27:38
Yes, I also appreciate your perspective, Whitney.

27:40
What a great example for your students.

27:48
In an effort to help our 2019-2020 graduates leave high school, having faced nearly a semester at home, the MCPS "lowered the bar" significantly for graduation. This lowering of the bar continues and it's a difficult grading policy to reconcile with teaching students what they need to know.

YES! Thank you Phil! Teaching music this year was difficult and I felt like I was so behind with my students.

29:18
Exactly right, Phil Wilson! We didn't reflect about what was working with cleaning etc

29:29
I agree @whitney - Engaging in silence is so powerful!

29:29
So true. The rules seemed to change monthly as reports were shared. Reflection would have minimized the frustration felt by many of us at that time.

29:30
I'm glad to hear that I wasn't the only one thinking that way..why are the rules changing and how do we know this is really over?

29:33
YES!

29:37
We need to look for the good in everything.

29:40
So true

29:50
Agreed

29:51
So true Phil!

29:57
100%

29:59
Agree! I think we need to STOP waiting for things to "get back to normal." We need a NEW MIND SET. We need to see where we are and discuss how to move forward for the betterment of students, parents, and ourselves.

30:06
so true! absolutely agree

30:15
Advocate continually...so true!

30:23
What is normal these days?

30:31
I never thought about it this way, but YES! The new normal -- what does this mean to us as a profession?

30:36
My biggest take away from last year is that I really got to connect with my band kids again. No matter what they sounded like, that was so wonderful!

30:44
Hello Monique Coles in Raleigh NC seeking certification in School Counseling. Currently a Middle School Counselor 6th Grade 🏫

30:45
Yes, we must advocate more for the things that we, as educators, need. We. don’t do it as much as we should.

31:01
Rue, we cannot see. you

31:02
I lived in Aguadilla for 6 years

31:11
Rue, we cannot see you

31:28
Teaching flexibilty and resiliency and also preparing for unknowns can be modeled and is a great life skill for our students.

31:32
Rue, your camera is not on.

31:33
Yes, we need to have a “waiting time’ instead of being impulsive about responding to what is being going on in the world.

31:33
Reflection and respectful discourse should be normalized in the classroom for students to take as part of their toolkit for their futures

31:49
I agree, Hina

31:54
A agree

32:05
Good Morning! Angela, NBCT, Second Grade, Los Angeles

32:15
Last year, one of the most important activities I needed to do for my students is validate their struggle to learn and get back to the routine of working in a classroom after being off for a year.

32:26
Yes, Phil. The whole mask or no mask thing. I wore the mask because of immune suppressive therapy but was quadruple vaccinated. My heart was full when one of my very challenged students eloquently told our RTI group that she chooses to wear the mask for her family because so and so and so and so have asthma and she does too and she can tolerate it so chooses the mask.

32:32
Sorry—joining late. Dr. Amy Brown, NBCT, Virginia Education Association

32:34
Niki Dixon. 6-8. North Carolina

32:45
@Hina good point

33:21
For SEL, I have incorporated the "Mood Meter" into my daily classwork. The Yale Mood Meter is a great way for students to take a moment to reflect on their feelings. I've made it an anonymous submission, then I build word clouds to show students the general mood of the class.

33:34
Yes, Rue, I teach K-5 students in art and there was a lot of listening and responding to kids age 5 - 11. with their concerns and thoughts.

33:53
Love that Anthony!

33:54
Yes, it’s important to accept that others have their own perspective(s).

33:59
No one is behind! Not kids or adults. That's thinking in the past. We are where we are and we continue to move forward. Reflection takes us to a new level, different level of understanding of our culture, lifestyles and guidance for our future.

34:02
Yes, Kathleen. So much listening.

34:02
Calming corners were also helpful with the SEL

34:28
what are specific NCBT steps, actions and recommendations for our teachers to deal with and thrive under the circumstances just mentioned?

34:51
yes more SEL

35:09
When students are directly affected, sometimes our pause includes just listening, really listening to the students, what they are saying as well as what they are not saying.

35:11
@anthony thank you for sharing about Mood Meter App!

35:19
I chose to slow down and focus on my students as persons.

