-
A1- If the eyes are windows to the soul, education should be the window to talents. Ed should let Ss see where they can thrive.

A1The connection between ideas, items, people those integrated relationships can help us define/use our talents
-
A1 by giving Ss the opportunity to produce or answer in creative ways. by helping them get involved in their own learning
-
-
Teachers create circumstances for students to thrive when they let students' passions drive the conversation
-
A1 when Ss participate in their own learning, a structured education can help them shine
-
A1 But if the formal education route doesn’t work one can try the informal one.
-
A2- Offer choice, encourage risk taking, let Ss decide how they want or need to demonstrate their learning, let go of fear
-
A1: by allowing students opportunities to learn through different skills, activities, and mediums!
-
A2 Personal passion for learning, high expectations of students, and a supportive and collaborative classroom env.

Open-ended inquiry questions that are relevant to the Ss in an environment that's safe to make mistakes https://t.co/jC0VcbbDxo
-
A2 Ss had t teach a class about viruses, & the Tt asked them to do it as a Play. that was years ago, and they still remember 1/2
-
A2 By providing opportunities for Ss to have real life experiences
-
Yes! Freedom of choice is so important! Allows Ss to take control of their own learning
-
having a class sign up chart to see what each student is doing as well as rubrics so Ss are on staying on track! 😊
-
there r teachers doing so but we need 2 create a recipe 4 this so that every teacher can practice it
-
A2 by teaching as a play, Ss were involved, made costumes, music, wrote a script, talents tht would not shine in Standzd Test 2/2
-
A2.Hand's on learning, multiple intelligence and building relationships to succeed and fail; perseverance and communication
-

Q3 How can we break out of a standardized model and match the right content with the right talent? https://t.co/7mv2Xe9DJf
-
-
. exactly! multiple intelligence - there are so many ways to grasp a concept!
-
The more Ss are involved, the more ownership of their learning. Ss talents can shine through their work.
-
do you keep these records? how do you analyze the the year long achievements or failures?
-
A2. exploration, open-ended assignments, and valuing failure
-
A3: through flexible grouping and differentiated instruction 😊
-
A3 UK tried to change with the 14-19 Diploma but it bombed - Ss Ts & parents went for the established routes instead
-
A3. Standardized testing, homework, old-school "behavior management," need to be done and we need to let kids BE kids and PLAY
-
A3 - By letting creativity, individual exploration and curiosity to lead education and letting "skills" supplement this
-
what are your ways to value the failure?
-
It's a hard beast to beat - traditional fallacy is so hard to overcome. The devil you know, as they say.
-
A3 by doing exactly what we're doing, connecting and engaging, willing to learn and open to new ideas. chats are a lot of help
-
-
A3 - Can't all talents demonstrate any content? Teach Ss to use talents to innovate solutions to real problems/As in content.
-
Yes!!! Solve them probs, yo! https://t.co/Stpa4ZBOru

Indeed I was involved with the development of the Public Services 14-19 Diploma - it looked good but ...
-
A3: Adjust application based on ss personality. It would be a tough juggling act! Abolish standardized testing
-
That should be a hashtag, lady!! https://t.co/yoqBTfgOcU
-
-
A3: Adjust application based on ss personality. It would be a tough juggling act! Abolish standardized testing
-
how would you know ss personality or prior knowledge to adjust the application?
-
By letting the Ss design the pathway. Open-ended questions lead to deeper thoughts to trying multiple solutions.
-
A3 fully agree with these and further of interests - then after listening we must act
-
Google forms, free draw, free write, classroom discussion - good question!!
-
don't be afraid to try new/different things,add fun to the lesson,use the talents+abilities of Ss for a better lesson
-
A3 2/2 If an education system's goal is achievement in standardized testing, then the path is standardized teaching.
-
-
Makes me think of the old one-room school house!
-
Tailor learning goals to Ss interests instead of a 1 size fits all model. Welcome their input & ideas https://t.co/WCA2S40R8L

