@KateCarrollCB @DaileySuzanne Treasures of life!! 💞

When you get to teach #cbsdpd with the great @DaileySuzanne AND you feel motivated and affirmed from supportive feedback... then you find these #wordsofaffirmation from your daughter ❤️ All the feels! #kutzcougarpride

@CBebarbera @OConnorReads @DaileySuzanne @sheehyrw Agree that coping skills are as important to develop as academic ones. Research points to use of mindfulness across all industries, ages, as important for combatting anxiety and stress...going to increase incorporating mindfulness practices with Ss. #cbsdpd

@OConnorReads @DaileySuzanne @sheehyrw What a great idea! Coping w/ stress is such an important skill for Ss to learn. Coping strategies will support Ss socially, emotionally & academically throughout adulthood. Even practicing yoga & mindfulness during the day as brain breaks can make a huge difference for Ss #cbsdpd

We complete our summer-long #CBSD Twitter Slow Chat with this final question from @sheehyrw’s #BeTheOne. I love the collegial relationships & professional ideas we’ve shared with one another over the past 7 weeks. Thank you for trying this innovative approach to PD! #cbsdpd

@Kutz3rdGrade @DaileySuzanne @sheehyrw @SeesawEdu @Seesaw Stepping up my @Seesaw game with you as my Seesaw genius innovator guru Michelle! #cbsdpd

@DaileySuzanne @sheehyrw I want to #BeTheOne who "Engages Parents" through the use of @SeesawEdu. Ss light up when their parents write a response to a @Seesaw post in the middle of the day. Even if parents use this as a dinner convo starter (being in the know)...praise & positivity go a long way! #cbsdpd

@DaileySuzanne @sheehyrw I want to #BeTheOne for my students who makes education relevant and who prepares kids for the future by asking myself if each and every learning task I assign is truly meaningful for developing skills required for 21st century learning and achievement #cbsdpd

@DaileySuzanne @mres Reflecting on Resnick's "short-term pessimism" - there are many indications for being a short term optimist. "Structural barriers" are collapsing constantly with tech acceleration in the hands of disruptive, innovative educators -eg BYOD- more expectation than exception #cbsdpd

A twist for our second to last CB Slow Chat prompt. In the spirit of @mres’s value on student choice & autonomy, respond to ONE of these prompts to process some challenging & worthwhile ideas from Lifelong Kindergarten (and yes, of course it’s OK to respond to both!) #cbsdpd

@DaileySuzanne @mres I choose to believe that every one of my students is an "X". It's my task to nurture, support, develop, inspire, ignite the creative spirit residing in each of them and provide an environment of security for Ss to take "risks" to be, do, and think creatively every day.#cbsdpd

@KutzKallelis @CBjtownsend @DaileySuzanne @mres Amy, You are so right. They loved it! It gave a chance for all students to be "X" students. Creating the opportunity is so key and fundamental. Kudos to the "X" teachers as well! #cbsdpd

@CBjtownsend @DaileySuzanne @mres I totally agree that the Innovation Lab is a space that give kids the opportunity to develop so many important skills while they are "playing" with all kinds of cool stuff. I also think that our "Innovation Day" was a "dream come true" for our X students. :) #cbsdpd

@DaileySuzanne Mindset: Leveraging tech creatively, efficiently, collaboratively for myself and students always a goal! Employing tech to "welcome the experts" is something I want to engage more in this year. World of experts and experiences waiting to be tapped into... #cbsdpd

Our slow chat continues with our next question! I’m so excited to see what you’re thinking of bringing to your classroom families in 19-20! #cbsdpd

@CB_JFlanagan @DaileySuzanne I don't think you can ever go wrong by sharing student products with community senior centers and rehab centers. Seemingly simple gestures can have positive impacts on the in-firmed and elderly and not just at "holiday time"... students gain ... #cbsdpd

@DaileySuzanne Walker has inspired me to pursue a class dream, I am looking forward to getting creative with my 4th grade class and working together to serve others in the community. Do any other 4th grade teachers have good ideas that tie into our curriculum?! #cbsdpd

@KutzKallelis @DaileySuzanne @timdwalk Amy you are inspiring me to try both "genius hour" and "passion project" activities this year! Autonomous learning #cbsdpd

@DaileySuzanne @timdwalk I LOVE the idea of this approach vs. the "teach modeling-Ss following" approach. By giving the Ss more "voice and choice" in directing their learning, it makes it a more personalized (and powerful) learning experience. I'd love to try doing "passion projects" this year. #cbsdpd

It’s Sunday! That means another question for our summer-long #CBSD slow chat! This is from Teach Like Finland by @timdwalk #cbsdpd

@DaileySuzanne @timdwalk Not sure we can get away from the accepted practice of scaffolding-reverse may produce anxiety in some Ss and be time prohibitive; but would try the strategy in a math lesson e.g."S" applies area of rectangle concept to find area of an L-shaped polygon then "we, I"

@CBSuzShannon @Kutz3rdGrade @DaileySuzanne Thank you for sharing this resource! Great quotes are an effective and relatively quick way to inspire and motivate. #cbsdpd

@Kutz3rdGrade @DaileySuzanne It’s a great idea to explicitly discuss character traits during class meetings. Thanks for this! My students enjoyed using the book 365 Days of Wonder to reflect on strengths, goals, and connections this year. #cbsdpd

Here we go- our first ever #CBSD Twitter Slow Chat!! So excited to try this model of PD together with question #1! #cbsdpd

@DaileySuzanne Ideally I'd love all my students to want to be in my room - My approach: I GET THE PRIVILEGE of teaching each child in my room. Hope my students feel that and it transfers to a joy for learning each day. #cbsdpd

Happy Sunday, #CBSD Twitter Slow Chatters! We continue our summer-long conversation with Q2! #cbsdpd

@CBjtownsend @DaileySuzanne Jen, I witness your students' LOVE for you and their Love for learning every day. Your attention to differentiated instruction for EACH student across subjects is remarkable! You reach every student every day! They are so fortunate to be with you :-) #cbsdpd

@DaileySuzanne My hope is that Ss feel like they GET to be in my classroom. I want them to go home feeling like they've had a good day or a great day. It may not always be a super fun day, but a good day; good enough to want to come back and do it all over again :)! #cbsdpd

@Kutz3rdGrade @DaileySuzanne Great chart Michelle for a new purpose! We have a class meeting daily, but will try incorporating this into our routine. #cbsdpd

@DaileySuzanne Empowerment...through class meetings! Ss are able to get to know each other better as they build stronger relationships with their peers. My kids especially ❤️ Positive Thought Tuesday where they choose a character trait/example to describe their classmates! Heartwarming! #cbsdpd

@DaileySuzanne #cbsdpd Great synthesis by authors with key essentials! My personal goal is to focus on the environment ingredient and change it up the this school year by incorporating some aspects of flexible seating into my classroom.

#cbsdpd Being a merchant of hope, happiness, and achievement

#cbsdpd My why is my HOW- How can I better serve my students to be, feel, and do their best

#cbsdpd Love my team! So blessed - we LISTEN to each other- always feel supported

@Kutz2ndGrade @DaileySuzanne witness this with you and your students each and every day!! :-)

@DaileySuzanne A3: Striving to be our best-selves for our Ss each day! Always bringing positive energy to the classroom and believing in our students! #cbsdpd

Feeling so energized with our conversation! Can we really achieve Life-fit? Oh, yes we can! Q3! #cbsdpd
