@MrsKannekens hey commie great to see you again #sstlap

Chucktaft Dec 17 @ 9:12 PM EST

#sstlap A1 I DO assign homework - it's almost always prep for the next class - not graded - leads to activities in class and assessments

StudentsHistory Dec 17 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1 I assign homework to reinforce concepts we work on in class. Otherwise never enough time! #sstlap

EPatchak Dec 17 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1. I used to "do", now more often "I don't". Ss are more willing to take risks in learning when we are together. #collaborate #sstlap

@STLinOK Amy oh crud did I miss #Tlap that you hosted. So sorry. How did it go #sstlap

Chucktaft Dec 17 @ 9:13 PM EST

@classroomtools agree w/ Bill - a time factor - a flipped concept - do things that can be done outside of class, outside of class #sstlap

STLinOK Dec 17 @ 9:14 PM EST

A1: Not in on-level courses, but AP does get the reading assigned. W/ AP, I give a schedule of suggested pacing so Ss can juggle #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Dec 17 @ 9:14 PM EST

@Meems852 my other favorite Amy #sstlap

FHS_Anton Dec 17 @ 9:14 PM EST

@EPatchak I agree. Especially in social studies, we need to work together. I can understand it more for practice in math. #sstlap

MrsJones_Merton Dec 17 @ 9:14 PM EST

A1: If I could, I would never assign HW again. Get it done in school or wait until next day. Ss have so much to deal w/ nowadays. #sstlap

StudentsHistory Dec 17 @ 9:14 PM EST

A1 - I also use flipped hw occasionally to introduce content at home through videos then interact with content in class #sstlap

Ahh! Hey #sstlap Totally lost track of time here at the palace. How y'all doing? Matt from ATL, Ga.

Braz74 - Moderator Dec 17 @ 9:15 PM EST

Agreed - other aspect is if you do has to be meaningful and must give immediate feedback. #sstlap https://t.co/Uw2xmdOeKK

MrBarry628 Dec 17 @ 9:16 PM EST

A1: I don't assign too much HW, the HW I do assign has the intent on lasting them forever in US History #sstlap Mainly Timeline HW stuff

GauthierRebecca Dec 17 @ 9:16 PM EST

#sstlap only "HW" is if ss don't use time wisely in class.

MrsKannekens Dec 17 @ 9:16 PM EST

#sstlap A1: No homework for homework sake, but sometimes 5-10 minutes to finish up something we didn't quite get thru in class

Chucktaft Dec 17 @ 9:16 PM EST

#sstlap A1 I USED TO assign long study guides, collect and grade - because that's what I did in school - then I got a clue about teaching

jmadlin001 Dec 17 @ 9:16 PM EST

A1 I assign hw, but I use choice boards. I allow students class time b/c many have no internet/resources at home. #sstlap

@MrBarry628 Matthew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hello friend! It's been way too long! How are you? Hope you are well! #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Dec 17 @ 9:17 PM EST

@Chucktaft that is the key part not graded- HW is practice you don't grade practice you give feedback. #sstlap

FHS_Anton Dec 17 @ 9:17 PM EST

@STLinOK Agree w/ this. Ss in upper-level courses should learn to work through outside reading. My Dual Cred Am. Hst. is run same. #sstlap

MrBarry628 Dec 17 @ 9:17 PM EST

A1: We create a lot of Google Docs together in class which they use while doing their HW - Creating presidential outlines #sstlap

Chucktaft Dec 17 @ 9:17 PM EST

@MrsKannekens yup - never homework for homework's sake - homework doesn't have a sake, right? #sstlap

MrBarry628 Dec 17 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2: We only allow redos if a student gets below a 70. I generally do not get a lot of Ss taking the opp. to do it...Dunno why.. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Dec 17 @ 9:18 PM EST

@StudentsHistory do you grade it? Do you give immediate feedback? What does HW consist of/look like #sstlap

MrBarry628 Dec 17 @ 9:18 PM EST

@MrsJones_Merton Tomorrow at 12:30 pm...DONE! Just gave my midterm today! Ss didn't do as hot as I thought they would #sstlap

classroomtools Dec 17 @ 9:18 PM EST

A2 As I matured as a teacher, I definitely allowed redos. Since HW was meaningful, I wanted them to perfect their work. #sstlap

FHS_Anton Dec 17 @ 9:18 PM EST

@StudentsHistory The key is occasional to not overload or have s's lose seeing the value of hw when assigned. Must be meaningful #sstlap

MrsJones_Merton Dec 17 @ 9:18 PM EST

A2: I used to allow redoes all the time. Upper grades said they don't so we needed to stop. #sstlap Not sure how I feel on this one.

STLinOK Dec 17 @ 9:18 PM EST

A2: Yes, I do. However it's not just a free pass. "hoops" for retakes, but open to all. Learning has no timeline #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Dec 17 @ 9:18 PM EST

@kiddielitprof nice that's right you don't travel alone. Always have peeps. #sstlap

MrBarry628 Dec 17 @ 9:18 PM EST

A2: Re-dos are generally papers or major grades...Never HW stuff... #sstlap

GauthierRebecca Dec 17 @ 9:18 PM EST

#sstlap redos are huge. We need to learn from our mistakes! We just need to show that we have learned.

