Coach Callicutt's Class

Good night everyone. These of been a lot of fun and I hope everyone has learned from them that will not only change you, but also change the lives of your students as well. #readwhitefolks

@KarenDuncan45 @coacholdfield I definitely want to implement Cogens just to keep me in check when needed. #readwhitefolks

@CallicuttJoshua @coacholdfield I agree, that will be hard for me as well #readwhitefolks

@DestinyBryan9 @KelseyT12173142 @SfBullard #readwhitefolks

If you are going to implement one thing from this book next year in your classroom... what are would you do? #readwhitefolks

@MrThreedogg #codeswitching #readwhitefolks

@KellyFr25732703 You would not believe the number of times I was told the same thing, and yet the actions of others were completely contradictive to being told not to teach the test. #readwhitefolks

@SfBullard @KelseyT12173142 Agreed. I think it will help us all When it comes to growing as an educator. #readwhitefolks

@KelseyT12173142 I agree! The COGENS are my top priority for next year! How and when are you planning on selecting your first group of Ss? #readwhitefolks

@scantrellmath Generally I pick the Music that is played in my classroom. When dealing with sixth graders, most of the time you can’t rely on their sense of judgment when it comes to what is appropriate and what isn’t, regardless of their background. #readwhitefolks

Question 5(?): Do you allow your Ss to pick music during down time in your class for the class to listen to? What are some positives and negatives about this? #readwhitefolks

@SfBullard When I was in high school, our demographics were 1/3 w, 1/3 b, and 1/3 His. No one really had a majority or minority as far as race was concerned. The only way to overcome that situation was to learn as much about the other groups as possible and get along #readwhitefolks

Q4: Have you ever been the minority in the classroom? How did you over come that? #readwhitefolks

@SfBullard I agree with @scantrellmath, the more they have to focus on one particular project The better. I also feel of the time they use with social media needs to be extremely structured and well monitored by the teacher. #readwhitefolks

Q3: Great question! "How do you keep students on task?" While using social media? #readwhitefolks

@SfBullard Using social media is something that I am very leery of. I feel that over exposing kids to social media could be more of a distraction than a tool. If I use any kind of social media, it is more for making announcements for classes. #readwhitefolks

Q2: What is your feelings about the use of social media in the classroom? #readwhitefolks

@scantrellmath I will often throw in an accent to show a bit of culture for wherever in the world we are discussing (i.e. United Kingdom, I use a british accent) #readwhitefolks

Question: Have you ever implemented different dialects or something considered outlandish in your classroom similar to Code Switching? If so, explain what and how did the students respond?🤠🧐🥳 #readwhitefolks

Good night all see you Tuesday evening. I’ll be on a little late since practice ends at 8pm #readwhitefolks

@coacholdfield @scantrellmath #readwhitefolks

Q5: What is one of the main concepts you have read about so far you feel you can implement in your class in the coming year? What struggles might you face along with implementing this concept? #readwhitefolks

@Jennife34707388 Ah, an old school Carolina Panthers Steve Smith jersey and an old school Carolina Panthers Starter jacket. They love when I wear those especially during a “spirit week.” #readwhitefolks

This is my fav--What attire do you have that connects you to your Ss? #readwhitefolks

@coacholdfield @scantrellmath 30 kids is enough #readwhitefolks

@scantrellmath Having a cogen may be the easiest strategy to implement in the class. Allowing students to rotate in and out of a “student council “with in the classroom allows for more insight into how the students can be better taught.#readwhitefolks

@Jennife34707388 @KelseyT12173142 #readwhitefolks

@KelseyT12173142 YES! #readwhitefolks

A4: They LOVE when they see me at band concerts and sporting events #readwhitefolks

@Jennife34707388 1 thing I constantly ask students is “are you OK?” Most of the time I am met with common answers of “yeah I’m fine.” But every so often I get anger in their faces, tears running down there eyes, etc. this is when I try to step out in the hall and have a 1on1 #readwhitefolks

Q4: What have you done to connect with your Ss? How are you a presence? #readwhitefolks
