Working to bring students and teachers together at the design table so they may co-create relevant, authentic, & meaningful learning experiences. Tweets my own.

What languages can you speak or read?

New on the website: the #HabitsOfMind in #Romanian! Check out all the HOM #translations here: https://t.co/U1X8d3u3Dm

If you have translated the language of the Habits into a language other than English, please let us know!

[Craig Gastauer @CG_Bioteach]

@benakallick We'll be adding a Romanian version very soon! Stay tuned!

Thinking more about #fg2t session & fear of L'ing loss. Will Ts feel need to disseminate more info via lecture?

Wondering how we can listen to & learn from our Ss' experiences to build #StudentCentered opp's & help them develop self-management & monitoring strategies? Thoughts?

[Craig Gastauer @CG_Bioteach]

Great #fg2t mtg today! So impt to learn from this period for education.

-Listen & collect perspectives
-Design with problem to solve in mind
-Generate ideas to fuel change
-Take time to be intentional. No quick fixes

Include Ss voices & innovative ideas. All learners together!

[Craig Gastauer @CG_Bioteach]

Insightful ideas all educators need to pay attention to as schools & districts craft plans to re-open. Thank you @erinmote & Eric Tucker!!!

Learning w the #PowerOfPlace in mind still req's building relationships w Ss & allowing #StudentVoice to inform the places that will help them learn the best. #fg2t

[Craig Gastauer @CG_Bioteach]

So many inspiring voices including a star student from #IowaBIG! Takeaways... Use this time to explore and Take Responsible Risks. Work with students and parents as learning partners. Let's refocus ed so students are empowered and thriving! #fg2t

These @stu_voice Ss are PHENOMENAL! Demonstrated the importance to incorporate ALL Ss voices in the design of l'ing experiences. But even these Ss believe their voice really matter only outside classroom! 🤯 Our challenge is to reverse this! #covid19ed

[Fielding International @FieldingInt]

Thank you @stu_voice @PCStuVoiceTeam for championing the change. In case you missed it, feel free to reflect on and share Guiding Questions below.

Next step - Our school's Leadership Team mtg tomorrow has a new agenda item: How do we amplify student voice to inform our virtual instruction"

[Craig Gastauer @CG_Bioteach]

@allison_zmuda @GrantLichtman Let's include talking WITH students in that conversation as well. What is working for them in this time of transition? What isn't? What would help them?

[Craig Gastauer @CG_Bioteach]

@dvodicka @allison_zmuda Thanks for the tweet!

[Craig Gastauer @CG_Bioteach]

@erinmote @BklynLabSchool We at VHS want to express our greatest sympathies to all of you. Our hearts are heavy but we send you our love and are with you in spirit. Continue to take care of one another as best you can.

[Craig Gastauer @CG_Bioteach]

Jim Bennett continues our @VHSPanthers Parent Forum by sharing available internships for anyone over 16 years old. What better way to help ss learn the skills needed for the World of Work!!!

[Craig Gastauer @CG_Bioteach]

Our Gear Up team kicks off the @VHSPanthers Parent Forum. What does "college ready" mean? What supports are available to help Ss during and after the school day? (One example... Tutors in every math class & ready to help after school everyday until 5 pm!)

[Craig Gastauer @CG_Bioteach]

Thank you Brisma for organizing and setting up our @VHSPanthers Parent Forum this evening. How do we help Ss ensure they are best prepared for their future college and/or careers?

[Craig Gastauer @CG_Bioteach]

Week 2 of Teachers Leading Teachers. Stuart Easton is asking us to think about how we help different perspectives be presented & considered rather than dismissing it because it doesn't conform to our own personal beliefs. #ThinkingFlexibly #ListeningWithUnderstandingAndEmpathy

[Craig Gastauer @CG_Bioteach]

Ms Campbell describes the Wellness Center's Purpose. We want to support all Ss in leading healthy & balanced lives, improve their self-awareness, manage their emotions & impulsivity, increase their empathy, and improve their ability to make responsible decisions. #VistaCARES

[Craig Gastauer @CG_Bioteach]

Our wonderful Wellness Ts, Rick Worthington & McKenzie Campbell, describe to @VHSPanthers parents the importance of building Social Emotional Wellbeing in addition to addressing Academic needs in the High School experience.

[Craig Gastauer @CG_Bioteach]

ABSOLUTELY!!! Thanks for always putting our students first.
