Twitter - Awesome insights this week on the difference between Engaging students and Empowering them. I also read a tweet by George Couros about 10 easy ways to create an amazing classroom culture. This will come in handy when we move to our new building at the end of the month and I am establishing new norms. Thanks, George!
10 Ways To Create an Amazing Classroom Culture
AJJuliani had posts about How to take criticism and about the Global Day of Design. (GDD18) I am excited to try one of his challenges with my science classes. I am also excited to see the new book by Katie Martin about Professional Learning that inspires student centered learning. #40CF has six questions to ask yourself everyday. Angela Watson had some great tips for writing report card comments in the #40HTWW club and I have already started using them! Jo Boaler put up a new poster on youcubed.org and a link to an article in Education Week about Educational Strategies Teachers might be missing out on. Jo's section was very informative and I am intrigued to read more about a strategy called QFT - Question Formulation Technique. Here is a link to the article: http://blogs.edweek.org/teachers/classroom_qa_with_larry_ferlazzo/2018/01/response_instructional_strategies_that_teachers_might_be_missing.html
Reading - I read two articles about productive struggle. I really liked the concepts in the one about scaffolding. (Scaffolding for Access to Productive Struggle from Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School Vol. 23 No. 4 January/February 2018) I am going to try the Cartoon Corner activities from the same issue next week because that is the exact topic I am working on right now!
