  • LcglickmanLynn Jun 6 @ 8:00 PM EDT
    Lynn Glickman, Asst. Sup. for HR, CCSD21, I believe that we all must contribute, to make a positive difference for others. Becoming an educator was my way of doing that. (I could say it fancier, but it all boils down to this for me.) #suptchat

    Hi #suptchat! Thanks for hosting tn's discussion on such an important topic. A1: Public schooling is the backbone of our democracy. We need an educated constituency to ensure that government is of the people and for the people. #LovePublicEducation
  • npolyak - Moderator Jun 6 @ 8:04 PM EDT

  • DominicManola Jun 6 @ 8:04 PM EDT
    A1: The purpose of public ed is to level the playing field for students from countless diverse backgrounds. Our "why" is that we believe all students should be given opportunities to find what they love and the skills, tools and abilities to do it and do it well. #SuptChat
  • datiepriest Jun 6 @ 8:04 PM EDT

    Hey #suptchat amigos. Dinner with the family running late. Will check in when I can.
  • paddlingsupt Jun 6 @ 8:08 PM EDT
    A2: Sadly it has become about aligning coursework to prepare kids for state tests or the ACT/SAT. Offering more around student passion and interest though. #suptchat
  • mikelubelfeld - Moderator Jun 6 @ 8:08 PM EDT
    A2 #suptchat creative options exist but are few and far between -- it should not be "novel" to integrate ELA and social studies for example. The curricular WHY should be based on standards and experience -- choice/relevance - ASK students too
  • Erik_Youngman Jun 6 @ 8:08 PM EDT
    A2 #SuptChat State #standards AND valued skills should guide scope & sequence. For example, grade level content standards can guide learning while modeling & empowering valued skills like #character, #citizenship, #communication, #critical thinking, #collaboration & #creativity.
  • DukesBrian Jun 6 @ 8:08 PM EDT
    In and out tonight. Ball game tonight. A1-Making sure this generation has a better opportunity than the last #suptchat

  • Dale_Chu Jun 6 @ 8:08 PM EDT
    A1: Lots of different answers, I think. Is it to prepare students to participate in our democracy? To succeed in the workforce? To be college ready? To be lifelong learners? Some of these WHY's are in tension with one another. #suptchat
    In reply to @mikelubelfeld
  • npolyak - Moderator Jun 6 @ 8:09 PM EDT
    A2: We are realizing that curriculum doesn't = textbooks anymore. The best choices are a blend of resources that can evolve and change over time. #suptchat

  • MCSDSuper Jun 6 @ 8:10 PM EDT
    A2: The curricular why for me is to help stretch the visionary minds of Ss to imagine what could be. So let's re-imagine our curriculum. #ReadySetGo #suptchat #MiddieRising

    A3 it think standards drive that #suptchat
    In reply to @npolyak
  • Shapiro_WTHS Jun 6 @ 8:11 PM EDT
    A1 - There is the typical book answer. Or the answer that truly means something. We have public education to help children and teens develop a passion in interests that may shape their future. Also to provide them the tools necessary for a successful transition.#suptchat
  • donald_gately Jun 6 @ 8:11 PM EDT
    A2 Curriculum should be based on essential questions, enduring understandings, relevant higher order thinking skills. think :UBD @jaymctighe #suptchat
  • mikelubelfeld - Moderator Jun 6 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    Q3: Why is it vital to engage with and collaborate with your community stakeholders? #SuptChat
  • LcglickmanLynn Jun 6 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    A3 Because we can't possibly educate our students without the support of the community. Simply put, we must all be in this thing together. #suptchat
  • DukesBrian Jun 6 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    A2-Our why is always decided on what's best for our Ss and Ts. We align with state standards but focus more on soft skills and problem solving. More than ever. #suptchat

    A2: Does it make Ss think critically and creatively? Will our Ss develop new skills, understanding and competencies? Is it relevant?#suptchat
  • nathan_stevens Jun 6 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    A2 too much gets driven by the end of grade tests. Kids gotta score well #suptchat
    In reply to @npolyak
  • Dale_Chu Jun 6 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    Maybe Lynn. But I do believe the disagreements we have around education issues can be traced back to this fundamental question. #suptchat
    In reply to @LcglickmanLynn, @mikelubelfeld
  • EScottEngland Jun 6 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    A3: We work hard to make sure there are no silos in our schools with teachers. Why then should the school be a silo in the community? We must tap into community resources, knowledge, expertise, and assistance. #suptchat

