Tonight @gallianstone is leading our #NHed team to the end zone! https://t.co/vO4E3I04ct

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:01 PM EST

That commercial break is over, it's time for #NHed. Who's here tonight?

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:03 PM EST

I'm SR from MA, guest moderating #NHed tonight between #superbowl #commercials

audrallurvey Feb 7 @ 7:04 PM EST

Hello! Audra, LMS from Nottingham, NH. Working on my final #UDL lesson plan for my class. #nhed

lesliefarooq Feb 7 @ 7:04 PM EST

I'm here at #NHed, but I am very far from NH. Leslie in Mty, MX. Hi everyone! Have a central dogma flower! https://t.co/nnxGVOEHA9

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:05 PM EST

@audralurvey and @lesliefarooq thanks so much for joining me tonight! #nhed

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:07 PM EST

Q1 is coming up! #Nhed

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:08 PM EST

Q1. Do you use popular culture to engage S learning or do you punt on trying to keep up? #nhed

audrallurvey Feb 7 @ 7:10 PM EST

A1: I always try to connect popular culture somewhere, whether with a comparison or an analogy. As a specialist, I have short lessons. #nhed

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:11 PM EST

A1. My Ss are not very aware of popular culture - which I think is good for me because neither am I! #NHed

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:13 PM EST

@audrallurvey How do you keep up with what's new. I'm always a few trends/years behind when I'm trying to expose Ss to culture. #nhed

audrallurvey Feb 7 @ 7:14 PM EST

I try to find a way to connect through them, I have Ss of all abilities and they only see me 1x in 6 school days, so if I can I do! #nhed

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:16 PM EST

Q2 How do we support students who are not interested in popular culture without relegating their interests to second-string? #NHed

lesliefarooq Feb 7 @ 7:16 PM EST

A1: My Ss might not be as aware of popular culture as I am. #NHed #Formation #science #GirlsinSTEM https://t.co/tjvf6KwB4l

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:16 PM EST

(I had a little too much fun with the football references...) #nhed

audrallurvey Feb 7 @ 7:16 PM EST

@gallianstone I watch #pinterest. I can mention something that catches their attention without knowing anything about it #nhed

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:18 PM EST

@audrallurvey That's awesome! #nhed

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:19 PM EST

@lesliefarooq Interesting. Curious to see your answer to Q2. #nhed

audrallurvey Feb 7 @ 7:19 PM EST

@gallianstone As long as you mention something and show interest, the Ss will tell you what you need to know about it #nhed

lesliefarooq Feb 7 @ 7:19 PM EST

A2: I enjoy knowing #allthethings, so that helps a lot. Ss follow their curiosities, such as the Habsburgs: https://t.co/vxKsj63IA2 #NHed

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:20 PM EST

@audrallurvey Your students can talk.... #NHed

audrallurvey Feb 7 @ 7:21 PM EST

@gallianstone True, that is a bonus. Although I have a couple that don't. They wear their favorites on their shirts. #nhed

lesliefarooq Feb 7 @ 7:21 PM EST

@gallianstone Just posted it. Here is another one about the #axolotl: https://t.co/B5xVcjhSQj #NHed #endangeredSpecies #biology

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:21 PM EST

@audrallurvey Their favorites or their families/parents favorites? #NHed

audrallurvey Feb 7 @ 7:22 PM EST

@gallianstone Nope theirs. I have a nonverbal S who points to his shirt whenever I talk to him in the hallway. He knows #nhed

lesliefarooq Feb 7 @ 7:23 PM EST

@gallianstone @audrallurvey We are working in earnest on diversity and inclusion at our private school. It's a needs area. #NHed

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:23 PM EST

@audrallurvey Fair! It's something to pay attention to though. #NHed

audrallurvey Feb 7 @ 7:24 PM EST

@lesliefarooq @gallianstone Even in our little rural school, diversity is shallow #nhed

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:26 PM EST

Q3. Should all Ss be required to make a touchdown in order to be considered to have mastered your class? #NHed

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:29 PM EST

A3. All of my students have individualized goals for each unit - but I don't know how that would scale beyond my class of 2-4. #nhed

lesliefarooq Feb 7 @ 7:30 PM EST

A3: No. I teach a core science course. They don't all want to be biologists when they grow up. I tell them to do what they need to do. #NHed

audrallurvey Feb 7 @ 7:30 PM EST

A3: This is why I am a fan of #competencies in education. Ss can choose how to show. #mastery is subjective IMHO #nhed

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:32 PM EST

@audrallurvey is there a place for alt #competencies? Not just showing a different way, but working toward a different goal/standard? #NHed

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:32 PM EST

@lesliefarooq How does that look in practice? #NHed

audrallurvey Feb 7 @ 7:33 PM EST

@gallianstone I think #competencies are for everyone. Ss with #learningchallenges have #IEPgoals. Those are #competencies #nhed

lesliefarooq Feb 7 @ 7:33 PM EST

@gallianstone It looks like Ss who are 18yo make choices that reflect their college desires. Focus on AP physics, let bio slide, etc. #NHed

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:35 PM EST

@lesliefarooq Wondering what that would look like for younger Ss? (I teach Middle School) #NHed

lesliefarooq Feb 7 @ 7:36 PM EST

@gallianstone I think that #edreform and #personalizelearning are part of it. The "what" behind it can be googled-S passion takes lead #NHed

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:40 PM EST

Q4. What do you do to honor the efforts and achievements made by all Ss, not just your MVPs? #NHed

audrallurvey Feb 7 @ 7:43 PM EST

A4: Since I don't do grades, its easy to have all Ss give their opinions and share. No pressure. #nhed

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:44 PM EST

A4. I make an effort to acknowledge achievement and effort when I see it, but usually quietly/privately. It's how I wanted it as a S. #NHed

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:44 PM EST

@audrallurvey What about the shy/introverted S who don't want to share? #NHed

audrallurvey Feb 7 @ 7:46 PM EST

@gallianstone I always leave time at the end to approach Ss and connect in a nonthreatening way. Hope they feel OK #nhed

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:46 PM EST

@FirstAtBat Jump into #NHed, still 1 question left!

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:47 PM EST

@audrallurvey I think that's really important, especially in this community that focuses so much on Ss sharing publicly. #NHed

audrallurvey Feb 7 @ 7:48 PM EST

@gallianstone I know I need to make a point of talking more with these Ss. #nhed

FirstAtBat Feb 7 @ 7:48 PM EST

A4: I try my best to show, share and celebrate all Ss effort and thinking. #NHed

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:51 PM EST

Last question coming up as soon as my iPad catches up.... #NHed

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:54 PM EST

Q5. Should half-time be a time to reflect and refocus? Or is the point the break/entertainment? How do you balance the need for both? #NHed

gallianstone Feb 7 @ 7:56 PM EST

A5. I try to balance both. Make sure I end on relaxation so I go back feeling rested not burned out. #NHed

audrallurvey Feb 7 @ 7:57 PM EST

A5: I try to do 3+ class units. Wk 2-3 give me time to refocus and reflect on what to do next, and decide what works for the next set #nhed
