@missheather74 Leading by example is key! #Teachpos

[Erin M. Lucas, Ed.S. @ErinEducates]

A3: Be a mentor! Share one new engagement strategy that you recently learned. Invite others to come watch #Teachpos

[Erin M. Lucas, Ed.S. @ErinEducates]

@oceanteacherD Great examples! I love the idea of students bringing their favorite loud snack. That’s a definite crowd pleaser 👍 #Teachpos

[Erin M. Lucas, Ed.S. @ErinEducates]

@R_CILR Brain breaks are key! They keep students from feeling burned out 👏🏽#Teachpos

[Erin M. Lucas, Ed.S. @ErinEducates]

A2: My “Go-Tos” for student engagement- Let Students Lead, Hands-On activities, and Movement breaks #Teachpos

[Erin M. Lucas, Ed.S. @ErinEducates]

@R_CILR Agreed! Figuring out what engagement strategies worked took a lot of time and patience #teachpos

[Erin M. Lucas, Ed.S. @ErinEducates]

@Shapiro_WTHS A1: Pandemic caused teachers to think outside the box on how to engage all learners. Some classroom strategies worked virtually while others didn’t. #teachpos

[Erin M. Lucas, Ed.S. @ErinEducates]

@chrisgibsonedu Yes! Seesaw allows teachers to provide immediate feedback and allows students to resubmit if needed #PBLChat

[Erin M. Lucas, Ed.S. @ErinEducates]

@chrisgibsonedu A4: I’m elementary, seesaw has been a powerful and useful tool for project based learning. It captures student work overtime and allows teachers to monitor student work #PBLChat

[Erin M. Lucas, Ed.S. @ErinEducates]

@JenC_2023 Ownership of their own learning is key! They learn so much more at their own pace and time #PBLChat

[Erin M. Lucas, Ed.S. @ErinEducates]

@french_cfrench Agreed! Rubrics are an essential part of PBLs. The rubric should be explicitly gone over before students begin their assignment #PBLChat

[Erin M. Lucas, Ed.S. @ErinEducates]

A2: when students engage in PBL assignments, grading should be more focused the process, not the product #PBLChat

[Erin M. Lucas, Ed.S. @ErinEducates]

@DevelopWithJud Absolutely! Learning targets should be identified and pulled out of the “need to know” questions #PBLChat

[Erin M. Lucas, Ed.S. @ErinEducates]

A1: Teachers needs to assess what students are thinking, how they are thinking, and what essential concepts are they gaining #PBLChat

[Erin M. Lucas, Ed.S. @ErinEducates]

@HarveyAlvy1 Teacher pay is definitely a clash! Teachers struggle to make ends meet while working over the contract hours. They are unappreciated and undervalued #edchat

[Erin M. Lucas, Ed.S. @ErinEducates]

@EdFrankonisIII @HarveyAlvy1 Agreed! Students need more support to navigate life post pandemic. These skills can easily be incorporated into every day learning #edchat

[Erin M. Lucas, Ed.S. @ErinEducates]

@DennisDill I agree! Kids want to be taught things that have practical value and they can use it in there every day real life #edchat

[Erin M. Lucas, Ed.S. @ErinEducates]

@HarveyAlvy1 Offering ideals of what is important in education versus what is expected to be taught, cause a clash in teaching and learning #edchat
