@ZBauermaster A tangible takeaway from tonight is that no matter how go go go the school year starts to feel and the pressure of completing items on your to do list becomes, it's just as important to reflect upon what you are doing as it is doing them. #Sp23EDUC5351 #MEMSPAchat

@ZBauermaster Having students fill out a temperature check is a great way for them to practice reflecting upon how they're doing on their school work, understanding content, and even checking in with their mental health, all of which promotes a culture of reflection. #Sp23EDUC5351 #MEMSPAchat

@ZBauermaster I like to think through what worked and what didn't work for each class I taught during the day. The small things I changed between classes and the differences they made that I can implement for the future in all my classes. #Sp23EDUC5351 #MEMSPAchat

@ZBauermaster Reflection is a key component of leading both students and other educators. If we don't slow down and reflect we miss out on opportunities for growth. #Sp23EDUC5351 #MEMSPAchat

@ZBauermaster Hayley Buskell, Teacher in HTX! I would say my favorite spring activity is taking walks with my sweet pup in the park! #Sp23EDUC5351 #MEMSPAchat

@Shapiro_WTHS A3: I think this is a hard question to answer but I really like what @TigerMolly11 said about being an encourager. When others ask for help there is an easy in, but maybe they are venting about a particular class and you slip in what has worked for you! #Sp23EDUC5351 #teachpos

@Shapiro_WTHS A2: By putting relationships first and making sure that the classroom is safe and welcoming for all students is my biggest tip for engaging all students. A one-size fits all won’t help everyone. Once rapport is established, engaged learning can happen! #teachpos #Sp23EDUC5351

@Shapiro_WTHS A1: I witnessed a drastic disengagement from my middle schoolers throughout the pandemic year and a steep decline in their retention of the content. But I found that weekly check ins were a great way to connect with both in person and virtual students! #teachpos #Sp23EDUC5351

@WiredEducator A4: I like to provid guided notes for all students during lectures. With a range of note taking: fill in the blanks, summary, etc. I also always try to include some kind of visual aid to help with their understanding! #wiredwednesday #Sp23EDUC5351

@WiredEducator A3: Building rapport with students and building a classroom culture that celebrates the diversity helps students to feel safe and welcome in our classrooms. #Sp23EDUC5351 #wiredwednesday

[Hayley Buskell @HowdyBuskell]

@WiredEducator As a history teacher, vocabulary plays an important roll in understanding the past. Word walls are a great way to provide visual aids for ELLs and day to day students and help their understanding. #Sp23EDUC5351 #WiredWednesday

[Hayley Buskell @HowdyBuskell]

@LLacrosse @WiredEducator My students would get a kick out of that! I love it!

@WiredEducator Howdy! My name is Hayley and I am a social studies teacher in HTX. My current favorite show is The Rookie! #WiredWednesday #Sp23EDUC5351

@jmw1770 @chrisgibsonedu I love this idea Jennifer! #PBLChat #Sp23EDUC5351

[Hayley Buskell @HowdyBuskell]

@chrisgibsonedu I would love to see discussions and professional learning about choice boards for social studies! I think choice boards are a great way for students to visibly see the different end products for a project but need to understand how to build them more. #pblchat #Sp23EDUC5351

[Hayley Buskell @HowdyBuskell]

@chrisgibsonedu Educators planning for #pbl should take into consideration the interests and strengths of student groups in the classroom when planning. This allows for projects to be more geared to student interests and thus have higher levels of understanding achieved. #pblchat #Sp23EDUC5351

[Hayley Buskell @HowdyBuskell]

@cargill_tara @chrisgibsonedu @PBLMatters I completely agree Tara - The biggest way I see that #pbl contributes to equitable education is by (1) allowing students to have agency over their learning and (2) choices that play to their strengths and interests. #pblchat #Sp23EDUC5351

[Hayley Buskell @HowdyBuskell]

@chrisgibsonedu The fact that #pbl is student driven by their interests and learning styles makes it accessible and equitable. #pblchat #Sp23EDUC5351