Chucktaft Dec 17 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2 #sstlap huge on the reassessment this year - push for mastery - some Ss worry more about grade, but they will improve content/ skill

MrsJones_Merton Dec 17 @ 9:19 PM EST

@MrBarry628 I hate it when that happens! But, hey...congratulations on break tomorrow! #awesomesauce! We go until next Tuesday. #sstlap

FHS_Anton Dec 17 @ 9:19 PM EST

@kiddielitprof College is a quite different scenario. Most prep should be done outside of class to take full advantage of classtime. #sstlap

MrsKannekens Dec 17 @ 9:19 PM EST

#sstlap Same. For big projects, most of the work is at home over a few weeks, with regular check in points https://t.co/xS0sLgItu8

FHS_Anton Dec 17 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1 cont'd: That being said, I expect s's to make time for long-term assignments outside of class. #sstlap

Chucktaft Dec 17 @ 9:20 PM EST

@MrBarry628 neither do I, Matt - most Ss take the first assessment (went to #sbg this year, instead of points/grades) #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Dec 17 @ 9:20 PM EST

@EPatchak I used to too but did it to offset tests dumb do better prepping for test and allow redoes- #sstlap

@Braz74 flipped lessons I won't grade but by talking to the Ss I know which did and did not complete then talk to those who don't #sstlap

MrBarry628 Dec 17 @ 9:20 PM EST

Hey @Chucktaft I don't have a lot of Ss do poorly (Private School Problems right?) But if they do, its a concern #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Dec 17 @ 9:21 PM EST

@Chucktaft @classroomtools whatever you do has to be meaningful. #sstlap

FHS_Anton Dec 17 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2: Torn and kicking this around. I'm not fan of test retaking, but am for revisions on projects, etc. as part of process #sstlap

cheffernan75 Dec 17 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2 Redos are a part of life - Ss can redo the ACT/SAT, driver test, LSAT, etc. How arrogant am I to not offer the same chance?#sstlap

Chucktaft Dec 17 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2 #sstlap no redos on HW, cuz it isn't graded - only reassess on formal learning targets

EPatchak Dec 17 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2. I do, my district mandates a policy. Ss motivation 1st time is a struggle. To fix this, I try "choose your own assessment". #sstlap

Chucktaft Dec 17 @ 9:22 PM EST

@MrBarry628 same issue Matt #sstlap

MrBarry628 Dec 17 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2: I do tell the Ss about study guides and re-dos that "SOMETIMES life ain't fair kids and you don't get a redo in life"...#sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Dec 17 @ 9:22 PM EST

I agreed more expectations. No matter how you sit on HW learning tasks need to be meaningful. #sstlap https://t.co/GXzVPxtaOR

katie_graven Dec 17 @ 9:23 PM EST

#sstlap a2 yes for redos. Ss want to do better. Even if it's only one question, they correct it it. I like test corrections instantly.

cheffernan75 Dec 17 @ 9:30 PM EST

We do need to be wary of Ts who use tech just to use tech. The tech must be a natural part of learning, but an addendum to it. #sstlap

MrsKannekens Dec 17 @ 9:30 PM EST

#sstlap Agreed, but if the same kid uses the cop out strategy a few times, I do pull the plug. Important lesson too https://t.co/sOjJhn9WZj

@MrsKannekens some use retakes as a cop out, but should that stop others who learn differently? #sstlap

@STLinOK Yes. This is key for successful tech implementation. I think it has most value as personalized research/creation tool #sstlap

MrBarry628 Dec 17 @ 9:34 PM EST

A4: OK Guilty. I lecture. But it is 100% Direct Instruction lecture with TONS of Q & A and discussion. TONS #sstlap

STLinOK Dec 17 @ 9:34 PM EST

A4: I do, but we do it more as a convo. LOTS of trad Ts in my dept, Ss have to be trained to ask "why". Crazy stories help too #sstlap

@EPatchak Erin nailed it! #sstlap that's a pirate right there - gotta sweat a little if you are talking about Teddy Roosevelt - he did.

Is storytelling different from lecturing, or are they connected? #sstlap

FHS_Anton Dec 17 @ 9:37 PM EST

@MrBarry628 That's key. S's should have basic knowledge before lecture so that they can contribute, lead, & ask qs that need clarity #sstlap

@Braz74 A6 because Twitter is a fantastic tool for learning, collaborating, newsgathering, connecting, and overall socializing :) #sstlap

A7 #sstlap considering I average $1.88 a month on TPT, I might as well share everything - plus, it's good edukarma

A7 In my exp., the only way I ever found to grow as a teacher was to share & collaborate. Even now, old habits are hard to break. #sstlap

@Mr_B_Teacher Good night, Justin! See you next time! #sstlap

A7 Students benefit from teams of adults working together, not individual teachers working alone. #sstlap

A7 Ideas aren't completely original anymore, you take, learn, tweak, and improve. Can't without collaboration. #hoardandyoumissout #sstlap

Chucktaft Dec 17 @ 9:58 PM EST

A7 #sstlap still looking to collaborate even more - Ss will love it - @wdpiper is a master of global collab https://t.co/xwqCwJPtBU
