@nalang1 Glad I got here for some #divergED fun, Nathan. Thanks for honoring my lateness to the party.

SeanAThom Feb 16 @ 8:30 PM EST

If staff are coming to you to ask Qs, you are doing it right! All starts w/ the relationships you build! #divergED https://t.co/xFhsF5k8r8

RodgersChad Feb 16 @ 8:27 PM EST

Q4 struggling w/ this.1 thing I've noticed is the amt.of Ts who come to me now as opposed to me going to them w/ ?'s, answers,etc. #divergED

RodgersChad Feb 16 @ 8:31 PM EST

Love the qualitative statement. So much more meaningful than the quantitative sometimes! #divergED https://t.co/S04Kf9w6go

TeachDB17 Feb 16 @ 8:26 PM EST

A4. Measure the qualitative... where have we been, how close to we our goal? What do we need to get there! #diverged

ElisaBostwick Feb 16 @ 8:31 PM EST

A4 We consider if we've reached or even surpassed our intended goal. We're always reflecting and revising for better reach. #divergED

SeanAThom Feb 16 @ 8:31 PM EST

@tsschmidty That would be awesome! Thanks Todd! #divergED

DavidGeurin Feb 16 @ 8:31 PM EST

@nalang1 Isolation is a choice. We now have so many ways to connect. #divergED

Kubikhan Feb 16 @ 8:31 PM EST

What I call an "enhanced collaborative outcome." the results, and the relationships, are better! #divergED https://t.co/B3etG2XBMB

Not even gonna try to answer this question any better @Kubikhan...bravo #divergED https://t.co/y6x6ZdxDE4

  A4: Usually a value add from collaboration, no? What did students do together they couldn't do alone? #divergED https://t.co/40cTKrAPjq

  Q4: What gets measured gets done. How do you measure the impact of collaboration? #divergED

HillMrispo Feb 16 @ 8:31 PM EST

#divergED A4 measurement of PD and collaboration can be elusive at times. informal communication and formal surveys can give feedback.

MrsMurat Feb 16 @ 8:31 PM EST

A4: is the end product better than it would have been if done solo? #divergED

TechatOgden Feb 16 @ 8:31 PM EST

A4: make it fun ask students #divergED https://t.co/WjN8zX72mW

A4-I measure the impact of collaboration by products produced, relationships formed and culture in the building #divergED

thierck Feb 16 @ 8:32 PM EST

@drangelapeery More risk-taking, perceptions of school as a place of learning, response to challenge (teach vs consequence) #divergED

JuliePJones Feb 16 @ 8:32 PM EST

A4: collaboration could be measured in momentum toward group goals #divergED

SeanAThom Feb 16 @ 8:32 PM EST

The more editing means more reflection and growth. Can't beat that! #divergED https://t.co/4E3qT46FBy

Asia_teacher Feb 16 @ 8:28 PM EST

A4: Comparing work done independently vs. work done collaboratively is very interesting. A lot more editing on collab pieces. #divergED