35:21
Our district has a vague prohibition on using current political issues for source material or lesson components...

35:33
I totally agree with you, Diane! NO ONE is behind! We are not in a race.

35:39
Education is in crisis

35:41
Fragmented interests- hard to find the true north.

35:42
Challenged.

35:43
Common Core Standards do not meet the needs of the students.

35:47
It was a stressful year.

35:50
Education does not seem important in our country. It really never has.

35:51
Breathe

35:53
Students are different then they were pre COVID

35:54
There is a big academic gap that needs to be filled

35:55
It made me prioritize my students' emotional filter.

35:58
We are not meeting the needs of students or teachers.

35:58
Students have many more distractions than in the past

35:59
This time is an opportunity to reflect and revise.

35:59
It's been a hard year and I think everyone is overwhelmed and we have to get back to our why... which is always the students

36:00
Because things are happening so quickly, we need to be humble about what we know & next steps

36:01
I had to do more social emotional teaching then ever before. Education is different now

36:02
We are currently adding many things to teachers' plates...when are we going to take something off that plate?

36:02
Teacher shortage as never before in our district. SO sad.

36:03
Testing takes up too much academic time.

36:04
Joyful and hopeful! So impressed with our students’ resiliency given all things faced.

36:05
Disconnect between lawmakers and workers

36:05
Trying to frame the crisis points as opportunities for change.

36:05
Coming from Arizona - I feel that the political climate makes it difficult.

36:06
Personal development of students and teachers are so needed

36:07
I'm preparing myself to facilitate the fear that my students are coming with this year.

36:08
Students have to be the priority, but there's so much noise from all directions.

36:08
Building relationships continues to be so important.

36:08
So much has changed in recent years that we're creating essentially a new normal. Trying to understand that

36:09
Scary ..uncertain

36:10
I believe we are at a place where things are rapidly changing and it could be a great thing but there are a LOT of social issues in the community that go unmet.

36:11
I'm concerned about the lack of teacher retention, teacher attrition, and high turn over, teacher shortage, and how it will affect my students

36:12
Public Education is at risk!

36:12
It was a crazy year, but we made it through!

36:12
Worried about my colleagues in the south and states denying history.

36:13
Agreed. We need to set individual goals for our students to continue their growth and development.

36:13
To surround our practice with trust

36:13
Meet the students where they are

36:14
Everyone and no one are behind. We are all in this together.

36:14
Florida is a NOT state. Do not speak about student sexuality. Do not discuss racial issues. etc.

36:14
Agree on the social emotional teaching!

36:14
Public education would do well to consider teaching students about our Constitution and how important the individual is in maintaining our democracy

36:14
Teaching right now, more than ever, includes teaching students how to cope.

36:15
There are so many new challenges in the last few years

36:16
Family support/support at home matters, and for some families it has fallen by the wayside

36:16
Students don’t know how to interact.

36:16
Transform the way we educate, now!

36:17
I'm tired, but still going

36:17
Karen Pardue from Columbia, South Carolina. We must address students SEL needs.

36:17
I think about the quality of education I provide for my students.

36:17
Teaching is very challenging now.

36:17
Yup. I do a LOT of listening. I try to not show what I think too soon about what is happening around us, because the opinions are strong.

36:17
seems the focus is always on scores instead of actual learning

36:18
I feel that covid has allowed students to demonstrate a higher rate of disrespectful behaviors.

36:18
Learned to be okay with not having all of the answers.

36:18
Need to concentrate on students

36:18
I'm concerned for the kids

36:18
the education system needs to focus on the entire system. so much to reimagine

36:18
Reimagining

36:18
We must continue to strive to meet the needs of our students, just as we always do despite what comes our way.

36:20
When the BOE listens to only the loudest parents, we (students and teachers) all suffer.

36:20
Challenging times in deed especially on turnover issues.

36:20
Survival

36:20
I feel that the administrators do not trust our expertise.

36:21
I think we are resilient and will move forward as always. There are so many things we have learned and will continue to learn.

36:21
We are having to meet the students with where they are at more than ever and take into account what their needs are more than ever.

36:21
1st grade was tough this year! Covid social issues

36:21
We really need to keep our experienced teachers and really train new teachers where they don't want to leave after the first year.

