@MissWinegar I have done two design thinking projects as part of a grad school course and have found them to be so powerful! I often wonder if our PLC time would be better spent using this format. #sunchat

@tiffanytruitt My district has an Intro to Education and Intro to Business program where students partner with local businesses and get actual field experience. I currently have a hs student in my classroom this month gaining field experience and teaching lessons. #sunchat

@susankotch Great idea! However, I believe in MN where I teach you need a 4 year degree to sub. Is this different in your state?

[Leah Aamlid @LAamlid]

@thnorfar @tiffanytruitt Ha! Some days certainly don't feel that way, but I did have to learn quickly to embrace the beauty in the chaos!

[Leah Aamlid @LAamlid]

In a grad school course that is looking at the US education system compared to other countries. There are some alarming negative statistics. How do we help combat this issue that is so much bigger than just our classroom? #sunchat

@ECET2natl A6: Recognizing our own biases and acknowledging them is a good first step. When we are aware, we can then take steps to address these biases. #ecet2

[Leah Aamlid @LAamlid]

A4: YES! This is why CRT is so important. Each student comes to us with a different upbringing, traditions, values, etc. #ecet2

[Leah Aamlid @LAamlid]

@ECET2natl A3: My district has really focused on CRT the past couple years. We do an all school Harambee once a month to celebrate diversity. In my classroom, I use a lot of read alouds to address and celebrate diversity. #ecet2

[Leah Aamlid @LAamlid]

@RyanCanoneoM Great point! I have tried to be more cognizant of my read alouds this year to help with this. #ecet2

[Leah Aamlid @LAamlid]

A2: Multicultural education is the inclusion of the diverse backgrounds of ALL students and recognizing and celebrating the value of each. #ecet2

Hello! I'm Leah, and I'm a K teacher from MN. To kick off this next week, I plan to go slow and review expectations while allowing for time where students can share about their Thanksgiving break! #ecet2

[Leah Aamlid @LAamlid]

A great reminder as we get ready to head back after Thanksgiving break.

This video appeals to teens who need to find reasons and inspiration to practice #mindfulness. It’s perfect for grades 6 and up. Compiled by our grad Cheryl Brause, it speaks to many kinds of students, to help them recommit to a daily in-school practice. https://t.co/un1DwNWJ4Q

How much emphasis does your district place on the ISTE standards?

[ISTE+ASCD @ISTE_ASCD]

As educators, it's our job to foster a culture of innovation. https://t.co/WcV5un5dJp #istestandards #iste

@townsleyaj The HS in my district has started to take great steps in this direction, but I know the class schedule was a barrier at the beginning. #IAedchat

[Leah Aamlid @LAamlid]

@DuffysClassroom At the elem. level, Genius Hour has led to some great interest-based learning, as well as PBL. At the HS level, we need to give Ss more opportunities to explore potential career paths. Get the community and businesses involved. #IAedchat

[Leah Aamlid @LAamlid]

@TammyDelaney1 @DuffysClassroom It's an incredible school. They have had people all from all over come to tour.

[Leah Aamlid @LAamlid]

@DuffysClassroom Change can be uncomfortable. When leaders encourage their teachers to try new things, even if it means failing hard, they put more emphasis on process over product. #IAedchat
