This was a great session to remind us not to sweat the little things. Love JoinPD.com also.

I liked the reminders to not get wrapped up in emotions when teaching and always keep the kids in mind. Great use of video clips to engage and relate to your audience!

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciate the various tech tools that I can implement in my classroom immediately!  The games were definitely engaging.  Having a variety of tools to choose from keeps class fresh.

# data[].attributes.body
Was unaware of the Quizlet Live feature - and it's FREE! Great way to review and get kids interacting with each other. Thanks for sharing with us!

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks to the presenters for a practical opportunity to bring some fun activities to my classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Very good conversations on the difference between the two. Nice takeaways.

# data[].attributes.body
It's always good to get updated on the new tech we could be using to enrich our classrooms! I have already created a study guide with one of the tools and plan on using it today!

# data[].attributes.body
Great tools to use in moments of frustration. Great reminders and great job presenters of real classroom examples.

# data[].attributes.body
Definitely has me thinking about ideas I can use.  I need to do some work over the summer creating some "mandatory retraining" plans!

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks to the presenters for sharing how they do this in different disciplines. Seeing specific examples was helpful and it was fun getting some hands on practice with clay!

# data[].attributes.body
Like hearing ideas of how other teacher created opportunities for assessment choice.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for some useful things to think about as I prepare to give students choices on an upcoming project.

# data[].attributes.body
So much fun and a great review option...i needed this thx!  Great presentation and well planned.  Also thanks for the extra help.  whoohoo

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the personal approach - hearing that everybody struggles to keep calm sometimes makes it easier.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea of talking to students the day after something happens is something to start doing! Way easier to talk to them in a constructive way after some time to reflect.

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciated the reminder to not take students actions and responses personally. I also liked the articles and time to discuss appropriate and positive ways to address different behaviors. Putting a positive approach on a situation is always a win-win.

# data[].attributes.body
Great job! Loved to introduction activities! I love having the ability to talk with my colleagues about behavior management strategies. Loved the informal but respectful environment! Felt comfortable to be honest and open.

# data[].attributes.body
Discussions with colleagues around this topic is super important! I found it very beneficial. Discipline as being an act of teaching, slow and ongoing. Punishment being more reactive, not teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
Excellent reminder to take take things personally! Taking a moment to take a deep breath or to handle a situation at a different time can be extremely helpful in supporting student emotional well being.

# data[].attributes.body
This was a great conversation and got me thinking about strategies/steps I can take in my classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Lauren- you did a great job facilitating the discussion. Lots of great thinking points and the discussion should continue.

Good example by Swis of teaching students skills, then allowing them to propose assessment options that fit within given criteria. Interested in finding out how to apply this to math.

# data[].attributes.body
Discussing how to shake off our old-school approaches to punishment was meaningful and worthwhile. Wrapping our heads around new-school approaches to discipline allowed us to work through reservations. Discipline, done right, is a slow and consistent pursuit that teaches.

# data[].attributes.body
It was valuable to hear from experienced teachers across varied subjects how they differentiated within their classrooms.

# data[].attributes.body
It was great to hear other teachers experience with differentiation. Loved hearing how these happen in other subjects outside of my own like art. Thanks for letting me make a clay pot Phil! I am coming to class to paint it soon... mothers day is fast approaching.

# data[].attributes.body
Re-teaching is key. Do not just punish without providing an opportunity to correct or amend the original behavior. Great job facilitating the discussion Lauren!

# data[].attributes.body
Great reminders. Engaging! Thanks for the hard work.

# data[].attributes.headline
Discipline vs. Punishment: Thank you for the thoughtful conversations. I hope we have more time/training on next steps and HOW to embark and persevere in the lengthy process of teaching productive and positive behavior. I'm also interested in more training for teachers on specific language and strategies to employ.

Thanks to Lauren for helping us have an important and timely conversation about punishment vs. discipline.

# data[].attributes.body
Great introductory conversation to punishment/discipline at Julian. Conversations should continue with whole staff with expectations modeled for all.

