A4- flexibility - I often envision lessons going a certain way but I need to remind myself it's okay to change plans, accept help, and give myself grace when needed. #NPSDCHAT

[Meg Burke @megburkeall4ed]

This right here #NPSDCHAT is so important for us to remember for ourselves, our students, our families, and each other. The role of teachers matters more than ever right now as @katiemartinedu writes in her recent article.

[Stephanie Wolf @stephwolfNPSD]

A3- establishing relationships with students, small group meetings/lessons, student choice, and student to student collaboration will be key for authentic and active learning to take place. #npsdchat

[Ron Martiello @RonMartiello]

Q3. Digitizing curriculum and monitoring completion of assignments is not engagement. What are some ways teachers can maximize more learning for students and less assigning? #NPSDCHAT

[Stephanie Wolf @stephwolfNPSD]

A1- we need to allow students to have a choice and voice within the virtual classroom. we need to allow time for students to have collaborative projects as well as time to reflect on the feedback given on projects and tasks.#npsdchat

[Meg Burke @megburkeall4ed]

Teaching in the fall brings with it a lot of newness and uncertainty. Intentional design to empower learners is key. Looking forward to hearing from you #NPSDCHAT with Q2.

[Stephanie Wolf @stephwolfNPSD]

A1- intentionally design feedback maybe a challenging shift to ensure it is purposeful and allows the student to use the feed forward to help them grow. I need to ensure I give authentic feedback in the best way possible.

[Ron Martiello @RonMartiello]

Q1: Based on Katie Martin’s “Key Shifts and Considerations for Distance Learning” graphic, which shifts do you think will be the most difficult to make?
#NPSDCHAT

[Stephanie Wolf @stephwolfNPSD]

@CarolynBarrH This is definitely a concern!

[Stephanie Wolf @stephwolfNPSD]

Hi everyone! Looking forward to today's chat joining from rainy Quakertown, Pa!

[Meg Burke @megburkeall4ed]

We are excited to kick off this #NPSDCHAT with @RMartielloNPSD @megsmithNPSD and @mikebotti. Please join us as we share @katiemartinedu work and reflect on making positive shifts during distance learning.

[Stephanie Wolf @stephwolfNPSD]

A4- give myself grace and be flexible. Listen and be understanding of colleagues, share ideas, and be open to improvement. I want to be the best version of myself and taking feed-forward along the way is important to my development. #npsdchat

[Meg Burke @megburkeall4ed]

As always our #NPSDCHAT is on fire! Here is our final question to end the chat before our shout outs.

[Stephanie Wolf @stephwolfNPSD]

A3- I like the idea of "plussing"- addressing the issue, explaining why it could be a problem, and then discussing alternatives together to fixing the problem. It allows people to see the situation in a different or more positive light. #npsdchat

[Meg Burke @megburkeall4ed]

Sometimes teacher to teacher feedback is tricky, let's hear what you have to say about it with Q3 #NPSDCHAT

[Stephanie Wolf @stephwolfNPSD]

A2- Improves S learning because it focuses on a few skills happening at the moment instead of waiting until the end when the S can no longer go back and improve on the piece. Ff allows the teacher to coach and use an interactive process which helps to empower the S #npsdchat

[Meg Burke @megburkeall4ed]

Wow! We are slaying this chat together. Let's keep it going with Q2 #NPSDCHAT

[Stephanie Wolf @stephwolfNPSD]

@jmarshallNPSD I agree! I really liked having writing conferences because I was able to give them support while they were working in the moment.

[Stephanie Wolf @stephwolfNPSD]

A1- feedforward allows Ss to develop and improve with concepts and skills. It is given in the moment while working which allows Ss to grow and put a positive connotation on improvement. It focuses on one particular skill rather than numerous ones. #npsdchat

[Meg Burke @megburkeall4ed]

Let's get started with Q1 inspired by @cultofpedagogy and the idea of moving from feedback to feedforward. #NPSDCHAT

[Stephanie Wolf @stephwolfNPSD]

Steph Wolf, 3rd at WF and checking in from Quakertown, PA #npsdchat

[Stephanie Wolf @stephwolfNPSD]

A4- personalized learning will be important to meet student needs. Mini conferences will help to individualize student needs and build relationships. #npsdchat

[Meg Burke @megburkeall4ed]

Wow! We have reached our last question. Q4 is extremely relevant and important, especially at the start of the year knowing students will be at various levels impacted by remote learning and other social/emoitonal factors. #NPSDCHAT

[Stephanie Wolf @stephwolfNPSD]

@ctriggioNPSD Love the smart goals!

[Stephanie Wolf @stephwolfNPSD]

A3- I plan to use both formal and informal assessment measures. I also want to allow students to have real conversations with me about how they feel about their learning and encourage honest self-assessment and goal creation #NPSDCHAT

[Ron Martiello @RonMartiello]

Q3. After creating these learning opportunities, conditions, and pathways, how will you measure student competencies?
#NPSDCHAT

[Stephanie Wolf @stephwolfNPSD]

A2- students need to feel comfortable and safe in there learning environment. They also need to know the teacher supports them, believes in them, and gets to know them personally just not academically,#NPSDCHAT

[Stephanie Wolf @stephwolfNPSD]

A1- Authentic learning to me means that students are actively engaged in the activity and that each student is able to relate to the content. When students are engaged, real learning can take place. #NPSDCHAT

[Ron Martiello @RonMartiello]

Q1: Last week we talked about creating authentic and relevant learning experiences for students. What is your definition of an authentic learning experience?

A4- student choice will be essential and helping students become independent and responsible learners. Continuing to incorporate more technology will help provide Ss choice and keep them interested.

[Mike Botti @mikebotti]

Q4: Students were asked to be the navigators of their own learning during the pandemic. How can you continue to foster independent and relevant learning opportunities for students from a distance or face to face? #NPSDCHAT

[Stephanie Wolf @stephwolfNPSD]

A2- I will use this data to create lesson plans and determine different types of technology that I can use that would benefit my students. #npsdchat

[Mike Botti @mikebotti]

Q2. Once you have this snapshot of student learning and data how will you use it?
