Effective student engagement begins with helping Ss understand the why and the what of questioning, dialogue, and feedback. Thank you @middleweb for featuring these blogs in which I explore these processes and connections @ascd @corwinpress @al_bpx

Applying Think Time to Formative Feedback https://t.co/1NPvvp9afg via @ASCD @Question2Think

Great read! Explicitly teaching Think Time is one of the best places to start as a classroom teacher. From my experience, it was an opportune time to help Ss establish connections.

@RachelGraves256 I love the idea of speciality teams!

[Bryan Rebar @bmrebar]

What a great way of thinking about collaboration and PLCs! I'm fortunate to work with so many teams that compliment and balance one another.

Nice metaphor for collab! A salad of just lettuce would be bland. It’s the combination and interplay of ingredients that make a dish great. And when mixed in the right way, ingredients don’t suppress the others. They bring out the best in each other. https://t.co/q4d0Lfc8oJ

Great reflective questions!

"What kinds of people are we trying to grow in our classroom spaces? What kind of communities are we trying to grow? What's the world we want and how do we use classrooms as an opportunity to practice that world?"

You were both wonderful today @Question2Think and @bmrebar Love hearing the passion for engaging all learners through formative feedback!

[Bryan Rebar @bmrebar]

@Question2Think @formative Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of this! I enjoyed learning from everyone and enjoyed hearing the discussion on the thoughtful questions posed in the chat!

@Question2Think
Q4: I believe time will always be a hindrance to giving Ss feedback. The personal challenge comes in building my repertoire of go-to tools and questions that allow me to make the most of my time and keep Ss moving forward in their thinking.

@AmandaSteel12 Getting students to look at Ss work samples and then compare/discuss is a great way to engage Ss! Using exemplar pieces gives clarity. Ss self-reflect, compare their own work, and rise to the standard.

[Bryan Rebar @bmrebar]

@AllThingsHallie @goformative I agree - the feedback we give should allow them to reflect on their current work and move them toward crafting higher quality responses in the future

@goformative Q2: My biggest strategy for giving students feedback was to plan for and anticipate Ss responses - having go questions or prompts scripted that reflect on their work or push their thinking forward

@Question2Think Feedback is a process that partners with students and draws them closer to learning targets.

I'm excited to get my hands on this book! QQ is such a vital part of learning - especially when we're intentional with what we're asking. Never underestimate the power of a good question and the insights we gain from responses.

Transparency doesn't mean sharing every detail.

Transparency means providing the context for the decisions we make.
