Here's link to our Home-based Exploration Ideas! From your friends at #emints @emintsnc @MizzouEducation #emintsAT

[Brooke Higgins @higginsb]

Thinking critically MUST continue to be encouraged/practiced whether learning F2F or remotely. Ss who develop critical thinking skills are more apt to think “outside the box”, & are more self-directed, independent learners. #criticalthinking #emints @emintsnc #4Cs #emintstips

Feedback can provide insight into the thinking of your students. Whether it is to gauge understanding or to discover avenues of higher reasoning, feedback is the map to navigate the journey!

“Our job is to teach the students we have. Not the ones we would like to have. Not the ones we used to have. Those we have right now. All of them.”

[Denis Knight @denisknight28]

you are an amazing trainer. Students are engaged!!

[Tiffany Gray @tiffanyrae_gray]

Had so much fun in Ms. Byrd's kindergarten art class today! Love their inquiry, creativity, engagement, and how they welcomed me into their class. I hope this joy of learning doesn't diminish over the 6 short years before I have them in class! #eMINTS #CindyLouWho

Wait time is a key skill for educators/coaches, but avg wait time is ~1 second.

Challenge: Embrace brief silence before & after questions to see if you get higher level, longer responses. You might also see increased student engagement! #emintstips @emintsnc #emints #coaching

Build trust by giving trust...
1. Presume positive intentions
2. Recognize other’s strengths
3. Forgive mistakes quickly
4. Never practice “gotcha” leadership
5. Take blame, share credit
6. Increase autonomy
7. Encourage initiative

@higginsb @emintsnc Look someone in the eye, stay focused on the conversation, use questioning strategies to get higher level thought, and paraphrase to improve understanding.
