A1: Ownership & Empowerment. When educators provide opportunities for Ss to share their voice & choice, they empower their Ss. #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Apr 5 @ 10:03 PM EDT

Q1 is here. Why is "voice and choice" important? #BSD7chat

AlisonFeddes Apr 5 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A1: S Voice and Choice = Empowerment + Ownership + Motivation + Engagement #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Apr 5 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A1 Voice and choice creates buy-in to student learning. We show Ss we value what matters to *them.* #BSD7chat

CAMathTeacher Apr 5 @ 10:07 PM EDT

Absolutely. Let's let them drive our teaching. #BSD7chat

In reply to @rachelmarker

rachelmarker - Moderator Apr 5 @ 10:07 PM EDT

Absolutely. And with empowerment, students start to take charge of their learning. Makes it meaningful. #BSD7chat

In reply to @Jyoung1219

LannySaretsky Apr 5 @ 10:08 PM EDT

A1 Student choice leads to authentic and enriching learning experiences which often opens the door for endless innovation #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Apr 5 @ 10:08 PM EDT

BOOM! Yep, Alison sums it up right here. Totally agree! #BSD7chat

AlisonFeddes Apr 5 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A1: S Voice and Choice = Empowerment + Ownership + Motivation + Engagement #BSD7chat

CAMathTeacher Apr 5 @ 10:08 PM EDT

I was sad to know the chat is taking a break though. #bsd7chat

In reply to @rachelmarker, @Jyoung1219

rachelmarker - Moderator Apr 5 @ 10:09 PM EDT

The authenticity piece is so key. This is what leads to interest and pursuit of potentially lifelong interests. #BSD7chat

In reply to @LannySaretsky

Jyoung1219 Apr 5 @ 10:09 PM EDT

It's not about the curriculum, but rather the students. #BSD7chat

In reply to @CAMathTeacher, @rachelmarker

rachelmarker - Moderator Apr 5 @ 10:09 PM EDT

Q2 Provide examples! #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Apr 5 @ 10:10 PM EDT

Agreed. And the creative outlets/opportunities Ts provide for Ss. #BSD7chat

In reply to @Jyoung1219, @CAMathTeacher

Jyoung1219 Apr 5 @ 10:10 PM EDT

I've been telling Ts I support - We teach students, we don't teach curriculum. Program guides us, but we NEED to adjust w our Ss. #BSD7chat

In reply to @CAMathTeacher, @rachelmarker

Jyoung1219 Apr 5 @ 10:11 PM EDT

Love your mention of enrichment and innovation! #BSD7chat

In reply to @LannySaretsky

LannySaretsky Apr 5 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A2 Often PBL is great. I'll have an open ended assign that can allow Ss to follow their inter and passions within a certain frame #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Apr 5 @ 10:11 PM EDT

We s/times have to remind ourselves--it's not about "covering content." It's about engaging Ss + discovering what motivates them. #BSD7chat

In reply to @Jyoung1219, @CAMathTeacher

AlisonFeddes Apr 5 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A2 Choice in topics to wonder, research, and share. #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Apr 5 @ 10:12 PM EDT

PBL is a great way to give Ss V+C. You teach 2nd gr, right? How do they do w PBL? #BSD7chat

In reply to @LannySaretsky

CAMathTeacher Apr 5 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A2: 1:1 conferences always help. Let's also provide opportunities for them to share their voice w peers. #bsd7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Apr 5 @ 10:09 PM EDT

Q2 Provide examples! #BSD7chat

LannySaretsky Apr 5 @ 10:13 PM EDT

It's just a guide but I do find that relevant outcomes in the curriculum often get covered ind by Ss following their interests #BSD7chat

In reply to @Jyoung1219, @CAMathTeacher, @rachelmarker

Jyoung1219 Apr 5 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A2: As a STEAM instructional coach, using inquiry-based learning strategies provides structure for Ss to ask their own Qs #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Apr 5 @ 10:09 PM EDT

Q2 Provide examples! #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Apr 5 @ 10:13 PM EDT

Love how you mention 'wonder.' So impt to allow our Ss time 2 explore+wonder. S/times it takes time to land on s/thing to resrch. #BSD7chat

In reply to @AlisonFeddes

CAMathTeacher Apr 5 @ 10:14 PM EDT

What does PBL stand for? There are too many acronyms in education & Twitter. I'm still learning. #BSD7chat

In reply to @rachelmarker, @LannySaretsky

rachelmarker - Moderator Apr 5 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A2 Readers' + Writers' workshop has heaps of voice & choice: what you read, what you write. #BSD7chat

LannySaretsky Apr 5 @ 10:14 PM EDT

They amaze me every time. Things that I wouldn't have thought of often get brought into the classroom. Guiding a bit often helps #BSD7chat

In reply to @rachelmarker

rachelmarker - Moderator Apr 5 @ 10:17 PM EDT

Such a cool age. Gr 2 Ss are still brimming w ideas and curiosity. Do you guide via 1:1 conferences? HyperDocs? Menus? #BSD7chat

In reply to @LannySaretsky

rachelmarker - Moderator Apr 5 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A2 I also love to give Ss menus of options. Choosing from an array of learning activities is a simple way to offer choice! #BSD7chat

Jyoung1219 Apr 5 @ 10:18 PM EDT

In reply to @LannySaretsky, @rachelmarker

rachelmarker - Moderator Apr 5 @ 10:20 PM EDT
