Learning Circle Session #1: When and how during this session did you reflect on your experiences and advocate for yourself to grow and improve? As educators, why does this skill matter? by Hannah Converse https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924 POG Attribute: Goal-directed and resilient; POG Skill: I reflect on my experiences and advocate for myself to grow and improve. en-us 2019-09-12 19:41:45 UTC 2020-03-03 16:03:17 UTC hello@padlet.com Name - Cohort sazavala https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/394610524 This is where your reflection would go. ]]> 2019-10-07 17:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/394610524 Shane Zavala - Blended Learning sazavala https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/394611280 Constructing this session provided an opportunity to reflect on the basics of what blended learning is and to provide structures to helps teachers look at their own classrooms. There were parts during the constructions I feel I had to take a step back and realize I was not practice what I was preaching or I was encouraging running before learning how to walk. 

This skills matter because as teachers we need to keep in mind our lesson structures and content through the eyes of a new learner. We sometimes take fro granted our expertise and own experiences when creating learning opportunities. ]]> 2019-10-07 17:34:26 UTC https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/394611280 Alison Goitia - Blended Learning https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397469503 Browsing through resources and examples helped me recognize that I am not a novice (I've tried a few before); however I can grow in learning how to make new meaningful learning experiences for my students using the tools I am familiar with as well as new ideas. I know I can improve on adding more student-centered learning in areas where the students can have more control and choice in their learning. As an educator, it helps me to avoid remaining stagnant in the ways I am used to.]]> 2019-10-14 15:17:37 UTC https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397469503 I reflected by discussing with my colleagues our experiences with interdisciplinary instruction and setting a personal move goal for IDI. This is important because it helps students build connections between content and skills and view it in a real-world manner. jatodhunter https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397469850 2019-10-14 15:17:42 UTC https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397469850 Mark Grant- Blended Learning https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397470000 When going back through the tic-tac-toe challenge I found myself reexamining techonological resources which I had seen before but never used or given real though to using.

Revisiting these experiences with new colleagues made me excited to try it again.

I will continue to advocate for my growth by interacting with the resources provided and finding my own. This skill matters because learning is a continual process and something that should be modeled for our students. ]]> 2019-10-14 15:18:04 UTC https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397470116 Bob Hamell - Blended Learning https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397470164 I was able to reflect on what ways I am currently using blended learning, when given time to check out all the different digital resources. It gave me a chance to see what's different and how it can improve what I am already doing. It also gave me new ideas for future units. ]]> 2019-10-14 15:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397470164 Pamela Martin pemartin11 https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397470357 When given the opporunity to reflect on the Definition, Characteristices, Examples and Non Examples, I relfected on my expereinces.  The Teacher Move Goal made it easy to advocate for myself and establish ways to grow.  This skill matters because we are making connections with our students and making learning relevent.

In learning more about what blended learning actually is, I realized that a lot of things that I think are examples of "blended learning" in my classroom are actually just incorporating technology/choice/etc. but not actually blended learning. 

This matters because I will be able to elevate areas of my teaching to the blended learning level which will benefit me as a teacher and my students. ]]> 2019-10-14 15:18:28 UTC https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397470366 We were given time to explore different resources and ask questions when needed. https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397470428 2019-10-14 15:18:34 UTC https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397470428 Taren Suraci https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397470483 I reflected on my experiences by seeing that we have all done some interdisciplinary work in small ways in the past, but realizing that this is a space to really define what interdisciplinary instruction is and learn how to be very intentional with our planning.]]> 2019-10-14 15:18:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397470483 Jinnie Kim (Blended Learning) https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397470562 This first session has caused me to think of my students (and their learning and thinking) who enter my classroom everyday... how I can enhance my teaching (incorporating various digital/physical tools). ]]> 2019-10-14 15:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397470562 Louis Nichas https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397470738 I thought specifically about an upcoming lesson and thought about how I could engage students more using blended learning.

I was able to reflect on what makes a good hook, including ways to jazz up traditional warmups. I was able to think actively about how to use the LEARN model for a mini lesson on harder concepts like federalism, I was able to think about how to use PADLET leveling and sentence starters/guided questions to help students be better reflectors, and how to map my POG skill to specifically align to what standards I am teaching. Engagement matters because even with good classroom management many students may become passive learners which allows little or no learning which makes it difficult--buyin is so important as is the ability to put forth rigorous assignments that both challenge students and give them the ability to collaborate.]]> 2019-10-14 15:23:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397472802 Bryan Case - Student-Centered Learning https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397472817 Giving ourselves permission to do things differently than we've done with the voice of students.]]> 2019-10-14 15:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397472817 SC Learning https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397473064 Having the opportunity to discuss knowledge and personal thinking has helped me to re-e

I learned to create openings that would capture the interest of students. I know that I need to come up with a more productive way to catch and debrief students so that they can have more work time. The mini lesson needs to be done in a way where students can learn quickly so that they can improve. These skills matter so that we, as educators, can keep all students engaged in the class.]]> 2019-10-14 15:31:26 UTC https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397476913 The session was helpful for me. I was able to reflect on teachers and classes in the past that caught my attention and kept me engaged. It made me reflect on how and why I became engaged and active in classes, and it made me think of ways of applying those characteristics to my classroom. It matters because student involvement and participation is critical, and I want to continue to approve the environment and production of my classroom. lhroark https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397477050 2019-10-14 15:31:45 UTC https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397477050 I reflected on my own opening, work-time and reflection part of my lessons.

In previous years I have wanted to grow in the "work time" area and developed skills to do so. Now I am shifting my focus to restructuring my opening to "hook" in my students, connect the daily content to their lives (within 5-7 minutes), foster class community & jump start their engagement! ]]> 2019-10-14 15:33:04 UTC https://padlet.com/hpconverse/l8mdzam8j924/wish/397477759 Danielle Meyer- I reflected on all components of engagement and put myself in the shoes of my students.

I reflected on times when I was totally engaged in a past class and shared with our session members. I advocated by asking specific questions to my session break-out leaders even asking for private tutoring! Why does this skill matter? It matters to help us understand what we are learning - giving it personal meaning.
