@HistorywithMsBC Society at its worst. Not only do you need to be supported and protected that young person actually NEEDS consequences for actions so they can learn to live in society. Glad you had support from students/colleagues. Our soft approach benefits nobody. Thank u for your dedication

Completing the square by INQUIRY, using BTC principles. Such a pleasure to watch them think, figure it out and teach themselves #buildingthinkingclassrooms #peterlilejedahl

Before we can help we must empathise. #Teacherburnout #mentor #support #teacherattrition

I gave them choice of task >>>> They gave me back self- directed, self- motivated, thinking, group work for some, individual work for others, risk, reason, explaining, communication. I am just sad to be losing these students soon #buildingthinkingclassrooms

@howie_hua 10 lots of 13 is 130. 2 lots of 13 is 26. So 130 + 26= 156

@mrs_frommert @pgliljedahl Yes I am exactly there. My challenge now is to convince myself and others to rethink the tests

5 tips to reduce stress of staff.
1) if asking to meet with them, let them know why.
2) Don't address an issue you have with one person with the whole staff.
3) praise a lot more than you critique
4) less meetings
5) continual encouragement and support

@Headteacherchat Learnt this in my first career as am actuary, but it's really earned it's value for me in teaching. Those things that fall into the delete box give me a sense of freedom to not do things, the rest gives me a sense of control and a clear "to do" list

Does anyone use ‘The Eisenhower Matrix’?

If you write out the numbers from 1 to 1000, how many times will you write the number 7? @pgliljedahl task from #buildingthinkingclassrooms

All year this kid says, “I just know I am right in my head, I can’t explain it.” Today, - this and a verbal explanation to his peers. Unlocking what happens in his head might just change the world. #communication #softskills #buildingthinkingclassrooms @pgliljedahl

Group lectio Divina with this reading. Voted by my students as their favourite (math) lesson this year! #kolbe #prayerinmath

I agree but these are 2 of my favourite "go tos"

The first makes me think and adjust the big picture,my whole pedagogy. The second provides high quality, engaging tasks and lessons. Worth a wade through these 2.

[Helen Cooper @Hcoops76]

Great task to start a stats unit, but I've always had to demonstrate my thinking to get kids started. My @pgliljedahl "grade8 thinkers" tackled it like pros today. Many solutions proposed, mistakes made, checked, adjusted, reasoned and argued about. I just sat back and watched

Love how Vertical Non Permanent Space (VNPS) @pgliljedahl have transformed my classroom over the past few weeks. #collaboration #risktaking

[Helen Cooper @Hcoops76]

After so much success using 3 practices #buildingthinkinglearning @pgliljedahl with two of my classes last term, I went in guns blazing this morning with a third class (I should have known!). Resistance,complaining and not much thinking :( Will try again #lifelonglearning
