#NoVAedchat

PHES_ITC Mar 22 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1: while we know Ss need voice & choice, it's limited (b/c time, materials, pacing guides), not b/c it's bad. Project options are 1 way

Techy_Margaret Mar 22 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1 I like how we have options for Ss to choose where, who to sit with, kind of chair, etc. Safe way for Ts to hand over a bit #NOVAedchat

KatieRVanNuys Mar 22 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Hoping the answer isn't "because it's on the test," but worried it might be. Agree transparency is impt! #novaedchat

In reply to @techinteaching, @abctec

abctec Mar 22 @ 8:12 PM EDT

I think it is because Ts are planning lessons in isolation of Ss. Imagine doing the planning with the class. #novaedchat

Had guest speakers last Fri so I did sit for 3 straight periods-exhausting to be that passive. Makes me want to get them up more #novaedchat

techinteaching - Moderator Mar 22 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2 Teachers I've spoken with have been surprised at students' typical days. I'd like to get kids more active in their learning. #NoVAedChat

Techy_Margaret Mar 22 @ 8:17 PM EDT

In reply to @techinteaching, @timstahmer

BrianHerb17 Mar 22 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2 Too much time listening, too many directed activities. More choice, more time hearing from everyone in the room, standup desk #NoVAedchat

Techy_Margaret Mar 22 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2 I think we've made some good strides this year! More chances for students to speak up, choose and interact #NoVAedchat

abctec Mar 22 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: more talking less listening #novaedchat

A3 It's scary to give up control! It takes time up front to build routines, choices & options while learning a new way to do it! #NoVAedchat

KatieRVanNuys Mar 22 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3. accountability and the sheer amount of material I have to cover #novaedchat

A3 I was also thinking that since in ES, we plan for many lessons/day-to top that off w/choice for product across subjects…#novaedchat

techinteaching - Moderator Mar 22 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A4 Blended learning can support Ss- scaffolding choice as well as working in accountability = give Ss what they need #NoVAedchat @EdElements

Techy_Margaret Mar 22 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A4 Strategies for what to do when you don't understand. Give Ss problem solving skills. #NoVAedchat

A4 collaboration (Ts in addition to Ss) would also make this much less scary and seem less huge. #NoVAedChat

nsulla Mar 22 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A4) Expert board, help board, small-group mini lessons, gr8 S rubric ... let a Kdg S explain! #NoVAedchat https://t.co/mDR0rITs2N

SusZanti5 Mar 22 @ 8:41 PM EDT

I hope so and the time will come for Ss are empowered to follow their personalized journey confidently! #noVAedchat

abctec Mar 22 @ 8:37 PM EDT

I wonder if it was norm at all levels that Ss would adapt and get over that aspect. #novaedchat

A4 focus on the content learning vs. the standards/pacing guide restrictions. Teach the standards, ditch the constraints. #NoVAedChat

A3 Struggles surrounding lack of time impact opportunities to implement student choice in the classroom #novaedchat

Q5 How might personalizing students’ experience lead to successes in learning? How might that look in a classroom? #NoVAedchat

Techy_Margaret Mar 22 @ 8:45 PM EDT

YES! finding the time in our days to work with small groups of Ss is necessary. Blending learning can "create" time #novaedchat @mafarrace

In reply to @mafarrace

I agree. Once you change this around, everything becomes energizing. Although I won't lie, some days exhausting too! #NoVAedchat

I like to enter a room and have to look for the teacher among the Ss! #NoVAedchat

A4: Checking in with Ss on their progress, one-on-one meetings. Def don't give freedom then sit behind desk. T must be engaged #noVAedchat

You can also run advanced small-group, mini-lessons w/ a quiz for an entrance ticket. motivating! #NoVAedchat

A5 Success in learning? They learn HOW to learn not how to follow instructions and directives. Isn't that what we want? #NoVAedchat

techinteaching - Moderator Mar 22 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A5 It makes sense. Kids can focus on what they don't know yet, & possible take it in a direction that reflects their interests. #NoVAedChat

KratzMegan Mar 22 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A1-A4: Still reading and reflecting on these great ideas tonight.Thanks everyone! Have to jump off #NoVAedChat

KatieRVanNuys Mar 22 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A5. hopefully choice=ownership=interest=enjoy class & learning. I'd be happy with more engagement! #novaedchat

SusZanti5 Mar 22 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A5 : This! #NoVAedchat

BrianHerb17 Mar 22 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A5 Ss exploring their own learning choices = more interest and more investment #NoVAedchat

PHES_ITC Mar 22 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A5 Ss work at own pace, in a way that works for them. Trust that learners know abt how they can be successful. Choice-Voice-Fun #novaedchat

mafarrace Mar 22 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A5 Ss begin to choose & like what they wk with. When they do, they push themselves further & can selfmonitor to do more/less #NoVAedChat

A6: To help Ts understand-they steer learning while Ss sit in the driver's seat-control is relative-confidence/know Ss=essential #NoVAedchat

RashidaJGreen Mar 22 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A6: Building awareness w/teachers about why this is important and the benefits for students. Showing models & supporting process #NoVAedchat

KatieRVanNuys Mar 22 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A6. Ask Ss how they could take control and work with teammate to incorporate more true choice #novaedchat

PHES_ITC Mar 22 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A6: Tough ?. Been thinking abt this a lot. Maybe modeling ways (ideas) on how to gradually release control and change mindset #NoVAedChat
