A4: Not explicitly teaching social and behavioral collaborative expectations can be a downfall. #PBLchat

[Rachel Fried @mrsfried6th]

Hear first, speak second. #pblchat

A2a: The activities don't have to be too different, esp b/c we want the same result - a supportive school culture. #PBLchat

[Rachel Fried @mrsfried6th]

A2: For Ss it's usually a "Find Someone Who..." sheet #PBLchat

[Rachel Fried @mrsfried6th]

A1: Positivity, respect, collaboration, and communication. #PBLchat

[Rachel Fried @mrsfried6th]

Constant communication and creating a safe, caring environment for Ss. #TLAP

@tishrich I'm having trouble seeing the even-numbered questions.

[Rachel Fried @mrsfried6th]

What is question 4? #TLAP

[Rachel Fried @mrsfried6th]

A1: 9/11. Teachers turning on the TVs in shock. The compassion that everyone showed to one another for weeks after. #TLAP

Thanks everyone! Your passion and energy for teaching is contagious and inspiring! #learnLAP

A7: Ss were given a ? and had to work through the steps of the sci. method (inc. design the experiment) to draw their conclusions. #learnLAP

[Rachel Fried @mrsfried6th]

Everyone must put forth their best effort. You don't need to get 100%, but you must give 100%. #learnLAP

[Rachel Fried @mrsfried6th]

It goes back to motivation and ownership. Ss love to be given choices. #learnLAP

[Rachel Fried @mrsfried6th]

A4: When Ss feel safe, valued, and comfortable, empowered learning ensues. #LearnLAP
