Q1: Dr.Greene connects the ALSUP to & refers to CPS as “a living, breathing plan of action” (p.252). Share 1 way you can use ALSUP & CPS to guide your thinking & communication with parents when writing progress notes, report card remarks & visions/goals for Next IEPs? #LostAtNPS
A1: #LostAtNPS ALSUP & CPS can help pinpoint concrete examples of how T & S partnership helps to ID challenges & develop plan for building skills/strategies to support success and overcome barriers. Together we are Superheros!
A1: Our feedback to Ps should stretch beyond a letter grade. Why not include a rubric of SEL skills, self-advocacy skills and peer relations? Our kids are more than just a grade. #LostAtNPS
A1 #LostAtNPS Using the ALSUP and CPS will help T be more specific and help guide examples when discussing S behavior and performance in the school setting
#LostAtNPS A1 using ALSUP as a guide to determine skills that should be focused on in the IEP...social/emotional, transition goals...showing parents that we are focusing on behavioral skills that need to be developed

#LostAtNPS Q1. I’m thinking about ALL students having Individual Learning Plans for each class! Master Teachers already do this! How? By looking at each students individual needs and less about tests!
A1: Have conversations with parents and students, especially when it comes to goals. The plan of building skills and strategies should be known to all that interact with those Ss. #LostAtNPS
A1 When emailing parents, I always ask if they have any ideas on how I can better support their children. That way, they know my main goal is to help and that I want to work as a team! #LostAtNPS
A1: The fact that we can utilize Plan B and ALSUPs to communicat with parents make it even more real than I ever thought CPS could be! We can certainly use Plan B to address parents’ concerns and our own concerns. Let’s collaborate to help your children! #LostAtNPS
Using the ALSUP to guide transition planning and the TPF! Awesome ideas from @jessica_iozzi as we try to pair what we learn reading Lost At School to practical use in our day to day. #LostAtNPS
#LostAtNPS A1 using ALSUP as a guide to determine skills that should be focused on in the IEP...social/emotional, transition goals...showing parents that we are focusing on behavioral skills that need to be developed
A1. First, use ALSUP to ID skills for IEP. Then, CPS can guide convo with Ss in order to document progress and to report to parents. It's an ongoing dialogue. #LostatNPS
A1. This would certainly show parents and Ss that we really do try to get to know each and every one of our "school kids." Would be nice to be able to report on their SEL periodically and track that throughout the Ss school career to be able to easily ID blips. #LostAtNPS
#LostAtNPS
A1 The ALSUP can be used at meetings, conferences etc...to help you pinpoint areas other than academics that you are working on/plan to work on. Helps you collaborate with parents as much as with the students and colleagues.
#lostatnps Identifying lagging skills using the ALSUP and implementing CPS will show a child's progress over time...as a plan is created and Ss learn the skills that are lagging. This conveys much more information that just a letter on a progress report/report card.

#LOSTATNPS
A1 The ALSUP can lead to a good social skills goal, and also the ALSUP can help identify what is needed to work on an academic goal, such as: providing Ss with a quiet place to read, the student will be able to independently read 2pgs & write 2 main ideas w/2 details

A1 Allows the teacher a chance to provide concrete examples to parents/guardians on strategies that the student and teacher are working on together. #LostAtNPS
IEP's are developed by the TEAM - parents are part of this team, parents are also part of the CPS model, The ASLUP provides data, an IEP is data driven #LostAtNPS
A1: Have conversations with parents and students, especially when it comes to goals. The plan of building skills and strategies should be known to all that interact with those Ss. #LostAtNPS
Yes! Why reserve individual feedback for only a few? As a proud Lancer parent, I would welcome an individual plan to help my kids thrive! This would help us catch lagging SEL skills early too! #LostAtNPS
A1 I used the ALSUP to determine that a student was having difficulty remaining focused in the afternoon due to not eating lunch. We used PLAN B to brainstorm lunch ideas for mom to shop for him and that he could pack. We emailed his mom together. #LostAtNPS
A1. Here’s an example from yesterday from Remind of how I’m using Plan B and involving parents. Gone are the days we only met in Nov and March! Be proactive. #LostAtNPS
Often lagging skills overlap between home and school. I imagine parents responding positively and making home/school connections-Joey’s mom did and began plan B at home. #LostAtNPS
A1: Would work tremendously well for emailing families at the high school level since there’s more room for dialogue. Great way to touch base, create plan, and follow up #LostAtNPS
Q2: We read “what it looks like” when a school has “arrived” w/ process working w/ challenging Ss. 1 aspect is establishing “structures” for sustainability. As book study winds down, would U like a “slow twitter chat” as a sustainability tool moving forward? Explain. #LostAtNPS
A1. First, use ALSUP to ID skills for IEP. Then, CPS can guide convo with Ss in order to document progress and to report to parents. It's an ongoing dialogue. #LostatNPS
A2: #LostAtNPS a slow twitter chat would be effective for building teams to support each other as we begin to rollout this process of differentiated discipline

