It all starts with relationships and class culture. Let your students know that you believe in them and give them the power. I can’t wait to see what my Ss will do, learn and teach me! #RCSDconnect#LLAPRCSD@paulsolarz
I plan to incorporate more project-based assignments this year, get them asking bigger and better questions, and give them the responsibility to discover through research, communication, and problem solving. #RCSDconnect#LLAPRCSD@paulsolarz
Rather than focusing on grades, we encourage our students to learn and grow with positive, specific and timely feedback, providing opportunities and tools needed to self-reflect, and to share constructive feedback with one another. #RCSDconnect#LLAPRCSD@paulsolarz
“Collaboration is the corner stone of a student-led classroom” (p.38) It will be interesting to find new ways to facilitate constructive opportunities for group collaboration this year. #RCSDconnect#LLAPRCSD@paulsolarz
Was feeling apprehensive but now excited to explore the possibilities with my students, using these new devices and technology to enhance learning, encouraging collaboration and problem solving, and promoting creativity! #RCSDconnect#InnovatorsMindsetrcsd
While watching Obvious to You, Amazing to Others, it really struck a chord with me when Derek said, “we’re often a bad judge of our own creations”. I hope to be less hesitant to share the ideas that may seem obvious and uninspired to me. #RCSDConnect#InnovatorsMindsetrcsd
If I had an extra hour a day, I would spend it collaborating with colleagues. There are such terrifically innovative connected educators at St Kateri and I would love to spend time sharing ideas and learning from and with them. #RCSDConnect#InnovatorsMindsetrcsd