-
TED_ED: Q3 How can we break out of a standardized model and match the right content with the right talent? …
-
-
-
exceptional (square peg) vs. standardized (round hole)- tough fit
-
must stay inspired & be willing to take a chance & think outside the box.
-
-
We have to move from the idea that std tests are the only "real" assessment measure. There are better more accurate ways
-
-
It is plus when in discussion listen to what are their passions
-
great! some students r coming from well-educated families some not. How do you help them to design the pathway?
-
-
How can we design for unlimited potential instead of a destination?
-
I concur! The more involved the greater depth of learning & a rise in confidence too! https://t.co/b5GBu1R4xY
-
-
The more Ss are involved, the more ownership of their learning. Ss talents can shine through their work.
-
Absolutely! the more ways Ss grasp a concept, the easier it'll be to retrieve that piece of information https://t.co/oOVQxdHxSK
-
-
don't be afraid to try new/different things,add fun to the lesson,use the talents+abilities of Ss for a better lesson
-
But we need to prepare Ss for REAL life, not just living with our box scores and standardized testing.
-
A4: By letting students research their passions especially using technology to research 💻
-
A4- By showing them they can change the world and connecting them to that world in any way possible.
-
A4.Sometimes we need to accept that we don't need to be experts, we can just be gateways.
-
A4 For starters, we can let them explore...
-
-
I think the issue is showing the politics there are way better assessment measures and convince them to use it.
-
A4 have high expectations for every child. treat students like they can do anything until they believe they can too.
-
ask the students frequently. Maker spaces help with this essential inquisitive environment.
-
q4 There are so many options now! We can find online mentors to support, video content for everything, infinite connections 2 hlp
-
And letting them share that research beyond the classroom!
-
https://t.co/BTS92mtVpB
-
-
But we need to prepare Ss for REAL life, not just living with our box scores and standardized testing.
-
-
Inspire Ss to be open to trying new things by modeling it ourselves! Trying new tech, teaching strats... https://t.co/x9qZrMlNFY
-
A3 Firstly, how do we know what a Ss destination is?
-
IMO, diagnostic assessments and other formative assessments are quite helpful.
-
-
. Agreed. I think that is where biz and industry can help apply pressure, showing our kids aren't prepared to work
-
YAAAAS!! https://t.co/ZFH1tP09dn
-
-
But we need to prepare Ss for REAL life, not just living with our box scores and standardized testing.
-
show and prove that you believe in them and in what they can do-in what they want to do. Support them as much as possible
-
Can even bring people with different professions to talk to class through Google Hangout!
-
do not tell them the goal is to reach to a destination. It is a journey and we do not know where it will take us.
-
A4 agree here - there are many routes and exploration is the key
-
I work in an area that is so geographically isolated it takes an hour to get to the I-5.
-
this is exactly the point! let Ss be involved in their learning process, they'll even enjoy it https://t.co/Pdr9xRPSIG
-
-
A4 have high expectations for every child. treat students like they can do anything until they believe they can too.
-
When I was a classroom teacher I had an entire wall dedicated to the process of "What to do when you fail"
-
The industry has been trying to show the schooling does not work. has his own school for his kids.
-
A4 Again, we must teach Ss HOW to effectively learn, and encourage them to pursue passions rather than purely emphasize content.
-
A prof once said, We have a long way 2 go b4 Ss are going to achieve beyond expectations. Beyond stuck w/ me.
-
A4 we should listen to what their passions are, and try to incorporate them into the lessons
-
how do u combine all these assessments 4 a bigger picture of Ss learning?
-
Teachers can start w/sharing their passion.
-
Ss and adults in general can help make a change,turn the world upside down,forget the norms and then help Ss do the same
-
we do not know it. That's why I say it is a journey&we do not know where it will take us.
-
Agreed but too often theyre the only measure valued. They cant be the sole determinant of who knows what https://t.co/nhutR0FOW7
-
-
IMO, diagnostic assessments and other formative assessments are quite helpful.
-
Portfolios as learning stories
