How have your Wipro fellows demonstrated leadership? (1-2 stories) by Cynthia Dwyer https://padlet.com/cynthia_dwyer2/7abshfdzexfhn5t2 Wipro: Session 1 (Feb. 18, 2021) en-us 2021-02-15 20:12:32 UTC 2021-03-10 23:32:12 UTC hello@padlet.com Teachers worked with educators in Vietnam, implementing the same lessons and activities. This allowed collaboration and connection beyond the wall of our classrooms. WIPRO affiliations were used in this activity. Additionally, WIPRO fellows have been asked to write and present at conferences. https://padlet.com/cynthia_dwyer2/7abshfdzexfhn5t2/wish/1217504014 2021-02-19 00:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_dwyer2/7abshfdzexfhn5t2/wish/1217504014 One of our Wipro teams has done a tremendous job working together and have started some great programs such as beekeeping in schools and enhanced place-based field trip options...and even turning it all into digital experiences during covid. https://padlet.com/cynthia_dwyer2/7abshfdzexfhn5t2/wish/1217504317 -Mike (Missouri)]]> 2021-02-19 00:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_dwyer2/7abshfdzexfhn5t2/wish/1217504317 One of our elementary Fellows is currently planning a virtual science night for students and parents to participate in at home. In her planning she enlisted the help of several peers to assist. The supplies for the science night have been sent home and various staff members will be helping with the demonstrations and giving step by step instructions to parents and students remotely. in addition, one of our fellows gave peers and parents assistance in navigating the technology throughout our closure. https://padlet.com/cynthia_dwyer2/7abshfdzexfhn5t2/wish/1217504856 2021-02-19 00:43:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_dwyer2/7abshfdzexfhn5t2/wish/1217504856 led building and district professional development sessions https://padlet.com/cynthia_dwyer2/7abshfdzexfhn5t2/wish/1217505107 2021-02-19 00:43:57 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_dwyer2/7abshfdzexfhn5t2/wish/1217505107 One of the C3 Fellows has created a video for every science TEK-6 focusing on Total physical response vocabulary in Spanish and English https://padlet.com/cynthia_dwyer2/7abshfdzexfhn5t2/wish/1217505251 2021-02-19 00:43:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_dwyer2/7abshfdzexfhn5t2/wish/1217505251 Several Wipro Fellows have been shown leadership in remote teaching.
