Yes to keeping both the Zoom and PD options #CISDLearns

[Clara Caussey @IC_Clara]

A5 If I was in the classroom, I would want to keep Zoom. I'd love to continue to host hybrid tutorials for those who can't be around before or after school. I also hope that we continue to offer hybrid/virtual PD for educators! #CISDLearns

A5. Face to Face will bring back the physical activities, games, songs w/ gestures, team competitions, vocab card games ... #CISDLearns

A4. For newcomers, I work to reduce their stress. They start off over-whelmed with "too many words" coming so fast. I make them know they are in a safe place with people who are confident in them. #CISDLearns

A3. I wonder what accessibility tools would help the Newbies? #CISDLearns

[Robin Watson @robin_watson]

A3 Schoology Accessibility features like the options in Amp tests to click and drag for labelling, ordering and matching; this measures understanding instead of writing. #CISDLearns

[Robin Watson @robin_watson]

A2 With a very small group, children or adults; they need stems, vocab, or pictures at hand to rely on. Looking directly and making the human connection when I speak, but allowing them to look away when they are formulating their response. The tug of communication. #CISDLearns

[Robin Watson @robin_watson]

A1 Because it can make or break the relationship with the student, it is the Social and Emotional aspects that concern me most. #CISDLearns

[Robin Watson @robin_watson]

Social emotional is what I hope to learn more about. #CISDLearns

Q6. Look for what is right. Communicate helpful feedback on the positives. Lets students tell me if they think something is missing. #CISDLearns

[Robin Watson @robin_watson]

Go beyond what's wrong, beyond deficit grading. Highlight what is correct.

[Robin Watson @robin_watson]

Q5 Creativity pairs great with choice and freedom. "Show me what you know" This often gets deeper thought and effort. I love that we can mark what they have instead of marking what is missing. #CISDLearns

[Robin Watson @robin_watson]

Q3. I'm sure the district and the state need numbers to look at but when I examine the materials in Thrively, they help teachers focus on reaching out individually to students. How can we build them up? Give them self-evaluation tools instead? #CISDLearns

[Robin Watson @robin_watson]

Q3. This is a year to not focus on what was missed, or what they didn't master. They have learned so many life skills, so many emotional tools, so many self-directional motivations. We can't measure this, but it is important. #CISDLearns
