For children childhood is not just preparatory. It is their existence and all they know. Very sadly some children don't grow to be adults. Education has to be more than just getting children ready for things to come.

Finland also ranks as one of the “happiest” countries. Is there a connection? #moravianar

Finland’s education system is one of the best in the world 🇫🇮 https://t.co/2K2Ij6XQCJ

I am devastated. My students—who have only experienced education systems which value grades and testing and nothing else—do not come to my class with a liberal humanist mindset seeking education and culture for its own sake.

I love the idea of kids as teachers. For some reason peers listen to them more. #moravianar

When you put learners in the driver’s seat as “teachers”, it’s incredible to see what they create and share with each other! #flippedclassroom #studentteachers #coppellisd #westfam @CMSWestWrangler

I am considering focusing on scientific literacy for my inquiry project. This is why. #moravianar

Correlations Among High School Students' Beliefs about Conspiracy, Authoritarianism, and Scientific Literacy

The findings suggest that increasing scientific literacy could simultaneously reduce authoritarianism and epistemologically unfounded beliefs https://t.co/mAJvtvSNT9

Is anyone seeing things like this happen in their schools? #moravianar

Stop designing busy work as “learning opportunities”. Be more intentional to get make real results happen

There’s a difference between writing a good lesson plan and being a good teacher. And there’s a difference between writing a good school improvement plan and being a good leader.

The difference is found in the human connections.

Have a student you're struggling with?

Try the 'two-by-ten' strategy:

For two minutes each day, 10 days in a row, have a personal conversation with the student about anything the student is interested in.

Wonderfully simple and wildly effective.

A2: I would be interested in a chat with other teachers who have written books about flipping classes. The more connections and resources, the more likely I am to succeed in this. #flipclasschat

[AChavelas @chavelas_a]

I would love to know how others are handling support from administration or lack thereof. As well as what type of tech resources others have found most valuable. #flipclasschat

[AChavelas @chavelas_a]

My name is Alicia. I am a high school science teacher for 9th grade general science and 10th grade Bio. I have not yet flipped a classroom but am learning all I can to begin flipping in the near future. #flipclasschat

[AChavelas @chavelas_a]

A5: Start with "guided inquiry". Within a topic or project make the decision of the overall topic or overall structure of the project but allow students choice within it. #moravianAR

[AChavelas @chavelas_a]

A3: Ask followup questions. Ask a lot of "why" questions or "how" questions. #moravianAR

[AChavelas @chavelas_a]

A1: I allow students to pick the variables they test in labs. #moravianAR
