  • learnwithmaria Oct 25 @ 9:38 PM EDT
    Love this! #eduAR
  • mjjohnson1216 Oct 25 @ 9:38 PM EDT
    A1. Celebrate the small things! #EDUar
  • SavageLizabeth Oct 25 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    A1: Everything! Every child is working at a different pace so celebrate the little milestones that sometimes feel like huge leaps for them! #EduAR
  • mjjohnson1216 Oct 25 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    A1. Let's celebrate students! Just look at this young lady's smile as she shares a recent accomplishment. #EDUar
  • clegleiter Oct 25 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    A1. Students and staff who try new experiences, stretch themselves and if not successful- how they get back up, reflect and try again. Support each other makes us stronger. #eduAR
  • bethhill2829 - Moderator Oct 25 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    So true. Celebrations are different for every child (and adult). Knowing where people are helps us understand how and what to celebrate in others. #EduAR
    • SavageLizabeth Oct 25 @ 9:39 PM EDT
      A1: Everything! Every child is working at a different pace so celebrate the little milestones that sometimes feel like huge leaps for them! #EduAR

    Celebrating staff who reach out for help. That's huge for some! #EduAR
  • bethhill2829 - Moderator Oct 25 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    Yes! Sometimes we celebrate response to failure, and someone's ability to keep persisting! #EduAR

  • bethhill2829 - Moderator Oct 25 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    A2: I love to celebrate the learning of teachers in our PLCs by sharing on social media. It helps our families and the community get a glimpse of the dedication they have toward improving themselves for our kids. #EduAR

  • MrCoachEli Oct 25 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A2 @KaganOnline has taught me the value of celebrations through things like “cheers” throughout the day and instruction. Other ways are #GoodNewsCallOfTheDay, staff recognition, special treats, notes of appreciation/recognition/gratitude #EduAR

    A2 I always celebrate the amazing things kids do by telling them personally how proud I am of them. When they go above & beyond, I like to surprise them with a small gift. Milestones remembered. With staff, a card, a coffee, a special surprise. I want them to feel valued. #eduAR

    A2: affirmations when we see behavior that we appreciate or that should be continued. I like the idea of celebrating learning from mistakes, but making it safe to express is difficult. #eduar
  • clegleiter Oct 25 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    A3. Our staff is doing a “Kindness Bingo” board to promote kindness within our school. We know “it starts w/ us” - if we model kindness then kids will follow. It’s been great. #eduAR

    A3. In several different schools we created a Wall of Honor to celebrate the lives of veterans. Students took home a form that lead to discussions about relatives who served our country. <-- One of the best kinds of homework assignments (home/school connection). #EDUar
  • stevenhelmick Oct 25 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    A3: I think is important to celebrate success; however I also feel that it is crucial to celebrate risk-taking in students stretching themselves to try new and challenging things. Celebrating this fosters a culture of growth and freedom to fail forward! #eduAR
  • T3achingWorst Oct 25 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    A3: By extending the celebration you are intensifying the learning sensation caused by the creation. #EduAR
  • learnwithmaria Oct 25 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    What about an idea of Goal Action Plan? As a class create one and have each student create one. Modeling a tool that will benefit al stakeholders. #EduAR

      A3: I think is important to celebrate success; however I also feel that it is crucial to celebrate risk-taking in students stretching themselves to try new and challenging things. Celebrating this fosters a culture of growth and freedom to fail forward! #eduAR

    A3 As you celebrate others, invite them to go further. Challenge them. Share their learning globally to have them further reflect on work and be proud. Share pics/vids/artefacts with parents & community. Make things purposeful & authentic. #eduAR

    A3: We celebrate "Goal Getters" at Pinewood! (adutls and children) get the ring the bell. We have no classroom walls at our school so the entire school stops and celebrates when the bell rings. It is awesome! #eduar

