1 hour till this phenomenal chat on the topic of MAKING THINKING VISIBLE with @JasonM_2 and @TanyaLeClair !! Can’t wait !! We will get through all and any timezones and daylight savings issues to make this an amazing chat! #AppleEDUchat Fire up @thansen_edu !! 🔥🔥
Q6
Maintain CURIOSITY
...I say maintain because students start school are curious beings, with minds full of questions...then the institution conforms them to understand that knowing the answer is more valuable than asking the question!! #brokensystem#AppleEDUchat
Q5
Best method I see is a teacher who brings it into the class in an authentic way...leads with reflective questions and is even vulnerable in their own reflections (could have done that better if I...) the a reflective culture is established. #AppleEDUchat
Q4
Freedom for a student to express understanding through any medium - where students ideas can be assessed in spite of the media used...SOLO Taxonomy is a great framework.
#AppleEDUchat
Q3
Tough question to get an answer for EVERY learner...my safest bet would be on a teacher with an insatiable appetite for each learners success...not a tool, but a good tool in the wrong teacher’s hands is meaningless...and same the other way...
#AppleEDUchat
Q2
Clarity in instruction and what success looks like
Confidence in self
Connection with other learners
And learning in the zone of proximal development
#AppleEDUchat
Q1
1. You are paid to be there...students are not
2. Design for the students you have, not the ones you wish you had
2. You don’t have to like each of your students but you must love each of them

Sorry to have missed the beginning but thanks again to @klbeasley and @NicholasKGarvin.
Heard a great quote that gave me good perspective on the #COVID19 journey
We might all be in the same storm BUT we are all in different boats 🚣♀️🚤⛵️⛴🚢

A7 tough one...still many unknowns. But from a leadership perspective
1. Laugh together when together.
2. Be flexible and keep everyone moving in the same direction.
3. Know your people and what each one is facing.
