It is interesting the hear the students views on remote learning and how they are able to cope.

# data[].attributes.body
Really liked how they all shared a similar understanding about how far compassion goes in the mission. I do wonder what differences the student's  observed between the residency student experience before online school and now.

# data[].attributes.body
The thing that resonated with me the most is the emphasis on making connections. Not only will it help students feel more comfortable when reaching out for help, but it will also allow the teacher to better help the student when they are familiar with them.
I learned that students are making note of the gap in learning within their classrooms and are trying to take more control over it to enhance their education experience. It shows a lot of awareness and aligns with the goals/mission of NYU’s Residency program. 
What is the best way to build those connections with students? 

# data[].attributes.body
- Learning from the perspectives of the students really showed how important it is to have teachers that care and want to engage.
- I learned that children genuinely care about their relationships with their teachers

# data[].attributes.body
What resonated? The sincerity of the students and their willingness to open up.

What I learned: It is a good idea to ask the students about what they need from their teachers, rather than assume that I know what is best.

Questions: What are some things we can do to make students feel safe to make mistakes? How can we help young people learn more about their personal learning style?

# data[].attributes.body
They all seemed very passionate about their learning and their school. They expressed their opinions/concerns perfectly!

# data[].attributes.body
What resonated with me was the honesty and openness that the students have. The way that they are analyzing their own learning and recognizing the difficulties as well as the difficulties of the teachers is incredible.

# data[].attributes.body
What resonated with me the most was the openness of the scholars to share their thoughts. It was amazing to see how willing they were to engage in conversation and offer their advice to us future teacher residents. It just highlighted the need to create an open and welcoming environment. The question which I have is, what best practices can new teacher residents use in order to facilitate a. space where students feel so comfortable and included?

# data[].attributes.body
It was so impressive how the scholars expressed their views! It's so important to include the scholars in the discussion and its exciting to see how eager they were to join in and that they have advice to help us, themselves and their peers.

It's interesting that all of them mentioned their letter grades in response to how remote learning was going. I could really see how being in person encourages students to speak with their teachers and advisors and can support that in a way that video may not. How can we create that environment over online classes?

# data[].attributes.body
What resonated with you?

- The kids are highly affected by the switch to online learning as well as the educators themselves. The kids are highly aware of what they miss about in person education.

What did you learn?
-The social aspect of education is important

What questions are emerging for you?
-Moving forward, What can we take away from what worked with remote learning when we return to the class rooms? (Online interactive trivias as an example)

# data[].attributes.body
It was really refreshing to see the scholars advocating for themselves and see the application of social emotional learning. They were really tuned in to what worked for them and how to speak up if they had any weaknesses (i.e. asking for help). Seems like the school is a really healthy community!

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the students were very well spoken and clearly demonstrated a strong passion for the education. I also loved hearing their perspective because it highlights how aware the students are of how relationships impact their learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Wowowow such amazing perspectives. I am so impressed by these students' ability to analyze the own learning and take a critical lens on their own school. I love how thoughtful they were able to answer each question - really shows the deep learning they do.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm really glad we got to hear from middle school scholars, because I personally love middle school. I'm not sure I would say that things resonated for me as much as I was just happy to hear about people's experiences with the program and remote learning from different angles (resident, scholars). I'm curious about how remote learning is structured for middle and high school students. I've seen some things about it, but I have no kids/siblings/etc to talk to about it, so it was nice to hear from the students themselves the thoughts they had

# data[].attributes.body
I loved the idea of comradely between new residents and new scholars. And the scholars’ emphasis on building connection reiterates how important the aspect of relationship building is to teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
I loved the fact that the scholars were able to give back feedback on what they wanted more support with. I feel a lot of times feedback can be one-sided (teach to students) and it was nice to see how the teachers could improve and continue with what is working. I agree with the scholars that everyone is on a different page and to be patient because learning virtual is new and difficult. I think social-emotional learning is a very important aspect.

# data[].attributes.body
what resonated the most with me was the scholars' emphasis on making connections.

# data[].attributes.body
It was good to hear from the students themselves on their experience in learning from the educator in the program. I've taught in small classrooms where I had a chance to give students one-on-one time that they needed to learn, and I know how effective that little bit of extra attention can be.

# data[].attributes.body
They were very eloquent and seemed a little wise beyond years somehow.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The fact that they care about the school's culture as well as learning was interesting to me. This is definitely something I feel is important and I'm glad to see that the scholars think about that as well.
2. I learned that the scholars recognize the position of residents in the classroom. They know that, for most of us, we are new to teaching.
3. I'm curious what the scholars think the resident's role is in their school's culture.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked Ricardo's point that new teachers (or illuminators) are good for new students (or scholars). Because they're facing similar challenges of getting accustomed to a school culture and its procedures and a new group of people, they can relate well to each other. I wonder how experienced teachers can avoid falling into the assumption that everyone knows the school as well as the teacher does.
I also wanted to ask them this, but ran out of time:  Have any of you attended non-charter public schools? How would you compare your experiences in charter vs. non-charter schools? How would you compare in-person vs. virtual learning?

