A1: First, engage student by inspiring interest

Give students opportunity to search and learn from outside sources/media. Have them bring learning resources to class q2
-
Q4: How have you noticed diverse strategies to solving academic problems? How did you encourage/support? https://t.co/CVoEzF2up2
-
What is a favorite way to inspire interest?
-
I'd like to establish a baseline here: When you say diverse, what do you mean?
-
, great question, when writing this I struggled on that for a while, I settled on culture, just because.
-
When I first though to host this, I wasn't necessarily thinking of culture, but the options were too broad, so I had to limit
-
A1: Inspire interest by establishing a practical reason for the learners to want to know more.
-
A1: For instance, I try to find out about my participants in a wkshp or class so I can tailor to meet their specific needs.
-
Give students a safe place to test ideas. Give iterative feedback. q4
-
q4 - do you mean class/subject matter problem solving- or larger institutional academic problems?
-
-
Q4, I mean problem solving behaviors in an academic setting, the diversity of how you approach the problem
-
Q5: How do you diversify Content, Process &/or Product to meet the cultural needs of your community? https://t.co/LvMqE9gthn
-
A2: Strategies depend on the learner. If it's a "Believer" T, I emphasize the impact of the new learning on S academic achievemnt.
-
A2: If it's "Traditional" T, I provide written notes to take away.
-
What is a believer teacher?
-
A5, I find it easiest to diversify the process and product than it is to diversify the content.
-
Give learners flexible options or pathways to choose from that lend to the same objectives. q5
-
Spelling mistake https://t.co/dIDkxwq97M

-
A5 cont. Content is oft prescribed, but how I present & engage S the content isnt, also, I can alter the product to meet S needs
-
Would flexible options be the process?
-
-
I'm thinking of content as standards, but content could be a leveled reader I dvsfy Standards when they are N/A
-
A6: Use the method the participants are most comfortable with. If the tweet, use Twitter, etc. If mobile devices, text ()
-
I'm finding I am working with millennials as parents, I need to adapt beyond email. phone still works
-
F2F and phone very important at the beginning of relationship development. Then can maintain with other means.
