RHS Kick off notes by Ryan O'Donnell

Cliches vs platitiudes

rodonnell5 — 2017-08-11 15:44:33 UTC

Plat is similar.. its cliche with a moral tint

"Platitude or Core Belief"
"All kids can learn"?

"What do YOU do when they don't"

beliefs are essense of oursevels, other people, the world and the future

"I feel inauthentic if I don't work with kids on a daily basis"

Learning is a process not a product.

Students need a voice, choice and agency in / over their learning

lcranston — 2017-08-11 16:01:25 UTC

Don't get stuck in the what is.

rodonnell5 — 2017-08-11 16:01:26 UTC

"What If" is needed to change "What Is

rodonnell5 — 2017-08-11 16:14:27 UTC

lcranston — 2017-08-11 16:14:34 UTC

We as teachers amplify the voices of our students.

lcranston — 2017-08-11 16:19:30 UTC
