Looking for a elementary and middle school in NC to visit where coding is being taught. I want to begin helping teachers in my county to begin implementing coding. I would like to ask questions and learn from your experience.

The changing out of the PJs seems to be the great divider.😅

A8: As the year progresses, learning becomes more intrinsic for students. Re-assessing their learner profile helps them discover the skills that are moving them toward becoming expert learners. #nwresaPLCN #PLinNC

[Sabrina Norman @SNormanDLF]

A7: Create a calm and relaxed environment where learners feel free to express their thoughts without being “penalized” for wrong answers. #nwresaPLCN #PLinNC

[Sabrina Norman @SNormanDLF]

A6: Help the learner use their strengths, encourage the learning process rather than correct/incorrect answers. #nwresaPLCN #PLinNC

[Sabrina Norman @SNormanDLF]

A5: Allow learner voice and choice in how they present their learning. Art, chart, essay, multimedia, podcast. Allow the learner to capitalize on their strengths. #nwresaPLCN #PLinNC

[Sabrina Norman @SNormanDLF]

A4: Put learners in leadership roles of presenting their learning without the teacher laying the foundation for the lesson. Teacher completes the foundation after learners present the WHY. #nwresaPLCN #PLinNC

[Sabrina Norman @SNormanDLF]

A3: Why must teachers be the one to introduce the lesson? Why can’t learners be tasked with researching the topic and introducing what they learned. Then the teacher can fill in the gaps. #nwresaPLCN #PLinNC

[Sabrina Norman @SNormanDLF]

A2: I think when learners understand the WHY, it becomes more relevant to them. #nwresaPLCN #PLinNC

[Sabrina Norman @SNormanDLF]

A1: I think a blend of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. Initially it may be more extrinsic but as students are successful, they will move more toward the intrinsic motivation. #nwresaPLCN #PLinNC

I would have to observe the class and then make suggestions for improvement. Determine if procedures need to change or be adapted. #NWRESAPLCN #PLinNC

[Sabrina Norman @SNormanDLF]

A7: varied seating, comfortable, non-traditional, friendly, facilitates learning #NWRESAPLCN #PLinNC

[Sabrina Norman @SNormanDLF]

A6: This is what's best for your students. Your teaching will be positively transformed. It's worth it. #NWRESAPLCN #PLinNC

[Sabrina Norman @SNormanDLF]

Have an informal meeting to discuss their profile and what it means for their learning. Help them understand this will help them grow into becoming an expert learner. Help dissolve any negative thoughts and/or ideas about their learning path.

A4: I think it helps students see areas where they need more help and arms them with the knowledge to ask appropriate questions. Teachers should also put students at ease about asking questions.
#NWRESAPLCN #PLinNC

[Sabrina Norman @SNormanDLF]

A2: Build that relationship so that when you are working with the student in their weak area, they understand you care about them and are helping them turn that weakness into a strength. Help them work through their frustrations.

A1: Ask questions, learn their likes/dislikes, talents, wishes, needs, aspirations.

A7: I may not have 10 things yet, but here are a few.
1. PL does not look like a traditional classroom.
2. The teacher doesn't always have to be in front of the classroom.
3. There might be more noise because students are working
together.#nwresaPLCN
