    When I am embedded in a near miss. Meaning I am close to figuring it out. I’m collecting authentic formative feedback and adjusting my strategy. Sarah Lewis calls this a near miss. It’s why most people golf. #octmchat

    Don’t forget. Tracy Zager is coming to Cinci in the fall! #OCTMchat
  • jrsteach May 24 @ 8:36 PM EDT
    A1: comfy clothes, relaxed atmosphere, and a topic that is engaging! I also like to be able to collaborate while learning #octmchat
  • mlipnos May 24 @ 8:36 PM EDT
    Crap. A1 haha #octmchat
  • MATHuCarpenter May 24 @ 8:37 PM EDT
    A1: Positive environment where everyone has a voice in the solution. #OCTMchat
  • MissLovelyWE May 24 @ 8:37 PM EDT
    A1 When I’m comfortable and I feel like my attendance and the topic is my choice. #OCTMchat
  • BaileyJodie - Moderator May 24 @ 8:37 PM EDT
    A1: Some time to think by myself then talk with others. I often then need some more alone time to process and play with the ideas we discussed. It's a process for sure! #octmchat
  • EulersNephew May 24 @ 8:37 PM EDT
    A1. One necessary condition for learning is a personal investment in wanting to explore something based on what I am passionate about. #OCTMchat
  • mlepcampbell May 24 @ 8:37 PM EDT
    Open, productive and driven to solve a problem #octmchat
    In reply to @chrissybug24, @TracyZager
  • mlipnos May 24 @ 8:38 PM EDT
    #OCTMchat love the word positive
  • BTrue91 May 24 @ 8:38 PM EDT
    A1 - For me to learn, I need to be in an environment where I know my ideas will be received and discussed in a manner of positivity. Whether the ideas are right or wrong, I need to be met with facts and kindness, not lies and hostility. #OCTMchat

    Question 2 ~ Think about yourself as a teacher… what are YOUR most favorable conditions to teach? Be sure to begin your response with “A2” and include #OCTMchat @TracyZager
  • mlipnos May 24 @ 8:41 PM EDT
    #OCTMchat Hello Barb!!!
  • JacquiLehmkuhl May 24 @ 8:42 PM EDT
    Jacqui Lehmkuhl, Math Teacher who is grading and tweeting. Woohoo! A1 - I need passion, joy, and openness. #octmchat
  • Emilyndennett May 24 @ 8:42 PM EDT
    A2 I really like being in a classroom with windows that can open. I also like to be able to set up the space for group work. #octmchat
  • kathy25 May 24 @ 8:42 PM EDT
    Few restrictions, no textbook, open ended exploration, room full of excited learners A2 #OCTMchat
  • BTrue91 May 24 @ 8:43 PM EDT
    A2 - One where students are engaged, either in the content itself or as a “friend” where respect is mutual and they’re willing to entertain ideas even if the content isn’t their favorite. #OCTMchat
  • EulersNephew May 24 @ 8:43 PM EDT
    A2. An environment where grades are not a motivating factor for engagement. Collaboration and collegial critique push and challenge the classroom thinking forward. #OCTMchat
  • jrsteach May 24 @ 8:43 PM EDT
    A2: when it's inquiry based and I'm able to take children on the journey of learning through questioning and learning of a topic. It being student centered and discovery #OCTMchat
  • mlepcampbell May 24 @ 8:43 PM EDT
    A2: I love to teach anywhere anytime. As long as I can learn something, too #OCTMchat
  • mlipnos May 24 @ 8:43 PM EDT
    A2 when I have absolutely no control over student thinking. None. I vowed to never show a young person how or what to think 6 years ago. It’s been amazing for them, but I’ve learned more than ever! And we are all happy! #octmchat
  • mathbarb May 24 @ 8:44 PM EDT
    A2 Tough one. I love lots of people in workshops but I love doing demo lessons with the kids! #octmchat
  • mlipnos May 24 @ 8:45 PM EDT
    #OCTMchat I would love for you to see an experiment in Aurora. SitRep. Situational Reporting. No grades. Awesome.

  • MissLovelyWE May 24 @ 8:45 PM EDT
    A2 When I’m comfortable! I do my best teaching with the kids and I both like the content. I love when kids are chattering about the content at hand. It shows they’re engaged and processing! #OCTMchat
  • MATHuCarpenter May 24 @ 8:46 PM EDT
    A2: Relaxed...purpose driven...exploratory. #OCTMchat
  • kathy25 May 24 @ 8:46 PM EDT
    I would like to see that. @mlipnos #OCTMchat

