One question I have. p0067812 https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129006537 2016-10-07 02:01:11 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129006537 p0067812 https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129206752 How can we make learning accessible for all our students (even those with challenging at home situations and lack of access or limited access to technology at home)?]]> 2016-10-07 17:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129206752 1. Not only do our students need support with a growth mindset, but so do we as teachers...and thats ok.  Change can be exciting. 2. Math talk is exciting. 3. EQAO results determine our students need assistance with communicating and representing math. p0067812 https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129207460 2016-10-07 17:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129207460 1. EQAO data showing us our ELL population vs. students born in Canada show a discrepancy.  Who are true ELL learners? 2. Are we setting high expectations for ALL our learners. p0067812 https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129208266 2016-10-07 17:53:06 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129208266 https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129209403 How can we make math more interesting and help students feel more engaged.]]> 2016-10-07 17:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129209403 Is there a good web-site or resource for math games and centres? https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129211078 Is there a good web-site or resource for math games and centres?

]]> 2016-10-07 18:01:42 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129211078 1. As a team, we need to work on co-constructing the success criteria. 2. Open-ended tasks may be overwhelming students and teachers alike, there when choosing a task, we need to make sure of providing multiple entry points. 3. We all shared amazing student work/evidence which reflects our growth mindset. https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129211436 Veena]]> 2016-10-07 18:02:51 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129211436 https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129212440 1. I liked the discussion on student based interviews. If I am going to be doing them, it was productive getting some ideas.
2. I found Neena's math intro using a number for discussion interesting. It was cool that it could lead into some climate areas with getting to know each other. ]]> 2016-10-07 18:04:22 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129212440 1.

That student led interviews could be effective in the spec ed classroom.
2. That opened ended questions if simple enough could work in a spec ed classroom. Gives the added advantage of teaching co-operation.
3. That I need to upgrade my tech skills in this changing society. mac]]> 2016-10-07 18:08:40 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129213969 https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129214637 1. Amazing things are happening in our school with regards to math programing
2. Student-led conferences focus on process not letter grade/are a celebration of strengths
3. Some great math ideas to take back to my class

2. Posters on Uddin's walls great ideas for encouraging mindset :)
Christine H. ]]> 2016-10-07 18:14:22 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129215781 Is there one set letter admin wants to go home about student-led conferences that has been approved or should teachers send their letters in for approval? https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129216561
Christine H. ]]> 2016-10-07 18:17:09 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129216561 1. EQAO - Math results showed that our students' attitudes towards math are reflected in the test results https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129217596
2. Student led conferencing - supports accountability on students and a student focused discussion on what they need for student success.

3. Connecting numbers to personally relevant stories and sharing our stories was fun, and a great way to get students connecting to numbers

S.Amer]]> 2016-10-07 18:20:30 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129217596 1) Open ended questions give students a chance to explore different routes to the answer https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129218917 2) Student led conferences give the students the power
3)That 1-3 students here are on an IEP]]> 2016-10-07 18:24:26 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129218917 1. There is a shift toward more TH and AP questions on EQAO math assessments to reflect the shift toward an inquiry model of teaching and learning. p0084781 https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129219569 2. There are student, teacher and parent benefits of having multiple student-led conferences happening at once.
3. Thanks to Veena for the sneak peek at the Student Learning Notebook. I'm signed up for a workshop on the app next week.]]> 2016-10-07 18:26:27 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129219569 1) The personal number exercise. https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129219666 2) The variety of ways groups came up to solve the same problem.]]> 2016-10-07 18:26:44 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129219666 EQAO Math data reflect https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129219894 2016-10-07 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129219894 How are we suppose to find time to incorporate everything the board wants us to do https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129220427 2016-10-07 18:28:47 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129220427 Two things I found Interesting p0084781 https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129221435 1. Collectively, our students "passed" most of the Data Management and Probability questions.
2. Most of our students were at overall achievement level 2, which I look at as being within striking distance of reaching level 3 with precise, personalized programming. ]]> 2016-10-07 18:32:02 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129221435 1. I got some more insight ino student led conference with parent. https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129224680 2.. We need to find ways to improve our student EQAO results.
3. Veena Math talk was interesting. I will try it in my class]]> 2016-10-07 18:43:00 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129224680 EQAO data should drive our math programming - more of thinking and application questions. https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129224958 Also, train the students to understand word problems and break it down to what is given in the question and what is it that needs to be solved.
Thanks to Afroza's presentation. I can visualize a stress free parent teacher night:)
Veena's presentation brings home a point that math can be fun! Thanks Veena.]]> 2016-10-07 18:44:08 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129224958 One question I have: p0084781 https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129225014 How can I use google classroom, padlet and other effective web 2.0 software equitably when most of my students don't have their own devices.]]> 2016-10-07 18:44:21 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129225014 Three main things I learned from the presentation are the advantages of student-led parent interview, which include: https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129225033 creating a more inclusive learning environment; it provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate ownership of their own learning; and that it underscores the need for a collaborative learning environment.

The thing I like most about the presentations was the demonstration of the close link between my professional needs and student needs.

Student-led interview seems to be a great idea, but I would like to know how I could conduct a student-led interview involving two or more different families without violating the privacy of each of the students involved.

-Andrew]]> 2016-10-07 18:48:10 UTC https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129225879 1) Success Criteria needs to be made after task is shared https://padlet.com/p0067812/connectlearning/wish/129226147 2) Student Led Conferences can be done with multiple families in the room
3) Personally Relevant Numbers can invite student learning
