#miched Archive

The #michED chat is a grassroots effort dedicated to giving teachers, students, and parents across Michigan a bigger voice in the conversation about education in our state. We welcome all voices through a variety of projects, media, and social networking. We’re trying to address educational issues through apolitical conversation, spreading ideas and stories of success from Michigan classrooms across the state, and helping teachers and students regain the courage to connect and demonstrate that schools in Michigan are creating amazing opportunities for learning. We want the face and voice of education in Michigan to be a mural of shared experiences and positive examples of connected learning.

  • PeterMDeWitt Sep 20 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    Q2: How does self-efficacy contribute to our success and struggles? #MichEd
  • conrad_chris Sep 20 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    I feel like it's more than "feeling prepared". I have Ss that prep well, but still lack confidence. Need an "I got this" attitude #miched
    In reply to @techsavvyed
  • GeorgeHistory Sep 20 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    A2: I think that it defines our reactions to them, provides insight on how we respond. #miched
  • PrincipalNyberg Sep 20 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    a2. It's about mindset. No matter if you think you can do it or you can't...you're right! #miched
  • DreaWeiner Sep 20 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    A2: It is the life's blood to success. If the kids don't believe in their ability then the door for learning isn't open. #MichEd

    A2 if we have high self-efficacy and more confidence we will take more risks and grow more #miched
  • PeterMDeWitt Sep 20 @ 8:20 PM EDT
    Q3: What are the ways we raise self-efficacy? #MichEd
  • RMWynkoop Sep 20 @ 8:21 PM EDT
    A2: Too often educators self doubt is what leads to they belief that what they do isn't special #miched
  • ShackKyle Sep 20 @ 8:22 PM EDT
    A3: By providing educators authentic opportunities to grow in ways that are directly applicable to their practice #MichEd
  • kayceedammann Sep 20 @ 8:23 PM EDT
    A3 when I have a success my efficacy goes up, I feel good, and try new things so that trend continues. I try to promote ... #miched

    That sounds good - how can we do that? Got any examples that have worked? #Miched
    In reply to @ShackKyle
  • PeterMDeWitt Sep 20 @ 8:25 PM EDT
    @tguskey says to raise efficacy, we must have authentic structures in place, T’s must use evidence they trust & C immediate results! #MichEd
  • kammiddledteach Sep 20 @ 8:26 PM EDT
    I'm Kam, and I'm joining late. A2: I think we've have built self-efficacy at the young ages with stories that build self confidence. #miched
  • DreaWeiner Sep 20 @ 8:27 PM EDT
    They also need the ability to navigate the crazy to drive their own self-efficacy. #MichEd

    Question 4 in 2 minutes #MichEd!
  • conrad_chris Sep 20 @ 8:27 PM EDT
    A3: Ownership plays a part. Pride in "I did this". As Ts we support our Ss to become self-effective, they need to own the outcomes. #miched
  • ShackKyle Sep 20 @ 8:27 PM EDT
    Sure! If Ts PD/work give them actionable takeaways to improve practice, they feel able to influence that change into their context #MichEd
    In reply to @PeterMDeWitt
  • OUSEHS Sep 20 @ 8:29 PM EDT
    A2. Our perceived confidence or limitations affect our ability to have control or influence #miched
  • ShackKyle Sep 20 @ 8:30 PM EDT
    Opportunities to personally exp effect of ideas they are asked to implement. Voice in creating vision of what can/should change #MichEd
    In reply to @csteenst
  • ErinPeyerk Sep 20 @ 8:30 PM EDT
    A3: Recognizing others' strengths. Support educators in setting their own goals and celebrate successes. #miched
  • PeterMDeWitt Sep 20 @ 8:31 PM EDT
    A3: Efficacy building: Personal performance accomplishments, Vicarious experiences, Social-persuasion & physiological condition. #MichEd
  • ShackKyle Sep 20 @ 8:31 PM EDT
    One of best Ive seen is when Ts are brought in on designing PD days. Feel agency in designing their growth. Power in implementing it #MichEd
    In reply to @csteenst
  • PeterMDeWitt Sep 20 @ 8:31 PM EDT
    Q4: How is collective efficacy different from self-efficacy? #MichEd
  • csteenst Sep 20 @ 8:31 PM EDT
    I see this in the ed tech support I provide. Boxed resources are helpful, but when they can be customized, the power is greater #miched
    In reply to @conrad_chris
  • OUSEHS Sep 20 @ 8:32 PM EDT
    A3. Providing experiences where people feel successful #miched
  • PeterMDeWitt Sep 20 @ 8:32 PM EDT
    And providing experiences where people FIND success! #MichEd
    In reply to @OUSEHS
  • csteenst Sep 20 @ 8:33 PM EDT
    Yeah, I like that. I've also seen people take the slacker lane when given options. I like choosing paths based on evaluation goals #miched
    In reply to @ShackKyle
  • blocht574 Sep 20 @ 8:35 PM EDT
    A4: Collective is us together not alone requires dependence on other #miched
  • ShackKyle Sep 20 @ 8:35 PM EDT
    Some can, for sure. However just like our Ss, when given option between effecting change & stat quo, I think most Ts jump at chance #MichEd
    In reply to @csteenst
  • OUSEHS Sep 20 @ 8:35 PM EDT
    A3. Helping Ss have a strong sense of self. Give actual experiences to make Ss feel powerful in and out of school setting #miched
  • kammiddledteach Sep 20 @ 8:35 PM EDT
    A4. Collective is what people think of you, while self is what you think of yourself #miched
  • csteenst Sep 20 @ 8:36 PM EDT
    A4: Collective is when group members share goals and hold each other accountable. Not much is stronger than a high-functioning team #miched
  • ShackKyle Sep 20 @ 8:36 PM EDT
    A4: "I can really change something" v "We can change anything" #MichED
  • RMWynkoop Sep 20 @ 8:36 PM EDT
    A4: Just read a FB post by @simonsinek about "together is truly better". I"m always better with my team #miched
  • OUSEHS Sep 20 @ 8:36 PM EDT
    A4. Some only feel powerful within a group. Not willing to stand alone #miched
  • blocht574 Sep 20 @ 8:37 PM EDT
    We are stronger together and can have greater impact when we move together #miched