36:21
Most difficult year ever. Lost so many great teachers.

36:22
too much expectation with too little resources

36:22
More responsibilities added to our plates by admin, but none taken away.

36:22
Battle field!

36:22
This had been a very difficult year. Definitely needed to address more of how my students are feeling...listening

36:22
Trying to bridge an already incredible gap

36:23
self care

36:23
remembering to be even more apathetic

36:24
I think more than ever more are realizing the importance of education in all areas

36:24
Many of our teachers left the profession last year.

36:24
Students remain generous and kind, in spite of all the challenges.

36:24
Getting students more engaged in the curent topics

36:24
I have experienced a great deal of change and challenges

36:25
There are so many minefields, especially teaching in Texas, so it makes it a challenge to engage in issues in class discussion.

36:25
I was a clinical social worker for 20+ years prior to becoming a teacher. In my 3 years of teaching (entering my 4th), it feels a lot more like social work than I expected.

36:25
We need to be patient with each other

36:25
Ultimate lesson in growth and adaptability - I don't think any of us envisioned this when we thought about becoming teachers

36:26
Academic gap and students emotional needs

36:26
Teachers are spread too thin and overly pressured to do more than humanly possible in the name of it 'being for the students' - we will see more leave the profession.

36:27
SEL is such a crucial element to the field of Education!

36:27
Good time to restart

36:27
I have to remember that the lived experiences of my students are different than myself. Sometimes I just need to listen.

36:28
I've never seen my kids more stressed out and needy. I need to completely shift my way of handling my ways of working with them.

36:29
As a school counselor I am extremely happy teachers and staff are focusing more on SEL as well!!! 🍎

36:31
Everyday is a new day... pace is set when what your day looks like. Things can change no matter how hard you plan for that day.

36:33
Doing more to protect my team and prioritizing our wellness.

36:33
This past year was the hardest year in my 22 years and I am hopeful for next year. I have been able to reflect this summer not necessarily during the school year because it was brutal some days but this summer has been time to pause and be refreshed.

36:34
It's a constant fight to do the right thing in spite of the administration

36:34
Teachers are leaving the classroom in mass, what can NBCT address this with the US Department of Education?

36:35
Powering through so many challenges

36:35
We need to take time to slow down

36:37
Taking it a day at a time and allowing the learning to grow in the new world.

36:38
Definitely survival.

36:38
sub shortage has canceled many important PD opportunities.

36:38
My district states we are not allowed to share our views in our school pages or with our students. Students can share their side, but we must be neutral in our views to avoid offending any student.

36:39
I can only teach at one speed.

36:44
We need a revamp- if not now then when?

36:47
We need more support from administration. I feel a lot have forgotten what it is like in the classroom.

36:48
Changing rules

36:48
I teach ECSE (blended) in VA. Most of this year I taught SEL as half of my students lives have been within the COVID years. These kiddos do not know how to interact with their peers. This year was a challenge in helping them to learn how to do so.

36:51
Crisis mode. Standards are inadequate. Support, financial, legislative, and community, is lacking. The students, however, need us more now than ever.

36:51
Continue to teach children that being "educated" about the events happening around us is important.

36:51
I think in our county, the Stake Holders are not looking at the needs of all students and how this is affecting teachers.

36:53
Education needs more care and support!

36:58
we need to keep good teachers and give new teacher an incentive to stay

36:58
Education in the United States is currently looking for a place of consistency, and social responsibility. Including a focus on human capital.

36:58
I agree teacher shortage,students struggle from meeting standards

37:00
Retired advocate here...trying to get good folks elected who understand the struggles of teachers and families...bridge builders.

37:03
We lost many students… that’s unfortunate.

37:03
Sometimes it seems like business as usual, when students are still struggling as a result of the COVID experience.

37:04
So many sad stories...so many opportunities to make lasting connections with our students.

37:08
student behavior…need to double down on EF skills

37:18
It seems that there is a lack of trust in teachers and our commitment to due what is best for students. We are professionals and are not always treated as such.

37:18
North Carolina is a state that does not take teacher opinions into account on a lot.

37:19
My selfcare practice has increased due to having to give more of myself in the classroom.

