@ashleyblatt_edu This incredibly creative! I think students would love to view this and also have the choice to showcase their learning in this way! Especially with so many people in quarantine right now, and going back to playing games they used to love, like Club Penguin!

@mbarredu I love this! I have never heard of it before, but I think it is a really memorable way to practice some calming strategies

[Tyler Volpe-Knock @KnockTyler]

Do you know of any other forms of “biological breaks”, besides breathing, that could be helpful in calming students, tempers, frustrations and anxieties?

@aaviahna @jhhirsh This is such an important thing to realize as an educator, that taking a mind or body break should not be used as a punishment but rather taking something like a "biological break" to calm down is a skill that all students and teachers should learn to master

@KS_edchat One way could be giving students choices to showcase their knowledge and learning like comics, videos, mindmaps, or sketch-notes instead of talking a certain number of times within the class period or presenting live in front of the class.

@KS_edchat By focusing on aspects of student choice, even within these collaborative learning experiences, students may be more focused, interested, and curious in their learning leading them to take more risks and contribute within their groups

@gsat @KS_edchat Sai, I love this idea! I think group competitions can make students very engaged and excited about what the are learning with removing the anxieties and frustrations that may come with solo competitions.

@Paige17516310 The sounds like an eventful and unique experience! I would have loved to do that!

What is the most informative/useful conference, workshop or professional development you have done/attended? What was your most important take-away from your experience?

@ElisabethNg2 Elisabeth, I think this advice would be super effective for students! I think the biggest struggle for students who feel they live in their sibling's shadow is that they feel their own abilities and accomplishments are not recognized or appreciated.

[Tyler Volpe-Knock @KnockTyler]

What are some potential strategies to encourage a student that feels they may be constantly living in an older sibling’s shadow and being compared to that sibling? I thought of this when reading about teachers giving other teachers warnings about “that” student.

@Rdene915 @wakelet @torreytrust I'm not familiar with @wakelet, I will be sure to check it out! How would I add to it?

I used Buncee to showcase my take-aways from chapters 14-18 of Rachelle Dene Poth's "In Other Words":

@Paige17516310 I actually had an 8th grade history teacher that used to clear all the desks out of his room one friday per month and replace them with yoga mats and he would lead yoga and meditation for all his classes. He believed yoga and meditation were important life skills for all students

@ElisabethNg2 The yellow visual you used that says success is a series of small wins, is really effective! I think a lot of times its the small moments that students remember the most. Teachers do not need to make huge gestures to make an impact on their students.

[Tyler Volpe-Knock @KnockTyler]

@KS_edchat Your emphasis on the need for teachers to be always growing professionally is crucial. This growth is important for student learning and for teachers to continue to grow with their students. And you are totally right, teachers only stop growing when they want to

[Tyler Volpe-Knock @KnockTyler]

As teachers, we must focus on seeing the individual student but more specifically, how can teacher make sure the students are really feeling that they are being seen and treated as an individual separate from their sibling?

[Tyler Volpe-Knock @KnockTyler]

@Paige17516310 Technology can help in providing equitable experiences for all students with differentiated needs. It can connect students in ways that wouldn't have been possible otherwise, through PLNs or connecting with students across the world to built knowledge and teach each other

[Tyler Volpe-Knock @KnockTyler]

@ElisabethNg2 You can also set up the activities in your room so that they are student led and learner focused so you have that time to walk around the room and connect with individual students or groups of students

[Tyler Volpe-Knock @KnockTyler]

@ElisabethNg2 One way can be to make a classroom environment that is welcoming to students so that they feel comfortable coming to see you after school or before school, or even during lunch, so that you can build relationships and provide support without taking too much time away during class
