#stucentclass A1 hmm, definitely a mix, although sometimes I do push forward rapids style,

In reply to @ChouinardJahant

teresagross625 Jun 9 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A3: absolutely! Set class norms and practice in the beginning of the year. Then review as needed. #stucentclass

Hahne_KingEle Jun 9 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A3 everything comes with a model and remodeling. Transitions can be Ss-centered once they're routine. #stucentclass

whiteeducator Jun 9 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A3: Great ???! I think if adults were more flexible, and provided Ss w/ clear expectations, Ss could transition on their own. #stucentclass

JKatzaman Jun 9 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2 Do students get involved as deeply as daily lesson planning, or is it better to do so more broadly as in weekly? #stucentclass

RustyMayInc Jun 9 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2: Giving Ss a choice and honoring that choice is important to create a relationship #stucentclass

BarbaraGruener Jun 9 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A3: We can teach Ss to self-transition. But it takes modeling and lots of practice. Let them mess up; it's how they'll learn. #stucentclass

RustyMayInc Jun 9 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A3. Adjusting to change is an important skill to teach Ss. It works implementing a plan where Ss wheigh in. #stucentclass

ChouinardJahant - Moderator Jun 9 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Yes the Ss sometimes hate it but if I let them write goals & model the routines in their own- they own them #stucentclass

Hahne_KingEle Jun 9 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A4 When Ss teach eachother without writing content down. My Ss love to create and draw. So adding it into Formative assess. #stucentclass

ApraRalli Jun 9 @ 9:20 PM EDT

#stucentclass A4. Ss seeking interviews from people who have suffered Partition then assess the impact.Ss were to create primary sources

#stucentclass Being able to laugh at yourself and being very reflective-taking-risks and definitely failing fast in order to revamp and grow

Bonus ?: So important to show we're human, we make mistakes, and we all need to laugh sometimes. It's okay to be genuine! #stucentclass

Hahne_KingEle Jun 9 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Bonus a-your students can be independent from the moment they come in your classroom. They're thinkers & individuals. Own it. #stucentclass

Bonus A: The more you can model flexibility, the more students might respond favorably to less rigid routines. #stucentclass
