Learners spent time last week considering some of the indirect guidance strategies in place for them @psd_futures_lab. Results; 'feel like an adult & independent' 'makes me want to come' 'sets up for success' 'heard, understood & able to express concerns'.
@KPaigeWilliams@bamfordelement1 @psd_futures_lab @KPaigeWilliams it was just what I needed to remember what I know. I brought ideas about getting everyone to share without centering myself right back to class.
Yes! Lets fix this. I sold a car to have $$ during student teaching. I just heard about 2 students who dropped out of teacher prep programs b/c they couldn’t afford the Praxis test for necessary for placement.
HB 1220 would give teacher prep students an $11K stipend for 16-week student teaching, more for longer. Cleared first hurdle today, 8-1. Deans say not being able to afford student teaching #1 reason promising prospective teachers drop out. https://t.co/Il8bxQwuwM #edcolo#coleg
Started the day @UNC_Colorado #UNCFT with a keynote from @TooDopeTeachers Loved the realness. And this one this one. The further we get from the classroom the worse it is for learners.
After checking out prototypes and input I tried a ball cap & buttons. I’ve worn it all morning and it’s prefect. Now we just need @PoudreSchools to share branded hats for PPE. Luckily I have a @psd_futures_lab one already. #designthinking@KPaigeWilliams
I’m so thankful that @PoudreSchools is giving teachers KN95 masks. Has anyone figured out how to wear them? The ear loops are made for a tiny elf. Please share hacks!
@KPaigeWilliams@PoudreSchools @psd_futures_lab Ta-da! After learning from your prototypes I sewed buttons this am and now I’ve got a great solution. Now we need hats to be part of our @PoudreSchools PPE!
Yes!! Congrats to Kelly & Nick for applying to & being awarded an Otter Cares Innovation Stations grant that will benefit all pathways at Futures Lab. 👊🏻 @OtterCares
