Had the amazing opportunity to sit in on a PD session at Holland High this morning. Thank you to the Holland High staff, @eddieknowsmoore, and @BooksnotCooks for inviting us to attend and challenging us about the way we approach our students #hpsequity #ed285

.@KyleneBeers @BobProbst Learning so much from reading "Reading Nonfiction"! Teaching students to read non-fiction means teaching them to question and think critically! #readingnonfiction #ed285

@AnangFoncha @MarciaMentor I agree! Growth mindset is crucial for any learning environment

[lindsay_styrlund @LStyrlund]

@ESTangelia I agree, students need to feel heard and understood when they are learning

[lindsay_styrlund @LStyrlund]

@cclark421 Jumping in head first can be overwhelming. Taking things one step at a time seems to allow for opportunities to master skills and make adjustments more easily

[lindsay_styrlund @LStyrlund]

@ATeachersGuide It can help create a much more dynamic learning environment

Giving students a sense of empowerment and autonomy is huge for engagement and student learning

[Brooke Daniel @Daniel1Teach]

A4: Everything we want as teachers- engagement, best effort, deep discussion and on and on happens naturally when we put students in the driver seat of their learning!! When they feel empowered they WANT & ASK to do the work rather than they HAVE to do the work!! #masterychat

[lindsay_styrlund @LStyrlund]

It's important to give students that encouragement but still maintain high expectations for each of them

[Fran @ftemperio]

A3: T is a faciltator, moving around the room, oberving, listening to student discussions, assessing (mental notes or written notes), asking questions, giving feedback, and encouraging students to think deeper and not give up when it seems challenging. #masterychat

[lindsay_styrlund @LStyrlund]

@MatthewBorelli This is great for making student thinking visible and allowing differentiation to occur

[lindsay_styrlund @LStyrlund]

A3: The teacher is the students guide helping them to arrive at their conclusions with support and encouragement. #masterychat

[lindsay_styrlund @LStyrlund]

I agree that knowing how to get students to take control of their learning is crucial to their engagement

[ℂ𝕠𝕣𝕪 ℝ𝕒𝕕𝕚𝕤𝕔𝕙 @cradisch_wc]

a2: It's not the resources that make the class student centered, it's the strategies #MasteryChat

[lindsay_styrlund @LStyrlund]

Teachers should strive to ask more questions rather than tell. Asking questions is crucial for #makingthinkingvisible and facilitating understanding in the classroom! #ed285

Love the quote in HIYHM "...that's part of what teaching is about: the willingness to explore with kids, to reach with them, to follow a dimly lit path together, often unaware of the dazzling surprises that may wait around the bend" from @GregoryMichie #ed285

[lindsay_styrlund @LStyrlund]

In French, it is important to engage in authentic texts that give us insight into the cultures we are learning about. #disciplinaryliteracy #ed285
