Q6 What is possible when we look to the future of student learning? #sblchat

TTmomTT Oct 26 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A6: a system wide shift to Ss learning, not gathering points. Hopefully a shift to less "stuff" more thinking & wondering. #sblchat

Ms_Heilsberg Oct 26 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@RoweRikW oh yeah by the end of the yr they are convinced i'm either super cool or nuts #sblchat

WickedDecent Oct 26 @ 9:54 PM EDT

MichaelisMath Oct 26 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@WickedDecent @KatieBudrow Even in math, "how might we" sends the msg "there are multiple right ways." SO IMPORTANT! #notsurewhatchatthisis

@PegGrafwallner I mostly taught in schools with long learning periods (76 minutes +) but I never taught in a school with bells. #sblchat

MsMontagnon Oct 26 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A6 W/o strict deadlines & arbitrary grades, Ss have the capacity to do amazing things! They will have more confidence to take risks #sblchat

Ms_Heilsberg Oct 26 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@kenoc7 and their convenience kills Ss learning and progress #sblchat

PegGrafwallner Oct 26 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A6 Everything! providing we are willing to give up control & give our Ss what they need: routine with empowerment! #sblchat

A6 Schools that are truly personalized for students. Opportunities for kids to do something real and impact the world around them. #sblchat

kenoc7 Oct 26 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@Ms_Heilsberg Agreed and that is why they must be seen as way points or moments in time not ends. #sblchat

garnet_hillman - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:56 PM EDT

I cannot thank @KatieBudrow enough for the thoughtful questions tonight! #sblchat

BarbMiller12 Oct 26 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A6 perfect world:No grade levels;Ss move levels when concepts are mastered & could be a various levels in different contents. WHAT? #sblchat

aaron_rzbm Oct 26 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@kenoc7 The technology we have these days for Ps and Ss should be able to stay updated without waiting for quarterly reports. #sblchat

TTmomTT Oct 26 @ 9:57 PM EDT

Thanks @KatieBudrow for rocking #sblchat tonight. It's always great growing with the PLN!

kenoc7 Oct 26 @ 9:57 PM EDT

Great Qs @KatieBudrow Great convo #sblchat Thanks @RoweRikW & @garnet_hillman

kenoc7 Oct 26 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@aaron_rzbm Agreed. Must think about whole communication system & if coherent & comprehensive probably can eliminate report cards. #sblchat

Ms_Heilsberg Oct 26 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@TracyMailloux pressure for grades that end up being meaningless or keep showing them every yr is a chance to learn more #sblchat