    Question 3 is coming soon… #OCTMchat We just have 4 Questions tonight… we’ll be finished by 9:00 p.m. EST (unless you join the “afterchat” using “#OCTMchat”)
  • mathbarb May 24 @ 8:47 PM EDT
    I’m there for you next year!! #OCTMchat
    In reply to @MissLovelyWE
  • chrissybug24 May 24 @ 8:48 PM EDT
    Question 3 (see photo below) Be sure to begin your response with “A3” and include #OCTMchat @TracyZager
  • JacquiLehmkuhl May 24 @ 8:48 PM EDT
    A2: In a building where we push each other outside of our comfort zones and constantly try new and creative ideas. Air conditioning would be a bonus! #octmchat
  • MissLovelyWE May 24 @ 8:48 PM EDT
    That was a big lesson I learned last year. It was so loud in my room, and I was just getting ready to shush them, when I stopped and realized they were all on task! #OCTMchat
    In reply to @jrsteach
  • EulersNephew May 24 @ 8:49 PM EDT
    A3. By first offering PD that is supportive, dynamic, aspirational, and sustained? A lot of PD does not even satisfy half these qualities. #octmchat
  • BaileyJodie - Moderator May 24 @ 8:49 PM EDT
    A2: Creating an environment where Ss are driving the learning through questions, debates, and connecting. #octmchat
  • chrissybug24 May 24 @ 8:50 PM EDT
    I’m thankful for my Twitter PLN… chats are a great way to build your Twitter PLN! #OCTMchat #bettertogether @ohioctm #octmconnects
  • BaileyJodie - Moderator May 24 @ 8:50 PM EDT
    This is a great testimony for next week's #octmchat - Kids Can Teach Us!
    In reply to @mlipnos
  • BaileyJodie - Moderator May 24 @ 8:50 PM EDT
    Next week's #octmchat is Kids Can Teach Us! @mlipnos provides a great testimony for why this is important!
    • mlipnos May 24 @ 8:43 PM EDT
      A2 when I have absolutely no control over student thinking. None. I vowed to never show a young person how or what to think 6 years ago. It’s been amazing for them, but I’ve learned more than ever! And we are all happy! #octmchat
  • BTrue91 May 24 @ 8:51 PM EDT
    A3 - Make PD targeted to specific subjects and courses, rather than painting broad strokes to make it one size fits all. English teachers and math teachers don’t need the same PD when it may not even work for geometry and algebra the same. #OCTMchat
  • kathy25 May 24 @ 8:51 PM EDT
    Offer choice, including inspiring speakers, we follow Caves, Campfires., watering holes philosophy. A3 #OCTMchat
  • MissLovelyWE May 24 @ 8:51 PM EDT
    A3 @FHSchools has done a wonderful job at this! Giving teachers choice for how, when, and why is huge! I was able to count the #SWOCTMlearns conference as a PD session in exchange for a June PD day. #OCTMchat
  • mlipnos May 24 @ 8:51 PM EDT
    A3 treat our adult learners like our young people. Instead of telling or showing. Put them in situations where they have to figure out and be learners. We all need to push for more learning and build independence for adults. Me included. #octmchat
  • BaileyJodie - Moderator May 24 @ 8:52 PM EDT
    A3: Job-embedded PD is essential! Having a coach is a valuable way to provide this environment. I love learning alongside teachers and students! #octmchat
  • jrsteach May 24 @ 8:53 PM EDT
    A3: providing choice with our PD and being intentional about the PD as well #OCTMchat
  • mathbarb May 24 @ 8:53 PM EDT
    Can you tell us more about that philosophy? #octmchat
    In reply to @kathy25
  • EulersNephew May 24 @ 8:53 PM EDT
    A3. PD requires active, ongoing reflection and discussion. It can't be "sit and get". #OCTMchat
  • chrissybug24 May 24 @ 8:54 PM EDT
    Our last question is coming up… don’t forget to begin your response with A4 and include #OCTMchat
  • MissLovelyWE May 24 @ 8:54 PM EDT
    Who doesn’t love a good choose-your-own-adventure PD? #OCTMchat
    In reply to @kathy25
  • chrissybug24 May 24 @ 8:55 PM EDT
    Question 4 (see photo below) All students deserve the best space to learn and grow… all teachers deserve the best environment to teach… #OCTMchat @TracyZager
  • mathbarb May 24 @ 8:55 PM EDT
    A3 I’m with Jodie. Some of the greatest growth in teaching is being alongside teachers as their learning reflective coach. #octmchat
  • Emilyndennett May 24 @ 8:55 PM EDT
    A3 The best PD I've been apart of has been pretty informal and self-directed. #octmchat
  • kathy25 May 24 @ 8:56 PM EDT
    https://t.co/4CjEEUk2oR try this #octmchat @mathbarb.
    • mathbarb May 24 @ 8:53 PM EDT
      Can you tell us more about that philosophy? #octmchat
      In reply to @kathy25
  • Emilyndennett May 24 @ 8:57 PM EDT
    A4 Listen to students when they make suggestions for the classroom #octmchat
  • BTrue91 May 24 @ 8:57 PM EDT
    A4 - Set clear high expectations. One thing I think keeps students going and wanting to learn is knowing someone believes in them. One way this can be done is ensuring students don’t settle and making sure we’re pushing them to their highest ability. #OCTMchat
  • BaileyJodie - Moderator May 24 @ 8:58 PM EDT
    A4: I will continue to build relationships and environments where Ss feel free to ask questions and drive their own learning. #octmchat
  • jrsteach May 24 @ 8:58 PM EDT
    A4: continue being intentional about my lessons and continuing to provide inquiry based lessons for students to explore and discover the mathematics. Also, share my math passion with others! #OCTMchat
  • mlipnos May 24 @ 8:58 PM EDT
    Stop chasing answers. Focus only on process. Expand mathematics to more than computing. Engage young people in authentic meaningful ways. Play mathematically. All done by me carefully choosing situations. And finally. Love them! ALL!!!#octmchat
  • kathy25 May 24 @ 8:59 PM EDT
    A4 June4th is PD day for #WeAreFHSD. Great speakers, choices, or just take time to learn on ur own #OCTMchat
  • mlipnos May 24 @ 8:59 PM EDT
    #OCTMchat I love this
  • MissLovelyWE May 24 @ 8:59 PM EDT
    A4 I try to give students choice as often as possible. Not only are they more engaged, but when they aren’t we chat about the choice they made and how they could choose more wisely next time. I try to have multiple modalities available to learn the same skills. #OCTMchat
  • chrissybug24 May 24 @ 9:00 PM EDT
