Focused on #StudentAgency to #PersonalizedLearning in #atPLC. Two educators, @sascha_heckmann & @drtstuart, working in a school like yours.

[8DegreesUp @8DegreesUp]

To personalizing learning we must harness the collective talents of teachers, providing agency to learners with an ethos that every child can learn at high levels. That is what our book aims to accomplish! #personalizedlearning #agency #atplc @drtstuart @mikemattos65 @agbuffum

@BaldRoberts Teachers do not like to be told what todo, they like to be taught what to do. Once they know, give them agency to meet the needs of their students. Telling without teaching is a recipe for disappointment.

@newfrontier21 100% right!

[Dr. Anthony Muhammad @newfrontier21]

Racism, class bias, sexism, xenophobia, and other forms of oppression are real historically and real today. Banning educators from confronting the truth of these issues is cowardly and desperate.

[8DegreesUp @8DegreesUp]

Still convinced in person school is better? Maybe for corporations and their employees. Definitely not for kids! #SEL #relationships #learningissocial #COVIDLearning

[Dwayne Reed @TeachMrReed]

This is lunch for a school that has decided to meet in person. This is depressing. This is emotionally scarring. This looks like prison. This isn’t healthy. This is heartbreaking. This is not the solution.

@ianhoke @sascha_heckmann Miss you Dude!

[8DegreesUp @8DegreesUp]

@TomSchimmer Absolutely. We have stripped back our expectations to 50% of normal workload with no fixed deadlines and if we go beyond 1 month closed looking at credit/no credit.

If you're creating activities in @Seesaw, be sure to use shortcuts in your instructions - especially for ELLs.

It can also be useful to add a voice recording of the instructions as support for developing readers.

They did it! The ELC learners collaboratively completed the challenge. The goal was to slow the descent to 5 seconds. The marble’s journey took approximately 7 seconds! #aismlearns

[Ronen @EduRonen]

What your students to have #LearnerAgency? Make sure you equip them with tools:
✔️ Learning Process
✔️ Learning skills
✔️ Learning dispositions

A1: Neurodiversity is the understanding that humans lie on a continuum of differently wired brains. Each individual presents differences in thinking, perceiving, and learning. #Pubpdafrica

[Peter Hennigar @petehennigar]

What are scientific questions? Which of your questions are testable? Love it when ss generated inquiry questions ask the same thing as the unit inquiry questions I planned as a teacher #studentplc What do you want to know? #studentagency @AISMmoz #aismlearns

[8DegreesUp @8DegreesUp]

@JoeBuscemi505 Check out @jnicklas8 She might be a great virtual PLC for our PS art teachers.

[Jennifer Nicklas @jnicklas8]

Grade 4 art students are designing their unit for HWOO. They created their own central idea, selected key concepts and are working on the LOI's. Today they are using the studio habits to help them develop craft. @ISNS_School @ibpyp @AgencybyDesign @8DegreesUp @artsy @MrFinniePYP

[8DegreesUp @8DegreesUp]

@jnicklas8 @ruben_dhers @CaiGuoQiang @AgencybyDesign @ibpyp @ISNS_School How amazing to see learner create meaning for themselves through exploration. Nice work!

[Sascha Heckmann @sascha_heckmann]

@sherrattsam @kjinquiry @whatedsaid Aligns perfectly with our premise at @8DegreesUp. In an agency fueled classroom the educators role is multidimensional based on their learners ability to express their agency within an inquiry framework. Multiple roles at virtually the same time. #edchat #studentagency

[Dr. Anthony Muhammad @newfrontier21]

I encourage every educator to spend this week recharging your battery, enjoying your family, and taking care of self! You can't care for others if you don't take care of self! You are the cornerstone of this society and you deserve a break!

[Sascha Heckmann @sascha_heckmann]

Who holds agency in the learning process is directly correlated to the depth of your learning target. #solotaxonomy #atplc #AISMlearns #edchat #cpchat #ubd

[Sascha Heckmann @sascha_heckmann]

How would your instruction and assessment change if kids could use the internet during tests? @drtstuart #atplc #21stcenturyskills #edchat #edtech @8DegreesUp
