Feedback is wanting more than mindset https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124358225  - hasn't felt like our "thing" this year and more of an every now and then thing]]> 2021-01-25 21:59:42 UTC https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124358225 DL https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124361615 Pluses: teachers feel more equipped to teach in DL format, especially starting Q3, happy to get back homeroom students, more excited about Modern Classroom (esp those taking the course)
More teachers getting comfortable with Modern Classroom, but concerned about work completion. Next year, allow re-takes, on demand instructional videos, differentiation
Tech literacy has increased, leading to more time to focus on content
RSP integration: a lot more communication and collaboration between Gen Ed & RSP
Shift to homeroom vs. advisory has also helped RSP teachers keep up with their students]]> 2021-01-25 22:01:11 UTC https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124361615 CSP: focus on curricular choices and building relationships and safe spaces via distance learning https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124363340 2021-01-25 22:01:56 UTC https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124363340 PL https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124363698 Modern Classroom: how to take it to the next level and how to bring it to in person
Virtual groupwork collaboration
Implications for building shared understanding of CSP]]> 2021-01-25 22:02:06 UTC https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124363698 CSP https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124364872 Range of staff understanding of CSP (2 ppl) Commonality is on focusing on text and task. For example: 6th GLT bringing multi cultural myth into curriculum and choosing to eliminate Percy Jackson next year. Also, creating a cumulative project]]> 2021-01-25 22:02:36 UTC https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124364872 PL/MC https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124365268 ask teachers in MC class to share their learning whole group in PL]]> 2021-01-25 22:02:47 UTC https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124365268 PL https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124367639 Teachers really need planning time
Not as much interest in balcony work like Department ToA
Release days are super useful
GLT: alignment between house feels a lot more difficult than alignment in nest, more need for specific student interventions. GLT is challenging
Department and planning partner collaboration has been helpful]]> 2021-01-25 22:03:51 UTC https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124367639 start of school was hard --> lots of grudging acceptance of Modern Classroom principals after uncessesful attempts to translate teaching style to zoom - questions about what is possible and what's right https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124370073 2021-01-25 22:04:56 UTC https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124370073 Shift to DL https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124373681 Steep learning curve. All but one are in a groove and they're in a flow now. Resigned to this as teaching this year. Nobody drowning right now (compared to BOY). Lots of questions on rigor still. To make it accessible it's not necessarily rigorous. Happy with RSP push in, wanting language support.]]> 2021-01-25 22:06:30 UTC https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124373681 Q's about rigor and balancing supports with overscaffolding https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124375480 2021-01-25 22:07:17 UTC https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124375480 collaboration and coach/admin support (ie: best practice share-outs have been helpful in GLT and dept spaces) https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124378249 2021-01-25 22:08:36 UTC https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124378249 work/life balance is a struggle https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124380791 2021-01-25 22:09:52 UTC https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124380791 DL/PL: academic talk has fallen off a cliff - challenging to make it work on zoom https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124381572 2021-01-25 22:10:13 UTC https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124381572 DL: everything takes longer - more planning time is asked for https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124384261 2021-01-25 22:11:28 UTC https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124384261 DL https://padlet.com/vietlygonzalez/av2sfh264qx696d8/wish/1124385362 - Raz kids a big help
