Looking for a elementary and middle school in NC to visit where coding is being taught. I want to begin helping teachers in my county to begin implementing coding. I would like to ask questions and learn from your experience.

The changing out of the PJs seems to be the great divider.😅 Where do you stand? Team real clothes?👕👖 - or - Team pajamas?😴🛌 khan.co/KA-school-clos…

@jesespo @SpheroEdu I would like to see this.

@SNormanDLF We have a middle school teacher that is using @SpheroEdu to teach her enrichment group. Would you like to see that?

A8: As the year progresses, learning becomes more intrinsic for students. Re-assessing their learner profile helps them discover the skills that are moving them toward becoming expert learners. #nwresaPLCN #PLinNC

A7: Create a calm and relaxed environment where learners feel free to express their thoughts without being “penalized” for wrong answers. #nwresaPLCN #PLinNC

A6: Help the learner use their strengths, encourage the learning process rather than correct/incorrect answers. #nwresaPLCN #PLinNC

A5: Allow learner voice and choice in how they present their learning. Art, chart, essay, multimedia, podcast. Allow the learner to capitalize on their strengths. #nwresaPLCN #PLinNC

A4: Put learners in leadership roles of presenting their learning without the teacher laying the foundation for the lesson. Teacher completes the foundation after learners present the WHY. #nwresaPLCN #PLinNC

A3: Why must teachers be the one to introduce the lesson? Why can’t learners be tasked with researching the topic and introducing what they learned. Then the teacher can fill in the gaps. #nwresaPLCN #PLinNC

A2: I think when learners understand the WHY, it becomes more relevant to them. #nwresaPLCN #PLinNC

A1: I think a blend of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. Initially it may be more extrinsic but as students are successful, they will move more toward the intrinsic motivation. #nwresaPLCN #PLinNC

I would have to observe the class and then make suggestions for improvement. Determine if procedures need to change or be adapted. #NWRESAPLCN #PLinNC

A7: varied seating, comfortable, non-traditional, friendly, facilitates learning #NWRESAPLCN #PLinNC

A6: This is what's best for your students. Your teaching will be positively transformed. It's worth it. #NWRESAPLCN #PLinNC

Have an informal meeting to discuss their profile and what it means for their learning. Help them understand this will help them grow into becoming an expert learner. Help dissolve any negative thoughts and/or ideas about their learning path. #NWRESAPLCN #PLinNC

A4: I think it helps students see areas where they need more help and arms them with the knowledge to ask appropriate questions. Teachers should also put students at ease about asking questions. #NWRESAPLCN #PLinNC

A2: Build that relationship so that when you are working with the student in their weak area, they understand you care about them and are helping them turn that weakness into a strength. Help them work through their frustrations. #NWRESAPLCN #PLinNC

A1: Ask questions, learn their likes/dislikes, talents, wishes, needs, aspirations. #NWRESAPLCN #PLinNC

A7: I may not have 10 things yet, but here are a few. 1. PL does not look like a traditional classroom. 2. The teacher doesn't always have to be in front of the classroom. 3. There might be more noise because students are working together.#nwresaPLCN
