Placing students at the center of the dialogue - awesome setup with @Equitymaps ! The teacher can play back the small group conversations after as well, allowing them “to be” at all tables at once, 🤩 Txs for sharing @Mr_Beltran_NMS
Students at @novi_ms using @EquityMaps for Graded Discussions evaluating the motives, methods, and outcomes of change in Antebellum America. Thanks to @NMSlibrary for letting us take over the MC! #NoviPride

What a day @KravisTeaching! Started the day at Coffee with Colleagues discussing @EquityMaps, then paired up to map discussions in each other's classes. Ended the day debriefing observations and identifying core values with this incredible group of faculty new to @loomischaffee!

@WestMS_Warriors seventh-graders led a Socratic Seminar to discuss why we know more about Egypt than the Kingdom of Kush. Using the @EquityMaps app, students charted the flow of conversation to see the importance of inclusive dialogue that includes each participant. #RCSpride

Sometimes the simplest exercise can help restore focus and calm in the classroom. Try this mindfulness countdown when you and your students need a reset. 🧘‍♂️

One overlooked aspect of implementing strategies is built-in time for #reflection. As #coaches & #teachers try out strategies and collect data, reflecting on the goal and making adjustments will lead to better practices & a positive impact. ow.ly/fPLl50PVNff

👇🏽🤩 Engagement 🤩👇
Powerful, meaningful discussion happening in room 215. Some of the realities they shared today broke my heart. We are on a journey to discover our identity and to find our voice. 🩷#cmsd @CLEMetroSchools @OrchardSTEM #7thgrade

Equity Maps is an application that provides teachers with data about which students participate in lessons. Educators can break down participation by group, participant, gender, and other categories, helping them increase equity across the classroom. eduporium.com/blog/rising-re…

First Socratic Seminar of the year in Human Geo. Discussing the positives and negatives of GPS apps like Life360 and Snapchat Maps. Excellent effort from these 9th grade students in their first attempt! Can’t wait to see the improvements in Unit 2! @EquityMaps

Perhaps we don’t focus enough on ‘knowing our students’ - this is a fascinating article. “The teacher’s deep appreciation of the text is foundational, but is insufficient without her understanding of the student and the student’s relationship with the subject matter.”
"The student needs to feel called out to speak to the text" Why if it isn't a brand new guest blog post to kick off the new term! Neil Phillipson (@Phillipson70): Teaching and learning on Buber’s narrow ridge oracycambridge.org/bubers-na…