    A3 Giving them a sense of pride of validation goes a long way. By doing this it provides them with a feeling of satisfaction and helps with sustaining culture and also because who doesn’t like feeling validated and cared for or worthy? #EduAR
  • ChrisEubanks7 Oct 25 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    A3: build a culture where celebrations are made for those who achieve the “and some” by learning that is beyond. #eduar
  • NowakRo Oct 25 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    A4 I would like to see a community effort aligned with school’s mission/vision to celebrate everyone. Do not make it the responsibility of a few. Have everyone take part in celebrations. If we want our members to be valued, have everyone celebrate & build each other up. #eduAR
  • bethhill2829 - Moderator Oct 25 @ 10:00 PM EDT
    A4: I would love to see more celebration of colleagues and kids through social media! We have several teachers who are very comfortable with this, and I want that level of comfort for everyone. #EduAR
  • mjjohnson1216 Oct 25 @ 10:00 PM EDT
    A4. During my travels as a principal one school strongly wanted end of quarter award's assemblies and another felt just as strongly the other direction. Interesting how school culture dictates some of our decisions. #EDUar
  • SavageLizabeth Oct 25 @ 10:00 PM EDT
    A3: My Ss came up with a solution for our mosquito problem. The solution... get bat houses. They thought about how to pay for it by designing a product we could sell in our bookstore. We celebrated their by actually 3D printing their product! #EduAR
  • ChrisEubanks7 Oct 25 @ 10:00 PM EDT
    A3b: we have a few rooms where character building cards are available to give students ideas to do kind things. #eduar
  • MrCoachEli Oct 25 @ 10:01 PM EDT
    A4 I would love to see a more consistent and “fun” and engaging way we celebrate. A “house” system would be a great addition and is a goal for the future #EduAR
  • nortnik - Moderator Oct 25 @ 10:01 PM EDT
    I agree and it is vital with the adults in the builiding. Risk taking is scary...especially for an adult.... or maybe just this adult! :) #eduar

    A4. Too much focus on results and not on the process. Kids should not be represented by test scores but who they are, their experiences and their passions. #eduAR
  • bethhill2829 - Moderator Oct 25 @ 10:01 PM EDT
    A4: I think it would be amazing for my community to celebrate our schools' successes more. So often, we are ridiculed for what is perceived as going wrong, rather than celebrated for the great things. #EduAR
  • Hahne_Elyse Oct 25 @ 10:01 PM EDT
    A3 Celebrate with the audience in front of you. Social media is a huge presence at my campus. Sharing our stories & giving our students the spotlight rocks. Inviting them in and cultivating the relationships all around. #EduAR
  • bethhill2829 - Moderator Oct 25 @ 10:01 PM EDT
    Those kids are FIRED UP! It has been amazing to see! (Their teacher is pretty fired up, too!) #EduAR

    A4: Celebrations shouldn't be just for the kids who are A/B students, who are the best behaved, or meeting grade level expectations. Every child can have goals and those goals should be celebrated! #EduAR

    So important. Kids will often focus only on what they aren't good at if we don't nudge them to have balance and see the great in themselves. #EduAR

    A4 I’d love to see more celebrations in the grade level classrooms. There are some that do it amazingly. I hope others can have the same experience. #EduAR

    Me, too, Chris. This is a challenge in my building, but I do believe that we are inching closer every day. #EduAR
    • ChrisEubanks7 Oct 25 @ 10:04 PM EDT
      I would like students to pick up and extend the celebrations with minimal guidance from the Ts. Actual pride for the work of others!!!

    Spot on right here! Risk taking is so important in student and teacher growth! They have to feel that it's safe to do it and that comes from celebrating those moments of fearlessness! #EduAR #REdefinedED

  • mjjohnson1216 Oct 25 @ 10:06 PM EDT
    A4. I would like to see students celebrating the accomplishments of other students. Perhaps during morning announcements or during a Morning Meeting. If it came unsolicited all the better!! #EDUar

    A4 As a SPED P, I see the word "inclusion" & get all excited! Inclusion means my daughter is in a community; she belongs. In her Jr year of HS, her peers designated Special Olympics as their charity of choice - in her honor. Very cool #EduAR

  • clegleiter Oct 25 @ 10:09 PM EDT
    A5. I would like to celebrate the importance of school to family connections. We do not have a “school family celebration” - but somehow to bring everyone together to say “thank you - we are the difference”. #eduAR
  • NowakRo Oct 25 @ 10:09 PM EDT
    A5 I want to create personalized cards to send by mail celebrating students or staff. I want them to have a momento of their accomplishment. A token of appreciation unique to them that they can keep or share. #eduAR

      Some kind of “Failing Forward” celebration. Because failure is a great teacher. Learners need to embrace that failure is only a stop on the road to success.
