in the 70s. No grades. Recess. And lots of creative projects!
A4. Principals must see themselves as instructional leaders & learners -- modeling every single day for teachers & students
This is a great idea. Do Ss participate pretty well?
Our Team offers 2 hr PD with 1 hr built in for creating & exploring what they just learned. Effective & Meaningful.
Hahaha why not both at the same time?
A4: Be an evangelist for & . Start a create-a-palooza conference!
love it! Whether it's done technologically or not, the sharing component is invaluable.
A4: Various types of PD to meet the needs of teachers across our district.
A4: Our Team offers 2 hr PD with 1 hr built in for creating & exploring what they just learned. Effective & Meaningful.
big idea is to start small & build...it can seem a huge task, exploratory and rewarding. Building blocks.
What do you believe Ed programs could do better to prepare teachers for the heavy work load?
heard this sentimenton a podcast earlier. If Ts are expected to use tech but admin don't model, is this fair?
Thinking same: we are building student leadership opportunities & they take ownership of learning https://t.co/WkziUxZ3Q2
A4. It is also beyond critical genuine student voice is included in the innovations happening in edu
A4. Emphasis must stay on learning & learner Technology is a beautiful & critical tool, it's the what, learning is the why.
Definitely.They need to learn how to handle conflict & still complete a project.
yes worst question to ever be asked, "When will we ever use this?" If they can't use it don't teach it!
So many great things! I will come back to the particpate page later; gotta hit the road now. Good night everyone!
A4 to simply light the fire in my coworkers. Slow but steady here.
Yes! https://t.co/aKhlQgkUqx
A4. Principals must see themselves as instructional leaders & learners -- modeling every single day for teachers & students
small goals and baby steps
We just held 13 conversations with 13 schools on today to promote reflective practice. It was awesome !
It's not, that's why I'm on here learning and sharing with my Ts!
Yes! We have to genuinely empower them to use their voice locally, digitally, globally https://t.co/lPso6VKX8L
Thinking same: we are building student leadership opportunities & they take ownership of learning https://t.co/WkziUxZ3Q2

Reflection is crucial for growth. Everyone would benefit. :)
I love Sanger!!! There's a Mexican restaurant off I-35... Miguelitos???... That I love so much https://t.co/FRYbrO9RtV
We also MUST give an answer to this if asked. "Just need to get thru the curriculum" sucks as an answer
A4)Current focus is to engage workplace professionals F2F w disadvantaged students. Not revolutionary, but necessary.
A4: we started tailoring our trainings more for a schools's specific needs. Totally redid our online courses.
A4: Paring together learning forward w/ tech while looking for results & reflection. We've worked hard!
SWIVL bots are awesome tools for reflection for teachers and students
Relevancy was huge. We had Ss with adv. scores but no critical thinking. Life isnt about bubbling, and now Ss r seeing it
A4 Work on a culture of innovation + risk-taking. Set specific goals for growing craft. Share efforts w others and grow!
This, to me, is the way to go. Drops of water can go through rock. The trick is to be persistent! https://t.co/JksmVk0eeb
big idea is to start small & build...it can seem a huge task, exploratory and rewarding. Building blocks.
A4: Create personalized learning programs for every kid. IEP, GIEP, etc. applied to every kid no matter level, class, etc.
Time we see genuine shift of majority of our principals being instructional leaders, not managers https://t.co/9H4MDH6i7E
Yes! https://t.co/aKhlQgkUqx
A4. Principals must see themselves as instructional leaders & learners -- modeling every single day for teachers & students
A4: I want to do tech lunch at my house this summer for Ts in our building to get them pumped about tech integration early
Q4 ... has a new ELA/ELD program to help our ELL students - very exciting based on teacher feedback
I seriously love that I learn something new every Monday night
A4: Wifi buses or mobile units that go to urban neighborhoods for my kiddos that don't have wifi at home
This is amazing! Definitely beneficial.
True. Start local and move to global. It can be done. https://t.co/u6eHI1FCxQ

