@mrstbauerly - And the struggle as a teacher to decide if it is a "I can't" or a "I won't" #MTedchat

CoxC_ Feb 9 @ 10:09 PM EST

A1: Developmentally behind their peers. Lacking letter/number knowledge. #MTedchat

@GruntledChalkie That is an area I would LOVE to get to one day! #mtedchat

mrstbauerly Feb 9 @ 10:26 PM EST

A3: Give Ss choice in their learning. Stop giving busy work and homework. Get to know Ss & incorporate their interests #MTedchat

GruntledChalkie Feb 9 @ 10:26 PM EST

I once had a S in distress who showed it by working harder and immersing themselves in their work #MTedchat

kinsey80 Feb 9 @ 10:26 PM EST

Q3. I believe engagement strategies should be taught and on eval. #MTedchat

ChemLes Feb 9 @ 10:27 PM EST

#MTedchat A3: I think the answer is good teaching, just like every other S in that class deserves. Good Ts will do whatever it takes

MrHagemeister Feb 9 @ 10:27 PM EST

A3: Learning by doing. Build a relationsh, allow the Ss to choose and let student work with each other. Mindful facilitation #MTedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Feb 9 @ 10:27 PM EST

A3: Sitting down w/a S & having a conversation about a game they are playing helps make the connection, resulting in engagement #MTedchat

lenessakeehn Feb 9 @ 10:27 PM EST

@izzaboo @cnansen I know! That's how I felt with Craig told me about it! LOL I use it all the time now! #mtedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Feb 9 @ 10:28 PM EST

A3 Adding more student choice & play based learning inspires engagement, coding opportunities, maker spaces inspire creativity #MTedchat

kinsey80 Feb 9 @ 10:28 PM EST

A3 advisory is a great way to engage students. Clubs athletics and our music programs engage. We try to have something for all #MTedchat

jarvisplc Feb 9 @ 10:28 PM EST

A3: "Rigid Flexibility" when S is so far behind they cant catch up -choose different aves of "proof of learning"i.e., verbal exams #MTedchat

izzaboo Feb 9 @ 10:29 PM EST

@lenessakeehn evidence you're not at-risk. heheh @cnansen #MTedchat

@cristama and @TriSciCurious Sorry I need to bow out early; kids need tucked into bed & lunches packed. I look forward to archive! #mtedchat

@lenessakeehn @TriSciCurious Totally understand, my friend #mtedchat

izzaboo Feb 9 @ 10:30 PM EST

@cristama A3) decide it is okay to step away from the play book and even switch up curricula to increase engagement/interest. #MTedchat

GruntledChalkie Feb 9 @ 10:30 PM EST

@cristama In my case I would call a tweet with a typo just a normal tweet #MTedchat
