My PLC just discussing which of our Ss would be so "innovative"!

[Michelle Smith, M. Ed. @miconmac21]

Are we showing students how to persevere after failure? Are we instilling in them the need to keep trying and not give up? Are we showing them that sometimes they have to develop a solution that works for them and not everyone else? #RHSInnovatorsch2

[Michelle Smith, M. Ed. @miconmac21]

@alex_alg1 I too love this idea! What a great way to have them think about what they meant to say at the time. Sometimes when we do corrections they have forgotten why they chose the answer they did. This makes them rethink! #RHSInnovatorsCh1

[Michelle Smith, M. Ed. @miconmac21]

@jeff_chandler1 Purpose sometimes is lost. The curriculum wants them to think critically but we are not given the time to teach them how to do that. We don’t delve deep into a skill before we have to take another skills test that really doesn’t have anything to do with what we are doing in class

[Michelle Smith, M. Ed. @miconmac21]

@alex_alg1 Designing a way to progress through the skills, concepts, curriculum that is not based on how many other students achieve mastery first. Flexible schedules works well, but also students developing and achieving skills at their own pace.

[Michelle Smith, M. Ed. @miconmac21]

@EdAdGear @gcouros #RHSInnovatorsCh1 I want to integrate technology more so that it helps me with differentiation. Sometimes I feel that some of my Ss are benefiting and others are not. I need more time to learn what each student needs from the assignment in order to be successful.

[Michelle Smith, M. Ed. @miconmac21]

@EdAdGear @gcouros I am creating change in two ways: trying to be more personable to my students and trying to encourage them in seeking success. Helping them learn to seek success and persevere through challenges is so important in their future endeavors.
