[Theodore Kirkbride @MrKirkbride]

A7 Take the time to know the kids, their strengths weaknesses, their culture, their passion, scaffold appropriately, be inspiring #caedchat

[Theodore Kirkbride @MrKirkbride]

A7 Make it just like #caedchat. It will go so fast that it will transport you hours into the future but only seem like seconds.

[Theodore Kirkbride @MrKirkbride]

A6 Stop. It is important to fix the engagement level. You wouldn’t keep driving if you had a flat tire? #caedchat

[Theodore Kirkbride @MrKirkbride]

A5 Grades, poor relationships w adults, lizard brain due to traumatic life experiences - we can overcome all of those factors. #caedchat

[Leila Sackfield @principledlady]

A4: Band, choir, theatre, drama. The arts are natural engagement opportunities #artsmatter. #caedchat

[Kevin Ashworth @SLOlifeKevin]

A4: b/c I'm doing it tomorrow, the Week of Inspirational Math lessons by @YouCubedOrg & @joboaler are some of the best lessons. #caedchat

[Theodore Kirkbride @MrKirkbride]

A4 Can’t beat a science lesson. Try running on a swimming pool of Oobleck on Dr. Seuss’ Birthday 4 an inquiry w Newtonian fluids. #caedchat

[Theodore Kirkbride @MrKirkbride]

@SLOlifeKevin @AppEducationFox Traditional grades seem to be meant to foster compliance, and can foster resistance, and even rebellion against learning instead. #caedchat

[Theodore Kirkbride @MrKirkbride]

A3 Ss engagement looks, sounds, and feels like a noisy room without a teacher, that is buzzing with energy. #caedchat

[Kevin Ashworth @SLOlifeKevin]

Ugh! Compliance can be a big issue. Sometimes have to train ss to not be compliant- to not just accept things happening "to" them. #caedchat

[Leila Sackfield @principledlady]

A1: In order for motivation to kick in there must be perceived hope & belief by Ss that they can do it That's why we need teachers #caedchat

[Theodore Kirkbride @MrKirkbride]

A2 Ownership. Ss need a purpose not just for the transferrable skill but also how it will have a positive impact on the community. #caedchat

[Jo-Ann Fox @JoAnnFoxEDU]

@LemarrTreadwell How about flipping that paradigm and getting them to CREATE the content, rather than consume it. #caedchat

[Leila Sackfield @principledlady]

A1: Respectful,relevant tasks and rigorous academic discourse facilitated by a skilled practitioner who knows, values & ❤️s her Ss #caedchat

[Theodore Kirkbride @MrKirkbride]

@LemarrTreadwell I have been thinking about this a lot. I haven’t figured out how to make that connection though.