37:37
Standards keep getting more difficult for students. They are not mentally developed for some of the standards expected of them. They do not get enough breaks throughout the day. We should not have to teach a test! Also, students need more accountability.

37:40
Students need relational support for their mental health and well-being.

37:41
Best practices to help my students succeed.

37:49
@Christin Flynn very true!

37:57
I learned to slow down, take in the moment, so that I could provide the best opportunities for my students

38:08
Civics needs to be revisited: rights with responsibilities as a theme

38:20
Stressful- Many resistant to changes needed to meet sense of urgency around SEL for adults and students to create a better culture and climate as we recover and move towards a new and better normal.

38:27
I have chosen to reflect on what my students need most at this time and keep the focus on them at all times.

38:28
teaching the why behind the lesson and real world connections

38:33
I think we are under a microscope but finally have support monetarily and parents are more engaged because they had to be during Covid.

38:38
Covid helped to make academics bigger. Teachers had too much on our plate the last two years and it always felt overwhelming.

39:04
Good morning, Dr. Judith Grey- Miami, Florida

39:18
Portfolios are good for the problem that you are talking about.

39:32
Yes, the past year was very overwhelming.

39:36
I learned that I am very emotional invested in my students even when I try to be partial. I teach children with learning differences and emotional difficulties

39:44
Yes, listening. Students need to be heard!

39:46
Be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath

39:48
@Keitha, I agree

39:50
Agree with Phil Wilson that listening is priority

39:54
i love your perspective Mr. Wilson.

39:56
I haven't heard a house phone ring in a long time, that was a fun memory unlocked!

40:10
Listen...I love it. Often I respond too quickly.

40:11
Listen more, talk less

40:14
Listening to learn builds empathy for others :)

40:15
I agree, Listening is key!

40:15
Great perspective!

40:18
I think we need a "Cultural" month - where ALL the various cultures and their impact in our world and country (America) is what is highlighted. Not just one or two cultures, but ALL.

40:23
My phone does the same thing, lol

40:25
Absolutley!

40:26
Standardized testing has become the "all eggs in this basket" determiner. Students are so much more than this! One day and one

40:26
But we have to listen to the emotions besides listening to the words

40:26
Does anyone know why the test component is only available from spring to early June?

40:26
Dr. Wilson, such a wise perspective

40:35
What a powerful sharing about listening, Phil. Listening helps you know who a person is- YES.

40:36
wait, you mean that house phones are still a thing? JK..

40:45
I celebrated everything special going on in the world. Black history month, Mexican independence, anything else I would hear or learn about, I would spend time to create a powerpoint explaining the specail day or month. Definitely a learning moment for me when it's something new.

40:46
"Cultural Month" should be everyday

40:53
The more you listen to them the more you understand and connect with them

41:09
That is very true! Allow students to talk you is so important especially in the high school level.

41:10
Was that student heading to math class?!?!

41:11
@Shayla Exactly!

41:12
Standardized testing has become the #1 "all eggs in this basket" determiner of success and failure. Our students are so much more than this!

41:18
Our children need a variety of ways to express themselves and have a safe space to do it - thank you Phil!!

41:29
I believe that 'Education' as a whole became a fishbowl for the world to see that we are more than JUST teachers that we provide our students-community well beyond what the curriculum provides. I salute us all fir being reflevtive enough to bring it to the forefront of discourse

41:30
Re: @Carrie Morales: I learned to finally give the children the time that they NEED to learn. I stopped rushing to cover topics so I was able to listen to the children and actually TEACH them!

41:34
@Althea, I agree.

41:57
@torri Bryant - so very true!! :D

42:05
@Kathleen, I agree!

42:22
Seek first to understand then be understood (Habit 5)

42:28
I believe that as educators we have a responsibility to embed as many cultures into our classrooms as possible.

42:34
verytrue

42:44
Rue's camera is still off.

42:46
White history is taught every month.

42:46
Yes, Angel!

43:14
Bringing them into our homes was a stitch. I had a 1st grader tell me my home was creepy. I inherited some old furniture...lol.

43:20
I Totally agree with you Ms. McDaniel.

43:34
I agree,

43:36
I had a “biracial” student who asked, “why should I celebrate my black race only?

