  • brynmw May 13 @ 10:09 PM EDT
    A1: (this is hard). I see this is about Gratitude (thanking the teacher). It reminds me of the power of learning "I want to know what's going on". #bcedchat

    A1: I see it as an opportunity for professional development. Mental health awareness about how we can address students self-doubt & confidence. #bcedchat
  • CraigMah - Moderator May 13 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    Q2 is coming! #bcedchat
  • CapobiancoSam May 13 @ 10:12 PM EDT

    A1: Had to look up the words and I am going with gratitude. Agree with @brynmw and @jfprovencher27 But it is also about still needing a teacher so he can work out what is going on. #bcedchat
  • davison_carol May 13 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    #BCEdChat Carol from Surrey! A1 Definitely pro d. I hear an early career teacher hoping that colleagues and experience will support their success. Pre-service learning is only the start!

    Interesting! Thanks Kathleen! #bcedchat
    In reply to @spaldingk10
  • hazlebussey May 13 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    Hmmm. I had forgotten about this song. Feels really teacher-centric listening to it now. "Teacher teacher, can you teach me?" Might be a call for more PD inviting teachers to explore student-centered pedagogy that elevates student voice? #bcedchat
    In reply to @CraigMah
  • lauriemeston May 13 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    A1: I would say it relates to the last day of school - uncertainty & some fear about what the future holds & whether what he learned in school will be relevant to his future. #bcedchat

    I see them as connected. Gratitute for what the teacher has done, but with the professional development to be able to do this as a teacher (from the student perspective). #bcedchat

    Hi, Geraldine joining in from SD 82. Looks like a fun format tonight! #bcedchat
  • kthomas4808 May 13 @ 10:14 PM EDT
    A1: OK, this is a stretch but it reminds me of the last day of school because it seems like 80’s music and hard rock and reminds me of high school. #bcedchat
  • brynmw May 13 @ 10:14 PM EDT
    Okay. I'm just going to listen to this for a while. I may be back in about three hours......love this Soft Cell. #bcedchat

    Agree 100% !!!!! #bcedchat
    In reply to @jfprovencher27
  • CapobiancoSam May 13 @ 10:16 PM EDT
    A2: I know this is off from the song, but from your options the "Sometimes I feel I've got to Run away I've got to Get away" makes me think of the opportunity for experiential learning and new experience from the in-class setting we are used to #bcedchat
  • jfprovencher27 May 13 @ 10:16 PM EDT

  • hazlebussey May 13 @ 10:16 PM EDT
    I wonder how often Ss and Ts feel this everyday of the year? 😢 #bcedchat
    In reply to @lauriemeston
  • brynmw May 13 @ 10:16 PM EDT
    A2: I'd go with Assessment. In that they are things that we "run toward' but are tainted by how they are used. #bcedchat
  • Ed_by_design May 13 @ 10:16 PM EDT
    #bcedchat Gary from Philadelphia. Hoping I can squeak in some responses and reading others' responses in between doing some work.
  • CraigMah - Moderator May 13 @ 10:16 PM EDT
    The song is a product of the 80s, but performed by artists who grew up in the 50 or 60s. I'm just guessing... #bcedchat

    A2: Assessment!!! Not so much formative, as that is immediate and impactful, but rather summative. “Now I run from you” as summative doesn’t truly capture the essence and complete picture of the student. #bcedchat
  • CraigMah - Moderator May 13 @ 10:17 PM EDT
    I should say that I randomly picked the topics to associate with these songs! #bcedchat

  • lauriemeston May 13 @ 10:19 PM EDT
    Probably quite frequently. Relevancy is such a conundrum. Hard to know what Ss will need to know in this "fast changing" world we live in. #bcedchat
    In reply to @hazlebussey
  • CraigMah - Moderator May 13 @ 10:19 PM EDT
    I think there is a love/hate relationship with assessment...ie. tainted love! :) #bcedchat

    Hello #bcedchat & @CraigMah Arriving late but ready to play ... what question are we on?
  • hazlebussey May 13 @ 10:20 PM EDT
    This is definitely assessment! "Once I ran to you, now I run from you." Testing has ruined assessment for so many Ts and Ss - used to be joy in producing evidence of learning. Now it's just tainted love. #bcedchat
    In reply to @CraigMah

    A2: I’m not doing a very good job of connecting these songs to anything but my experiences. I’m back in high school. Time to explore those thoughts. #BCEdChat
  • dramaqueen4 May 13 @ 10:20 PM EDT
    #BCEdChat Laughing so hard about A2! I'm an assessment nut, but I so feel the pain & often want to "run from" it! The "pain" it gives me is genuine becuz assessment is changing too quickly. It makes me "toss and turn" - I've shed "tears" & "give my all" to assessment every day!
  • Ed_by_design May 13 @ 10:20 PM EDT
    #bcedchat A2 I'm hearing assessment, mostly because I think too many of us conflate assessment with evaluation. And then Ss get the wrong idea about learning. So the whole idea is tainted.
  • CraigMah - Moderator May 13 @ 10:20 PM EDT
    Q3 is on the way!!!! #bcedchat
  • CraigMah - Moderator May 13 @ 10:21 PM EDT
    I'm guessing assessment is the biggest connection to Tainted Love. Who would have thought? :) #bcedchat
    In reply to @Ed_by_design
  • hazlebussey May 13 @ 10:21 PM EDT
    So true, but it sure feels like a lot of the time we spend in preparing for and taking tests is probably not going to be adequate for those changes, whatever they may be. #bcedchat
    In reply to @lauriemeston
  • glawlor130 May 13 @ 10:21 PM EDT
    A2: The feelings of anxiety around testing/summative assessment that many S’s feel “...and I’ve lost my light, for I toss and turn I can’t sleep at night” #bcedchat

  • lyndasuelew May 13 @ 10:23 PM EDT
    Agreed. And connects to that line I already tweeted about for the first song - “But the joke's on those who believe the system's fair!” Cuz assessment can be a challenge to make fair. Enter the standardized tests. #BCEdChat

    A3 parents disconnect more and more through the system; at the same rate/time we see students morale go down and a shift towards more bells and more (?) curriculum focus and parents nervous about going to the principals office because of “the good old days” #bcedchat

  • hazlebussey May 13 @ 10:27 PM EDT
    I'm going with parent communication. I like the empathy angle of saying to parents "Your hearts been aching but you're too shy to say it." Committing to being a steadfast partner in supporting Ss - which can first mean convincing parents you are in their corner to stay. #bcedchat
