How can we advocate for a switch from 90 min classes?  Kids are CONSISTENTLY telling us it doesn't work.

explicitly teach the process of being a student.

Correlation between being in class that's engaging so students are learning, and then have earned outcomes they want. Otherwise, the hallway becomes more interesting. Maybe the hallway needs to be no fun at all. ;)

Can we have a teacher spotlight for the start of every staff meeting to break down what sense of belonging, relevancy, and community look like in real time?

Keep the kids collaborating and off their phones

How do we communicate with students and survey them about their preferences for their learning? Showing students the connection of curriculum units and their lives mean we need to highlight the pathways.

I want to work on classroom belonging all year long and make it a part of the class expectation from Day 1.

A robust phone policy, not to be punitive, but because we are failing young people by allowing it to get this bad. It’s a mental health crisis and we aren’t talking about it enough.

I feel like I spend so much time trying to connect the lessons I teach to my students, but if they are still feeling disconnected then I would love to find a way to learn what I am missing

Students said they wanted more flex, shorter class periods because 90 minutes is too long for HS classes, and socialization opportunities.

It's OLD thinking that "groups are dumb." Let's show how group work is COMMUNITY CARE WORK.

Students love to learn from teachers they love!

How are we going get our most disengaged kids into class? In years past we had smaller alternative schools that were designed to reach more of that population. They seem to be getting lost here. Many are failing every class.

Students feel both connected to one another and engaged during group work.

Explicitly teach and use discussion routines in both academic and non-academic contexts

Ironically, there is a lot of disconnection that is exacerbated by phones in the class. Wish we had a little more control over cell phone use in class. Not sure the sign "Electronics off and away" is quite enough.

I want to focus more on self-paced, inquiry based activities. I feel like direct instruction is my least effective form of teaching, and least likely to engage students.

More ways for students to engage with content through group and hands-on work.

I'm going to look at the role of belonging, now that I'm at the end of the year, and how I can offer multiple opportunities for engagement for students.

Start classes on time!

I commit to start classes on time to respect the students who are there and also show everyone the value of attending a full class. Students are watching!

Is there a plan or mechanism to increase flex time or length of lunch?

SOOO glad we're talking about data that comes directly from students' lived experiences. Thank you for polling them and for taking time to let us talk about what we learned and what we can do better!

What a fun activity to engage our brains in seeing patterns! Can be used in with ANY content!

how can we help students understand the connection of attending and actually learning?  saw multiple comments about absences followed by surprise at grade outcomes.
