A1: Effective educator= Expert at managing and measuring learning in a supportive and challenging environment. #edchatME

@jonpratt @msroundstweets it's all about quality evidence anyway; a quality collection of formative can serve as summative #imho #edchatme

msroundstweets Oct 17 @ 9:02 PM EDT

@WickedDecent @jonpratt #edchatme I dread squeezing my proficiency based assessment into IC boxes.

nataleestotz Oct 17 @ 9:02 PM EDT

@jessicawrd3 It's a HUGE mindset shift for teachers & parents. Find the Ss shift the easiest! Takes a lot of time. #edchatme

MsMeservey Oct 17 @ 9:03 PM EDT

A4: An open mindset to different types of answers/ways to doing things. Preservering when ss are not mastering. Reflective. #edchatme

DrewetteCard - Moderator Oct 17 @ 9:03 PM EDT

A4) Modeling making mistakes, learning from them, and refining those mistakes through brainstorming, empathy, and iteration. #edchatme

msroundstweets Oct 17 @ 9:03 PM EDT

@WickedDecent @jonpratt #edchatme I'm attempting to reinvent the "final assessment" this year. Could be cool. #gearsturning

jbailey8 Oct 17 @ 9:03 PM EDT

A4: Growth mindset, Facilitator's Mindset, Learner's Mindset & Team Player's Mindset #edchatME

jonpratt - Moderator Oct 17 @ 9:03 PM EDT

DrewetteCard - Moderator Oct 17 @ 9:04 PM EDT

@jonpratt @msroundstweets @WickedDecent #TTOG #edchatme

MisterCMaine - Moderator Oct 17 @ 9:04 PM EDT

A4: Ss see through the fluff. Be real, be you, be honest, be empathetic & be totally badass. Model what you expect from Ss! #EdChatME

nataleestotz Oct 17 @ 9:04 PM EDT

@jonpratt @msroundstweets @WickedDecent @DrewetteCard Isn't that #TTOG ? there's also a Facebook group. #edchatme

@WickedDecent Dude. Cheating == symptom. #MindBlown YES! Thank you! #EdChatME

@msroundstweets @WickedDecent @jonpratt (1/2) So don’t do it. Create Google Portfolios and have Ss track their progress. Then… #EdChatME

mclaughlina Oct 17 @ 9:05 PM EDT

A4; growth mindset w/ an emphasis on Habits of Mind: think flexibly, persevere, empathy, strive for accuracy... #edchatme

nataleestotz Oct 17 @ 9:05 PM EDT

A4: It's not about me. School should be Student centered, not Teacher centered. #edchatme

@msroundstweets Keep everything transparent - allow them to see your rubrics, assignments, and most import - all Ss work #EdChatME

nataleestotz Oct 17 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@WickedDecent My Ss get frustrated that I don't tell them answers or give them ?s that have a specific answer I'm looking for. #edchatme

EdChatME Oct 17 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Q5: Let's look for some themes & patterns - what do we in #EdChatME share in common as we define effectiveness in theory and practice?

msroundstweets Oct 17 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@WickedDecent @DrewetteCard @jonpratt #edchatme Clarity right from the start...I always forget, but great point.

mclaughlina Oct 17 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@msroundstweets I had a teacher start a semester, Oprah Style, "You get an A! and You get an A!" Now let's learn something! #edchatme

MsMeservey Oct 17 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A5: Growth mindset, being empathetic to ss, students over standards. #edchatme #goodnight

MiaLMorrison Oct 17 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@nataleestotz And that’s when you say - exactly! That's a skill for them to learn #EdChatME

jbailey8 Oct 17 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A5: Student Centered, Compassionate educators with clear targets for Ss and a plan (albeit flexible and individual) to get there. #edchatME

msroundstweets Oct 17 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@mclaughlina #edchatme YES! That sounds like my favorite approach. 😀

jonpratt - Moderator Oct 17 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A5 WAY more to synthesize tonight than anticipated but gut-shot reactions: Focus on Ss. Growth mindset. Transparent. #EdChatME

jessicawrd3 Oct 17 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@MiaLMorrison This particular group is very private about their work. Need to work on making a comfortable culture of sharing. #edchatme

A5 Creation and choice - let students lead #EdChatME

DrewetteCard - Moderator Oct 17 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@msroundstweets @WickedDecent @jonpratt Parents will follow with transparency and opportunities to voice themselves. Go for it. #edchatme

jonpratt - Moderator Oct 17 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Noticing a LOT of overlap in our A5s ... really clear that the #EdChatME community has a strong, shared vision of effectiveness!

MisterCMaine - Moderator Oct 17 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A5: Its VERY clear what we believe in & what we practice (speaking globally) are two very different things. Need to grow mindsets. #EdChatME

MiaLMorrison Oct 17 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@nataleestotz yes it takes building that culture - use a class blog where everyone - author They get used to it - honest #EdChatME

nataleestotz Oct 17 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@MiaLMorrison That's a great idea. I haven't used blogging in several years. Might be good to get back to it! #edchatme

jonpratt - Moderator Oct 17 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Also notice in A5s that we say Ss over standards, but DO have outcomes in mind - just that they aren't ONLY "academic". #EdChatME

@MiaLMorrison You've got me thinking...1 blog or individual student blogs? I've done both ineffectively! #edchatme

jessicawrd3 Oct 17 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A6) constant feedback from Ts and Ss, #needtostartblogging, more time to reflect #edchatME

jbailey8 Oct 17 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A6: To grow we need to differentiate PD 4 Ts so we can each focus on the skills we need 2 grow, & share those in which we excel. #edchatME

Boom. #edchatme https://t.co/gFKyheWzU4

A6 Individual reflection & seeking external feedback is key. Systematic is bigger challenge, but need to start w/ shared mission. #EdChatME

nataleestotz Oct 17 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@MiaLMorrison Also, what about a platform such as @Seesaw ? That's probably a more limited audience. #edchatme
