We value forward thinking ideas from our students by providing opportunities to use technology in the classroom through STEM activities; and engage in inquiry based learning by using student-led questions to guide the direction of their learning.

We encourage flexible seating and mixed groupings. We also use our classroom ipads to encourage students to show their thinking and meet their individual needs. We also engage in STEM activities within the classroom to encourage problem solving and innovative thinking.

# data[].attributes.body
In order to encourage an innovative classroom, I have tried my best to create a collaborative classroom. Small and guided shared groups give students the opportunity for students to feel safe in their learning and know that their voice is heard.

In our classroom we encourage out of the box thinking and different ways they can use technology in an innovative way.

# data[].attributes.body
-Individual schedules that take students needs into consideration e.g. movement breaks incorporated into day
-Physical set up of the school to meet varying needs e.g. self-reg tracks and use of available school space for indiv. work areas
-student led clubs

In Kindergarten we try to incorporate STEM challenges to our programming.  We also use the Self-Reg track in our hall to get the kids moving.  W also use hands on activities at our centres to keep the students motivated and focused on the task at hand.

In our classroom we focus on the zones of regulation to help our students understand red and green light choices and how their actions effect their learning and their classmates learning. We give them strategies to get into the green zone.

-providing sensory activity choices during recesses, -incorporating spark bike use as part of the daily routine (riding before going to class at morning entry/transitions)
-using technology to explore problem solving games (hoodamath)
-encouraging students to stand while working, take short body breaks - self reg tracks/push ups in the classroom/jumping jacks

We offer many different STEM challenges/tasks in our classroom
Incorporate the use of technology within the classroom
Encourage the use of self regulation tracks

Use of our outdoor track. Technology-infused learning to bring in the global community. Use of technology like QR Codes to interest and engage our students. Learning from our student teachers from UOIT who bring a lot of technology knowledge to our classrooms. Making STEM a regular part of our teaching, not a special day. The resources we have are really supporting this forward thinking.

# data[].attributes.body
In order to help foster forward thinking ideas from students we can provide them with STEM activities, creative hands-on learning, technology within centres, flex seating, and personal/project-based learning.

Most students are surrounded by devices at home, and have become proficient in their use. It won't be long before students are showing their learning through app development.

-use of technology in the classroom
-involving students in the learning process -asking students what they want to learn -planning lessons based on their interests -checking in with them frequently "What are you learning?" "How do you know you're successful?"
-making tasks applicable to the real world
-flexible seating
-using manipulatives
-focus on oral communication and having meaningful conversations
-students collaborating with one another
-making learning fun

Introducing new tech tools, STEM activities and flexible seating are all innovative things to incorporate into classrooms. Allowing students to be innovative, creative, and stretch their thinking will increase their engagement and benefit their learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Listen and be open to what the students have to bring the table.   They often have innovative ideas that we can learn from or build on.

# data[].attributes.body
I continue to think of innovation as beyond technology and how students can  create learning or provide input to become innovators

-Flexible seating, self-reg. tracks throughout the school, coding in Grade 5, STEM, We-Video, robotics in science classes, integration of inclusive technology.

Multiple Self-Regulation tracks allow students to engage in natural or planmovement breaks throughout their day.

The use of technology in the classroom is growing, due to Google Classroom. Students are able to take a lead in their learning and often shows others, including the teacher - how to utilize a new tool or program. Technology is also helping students who struggle with producing work, through the use of tools like Text to Speech.

Teaching students to understand their needs (Zones of Regulation) and strategies that can help them when they are feeling anxious, silly, angry, sad, etc. By teaching students a variety of strategies and what works well for them - we are setting them up to be successful both inside and outside of the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
We try to promote problem solving and often provide students the opportunity to engage in STEAM challenges and hands on learning. We have explored coding and try to highlight new ways to use technology.

We incorporate technology into our students learning to help keep them engaged.
We provide opportunities for students to direct their energy in a positive ways (i.e. Self Regulation Track)

We have many leadership opportunities from our students! We are looking to have the intermediates create their own fitness circuits so that they are hopefully more motivated to participate in fitness tasks during class.  Our motivation for personal fitness is pretty weak here. Our thinking is if they are in charge, they will be more likely to get “excited” about fitness.

Students are usually whiling to give you feedback, regarding the use of technology and often they can take a lead in the class when tech is involved.
