From "What if?" to "What's next?" by John Clements https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9 Choose two "what if?" statements (yours or someone else's) and explain what next steps we should take to explore them further. Be sure that the idea you choose aligns with the school's vision. en-us 2018-10-09 16:35:45 UTC 2018-10-16 00:06:13 UTC hello@padlet.com Time https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290955615 What if we had a multi-day conference.  
And we used one day with another school into our school and we visit another school on the second day.

They should be asked to create an overview of their club, so that students can experience their club in a session. This would be for students who may be interested in a club or activity that do not have the time to commit, or students who wish to learn more about a club or activity in a relaxed setting]]> 2018-10-09 18:54:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290955815 What if we could visit a college class for the day? https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290956480 Contact local colleges to arrange for students to attend a class of their interest.]]> 2018-10-09 18:56:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290956480 What if students go into the community? https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290956506 What can students do to help their community and make an impact? Find and contact a cause, determine your role for that cause, involve others in the community ]]> 2018-10-09 18:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290956506 crash course https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290956565 What if we offered sessions to explore elective classes or college majors? Students could try out classes for next year or discover if they have an interest in a certain major in college.                                                                                       
Need a list of elective courses. Have current students create lessons and activities for other students who are interested (with teacher's help)
Invite Nipmuc Alumni or professors from local colleges/universities to host day long or half day sessions outlining different majors]]> 2018-10-09 18:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290956565 What if students planned a community service project by grade. https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290956858 What’s next: 
Use advisory for groups to brainstorm, brainstorm/organize ideas during class meetings. Identify a problem and come up with an active solution that is executed during the conference day. ]]> 2018-10-09 18:56:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290956858 What if we had a session for teachers that is student led? Students demonstrate to teachers what students go through in a typical day. Also students could help teachers breach the "language barrier". bmoloney https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290957627 What if we could get food trucks? It would be a way for people to come to the conference. 

What if we made a connection with a local college and visit? Maybe we could have our students "shadow" a student for the day. ]]> 2018-10-09 18:58:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290957627 What if... https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290957796 Not only if we went off site, but also explored non-traditional post secondary opportunities.]]> 2018-10-09 18:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290957796 What if students planned and taught/presented to younger kids? https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290958131 Other schools in MURSD should be contacted by Nipmuc’s administration. Nipmuc students can brainstorm topics such as kindness, caring, and respect to be presented to younger students in the district. Other topics include balancing school work and social media, team work, leadership, community, and bullying]]> 2018-10-09 18:59:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290958131 What if students planned their own sessions based on a passion/students could shadow based on a career interest. https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290958198 Students could plan out their schedule for the day. They could get it approved by someone to make sure their plan is solid. Could be an option that students could career shadow with a community partner. This could only be an option for students to do, not a mandatory thing. ]]> 2018-10-09 18:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290958198 https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290959521 What if...
These days were more carefully scheduled to not be at the close of a term, perhaps the start of the terms. Semester break might be ideal as semester courses are changing at this point.]]> 2018-10-09 19:01:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290959521 Parent Involvement https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290959931 What if parents could attend the conference (not just help run it)?
Ask students to develop sessions to teach parents/adults in community (seniors)  - like computer skills
Sessions could also be run about college/financial aid etc - run by parents for parents Also being an empty nester!]]> 2018-10-09 19:02:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/290959931 What if we extended these days to multi-day events? dquinn44 https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/291457577 Deep work takes time. What if we had an "intersession" between 1st & 2nd semester where students worked on collaborative project with faculty and then showcased the end products with a celebration of learning?]]> 2018-10-10 19:44:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jclements36/h1vblmeiwkv9/wish/291457577