43:51
I like the idea of a “cultural” month!!! Thank you, to the one who said that!

44:32
Good morning!

44:45
I keep a huge range of colored pencils in various skin tones and found my students matching the colors exactly to them.

44:49
@ Angela, that must have been a lot to unpack. I probably would have asked her why should she not celebrate it.

45:17
For me, I have slowed down and enjoyed more interaction with the students rather than worrying about covering all my standards.

45:17
Rue,

45:25
@Angela - I agree with the Angela Alston! How did you respond? I'm also curious why you put biracial in quotation marks.

45:30
Rue's camera is off.

45:39
*with Angela Alston

45:44
Be aware of media exposure.

45:45
These are not isolated comments - I’ve had students of color thinking that everytime they see a student that looks like them in a picture book it’s racist and have had white children crying because they think something is wrong with them because they are white. …

45:47
Is blended another term for mixed race?

45:59
As a parent of elementary aged children, these past few years have been the most difficult and trying of my 16 years.

46:04
It’s interesting how we present things like “pilgrim” and “pilgrimage” in superficial and “holiday” ways when it’s a great opportunity to discuss the human condition and what cultures have in common.

46:36
Sometimes the best lesson in and for a class is to let the students listen to each other and really see how similar they are to each other.

47:50
True

47:55
I agree that we must give the students opportunities to talk and share with each other.

48:05
@Dorothea, I agree and find those days enjoyable. The class get to know each other on a different level.

48:16
Listening without pre-thoughts helps everyone in our discussions.

48:32
we did meditations this year at the beginning of class. the students rashly appreciated it

48:40
really*

48:42
Ben Vallejo, NBCT AYA/Science Los Angeles USD. Summer school 100+F AC was out yesterday :(

48:43
yes if you let the students talk you will also learn something from them and you will understand them more if you give more time listening to them.

48:44
Many times, within our classrooms are the only times students get to share of their differences and their different way of thinking.

48:50
I love everything you said, Whitney!

48:53
What a wonderful analogy! Reminder of being a teacher!

48:53
Empathy needs to be taught for sure! Everyone is going through something!

48:56
That was great!

49:05
WOW! Thank you Whitney.

49:10
Wonderful!

49:13
Nice job

49:13
Yes, very powerful!

49:25
I used to be very strict with late work and docking points. Now, I realize that students have so much for stress on them - just like we do - so I am much more forgiving ...and, lo and behold, there is LESS late work!! :)

49:26
LOVE this sharing about how to show grace to ourselves and others, Whitney, as we move and work through this work

49:30
Trust your gut

49:34
I feel we can use reflection to always better our practice

49:36
I enjoyed Phil's and Whitney's reflective points!

49:51
Pose,Wobble, and Flow…great read! https://www.amazon.com/Pose-Wobble-Flow-Culturally-Instruction/dp/0807756520/ref=asc_df_0807756520/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312034012759&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5812991472782609337&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9030050&hvtargid=pla-568118835520&psc=1

50:06
Dynamic Mindfulness is a meditation with movement & breathe. Here is their website and some videos of the practice. https://www.niroga.org/training/dm/🧘🏽♀️ 🙏🏽

50:21
Everything we needed to know we learned in kindergarten … :)

50:46
Maria, the link didn't work

50:46
YES! Customer service!

50:46
My word for this year is grace— because I desire it from my students and they deserve to get it from me.

50:59
Yes! Patient, Polite, Compassionate - Agree with Rue Avant! Love the concept of good “customer service”

51:02
I journal at the end of each day to reflect on what went well and what needs to improve the next time I teach a lesson. I have journals all the way back to when I student taught!

51:35
Love these insights!

51:39
If you have a choice between being right and being kind, choose kind

51:54
I have a sign in my classroom near my desk for me “Breathe”. Thanks to Rue Avant!

51:57
Journaling is a great way to reflect.

51:58
Journaling is an awesome idea!

52:06
@Shelly that is one thing I hadn't done in years and need to start again.

52:24
Agree with JP

52:24
I have my students journal as I do at the end of each day

52:25
I buy journals with inspiration quotes.