# data[].attributes.body
Great balance of new tools and time to figure out how to utilize them with our students. I really appreciated the balance between sharing new information and time to implement.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for facilitating conversations about discipline vs. punishment. I am thinking more about teaching discipline using natural consequences as opposed to being punitive.

# data[].attributes.body
Brooke,
Thanks for a discussion around student discussions!

# data[].attributes.body
Presentation was very well put together and highly informative! Thank you! :)

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks so much for introducing what appear to be 3 useful and relevant technologies and for giving us time to play around with them & test them out during the session.  I want to use PearDeck ASAP!

# data[].attributes.body
Lauren gave good background information and things to think about to make for more positive communication as it pertains to classroom management and student relationships.

Loved the new ideas I can use with my students!

# data[].attributes.body
Great! Very usable tools that I will be implementing!

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks so much for sharing this resource! I love that it is tech free and the fact that it is user friendly - another way to spice up formative assessment !

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you Colucci for sharing your story! This definitely has me thinking about how I can do a better job of ensuring every student has a voice

# data[].attributes.body
Great presentation and great job presenting using various types of methods; the video clips (loved it for those of us who need the visual learning) provided realistic examples and humor which connected well with the strategies being discussed. Key things I will keep in mind in my practice are the the 4 key concepts. Thank you.

Great Job presenting an interactive workshop of strategies for strong voice. The video clips provided realistic examples. The strategies demonstrated were effective and easy to implement.

# data[].attributes.body
Talk about an awesome way to differentiate. I cannot wait to create some new paths for my students!

# data[].attributes.body
Love love love this information. I'm really excited to start brainstorming how to use with my current class structure ASAP. Your presentation was organized, clear, and very informative. Thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
Insightful and lucid analysis. Thank you for sharing and triggering the thought process.

# data[].attributes.body
Nice job Colucci!  Loved the presentation and picked up some good techniques to use with my kids as well as good knowledge about Percy Julian!

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciated John sharing his personal experiences/practices and establishing the purpose and importance of Cold Calling and related procedures within the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for an extremely clear, organized, and useful presentation. I'd love more time and access to assistance to explore these tools -- especially connecting some of the tools we already use (Google, Nearpod, Quizlet, etc.) and integrating them with Canvas.

# data[].attributes.body
Love it. Excellent presentation. Very well orgainized and set up. Nice job Sharron.

# data[].attributes.body
I picked up a lot of ideas of how I can use this in the classroom. A useful session.

Thank You! ... LTI's and Canvas was a great introduction to utilizing the apps available to us. Very Interactive and I cannot thank you enough for the creation of the Canvas PD Module.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks to our presenters for sharing tips from the book, their own strategies, but also allowing the time to share strategies with each other.

# data[].attributes.body
Awesome presentation! Fun, engaging, and informative. Thank you. :)

# data[].attributes.body
Sharon, Well done! I can't wait to use this!

# data[].attributes.body
Great tool for quick, targeted formative assessment. I love that students can't look at their peers for the answer and truly have to share their own answer!

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for helpful tips on how to grade through canvas and set up external apps.

# data[].attributes.body
I look forward to using Canvas Mastery Paths as an exit or diagnostic tool in my class. Thanks for a user friendly presentation :)

# data[].attributes.body
Awesome discussion during this session! learned from others about their do nows and how they structure their room. Also, learned about challenges and roadblocks of some strategies.

# data[].attributes.body
What a useful tool to use in the classroom for immediate feedback and formative assessments. It's simple and straightforward enough to use on a regular basis, and I love how it uses technology but doesn't require the students to use their technology, which can end up becoming more complicated and time-consuming at times. Thanks, Sharon!

# data[].attributes.body
I loved how interactive your presentation was! The video clips, bingo game, and prizes made it very enjoyable and engaging. Great refresher of tips/ideas we may already know but often forget about. The video clips kept it relevant and interesting!

