]]> 2020-02-19 21:16:13 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/447734412 Sibme seems to be just another checklist item. I do them but I don’t know that what I record matters. https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/447734535 2020-02-19 21:16:31 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/447734535 Sibme https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/447734601 many teachers (mentees) have mentioned to me that they put Sibme at the bottom of their list when they get overwhelmed]]> 2020-02-19 21:16:40 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/447734601 Sibme is SO uncomfortable to do. The students feel uncomfortable even if I am comfortable. It's a very vulnerable thing. I try to film often, but I still end up missing stuff. https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/447734693
The prompt is often restrictive.

I think that the time to watch other people is also something that is time consuming for new teachers.]]> 2020-02-19 21:16:52 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/447734693 compliance vs. authentic https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/447734835 People don't enjoy it and do it because they "have" to.]]> 2020-02-19 21:17:13 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/447734835 I've heard from multiple instructors who are very resistant to Sibme because: https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/447734898 - they say they don't see the value
- they feel uncomfortable recording themselves
- they aren't comfortable with the technology
- they would prefer group videoconfernce time to uploading individual videos]]> 2020-02-19 21:17:23 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/447734898 Sibme vulnerability tbrooks8 https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/447735490 - tough to ask new instructors to upload video when returning instructors have not yet

It is not meant to be evaluative, but should provide an opportunity for modelling, getting feedback, and reflecting on teaching strengths and weaknesses. It shouldn't be a big production or scary!]]> 2020-02-24 21:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449772341 Communities nicole_harvey3 https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449772348 The Geoscience teachers are a very close group. I think it is critical to develop relationships during summer PLI. The reason that the first two cohorts are so close is that we did summer PLI together after the first implementation year. We spent time with our mentors before we got starting teaching for the year.]]> 2020-02-24 21:04:04 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449772348 Communities bhenderson7 https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449773308 Each cohort seems to form tight bonds and stick with the individuals with whom they completed new instructor PLI. While many of the people from my original cohort have moved into different pursuits, I am closest with those who I have been able to interact when I help with New Instructor PLI or the Returning Instructor PLI]]> 2020-02-24 21:05:51 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449773308 Sibme nicole_harvey3 https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449773429 Sibme is a great tool to see into other classrooms. Not everyone feels safe in this space but teaching in a district with an open door policy creates a culture based in having a growth mindset.]]> 2020-02-24 21:06:02 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449773429 https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449776478 Sibme adds yet another thing to the VERY long list of expectations at my campus.  It is at the bottom of my list of things to do.

]]> 2020-02-24 21:12:41 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449776478 I want mentor communities to work as a two way street. There needs to be more communication than panic emails. https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449776599 2020-02-24 21:12:56 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449776599 Uploads to Sibme can be onerous with all a teacher has to do. Can Sibme become part of a PLI? https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449777021 2020-02-24 21:13:51 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449777021 I would like to see more authentic communities formed through the mentor/huddle roles. I think that perhaps having it be very specific region or having the teachers who have experience in one huddle would work. https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449777316 2020-02-24 21:14:31 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449777316 Checklist/Newsletter Addition https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449777360 I think a checklist or a newsletter addition to what our responsibilities are as a mentor. ]]> 2020-02-24 21:14:37 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449777360 Onramps instructors are sharing within their campus staff more so then their mentors. https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449779958 2020-02-24 21:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449779958 District/campus OnRamps communities. https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449779979
OnRamps Cohort communities]]> 2020-02-24 21:20:38 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449779979 There is a community of OnRamps Instructors on my campus across the 4 different subjects offered. Also, I connect with the other math OnRamps instructors in my district. And, I correspond via text with instructors that I have met at OnRamps PD for my specific course. https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780207 2020-02-24 21:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780207 I would like to get to know mentees more outside an email. https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780234 2020-02-24 21:21:25 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780234 I have observed a community of Statistics teachers that share resources and ideas with one another. People are very giving of their time and talents. https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780286 2020-02-24 21:21:34 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780286 Communities https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780304 It doesn't feel much like a community, mostly because it isn't used much (from what I can tell). People don't usually respond when you ask a question on their video


]]> 2020-02-24 21:21:37 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780304 I like the idea of Sibme, I think there is a lot of potential. But honestly, I think most of the instructors just do it because it's a requirement. I don't think it's really being utilized the way it could/should be. The bare minimum is being done just so the instructor can check a box. https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780311 2020-02-24 21:21:39 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780311 Sibme https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780388 I don't feel a sense of community with Sibme because so many teachers don't do it or they don't respond when a question is asked.

]]> 2020-02-24 21:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780388 Sibme could be a good resource to actually see the different ways instructors engage students and introduce material. It could lead to further conversations with instructors on both content and pedagogy. We definitely do not have this type of community in Sibme as of now. https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780505 2020-02-24 21:22:13 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780505 Communities in OnRamps https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780507 There are communities of teachers within schools and school districts. Communities are also built with the people you spend 2 weeks with at PLI (roomates, break out groups, etc.)]]> 2020-02-24 21:22:13 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780507 https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780651 Sibme is a snapshot of the reality of the classroom. It can be messy and loud, but for those with great best practices, we can see the results (student success)

]]> 2020-02-24 21:22:41 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780651 Sibme would help (if used properly) with examples of teaching and activites. https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780889 2020-02-24 21:23:28 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780889 I have always had great response within onramps communities. They are willing to share, help and just talk. The more that we can do with reaching out to each other grows that connection to help our students. This includes The purpose of Sibme. https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780910 2020-02-24 21:23:30 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780910 I think the idea of having a Sibme community is great. The idea of having a one stop shop for resources and idea sharing is great and I think we need to continue to work to improve. https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780941 2020-02-24 21:23:36 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780941 Sibme contributions to community https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780973 In my experience, Sibme hasn't really contributed to community. Most times, I am the only person commenting on videos within my huddles unless it is a task on the agenda during our monthly video conferences.]]> 2020-02-24 21:23:40 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449780973 Sibme does give instructors a chance to experience someone else's classroom. But, I do not feel a sense of community from that experience. https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449781067 2020-02-24 21:23:57 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_gerds1/mentors/wish/449781067