  • DominicManola Jun 6 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    A3: It is VITAL to collaborate and engage with the community because simply, we are all in this together. No one operates on an island, and the most successful schools have great partnerships with the community. We strive for this everyday and are always growing! #suptchat
  • mikelubelfeld - Moderator Jun 6 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    A3 #suptchat Community Stakeholders have vast resources that can support and help in student learning beyond the classroom -- it takes the right villagers in the village - reach out

  • dtfrusher Jun 6 @ 8:13 PM EDT

    A3: Our community sends us their two most vital resources: their children and their tax dollars. It's imperative that we honor that responsibility as we learn from and collaborate with our community. #suptchat
  • AASADan Jun 6 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    A3: We need to ensure that we have the support of the community as we make decisions in the best interest of our students. The tenure of the superintendent is short enough without ignoring and excluding the communities we serve. #suptchat
  • DukesBrian Jun 6 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    A3-We started meeting with the business community this year to share our story and get feedback from them. Starting at an earlier age to prepare for the unknown. #suptchat
  • Glennr1809 Jun 6 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    A3: as a “public” school, we are the heart of the community, where people send their most prized possessions each day. We owe it to them to be transparent, and dedicated to providing our best as a team to improve “our” children #suptchat #HowMightWe
  • DominicManola Jun 6 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    So true. If our goal is to develop young people who are prepared to do good, then we have to make sure we are preparing our staff to do the same, which also means giving them opportunities to step outside the box and take chances. #Suptchat

  • InsightEdGroup Jun 6 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    Too often we have seen the promise of PLCs go unfulfilled. What can we do to change that? https://t.co/DoGOHlwFlu #STEPPLC #suptchat #edleadership @StricktlyJason
  • Shapiro_WTHS Jun 6 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    A2 - Hopefully this is being driven by content that’s skill oriented. Too often we forget the world that students have access to. We must drive their imagination above what’s just in a power point or lecture. #suptchat
  • JeffThake Jun 6 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    Q3: Why is it vital to engage with and collaborate with your community stakeholders? #suptchat A3: Community engagement leads to real-life learning opportunities for students. Redefining Ready framework suggests community projects for all students. #suptchat

    A3: Working together to achieve is the path for engagement in the classroom and with the community - everyone needs to buy in #suptchat #LovePublicEducation
  • datiepriest Jun 6 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    A2. I think the curricular why is to use our best practices to embrace and facilitate growth over absolute for learners. Education evolves as quickly as we can identify and assess trends via the research and/or our experiences. #suptchat
  • nathan_stevens Jun 6 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    A3 because schools can’t do it on their own. It takes a community to raise a child and it takes more than a school to teach future leaders #suptchat

  • Greg_A_Gardner Jun 6 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    A3: jumping in on a great topic... the larger community of stakeholders include outstanding community leaders, business leaders, and innovators. Connecting our Ss, teachers, and curriculum to real world opportunities can make it “living” for so many students #suptchat

    Absolutely PJ! #suptchat
    In reply to @MCUSDSupe
  • EScottEngland Jun 6 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    A4: We are far removed from the days where educators ran the show and were the keepers of knowledge. We must include student voice so we know that what we're teaching is relevant to our students. #suptchat
  • Erik_Youngman Jun 6 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    A4 #SuptChat #Student #voice and their unique #perspectives can guide #continuous #learning #improvement that typically focuses on students. #Student #voice develops #ownership of their #school & #learning, & #pride in the #change & #collaboration process.

    A5: Sometimes our athletic offerings are one of the few things that some of our students have success in. Without athletics and the need to remain eligible to participate, some of our students would never graduate. #SuptChat
  • NGMSTrojansAP Jun 6 @ 8:50 PM EDT
    A4: that is awesome! Yes I’m stealing it if that’s allowed?😳 #suptchat
  • jonbartelt Jun 6 @ 8:51 PM EDT
