I'm Alexandra, Philosophy teacher. This year I'm only working with other teachers. Because of that  i think it's of most importance to keep up and experiment new tools and to put mysefl to the test. Never stop!
It's a double walk for me - to do an online course and to put formative assessment into my daily pratice.

Q1 - My classes are built according to decisions that we take together. With some classes we start by writing the summary  - two or three students contribute to that task each time. With other classes, more organized and self regulated, we don't write summary, I start with questions, verifing that everyone, during the week, answer at least one time.
There is always an effort to recall every subject to real life, to themes of everyday life, so my lessons are made mostly of dialogues - not every students are confortable talking...

Q 2 - So... and if we talk about subjects they like? online games, movies, songs, football... no theme is off limits, as long as everyone is envolved.
Then we work with the Philosophers' voices (text) and do exercises (writen). Schemes, conceptual maps, quick questions... these are some activities we do.

Q 3 -  I think I lack more diversity in the ativities. Sometimes I use mentimeter as a way for them to place questions without being judge by the other students. There is always someone who puts a silly question that makes us all laugh but most questions are important. But it's not so easy to use the mobile phone in the classroom...

It's time to change teacher`s role:
- pupils are at the center of the learning process,
- pupils take responsibility for their learning,
- care for the individual progress of each pupil,
- pupils know where they are (what their current knowledge is),
- where they are going (they know the purpose of learning),
- how they will get there (what they have to do to be successed)
- the teacher supports and guides pupils in the learning process and gives quality feedback.

S - Know all my students name - point of honour. See them as person, listen to them, to their desires, their hopes. Keep in mind that they're teenagers - there is a LOT of things they dont know BUT they have their own life experience and sometimes, I don't even begin to wonder what they have been through.
W - I talk to much. Sometimes I just wish they do what I'm asking - some students are to afraid to take a risk (grades are to important) and I dont know how to challenge them. An this year, working with teachers, I feel the same...
This is indeed a very challenging balance to achieve!

My classroom is usually for freethinkers but... how can i lead ALL my students to do that?

Most of my students are very afraid to make mistakes in general: they only want to do what is right tor their grade (without much trouble!)
I want to be able to put all my students to work on their own pace and to be self regulated learners.