# data[].attributes.body
Wehman and Hart did a great job and I learned a lot!!! I again realize that we have staff doing great things in this building and should try new things inside my classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
As we talk about cold calling and getting more students to participate, this is a great technique to get every single kid to participate without the "sting" of getting a wrong answer. Thanks, Sharon! All 5 of my classes are now up and running.

I enjoyed the stations, and the hands on approach to the learning. I walked away with several new things that I will put into use! Thanks Jamie, Dylan and Steve.

# data[].attributes.body
Wow, A huge thank you to all presenters! Much more valuable hearing from you than a stranger! The amount of time you took to put these sessions together on top of your regular daily work is much appreciated!

# data[].attributes.body
Loved seeing the procedures from other teachers-- and am encouraged by the fact that I have procedures in place and already front load those lessons from the start of the year. I sometimes feel like I get started on curriculum too late and feel like I'm catching up with my colleagues, yet I feel that explicit instruction

# data[].attributes.body
She gave some quick, easy writing strategies to help improve kids writing. And some great reading material to learn more. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.

# data[].attributes.body
Looking forward to adding appositives in a writing as a routine!

# data[].attributes.body
Loved hearing that classroom procedures are actually helpful. I sometimes get bogged down with having to spend so much time on them towards the beginning of the year but it seems to be worth it! Awesome presentation with plenty of time to talk to others and brainstorm.

# data[].attributes.body
Important lesson on positive framing and relationship building. Great discussions all around.

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciated learning quick strategies for deliberate, effective groupings to emphasize conversation, process and student accountability. Thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
Solid presentation.   Thanks

# data[].attributes.body
Lauren's session was awesome in p art because it was born of her trying to solve an authentic problem she has observed in her classroom.  It didn't feel like she was just doing this because someone told her to do it.  It was inspired.  She gave concrete strategies & tactics I plan to try using in my world language classroom.  Un grand merci!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
This was a really valuable presentation.  I really liked the techniques and will use them professionally and personally. Great job to the both of you!

# data[].attributes.body
Love seeing all of the different teacher's ideas coming forward in this session and having time to discuss and share.
Big Take Away: some teachers spend time re-directing or trying to defend their routines while a teacher down the hall has different procedures/routines. Imagine the impact if our teams had similar routines/procedures/class strategies - imagine the impact this could have on some of our electives who have these same students...

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciated having choice within the session. I enjoyed that it was self-paced, so that I could focus on concepts that were applicable to my content, classroom, and students' needs.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for taking the time to help the session information apply to me individually.

# data[].attributes.body
Help! These Kids Can't Write, an interesting 7:30 a.m. presentation by Laura Brown, was extraordinarily helpful. Thank you for your time and putting together relevant teachings that will make an impact on our students' writing!

# data[].attributes.body
I loved Kate's approach to group students in her classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
This shoutout is for Laura, who taught Help! These Kids Can't Write!, this morning. :)

Laura, the information you presented on appositives and writing was beneficial--even for a language arts teacher. Oftentimes I get bogged down and overwhelmed with how to go about teach good writing, but your session assured me that it's okay for good writing to start small (and not feel pressured to teach a lot at once); it also reminded me that I need to push myself to be more explicit in writing instruction.

# data[].attributes.body
I loved the enthusiasm and resources that your provided!

# data[].attributes.body
Adrienne and Kate gave us meaningful practice within different grouping strategies for a firsthand look at what students have to do to be successful. Independent work went quicker, but had more mistakes. Partner work slowed the process, but allowed us to correct errors in real time. They pushed us to think of new ways that we can integrate these grouping strategies into our classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned of procedures that some of our staff members are using. I plan to assign classroom jobs to students for daily routines. I plan to post the job assignments in a centrally located place in the classroom so students can be reminded of their role.

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciate the time to reflect on my own reactions to students' behavior and to work on cutting out the sarcasm and implementing more positive framing!

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the paper airplane activity to show the importance of giving clear directions. I also really liked how you surveyed teachers in our building to share the amazing procedures teachers at Julian already have in place.

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciated the opportunity to learn from the examples being implemented by my colleagues, and through the conversations with other teachers attending the session.
