Thank you! Loved being back. You have inspired me, yet again! @KrisciaCabral #caedchat

[Cathy Lachel @cathl7]

@KrisciaCabral Yes! The thinking behind the action is there. Now I need to be even more purposeful.

[Cathy Lachel @cathl7]

I have read the book cover to cover and taken notes. I am mainly working on Identity. I have yet to dissect each of my lessons to closely follow the framework. I may need to start with one/two subjects. Reading/SS #caedchat

[Cathy Lachel @cathl7]

A7. Again I am still learning, reading, researching, following the "experts" to guide me. Join discussions like this! #caedchat

[Cathy Lachel @cathl7]

@KrisciaCabral Yes! I often ask the students, "Why do you think we are doing this? Let them come up with those answers. #caedchat

[Cathy Lachel @cathl7]

@KrisciaCabral Absolutely! Self-reflection. Understand the voices being heard and the silent voices. Empathy is always present. #caedchat

Q4: Skills embedded in purposeful and meaningful content. Using Scholastic Storyworks this year with current articles, stories, debates and more. #caedchat

[Cathy Lachel @cathl7]

@KrisciaCabral It has definitely opened up our four walls! #caedchat

[Cathy Lachel @cathl7]

Go slow to go fast.Truly take the time to learn about each other first. Everyone has a story. Curriculum comes second. #caedchat

@principledlady Love this. Zoom makes others so much more accessible these days! #caedchat

[Cathy Lachel @cathl7]

Start with community building and learning and connecting with each other. This year we started with a "Selfie Slide" including a recording of them saying their name, and they "walking in" song. Identity first. #caedchat
