I want to give my learners an opportunity to share the information they would put on their learner profile! #LPedchat

[MrWhiteaker @MrWhiteaker]

@dschnabel_edu Could be a great way to start the year in PLC groups!

[MrWhiteaker @MrWhiteaker]

I think educator profiles are a great idea to help guide professional learning. Never a bad idea to model what we preach and give educators choice on what/how they learn professionally! #LPedchat

@kelli_trudeau I always enjoy trying to bring other subjects like art and physical education into math and science! Great to see learners use their interest to learn.

A2: I see learner profiles as a way for me to personalize choice boards, seminars, and projects to better fit the learners in my learning center. Also a way for learners to practice agency. #LPedchat

@chaaven @dschnabel_edu @MeganMargerum One of our secondary educators uses a gameboard outside of her classroom where learners place a sticker on a standard once they have shown proficiency.

A1: I like to give choice on how learners will interact with academic vocabulary. I give them several choices as well as a wild card if they have their own idea! #LPedchat

Here is an example of what ours look like in our learning center. #edchat #LPedchat

Hello, I am a secondary science educator at Northern Cass High School! Excited to see the awesome things people are doing with learner profiles! #LPedchat

A3 I think the key to making a classroom learner centered is unobtrusive assessment throughout a chapter/unit. Providing learners with feedback that matches where they are at instead of based on the pace you set. #TLAedchat

[MrWhiteaker @MrWhiteaker]

@Mrs_Danielson I think this is a very powerful assessment tool! Sometimes learners just have a block when it comes to putting pencil to paper!

[MrWhiteaker @MrWhiteaker]

@Mrs_Danielson Are they required to fill out their whole weekly schedule or do some activities take more time than others? #TLAedchat

[MrWhiteaker @MrWhiteaker]

A2 I have started using Gimkit as an assessment piece for learners to show basic knowledge before they can move on to an assessment that shows proficiency #TLAedchat

[Alyssa Danielson @Mrs_Danielson]

A1: I use choice boards with "must dos" and "may dos," give choice in how learners organize their time to complete tasks with their PLP (they schedule their day!), and collect lots of learner input on writing/reading topics! #TLAedchat

[MrWhiteaker @MrWhiteaker]

@Sam11Herb I also do this and it seems like kids really do appreciate this! I think it takes some of the stress out of testing, and shows that it truly is all about the learning. #TLAedchat

[MrWhiteaker @MrWhiteaker]

A1 I like to provide my learners choice when it comes to learning new terms. Anything from rewording definitions to study games like gimkit and quizlet! #TLAedchat
