@JamisaW14 @Mrs_SamMassey @srblassiter @MrsGH4 @OffhausTarnae @louis_stemec @McKnightMath @MsKingAPES @VaughnTeach @Quesited_88 @HNCounselsSTEM @STEMECNCAT The polite civil way to advocate for yourself needs to be modeled by someone in your life .

[Travis Wall @BioWall]

Students benefit from knowing that their feelings and fears are normal , failure and struggle is a part of everyone’s experience.#slowchat #tothefuture

@srblassiter @MrsGH4 @Mrs_SamMassey @OffhausTarnae @louis_stemec @McKnightMath @MsKingAPES @VaughnTeach @JamisaW14 @Quesited_88 @HNCounselsSTEM #slowchat a reoccurring theme is positive reinforcement from teachers. Academic achievement is interwoven into some students identify. Students remember those who don’t believe in them .

@STEMECNCAT @JamisaW14 Congratulations

#tothefuture in the image of the Brooklyn Bridge May 29 vs March 16 the symbolism is that on the left there’s two different lanes one moving slow one moving fast versus on the right where everyone marches together at the same speed. This symbolizes a need for unity.@STEMECNCAT

Inequalities are still alive and well in society and in the public schools @STEMECNCAT

@JamisaW14 @srblassiter It is easier than a traditional school in the sense of discipline, instruction and delivery is demanding in other ways , labs not done due to discipline at trad schools are very time consuming and labor intensive.

@srblassiter #SCUltramodernInnovation A6 Lean on Me

[Travis Wall @BioWall]

@srblassiter #SCUltramodernInnovation A5 discipline becomes conversations, instructional exceptions become goals , with the knowledge we all perceive the world differently because of our backgrounds

[Travis Wall @BioWall]

@srblassiter #SCUltramodernInnovation A4 teachers can sometimes treat students as if they are more interested and motivated then they are. Teachers sometimes expect that all student come to STEM with the same skills , and treat them as they are more able then they are.

#SCUltramodernInnovation A2 My Mean face has probably had an effect on how people treat me when we first meet . I have adjusted to my face , really didn’t have a choice .

[Travis Wall @BioWall]

@srblassiter #SCUltramodernInnovation A1 I’m sure that my resting Mean Face has not helped in people’s perceptions of me.

[Travis Wall @BioWall]

@srblassiter #SCUltramodernInnovation A1 I feel to answer that I would have to know how people perceive me. I am sure my actions have lead those around me to believe things that are both true and false .

[Travis Wall @BioWall]

@srblassiter #SCUltramodernInnovation Travis Wall I am grateful for the health of everyone I know

@Quesited_88 #SCUltramoderninnovation Amelia made some happy art for the neighborhood.

@Quesited_88 Now we will be hoping that they put the same effort into a pass fail scenario.

[Travis Wall @BioWall]

@Quesited_88 In the course of 2 weeks the students have been asked to be personally responsible for their leaning. They are used to doing things for grades and that’s all but gone .

[Travis Wall @BioWall]

@JamisaW14 @louis_stemec @Quesited_88 No , I feel that the personal connection of being in the same place is lost . Also students are less likely to be attentive out of social courtesy because that know that they will not be reprimanded. Even adults at a workshop will let themselves stray.

[Travis Wall @BioWall]

@Quesited_88 Having patience with others and expecting it in return .
