When students own their learning, they learn to think outside the box. Sketchnote via @spencerideas

@MrsKatieMalone I think this may be my favorite new plan, but I don’t know if it’s financially possible in a county the size of Frederick.

@MrsKatieMalone How are they implementing this? Will phones be locked away in a central location or strongbox provided by schools? Are they placed in student lockers all day? If there is only an expectation of “out-of-sight,” what is the reinforcement from admin? So many new plans this year.

Middle schoolers struggle with Coriolis Effect. Balloon models help…especially when accompanied by a bribe of balloon volleyball after quality journal responses 😉 Super engagement during discussion, and who can beat these innocent squeals of laughter ☺️

I like starting a new module or topic with this updated KWL chart. I think it’s important in Science. I *love* this chart with its sentence starters!!! Great for early-year onboarding and/or all-year scaffolding. As always, thank you @Catlin_Tucker for sharing your knowledge!

Yes…so much more to onboarding than just teaching how to use a tool or find a resource! Think-alouds, modeling reading and sentence structure, conversation starters during group work, class calendars, backpack clean-outs. We have to teach students HOW to be successful!

This is worth the watch! By celebrating his students’ cultures, he has created an environment where these often marginalized learners are confident enough to take risks and lead others. The love and gratitude his students feel for him is palpable in their comments. Powerful stuff

Another pair of #fcpsvanguard s with a relevant #blendedlearning presentation. They shared numerous resources and facilitated some insightful group discussion! I walked out with lots of ideas to increase personalized feedback and improve agency for students!

Sharing the #fcpsvanguard mindset!!! @DrLipchock gave a fantastic presentation about #blendedlearning in a secondary science classroom. She covered student-pacing, personalization, and student agency…wow! And check out the data improvement in her students after self-pacing 🤯