Awesome ! We started a provincial chat this year. https://t.co/gVCFYUOioE
A3 Twitter for PLN growth and PD. Starting district Twitter chat this week!
our daughter's elementary school just had a P&T night-out to raise $ for tech.
I think this is a great idea!!!
Gee where did you get the SlumberParty metaphor from? 👁👁 Someone just smacked u HARD.
Very true. Less classroom time. More practicum time in innovative classrooms!
A4 Include big ideas as part of current practice, don't displace.
A3: Strategic support needs to be in place to prepare and retain quality educators. Burnout is so real!
Yes! Love Migs! This is why I adore twitter, connecting lovers of food and education.
hot and fast dont work in education. Ts just ignore it until it flames out!
I may only get 20 min of tonight, but I'm gonna make the most of it! I'm Bethany; K teacher in Idaho
this is a positive thing to do regardless of the situation, encouragement goes along way https://t.co/nelzGyyMUW
A3: we need to encourage growth mindset for our Ts too, offer help, baby steps
Nice! How's it going? Are Ts joining the movement?!
Thats what happens where there is no vision.
Yes ... New focus on standards mastery rather than curriculum coverage https://t.co/BhQC2fdvmq
We also MUST give an answer to this if asked. "Just need to get thru the curriculum" sucks as an answer
Love this idea, Cassie! Doing summer book club w/ 's Book of What If with same idea! https://t.co/gyuCGf0Y4L
A4: I want to do tech lunch at my house this summer for Ts in our building to get them pumped about tech integration early
Welcome back, Bethany! That's ok! We're glad to have you 4 a little bit!
Direct message me your email address if you want. I'll share what I have and we can bounce some ideas.
Yes! Working on this & bydh (bring your device home) too! That is equity. https://t.co/m4o88Gz7Ty
A4: Wifi buses or mobile units that go to urban neighborhoods for my kiddos that don't have wifi at home
Being open to ideas & learning all you can from experienced Ts will help you a great deal!
Agreed. Few programs really get that. Not enough though! Also, hard to get good teachers involved.
Nice! Must teach Ps how diff school is "these days." Impt grassrts effort--always!
absolutely! They often teach us so much!
in other words, everything but "not caring." 👍🏽
A4: our Summer training offers "Pop Up PD" at innovative locations So Ts can see the work environments our Ss will work in.
Wish I could "heart" this comment several more times! https://t.co/D0AhLWFGby
Very true. Less classroom time. More practicum time in innovative classrooms!
A5: Find Ts in your building who want to help or send out a Tweet, plenty of good help can be found.
hey Bethany welcome, always awesome to have you
I have gone so much further since finding other fellow islands to collaborate with!
A4 Going to get teachers into twitter with some healthy competition and offer incentives. PLEASE LET THIS WORK!
certainly this forum or community of educators is a great place to start. Great things happening in here
A5 Twitter can connect you to any one. I'm amazed at how refined an idea can get just by putting it out there!

A5: Connect via social media, PNs like LinkedIn, & online learning communities & forums
It has already started! Who knew you guys were so accessible!? So great!
Could not agree more! All starts out of having a passion for your content and seeing growth in your Ss!
that is great but I try to get schools to focus on a certain goal
A5 I find it's easy to find people on Twitter. So hard in my district.
I've seen it too many times. Passion & interest becomes routine and monotony.
So much greatness on a Monday!
More and more. We are concentrating on principals in particular, leadership involves everyone !
A5: By allowing yourself to be vulnerable w your PLN. You must admit an area of potential growth in order to receive help.
lololol thanks Nathan! 😂😂😂
A5 - reach out to my awesome on Twitter and bounce ideas off of them.
I take things to voxer all the time. Maybe we need one here. Voxer slow-chats build off weekly Qs from twitter.
Lil B , , , Waiters , , Kanter , ,
A5: oh, that's easy: just come here on and ask for advice and support! :-)
Absolutely! It takes that guise, but I've found it's never the case. Spot on.
& so much more beyond the content for our learners! Skills, dispositions & finding own passions! https://t.co/cbHmX6hsoE
Could not agree more! All starts out of having a passion for your content and seeing growth in your Ss!
Thanks for your inspiration! Teddy bear is calling my name for bedtime story!
A5 Connect through topic-centered chats vs. random SM call for help.

This was so fun and I laughed myself silly at those gifs but gotta run! Until next time...thanks so much
A5:Listen & read for Ts doing cool things,follow them on Twitter, follow people they follow,immerse yourself into the idea.
A5) Social media, but they're also all around you. Families. Business. Anyone invested in schools. https://t.co/aQ2CDreQiX
I feel that a bit. Tap sweet Venn diagram overlap comprising people on Twitter *and* in your district?
We look forward to you joining us next time!
I agree ... Even better when virtual friends appear to be close by https://t.co/whXO1qtBZ1
A5 I find it's easy to find people on Twitter. So hard in my district.

A4: I coach principals, but would love to work with superintendents to develop principal leadership and support programs
Admit it Alex, you are perfect. At least that beard of yours is.
I found paddle, trello, & wordpress by looking at my own weaknesses.
Ok,I kind of like curriculum maps I've made myself bc I got to know the standards & it made easier to start.
night, night, my friend! Thanks for joining!
A5: Twitter has helped me connect with so many in my district. Thankful for my peeps!

A5: Collaborators found lots of places. I also recommend spending time with those who think differently, yet are respectful
Made yourself = permissible. :)
Curriculum maps that could be flexible as the Ss needs changed and grew. Nothing set in stone.
that bat in the bat signal looks like a pair of underwear
That is crucial. Lead, learn and grow along side your teachers !
A5: if you see a need for something, create it instead of complaining that no one else is creating it for you
Yes! Everyone @ the table! Having a connected supe ( for example) is a game changer! https://t.co/fljoE60CiW

A5: bring it up every chance you get - you never know when someone might want to jump on board https://t.co/plJ7z9NjRb
A5: just putting it out there in SM increases great response & ideas!
This is the key. Otherwise, we r doing exactly what we r preaching against. "Get thru curriculum." https://t.co/cFYAp9k7da
Curriculum maps that could be flexible as the Ss needs changed and grew. Nothing set in stone.
no that is my son right now

pretty sure the goal was device access for all students. A silent auction there raised additional $.
A6: Connecting through twitter & other avenues helps you when you need to spread the message. Great energizer too!
indeed, my friend! Spoken relentlessly like a brave...neutrino...
A5: Coffee. Bring all the coffee. Kind of tongue in cheek, kind of true.

Angela Duckworth approves of this message
Absolutely! Inviting others in to see what your Ss are doing is the 1st step to expanding your PLN.
tiny.... no mass .... speed of light...passing through as we speak... Part of the universe. Gone in a flash
A6: Show Ts how your idea will make their lives/job easier. That's been a pretty effective way to get support so far.
