It would be interesting if instead of redirecting them we say something like " remember we are working..." so they know what they are expected to be doing.]]> 2020-06-03 00:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607911514 https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607915429 I loved your heart for your students!  You have learned so much about ADHD through this inquiry!  So interesting how you created 'time' outside for them!  Thanks for going deeper with that idea for us!]]> 2020-06-03 00:40:50 UTC https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607915429 https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607915647 What touched me is how passionate you are about helping these students. It's apparent in your panel, as well as just hearing you talk about it. I can't believe how responsive you are to the questions that were asked, you are very knowledgeable about the topic.

It is abundantly clear that you empathize with  your students who do struggle with ADHD and I love the focus on external motivation.

I love ❤️ how you talked about having a growth mindset and how important it is to believe we have the ability to change our own destiny. So important to be able to feel like we ca. Change our lot in life.

I love that you are trying to prepare them for difficult things... This is what we are not providing this generation. We have made everything so easy for the them and it shows.

Great ideas ]]> 2020-06-03 01:06:30 UTC https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607938948 https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607939003 You are passionate about trying to help the next generation. I appreciate that you look at the big picture and can then look at concrete ways to help work on their growth mindset. I love that you have discussions with your students about adversity and growth - I'm sure that impacted some of your students more than you might know. Great golf swing analogy - I might have to use that one!]]> 2020-06-03 01:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607939003 https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607940862  Your passion for supporting these students to prepare them for real life is admirable. 
It is so true, these students were almost born with a phone in their hand and social media. They sometimes "live" in the online world. It is so great that you are connecting them back to the world around them and pushing them to be their best self.]]> 2020-06-03 01:08:50 UTC https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607940862 wendyamy https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607948151 Your class-developed definition is marvelous –We all could use reminding that the possibility of failure is not a deal-breaker! I like that you are aware of this yourself and willing to try to push yourself more into the discomfort space of learning.]]> 2020-06-03 01:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607948151 https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607951562 It touched me how proud you are of JJ and the progress he has made. The compassion you have for your vulnerable learners is admirable! I can relate with the struggle to embrace the messiness and not check boxes. This is likely something that will impact other aspects of your life too, not just teaching!

I think it took such courage to take on such a big topic!  I think it was also powerful for you to stop and really reflect on what needed to be tweeked moving forward.  At home, they can see stories are all around them!  Then you know they are starting to see themselves as writers!]]> 2020-06-03 01:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607952589 https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607955486 I really like you've adapted to using manipulatives to create dialogue. It is awesome how you transitioned to create a space where JJ wanted to proactively share what he created. It is awesome how you and Jenny were able to put him in a position where he could achieve some success. I'm sure it was really empowering for JJ to have that opportunity.

I loved your book I love the wordel. I m such a visual learner and I appreciate the book so much. I love how you want to teach writing ✍️. I love how your teaching is so focused and explored. I love the time you took. I love going back farther. Amazing and so obvious how much you love teaching and being a team mate ]]> 2020-06-03 01:28:01 UTC https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607957049 wendyamy https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607962199 I appreciate your candid recognition that it is scary sometimes to not know, but it is “okay” and opens the way to greater learning. Your metaphor of HOW you went from muddy to clear takes it that one step deeper.]]> 2020-06-03 01:34:07 UTC https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607962199 https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607967125 Gorgeous format!  Love the rethinking about letter grades!  Sorting through complex problems is something that we only do in the moment,  having a chance to develop this skill ahead of time and in increments is so powerful! You must have developed trust with your students for them to try using different methods in their problem solving!]]> 2020-06-03 01:40:03 UTC https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607967125 https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607969900 I love your focus on learning how to learn. There's a ton of overlap with what I was discussing with approaching the development of skills. Learning how to expand our limitations is one of the most essential skills that you can teach your students. Your emphasis on meta-cognition is an excellent way to position students to tackle problem solving.]]> 2020-06-03 01:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607969900 https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607970147 I love that you are so honest in your struggle and journey with the question.
Its great that you are looking at their learning as if they are steps built on each other and that the material between the steps is the important part.
It is clear that your have a passion not only for teaching but having each student working to their full potential. 
I love the outside the box thinking and probing them to engage in deeper thinking.]]> 2020-06-03 01:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607970147 https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607971720
Congratulations 🥳 this was amazing. I was so interested in reading and watching your learning. Love me the example of your students work. I was so impressed at how well I understood what this looked like for you. Thank you for spending time making your learning so clear. ]]> 2020-06-03 01:45:32 UTC https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607971720 wendyamy https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607975126 I love how you are pushing the students to think and recognize the process as the key path to the solution. So much more than just finding the "right" answer but being aware of how they got there.]]> 2020-06-03 01:49:28 UTC https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607975126 https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607984279 I love that you talk about the power or student choice and voice! 
I really liked how you talked about how the power struggle students feel with us even when we are trying to be supportive.
Your passion for teaching is so incredible. You took the time to ensure that your students felt successful by "pre-loading" the books so they would walk away feeling positive..]]> 2020-06-03 01:59:37 UTC https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607984279 https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607984559
I love you and how incredible you are at making everything make sense. I wish you were my Reading teacher. Visually this is so great 😀 I love the book 📚 choice. ]]> 2020-06-03 01:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607984559 https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607984630 You are so knowledgeable about literacy and it's clear that you are very passionate about improving reading.Your students (and their teachers) are lucky to have you! I am learning how powerful accessing meta cognition can be for learning. Thank you for explaining coherence making - I finally get what it means! Aha!]]> 2020-06-03 01:59:59 UTC https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607984630 https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607986161 I really love your "trust in the mess" approach to inquiry. I found it really difficult to just enjoy the journey without focusing on the destination. I could benefit more from trusting in the mess myself. Ending with a funny book would definitely make me compliant as well. I love how you've established the language that you use with your students in order for them to understand the "why".]]> 2020-06-03 02:01:53 UTC https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607986161 wendyamy https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607996372 How empowering to recognize that all learners can progress when given a voice and their own choices. Perhaps more work at the outset, but ever so much more authentic and engaging. I also like the perspective that this is a matter of trusting: you trusting them to make choices that work, and their trusting you to respect their thoughts.]]> 2020-06-03 02:13:12 UTC https://padlet.com/uppal_j/vd6plg2kbl3jkoce/wish/607996372