      A4: "I can really change something" v "We can change anything" #MichED
  • conrad_chris Sep 20 @ 8:38 PM EDT
    A4: self-efficacy= I think I can do this thing. (everyone in group agrees) collective efficacy=we *did* do this thing. #miched
  • kayceedammann Sep 20 @ 8:39 PM EDT
    What are ways you have supported a positive collective efficacy in the classroom? #miched
  • RMWynkoop Sep 20 @ 8:40 PM EDT
    A4: I think #MichED is the answer to this question. I am so much better as part of this collective brain and conversation.
  • PeterMDeWitt Sep 20 @ 8:40 PM EDT
    A4: I believe in my team (i.e. teachers, class of students) so much that we can overcome the obstacles that come our way. #MichEd
  • RMWynkoop Sep 20 @ 8:41 PM EDT
    Does it make me happy that I FINALLY got to #voluntold @ronhoutman ? Yes, yes it does. #tookmeyears #MichED
  • PeterMDeWitt Sep 20 @ 8:41 PM EDT
    As long as #MichEd helps you put this collective brain into action!
    In reply to @RMWynkoop
  • csteenst Sep 20 @ 8:41 PM EDT
    This comparison is a good model of collective efficacy. @AdaptiveSchools provides excellent guidance for such things. #Miched
  • conrad_chris Sep 20 @ 8:41 PM EDT
    I try to make the classroom a team environment. If you need help, ask. if you understand, share. Encourage math talk every day. #miched
    In reply to @kayceedammann
  • RMWynkoop Sep 20 @ 8:42 PM EDT
    Interesting. I had not thought of it this way. Is that a bad thing? Or reflective of personality or where a person is at? #MichED

  • PeterMDeWitt Sep 20 @ 8:43 PM EDT
    Last question in 2 minutes #MichEd!
  • ShackKyle Sep 20 @ 8:44 PM EDT
    Does it have to be the last one??? #MichEd
  • RMWynkoop Sep 20 @ 8:44 PM EDT
    So how can we use group efficacy to develop self-efficacy? #MichED
    In reply to @conrad_chris, @OUSEHS
  • RMWynkoop Sep 20 @ 8:45 PM EDT
    LOL. You can keep talking with the hashtag as long as you want! #MichED
    In reply to @ShackKyle
  • PeterMDeWitt Sep 20 @ 8:46 PM EDT
    Collective efficacy has a direct influence on the self-efficacy of others…including leaders! Leaders need 2 collaborate WITH T’s! #MichEd
    In reply to @RMWynkoop, @conrad_chris, @OUSEHS
  • RMWynkoop Sep 20 @ 8:46 PM EDT
    How does that translate to grade competition and parents wanting to know where their student stands in comparison? #miched