A1: I like the idea of using the ALSUP and CPS model to help support the S’s, T’s and P’s. It is useful info to have when writing and updating goals and for report card time, seeing that there will be visual progress over time. #LostAtNPS
#lostatnps A2: Sure! I think this would be a great way for us Lost At School book study peeps to stay connected as we impart information we've learned to other NPS staff members.
ALSUP is a starting point for thinking about modifications and accommodations to support a student while they navigate their road of skill building.#LostAtNPS

#LostAtNPS A1 having done 2 regular Twitter chats I would be up to try a slow Twitter chat... Especially because we would not be locked into a certain time...8:30 is my bedtime lol!
A2 A "slow twitter chat" is a great idea to brainstorm strategies to help teachers deal with challenging students and share ideas that are working with each other. #LostAtNPS
A1: A "living breathing plan" means that we are looking at the S as an individual, not just one of many. We are creating a tailor-made plan for just that S. Ps can feel our genuine desire to see their S succeed, and that we are partners in working towards that goal. #LostAtNPS
A2: Not opposed to occasional slow chat as a way to follow up/encourage one another on the Lost strategies. However, also wouldn’t want us to feel so tied in to this study for a long haul that we are less flexible in joining another study or a different chat group. #LostAtNPS
A2: I think Google Classroom is a great forum, personally! It provides for more depth of conversation, and I’ve loved learning more about colleagues’ perspectives in other schools. #LostAtNPS
A2. A slow twitter chat would be beneficial, esp. since we are in different schools throughout the district. It still allows us to support each other even if we can't meet face-to-face #LostatNPS
A2 I think a Slow twitter chat would help us all stay connected, continue the converstations, have help when needed, discuss ideas. Somewhere for us to check in. #lostatnps
IEP's are developed by the TEAM - parents are part of this team, parents are also part of the CPS model, The ASLUP provides data, an IEP is data driven #LostAtNPS
A2: A slow Twitter chat will be a great way to touch base on the progress towards implementing CPS throughout NPS. I would love to see this new way of thinking further explored. Perhaps making it a goal for Department coordinators, team leaders and administrators?#LostAtNPS
#LostAtNPS A2: I think a slow Twitter chat is a good idea. I love going on Twitter anyway! It’s where I get all “my good ideas” 😉 so i think it’s even better when I actually know the people I’m reading/responding to.

Q2. Let’s organize a one day (voluntary of course) follow up for June 22nd where we use Day like a EdCamp but on our work..I’ll provide food and goodies and some prizes, Just Thinking! #LostAtNPS

I "follow" some slow PE chats and by "follow" I mean read through some ideas. Maybe our slow chat could be used that way? More as a guide for those that might not have time time or desire to respond? #lostatnps
A2: I have loved our chats but would also welcome a less public forum. We’ve all been so positive, which is great, but what happens when we need one another to brainstorm real ALSUP issues? We need to feel like we have a shared space to be honest and candid. #lostatnps

