Does anyone know of anyone who is within one of these fields:
Medical scientists
Atmospheric and space scientist
Treasurers and controllers
Epidemiologists
Risk Management
Sports Medicine Physicians

If so, I'd love to see what we could do to set up a student lead interview!

Looking for help with how to begin using Student Portfolio's and Student Lead Conferencing to replace traditional grading. Has anyone tried this? I'd love to chat with you! #studentvoice #middleschool #teacherlife

What has worked for you when trying to get students to take ownership of their learning? In my classes, students design their own learning based on their interests, but I still manage to devote too much time to students who are failing, rather than on those who are rockstars!

[Kristin Riley @K_Riley215]

A group of students are trying to be the change. Be on the lookout for great things to come from @youmademeorg #studentvoice #BeTheChange #middleschool #studentsempowered #studentempathy

Interested in feedback on how I organize #PBL in my classroom and also looking to compile resources! Please feel free to make a copy of my PBL document AND add in resources you use! https://t.co/3dMAiUvujG

I'm going to try my first student #edcamp before the end of the month. Any tips on what has worked well for you? #middleschool #studentownership #studentvoice #studentbecomestheteacher

[Kristin Riley @K_Riley215]

What's your go to resource when managing independent student projects? How can we encourage students to challenge themselves rather than take the "easy" road? #PBL #GiftedandTalented #middleschool #studentownership #designthinking

@JennerJean @giftededucation I'd love to see these responses. I use @flipgrid a lot to have my GT students reflect on their learning process. I've also explored @thrively which allows the kids to explore their strengths. In my class we do a lot of PBL and looking to incorporate student ed camps.

I posted this in my classroom all week. I just got an email from a student asking for help with a project. She is obviously affected by the recent school shooting and has decided to try and DO something about it! #ilovemystudents #studentvoice #middleschool

[Jack Berckemeyer @JBerckemeyer]

When will this school shooting issue be addressed? Our students are stressed out, our teachers are being pushed to the max and yet our major concern in education is testing! Time to get real!

[Kristin Riley @K_Riley215]

We need to spend more time allowing kids to explore their passions! When asked “What is your passion?” most of my students can’t answer...maybe because we don’t give them enough time to explore! #geniushour #pbl #middleschool

[Kristin Riley @K_Riley215]

Looking for others who supervise a student run school store. I'd love to connect with you and have our students collaborate! #middleschool #schoolstore #collaboration #studentbuiness

[Kristin Riley @K_Riley215]

Does your middle school or high school have #recess (or free time) time built into their schedule? I'd love to hear about it! #middleschool #studentproject

[Kristin Riley @K_Riley215]

Any recommendations for #robotics kits for middle school students? A student of mine wants to start a robotics competition league where each student will need to built their own robot to perform different challenges and then compete against each other! #STEM #Robots #innovation

"Our job as educators and leaders is not to control others but to
bring out the best in them. Engagement is not enough. We need to create the same opportunities for our students as those we would want for ourselves." #InnovatorsMindset

[Kristin Riley @K_Riley215]

Does anyone have any good recommendations on TED Talks that would be powerful to show middle school students taking a class built around Innovating? #innovation @RonWetter #middleschool
