2 AMAZING teachers brought @BTCthinks to life for future teachers at UofSC this week! Huge thanks to Kristen Hill, the PDS partnership between @LexRich5Schools and @UofSC, and @Wipebook for donating boards for PD and a future classroom! 👏🎉🎊

[Margaret Nickerson @MeanMakerSpace]

Check out our intro to @BTC as a staff! Thank you @Wipebook! All those empty seats=100% engagement! I love working with teachers that want to learn and grow!

[Margaret Nickerson @MeanMakerSpace]

I LOVE using @Wipebook dry erase boards and the pedagogy from @BTCthinks for collaborative professional development! (And I know it’s crazy that the whiteboard is on a whiteboard, but I love the grid side!)

[Margaret Nickerson @MeanMakerSpace]

Had a great day of PD with Jared Sliger from @BTCthinks! I’m so thankful for the opportunity from @LexRich5Schools! Great day, great learning, and great people!

[Peter Liljedahl @pgliljedahl]

We are looking forward to it!

[Margaret Nickerson @MeanMakerSpace]

Had a great time with @andie_lance and @DiscoveryEd painting Disco at Painting with a Twist! Thanks for a great time with fellow educators!

[Margaret Nickerson @MeanMakerSpace]

Had a great time meeting Mary Haney with @BELOVEDeducator at the SASUP conference today! So many ideas!

[Margaret Nickerson @MeanMakerSpace]

Loving the grid side of the @Wipebook! Now I know why I see these boards taped to existing whiteboards—the GRID is a game changer for @BTCthinks. These 3rd graders discovered arrays on their own! We just named it! ❤️ #D5Coach

[Margaret Nickerson @MeanMakerSpace]

Big shoutout to @Wipebook for transforming our professional development sessions! Your innovative tools made learning interactive and fun. Our team's engagement has never been higher! 🚀📚 Thanks for the raffle too! The winner is so excited! #D5Coach #buildingthinkingclassrooms

[Margaret Nickerson @MeanMakerSpace]

@KamiApp I got to meet with my coaching team today for professional development and I’m excited about the new school year!

[Margaret Nickerson @MeanMakerSpace]

@Jeffharker314 @Wipebook @pgliljedahl Thanks! I’m a coach serving 2 elementary schools. We did a BTC book club at one school last year and I’m growing it to my other school this year. It’s all still very new but I’m obsessed and it’s spreading like fire! I would love any tips you picked up on the process!

[Margaret Nickerson @MeanMakerSpace]

Woohoo! Thank you @Wipebook for these books! I’m so excited to start a book club with these Building Thinking Classrooms books by @pgliljedahl and use these Whiteboards from @Wipebook! It’s gonna be a year filled with learning!

[Margaret Nickerson @MeanMakerSpace]

I’m loving this conference and love learning alongside friends! @ModelSchoolsHMH #MSC2024

[Margaret Nickerson @MeanMakerSpace]

#MSC2024 Conference Day 1!

@AplinEDU @jimknight99 So jealous!

[Margaret Nickerson @MeanMakerSpace]

@LoungingLearner @burgessdave A5: Rubrics! Create the rubric with your students. Use your standard as your guide and ask students what they need to show that they know. Intermediate rubrics are great to name what students do independently and what they do with a partner. Finally, take pictures! #LearnLAP

[Margaret Nickerson @MeanMakerSpace]

@HeatherSanteach @MrsBHolden Yes! I just read a book by Catlin Tucker and Katie Novak called The Shift to Student Led!

[Margaret Nickerson @MeanMakerSpace]

@HeatherSanteach @MrsBHolden I know! You were such a great teacher for William! Check it out. The concepts apply to all content areas. The first thing that hooked me is when they said the "I do, we do, you do" model is great for mimicking, not for thinking!
