A8 Have structures in place to determine talk time, noise level, independent work spaces, collaboration, and movement around the room. Have a system in place for asking for help, such as ask 3 before me. #nwresaPLCN

A8 Clear walking paths and have a consistent, designated area for everything. The floor needs to be clear of debris. Explicitly teach expectations for accessing and cleaning up materials. #nwresaPLCN

A8 What’s the purpose for everything that’s out and accessible to the students.” If it doesn’t have a specific purpose, you may want to rethink why you have it in the environment. Is the classroom clean, organized and labeled for student use? #nwresaPLCN

A7 Content and student preference also play roles in selecting everything from tasks to seating. #nwressPLCN

A7 The actual physical size of the room, clear traffic patterns, and a safe and orderly environment should impact the flexible learning environment. grade and age appropriate measures should be considered in determining environmental needs in the classroom as well. #nwresaPLCN

A7 504 and IEP needs impact the planning of a flexible learning environment. Sometimes a student’s prior experiences and mental health situations will determine the need for the student’s environment #nwresaPLCN

@donna_cotton You’re doing a great job Donna!

Ready or not, here comes question 7! #nwresaPLCN #PLinNC

A6 Share positive experiences on social media #nwresaPLCN

A5Flow chart guiding students in analyzing own data Conference while completing the flow chart. Model data analysis discussing a learners data. Create preferences charts designed around student interests to help learners choose tasks that fit them #nwresaPLCN

A3 Data collection and feedback should be ongoing and it should focus on the social and emotional well being of the learner. Find the deficits and determine the best interventions based on student preferences. Teachers and parents assist the learner in setting goals #nwresaPLCN

Q5 for tonight’s #nwresaPLCN Chat! Individualized Learning Paths: How do you or could you include students in the creation of their own learning paths? For more information visit: bit.ly/nwresaplcn #PLinNC

A2 encourage teachers to implement interest inventories to assist with student preferences. One on one student/teacher conferences model for students to see where they are in their own learning and set goals for themselves-discuss their own data empower them #nwresaPLCN

@donna_cotton @SNormanDLF I agree 100%. Sometimes we over think it.

@SNormanDLF caring builds relationships

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

Building relationships with students - How do you do it? What are your favs? #nwresaPLCN #PLinNC .

@braveneutrino A1 Building relationships through parent nights -Allowing students to practice student led conferences with the teacher is always a great way to get to know your students. Ask students what they would like to learn and how.Involving students in the planning process #nwresaPLCN