What resonated with you?
I was also very impressed with how well thought-out these young students' approached to online learning were. You can really see that they're wrestling with big ideas and trying to come up with answers.

What did you learn?
As someone who is teaching online now, the baton approach of handing off the conversation is perhaps a no-brainer for keeping the conversation flowing, but for me was a real a-ha moment.

What questions are emerging for you?
I'm curious about how teachers on the ground are actively supporting students' social needs alongside their academic ones. What ways are working? What ways need improvement?

Building Connections with Students in the Classroom

Building Connections with Students in the Classroom

# data[].attributes.body
The scholars/students all said how important it is to build the right teacher-student  relationship. In a classroom, what are some ways you can do this well? I am a one-on-one tutor, but I imagine that building relationship in a classroom setting will be different.

# data[].attributes.body
Holy crap those kids were awesome.

Hearing how articulate they were gave me hope for students around the country. I can't even imagine how hard remote learning has been all across the board, but it is nice to know that clearly some students are able to excel.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I resonated with them saying how online learning had a huge learning curve and it still has its challenges today.  Learners at every age group are having trouble in this time of virtual learning.
2.  I learned that it is key to form these connections with students because they can provide a lot of useful input to your teaching and how you navigate the classroom space.
3.  I want to know how we can build more of these kinds of projects just in terms of outside the residency. The students had so much to add to this conversation that I think it would be beneficial to have these kind of projects outside the residency.

# data[].attributes.body
what resonated with you?
what resonated with me most was the way scholars described their learning relationships with their teachers. I really appreciated how students emphasized their need to have teachers who collaborative, rather than commanding--I believe those are the best types of teachers.

What did you learn?
I learned more about the type of project you can cultivate with your students and the types of limits it can expand to.

What questions are emerging for you?
I would like to ask more questions regarding the best ways to show students we support them. What are tangible ways we as teachers can show through words and actions that we are here for their personal and academic success?

# data[].attributes.body
1. What resonated with you? I really was captivated with how invested the scholars were. They didn't give generic answers to the questions that you typically expect from middl school students. They really cared about the topic of discussion which is both inspiring and motivating.

2. What did you learn? I'm not sure if this something new that I've learned, but the scholars definitely reinforced how important it is to make connections and build relationships with our students. This is a new process for all of us and we can all really benefit from helping one another. I believe it was Mikila that said it builds trust between the student and teacher when the teacher asks students for help and vice versa. It is so quick to assume as the adult in the room we are supposed to handle things on our own, but we are the new ones in the room, so we should rely on our students to help us through the process just as they rely on us to help them.

3. What questions are emerging for you? How do we make ourselves more available to the students for questions and help? I don't ever want to cut a student off from help. This seemed to be a concern for the scholars.

# data[].attributes.body
I really felt for the scholars when they talked about how a struggle of remote learning is not having  immediate access to their teachers when they have questions/comments about what they're learning (ex- going to office hours but after the fact).
I wonder what new and creative methods teachers have had to take to build genuine connections and relationships with their students on a virtual format.

# data[].attributes.body
I am reminded again of how often younger students can be underestimated, especially as we have seen how well spoken and engaged those four students were. It paints an encouraging picture of students as active learners and sends a wonderful message to all of us as we begin this program. I am someone who values socially constructed knowledge and collaborative classrooms, and I'm happy to see scholars who seem to share these values. Beyond this, I think the most important thing the students shared is knowing that it is ok to struggle, and it's ok to not have the answers right away. We should all keep this in mind as we begin!

# data[].attributes.body
There were many moments that stood out, however, the point that stood out the most was how both the teacher and students are both learning throughout the process of digital education, as well as they both support each other to make it successful. I learned that the student voice is just as important as the teacher voice in the classroom because they can both learn and guide each other. It was refreshing to see the collaboration of the students and teacher working together toward success; rather than the teacher forcing it on the students.

# data[].attributes.body
What resonated with you?
How challenging it must have been for everyone  to adapt to online learning.

What did you learn?
Our coursework includes a lot of data to help prepare you and understand the methodology.

What questions are emerging for you?
How can I ensure students are meeting high expectations?
What can I do if they are not meeting expectations?
What do I want students to think of me as a teacher/leader?

# data[].attributes.body
The scholars impressed with with how eloquently they expressed their thoughts and feelings. One thing that I know that I will need to be mindful of is the social component of school, and how some students have been missing that factor in their education. It makes me wonder how comfortable students will be interacting with one another in the upcoming school year, whether it is online or in person. And along with that idea, how I can best facilitate their interactions.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  Everyone is new to remote learning, it's important to be mindful and patient
2.  I learned about how to advocate for students and that data analysis can help with that.
3. What are ways to help establish a connection with students, especially when remote?
