A5: One of the initiatives at my school is critical thinking. We are looking at the "why" we have offered the same opportunities every year. We want to see how we can change things we have done and make them better. As a school we can improve upon self reflection.#EduSpin

A4: In the new Makerspace at my school, teachers were given the opportunity to try the various materials purchased by our Parent Group. Later on, students were invited to explore the same as the teachers. Teachers are experiencing what they want students to experience.#EduSpin

A3: Meeting with other staff members on a daily or weekly basis allows me to share my ideas and learning. Using email and sharing documents on Google is another avenue. Using Twitter or blogging is another successful tool.#EduSpin

A2: Trying out new ideas for others to see helps to model new learning opportunities. For example, my school has started a MakerSpace in our library. The space is visible by all and can be used at any time by teachers and students.# EduSpin

A1: The strengths of my organization continue to be the supportive, caring teachers and staff members that engage students each and every day. Allowing staff members to utilize their strengths to help each other continues to help everyone move forward. #EduSpin

Hi I am Melissa Stoeckel, a reading specialist in Ross Local School District. #EduSpin

A5: My vision includes continually learning and trying new ideas. This would include thinking outside the box and empowering students by letting them explore new ways to use technology as well as letting them develop new ways and methods for learning.

A4: After introducing the skills for a new lesson, I let my students decide how to teach the same skill set to their peers. They may choose to work individually or as a team. Any method or materials may be used as long as the skills are taught effectively. #EduSpin

A3: The intervention team I work with introduced Right to Read Week at my building. I sat with the students and read with them. I sometimes reverse roles with my students and let them teach a concept or skill to me.#EduSpin

A2: I have the belief that if you do not take risks you will never learn anything new. I explain to others that to learn and grow you have to try new things. An example is initiating a 5th grade play for students to perform for their peers and parents.#EduSpin

A1: I build relationships first and foremost by listening to others in my building and district. If teachers ask for advice or ideas to help teach a specific skill, I always follow up with suggestions. If I don't have an answer I get back with them. #EduSpin

@Duds_Clock Great way to get students interested in learning.

[Melissa Stoeckel @readingedu]

A6: As a reading specialist, I encourage my students to try different strategies for decoding and understanding instead of giving up. I involve theatre in my traditional book club to build self-confidence and critical thinking skills.#EduSpin

[Melissa Stoeckel @readingedu]

A5: Sharing new and creative ideas among teachers, parents, and students in the community through social media platforms is a great place to start. Recognizing risk taking as a way to learn would encourage people to try new things.#EduSpin

@MrsKPriceEd That is a great idea!

[Melissa Stoeckel @readingedu]

A4: For students, the sharing of ideas, videos etc. on social media must be monitored. There must be constraints both inside and outside of the classroom for student safety. Certain websites deemed inappropriate for specific age groups must be controlled by adults. #EduSpin

[Melissa Stoeckel @readingedu]

A3: The use of technology has changed. Reaching individuals and groups of people with similar interests is available thanks to social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, blogs etc. This allows students more opportunities to access educational resources.#EduSpin

[Melissa Stoeckel @readingedu]

A2: Creating opportunities for innovation begins by listening to the ideas of administrators, teachers, and staff members. Choosing those ideas that work best for the learner should be at the forefront of all teaching and learning.#EduSpin
