A5 #EduSpin I see some elements of time for reflection, opportunities for innovation, critical thinkers and connected learning currently in our classroom. We need to work on voice, choice, problem solvers/finders and self-assessment. Our staff development lacks most of the 8
A4 #EduSpin Unlike our staff meetings, I try to create connections for my students by accepting and allowing students to learn at different paces and encouraging them to explore what they love to help them reach their highest potential
A3 #EduSpin I share with my students and colleagues what I’m learning about in my college classes. Sometimes I will simply talk about the topics and open it up for discussion and other times I might try something that I learned
A2 #EduSpin I model and explore new opportunities for learning by purposefully doing ‘think aloud’ or showing students how I might struggle with certain things and what skills or resources I use to gain information
A1 #EduSpin The current strengths of my organization are the many staff members that are passionate about getting others engaged in the climate and culture building of our school
A5 #EduSpin Preparing students for life by empowering students to turn their dreams, aspirations and strengths into concrete plans for the future through relationships and technology.
A4 #EduSpin I feel like the best way to empower the staff and students at my school would be “baby steps” at this point. I feel like change needs to come from the top down in order to truly work. Trust is a concern.
A3 #EduSpin I’m almost always in the ‘middle’ of a group of students trying to understand their needs. Many times I grab a copy of the work and do a “think aloud “ while I try to help them understand what is being asked of them.
A2 #EduSpin Providing my students with a positive, caring and trusting learning relationship allows me to empower students to take risks that they often times won’t take with other teachers. Standing next to them cheering them on sometimes.
A1 #EduSpin Relationships can make or break a teacher. I build relationships with my students by taking time to get to know them, how they learn, their likes and dislikes. I ‘seek first to understand then to be understood.’
A6: In terms of the characteristics of the innovator’s mindset, I am empathetic, observant, creative and reflective. I also can be a problem finder, risk taker and resilient so far. I need to work on taking the time to increase my networking skills. #EduSpin