Q3: Reflecting back on Chapters 1-8, what does this poem picture mean to you? What aspects of Plan B do you see as most important or impactful if the student who wrote this poem showed up in your classroom tomorrow? #LostAtNPS
A2: I also think to make these strategies a reality, we need to get our building admin on board. I say we bring Lost at NPS to faculty meetings and PD opportunities. #LostAtNPS@NortonSchools
A3.This vid is the first thing that I thought of when I read the meme. Gr. 8 implemented "Ready to Learn" after seeing @JackBereckmeyer (he rocks!) at NELMS. The most important piece of PB is making real and meaningful connections with our Ss. #LostAtNPShttps://t.co/mAmsCgxuXA
A3: #LostAtNPS For me, it is the empathy step. This poem reminds me how very important it is to leave assumptions at the door and to be present in each moment taking a collaborative approach to as much as possible.
#lostatnps A2: Sure! I think this would be a great way for us Lost At School book study peeps to stay connected as we impart information we've learned to other NPS staff members.
A2. Yes. It is great way to connect with colleagues. Tonight in my SEI class we practiced "mock" parent teacher conferences with an avitar. I found myself referring to Plan B. #LostAtNPS
A3 I love this poem and it makes me feel better about sometimes using “differentiated discipline.” Sometimes, a student’s test scores simply have to take the back burner. Hierarchy of needs! #LostAtNPS
LOVE the idea of a slow chat! Sometimes when I do these Thursday night chats I feel like I'm trying to frantically get my thoughts out as fast as I can and don't always convey everything I'd like to. Also likely b/c I'm somewhat of a Twitter newbie... :) #LostAtNPS
A3. Empathy is most important with a student like this. Survival is his #1 priority. His teacher needs to focus on the empathy step or they've lost him. #LostatNPS
#LostAtNPS A3: Reminding myself that this child has a social/emotional disability and identifying lagging skills, collaborating with the child and family, and reaching solutions will most likely trump academics at first.
A2-I've learned so much from this group and would welcome continuation but agree that face to face opportunities will add depth and build confidence.#LostAtNPS
Q3: Reflecting back on Chapters 1-8, what does this poem picture mean to you? What aspects of Plan B do you see as most important or impactful if the student who wrote this poem showed up in your classroom tomorrow? #LostAtNPS
A3: Our students...every one of them...are who are most important to us and the reason why we teach. It’s important for us to understand that every kid we have the honor of teaching has a story and a reason behind his/her/their actions #LostAtNPS
#LostAtNPS A3 we only see SS for a brief part of their lives...there are many things impacting them outside our classroom,by using empathetic listening we can discover more about what the SS is going through outside our classroom walls and how it impacting their success with us
I’m nominating @JSkowronekNMS and @MrsMcGarryNMS to put together an idea for us to all consider for a follow up- My idea, Coffee idea etc let’s go I want to see some leadership for improving all we do because it’s never over; show me, tell me, make me say YES! #LostatNPS
A3: Powerful message! How many times we ain’t have a clue about our students’ difficulties that they face daily! This is why we need to fill our hearts with empathy and fish deep down into behaviors that we don’t understand! #LostAtNPS
So sad, great poem, from the heart & this kid is driven....EMPATHY, pencils are cheap, I always stock up, as parents we "pick our battles", teachers can too #LostAtNPS
A3 Speaking as an adult child who had a chaotic upbringing. What makes the most difference for a kid whose parents repeatedly let them down are adults with integrity. To build trust... words must be followed by action... structures. #LostAtNPS
A3 I love this poem and it makes me feel better about sometimes using “differentiated discipline.” Sometimes, a student’s test scores simply have to take the back burner. Hierarchy of needs! #LostAtNPS
A3: Yes!! Ready to Learn was a great implementation. Let’s not fight over pencils. Get to the learning. Who knows what hell these kids have been through before they get to us? Give the kids a stinkin’ pencil! Pick your fights. Show kindness. #LostAtNPS
#LostAtNPS A3: Reminding myself that this child has a social/emotional disability and identifying lagging skills, collaborating with the child and family, and reaching solutions will most likely trump academics at first.
Q3. Ok #LostatNPS my answer to the poem...stop the nonsense; take the teachable moments to the next level; amd remember YOU (Teacher) have bad days too! We are in the people business.
A3 My heart went out as I thought about how often this poem really comes to life. I always keep pencils on hand to give to my students when they need one. #LOSTATNPS
A2 I think a Slow twitter chat would help us all stay connected, continue the converstations, have help when needed, discuss ideas. Somewhere for us to check in. #lostatnps
A3 There is more there, you need to look closely. Ask questions, don't just assume that everything is ok. I thought of empathy too. That we need to look deeper. #lostatnps
A2: A slow Twitter chat will be a great way to touch base on the progress towards implementing CPS throughout NPS. I would love to see this new way of thinking further explored. Perhaps making it a goal for Department coordinators, team leaders and administrators?#LostAtNPS
A3: This poem reminds us all to see the big picture, empathize, and understand that our students have lives outside of school that we don’t know about. #LostAtNPS
A3: ALL empathy. Throw all assumptions right out the window and approach each S & situation w/ an open mind. Ts have to remember there is SO much we don't know about our Ss lives and there is NO place for assumptions. U know what they say about the word ASS-U-ME...haha #LostAtNPS
A3 The poem gives voice to the students who often don't speak up because it hasn't been politically correct or welcomed. Hopefully, we will put a change to that. #LostAtNPS
Face to face conversations add important dimension to conversation that is started on a digital PLN platform. It's all about balance and flexible relationships that can go with the flow. #LostAtNPS
