@snovalleysports Plenty of that around. We work with the Greenville Drive (Red Sox-Single A Club) to employ students through our Launch GVL project here. It is a great partnership with our community!

@DrChrisCulver Thank you!

A3-Focus on recall practice! If students are used to the assessment for learning process, it creates a better system of learning, failure is part of the process, and this will reduce angst. #powerfulteaching #formativechat

[Dr. Ferguson of CHS @FergusonofCHS]

@TheThinkingProj @DrChrisCulver STARS!!! Thanks @TheThinkingProj

[Dr. Ferguson of CHS @FergusonofCHS]

@DrChrisCulver @Rdene915 Initial thoughts from practice are using as a precursor activity. Hadn't though of utilizing this after until now. Great thinking!!!

[Dr. Ferguson of CHS @FergusonofCHS]

@TheThinkingProj @DrChrisCulver Oooooo..that is good! We are focusing on growth mindset. I think this would be a fantastic way to cement the philosophy! Any resources that have been promising you could share?

[Dr. Ferguson of CHS @FergusonofCHS]

@TheThinkingProj @Rdene915 @raspberryberet3 Fluid grading is such a powerful practice. I learned so much from failure and pursuing why I failed!!!

[Dr. Ferguson of CHS @FergusonofCHS]

@DrChrisCulver Full-blown learner here! Not even sure where to start on this Q.

[Dr. Ferguson of CHS @FergusonofCHS]

@TheThinkingProj @DrChrisCulver Normalize failure!!!

[Dr. Ferguson of CHS @FergusonofCHS]

A1-Dr. Hattie on collective stu efficacy "it legitimizes alternative views and in alternative views there can be failure and that's okay because the students are collectively working towards a group responsibility" 43:10 #formativechat https://t.co/Puf1nOXwz9

[Dr. Ferguson of CHS @FergusonofCHS]

A1-assessment practices often live in summative mode only. Ss rarely get meaningful feedback to guide learning. Use assessment for learning to build student collective efficacy and normalize initial failure w/ #growthmindset #formativechat @DrChrisCulver @Rdene915 #formativechat

Did you know you can better manage your classroom by shifting more control & responsibility to your students! 🤯

Seems paradoxical, but it works.

In the spirit of review...another gem here!

[edutopia @edutopia]

This fun and energetic review strategy gives you a sense of what students have retained—and helps learning stick even more. 🙌

[Dr. Ferguson of CHS @FergusonofCHS]

So good...

Study skills are key to academic success. Since they’re not usually explicitly taught, a nudge in the right direction from a teacher can make a world of difference. 🌟 Check out active studying practices to share with your middle and high school students: https://t.co/OMW1KK8BZ8

[Dr. Ferguson of CHS @FergusonofCHS]

I was convinced after reading #PowerfulTeaching @RetrieveLearn that intentionally planning for retrieval practice can skyrocket learning! Thanks for the rec @NViera22

[edutopia @edutopia]

A single session of retrieval practice can generate memory improvements that persist for 9 months. Over multiple sessions, the positive effects of retrieval can last for 8 years. 🤯

📺We watched this short doc in class yesterday. It helped ignite a rich discussion … and a few tears😭. 90% of my Ss said they identified with the kids in the film. https://t.co/vAACVYBGFW #JCPSML #SenecaSoars #Ell2pointO

Truly a real-world experience with this novel project. Love seeing the #TrojanintheWild as a part of this experience! @cte_innovation @gcschools @CHS_TrojanPride

[Greenville County Schools @gcschools]

Drones have become a valuable tool for law enforcement agencies. Students in the @cte_innovation Aerospace Technologies program recently completed a weekslong project, creating 3D printed brackets for lights to be mounted on drones used by the Greenville County Sheriff's Office!
