@zwhiteford@AOBedchat You cannot give what you don't have. Practice self-care. Sleep. Create manageable lists, and concentrate on what you have accomplished vs what is left to be done. Isn't that what you want your students to do?
@AOBedchat I watched students work with engineers and construction professionals to transform the campus of their school by designing and building an amphitheater/outdoor classroom. That is a literal example of 'leaving a place better than you found it.' #AOBedchat Q2
@AOBedchat It is about teaching students about a growth mindset vs. a fixed mindset. A growth mindset says you can learn whatever you put your mind to. Carol Dweck give examples in her book of people that have succeeded because of that mindset. #AoBEdChat Q3
@AOBedchat It is exciting to see students engaged in learning that is authentic and relevant to solving real-world problems. They aren't learning with the hope of using it some day. They are using the learning today! #AoBEdChat Q1
@AOBedchat@MrMillerSAS Thanks Joe and St. Augustine's for all that you do for our students and for your colleagues in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. #AoBEdChat
@DBallWriter Parents like to know that teachers are working together for the benefit of their child. When teachers in a department work together the student wins because the talents of the teachers are shared. #AoBedchat
A5: I think any & all topics are open for #Collaboration across grade levels & topics if we begin thinking outside the box. It requires us to be open to new ideas #AOBedchat
@AOBedchat Q3 Time is always a challenge for educators. Educators are so busy that collaboration may seem to take away valuable time. In the end once you have a great network, it saves you time.
@AOBedchat Q2 The benefit to collaborating is that when you learn from your colleagues your students benefit from your expertise but also the expertise of other great teachers.
@AOBedchat This is Donna Hargens. I am proud to work with amazing teachers and principals in the Archdiocese of Baltimore as the Superintendent of Catholic Schools.
Make sure that you join the conversation on December 10th chat and invite 2-3 more to join with you. That would create a movement of participation and collaboration. #AOBedchat
@AobedchatG@amylpie#AOBEdChat Tonight has been great! Lots of great conversation. Make sure you mark your calendars for our December 10th chat. We are having a combined EdChat with the Archdiocese of Washington. The whole chat will focus on collaboration.
A7: I loved watching our 8th graders 3D design in @tinkercad and print our school crest! Students were researching our school history and creating a keepsake before graduating. #AOBedchat @StAugustineElem
