Thank you to everyone from the #LearnLAP twitter chat! I am learning so much from you all as a future educator and I can't wait to put some of these things in my own classroom one day! :)
A8 in #21stcenturylearning a student centered classroom helps the students take leadership in their learning and they are responsible for knowing the material #LearnLAP
A7 I don't think I go a single day without making a goal - short or long term! I make goals at what I'm going to accomplish and goals on what I am going to achieve this semester. Goals create organization and a student will only be successful when they are organized #LearnLAP
A6 have the students turn in something that shows their progress or what they are learning. It will show their initiative and where they are going in their learning #LearnLAP
@RichHayzler I had teachers in the past who weren't flexible and I didn't feel as comfortable opening up to them academically and creatively. I was afraid of a negative reaction
A5 it is hard in a Special Ed classroom because some kids are simply not flexible but what you have to do is take the little bit they are flexible and expand it as far as it can go and meet them at their level #LearnLAP
@JoveStickel Honestly, as a student, this frustrated me so much when teachers did this but as an education major, I am seeing the benefits of it! #LearnLAP
@biologygoddess This made me think of the episode of the magic school bus where Ms. Frizzle let the students believe Liz was abducted and they have to go search on their own to find out what really happened
A4 my teacher mentor told me while working on my lesson plan for a class that even if you think they know it, review it because there is always someone lost or behind. Reflect in the beginning, middle, end, and everywhere in between #LearnLAP
A3 a student centered classroom increases critical thinking! When they become more involved with their learning they are forced to think for themselves and have to solve problem on their own like they would in the real world #LearnLAP
@MrPStrunk @KGT_Educator I think it would be fun if before you taught the students what happens next in history, let them imagine and pretend and predict what will happen. This will help with creativity and help the students feel more connected with the material
@JoveStickel Celebrating their creativity almost act as a reinforcing their behavior which will make them want to explore more and become more creative!
A2 I have always been seen as more creative than others but that is only because my teachers let me explore my mind and let me discover who I am. Don't laugh at the student but encourage them to explore more #learnLAP
@DrBody4Life I wasn't taught this growing up so trying to learn this in college is difficult and I am definitely learning what things I want to change and how I want to make a difference when I become a teacher
