@GraceED634@DrKCarlson I like your thoughts, Grace. I think it’s ok to enjoy where you are at now! But I feel you have many experiences in your future & never know what they could bring! I like being prepared, so hopefully this class has helped you in higher Ed.
@Mrs_Mocol@DrKCarlson I was thinking the same thing about ones I felt I already knew about myself. Something I added were ones I hadn’t even realized were strengths - it brought in a good perspective for me to reflect!
@bethjlasseter@DrKCarlson Great point Beth! I like the idea of an accountability partner, even it’s through taking classes together or staying in line for goals.
@sm26346506@DrKCarlson Great point! It’s easy to associate with people who have similarities, but I like the focus of getting what you NEED for your team.
@DrKCarlson A4: First, it was refreshing just focusing on strengths, no negatives. In tough situations I can see myself looking back on these, and even suggesting it to other co-workers or teachers/leaders! #ED634
@DrKCarlson A3: There we’re a couple strengths I expected to have, but there were others that surprised me from my assessment! It allowed me to reflect on my teaching & look back at situations and how I have used, or could use, those strengths #ED634
@DrKCarlson A2: I think it’s important to focus on strengths, but reflect on weaknesses. Even though it may be tough, asking someone else what they think of your work can get another perspective. Knowing what you can work on or emphasis could be vital to your organization #ED634
@DrKCarlson A1: Chances are, your strengths could be the missing link that could be a part of a great team! When leaders lead with their strengths, it is more likely that employees will do the same.
My 5th & 6th graders used @Flipgrid as a choice this week to show me their learning of Components of Fitness. I was so surprised at how many chose this route and how well they did! Thank you Flipgrid!
So simple, yet effective & allowed me to step back. We used a coin to make teams today - kids were excited to see what team fate chose for them & I didn’t have to bother making teams or deal with complaints!
What fun ways do you use to help you make teams??
@eliluna1213@LightEduFires@TomSchimmer And I think this can relate to any level of K-12 education. On any day students can do something above their grade level & the next day they do something that makes you question their thought process… we have to remember - they are children
@sarajpetersons@LightEduFires This is nicely used in PE. There are standards & skills that students can demonstrate in a multitude of games & activities!
@LightEduFires A4: I think I already embody the idea of using current skills & knowledge for grading for PE. We only send out a concrete grade to families each semester, so my department had conversation of how to grade for this. We don’t do it perfect, but use the concept. #msum644
@LightEduFires@TomSchimmer This is something I struggled with this past year - is the student having troubles or do they really not want to do something… identifying that I think is tough
@MrBurgard@LightEduFires@TomSchimmer I found it interesting when the book related it to real world experiences (second chances). Puts it into perspective.
@MrBurgard@LightEduFires@TomSchimmer Standards in PE are so different & there are so many for elem that we would be standing w/ a clipboard everyday to assess it all. Lots of formative assessments, observations & reflecting on students’ recent demonstration & application of skills.