52:25
Hi 👋 I am traveling with my husband for my summer break across the country 🚛 It’s great self-care! Currently we are in a bad rainstorm. Prayerfully I will not lose my connection. Especially at the end and miss the link for attending live and the survey. Just in case I am Monique Coles email is MoniqueMColes@gmail.com. Yes I have learned much about reflection and will reflect on this webinar upon returning to school. I would recommend and actually did recommend that another colleague register for the remaining two days. Thank you!

52:27
@Shelly, I also have done this, but I am not disciplined enough to do it every day! My goal this year is daily journaling

52:35
Encouraging math students to listen to others reasoning...and give them the opportunity to revise their thinking is an AMAZING skill to teach!!

52:40
As a staff leader at my school, I create 5 minutes at the beginning of every staff meeting for educators to journal. Then we begin the meeting.

53:11
Check on your colleagues. It was so easy to shut yourself off this last couple years. Reconnect.

53:13
I took an on additional job, teaching English to Adults, and it was very eye opening teaching students from the beginning levels - intermediate levels of their English proficiency. I had to be very reflective because even though I teach kids with all the confidence in the world, I initially felt very insecure teaching adults (especially when some are very verbal comparing you to their other instructors! Now it's been two years, I love every minute of it. :)

53:36
That is a very good practice Shelly. This past year I had 16 different classes and color coded each class with my journal writing since each class has a different makeup and needs.

53:38
And infused! into our culture!

53:38
I have bought my students a journaling art book called Wreck this journal--I teach cybersecurity. They love it!! Journaling with a twist.

53:39
I have found that journaling at the beginning of class comes with great benefits.

53:45
During my time in college in Hawaii, I felt the idea of Aloha everyday. That is such a powerful message Whitney

53:59
Is “Aloha" similar “Namaste” ?

54:15
These are really good points.

54:27
My neighbor is from Hawaii and she always ends her conversation with 'Aloha'. This is a deeper understanding of the word.

I like Whitney's response to Aloha. Thinking beyond paradigms.

54:47
Ho’oponopono = community circles

54:58
I have journaled for years, but I do not let them go. One wall of my library is old journals. I just can’t let them go. They feel like a part of me.

55:14
Lens of perception makes a difference...Taking it in due time- YOUR time

55:17
decolonize yoga

55:23
Ya'at eeh

55:55
Mahalo e Whitney

56:32
Namaste expresses a spirit of love, kindness, gratitude, and respect toward another. Let's not accept that is has been co-opted.

56:38
My mind is blown right now! Thank you for sharing so much Whitney!

56:44
it/not is

56:50
I just found this online. I love this description. Aloha (/əˈloʊhɑː/ ə-LOH-hah, Hawaiian: [əˈlohə]) is the Hawaiian word for love, affection, peace, compassion and mercy, that is commonly used as a simple greeting but has a deeper cultural and spiritual significance to native Hawaiians, for whom the term is used to define a force that holds together existence.

57:06
I am trying it as well!!!!

57:22
I my school both teachers and students are encourage to take yoga and being mind full to deal with stress

57:36
We are a systems thinking school.

57:49
Thanks for that reframing.

57:51
Each presenter is presenting some great challenges for all of us.

57:53
I agree, Phil! Silence is powerful!!!!

57:57
I’m feeling this conversation is becoming #NotZen … I lived in Nepal for 3 years and understand the purpose and meaning of Namaste … I also do not mind if my friends, whatever their background, want to say Namaste at the end of a yoga session :)Let’s choose important battles …

58:18
Sitting in the discomfort....super important.

58:23
I teach on the Navajo Nation and silence use to bother me as a teacher. In stead I embrace it. My students are very pensive and I allow them think.

58:33
Silence speaks volume!

58:35
Absolutely true!

58:38
Agreed

58:39
Silence as a practice of reflection is not deadly. I agree. However, silencing others as a means of oppression is deadly.

58:43
I agree that silence is not deadly and we must allow them time to think. I totally agree Phil.

58:58
Yes silence provides the space for reflection, connection, creation, and so much more!

59:10
Yoga is not just stretching and breathing. Let's take Yoga back to the original meaning: “…the practice of Yoga leads to the union of individual consciousness with that of the Universal Consciousness, indicating a perfect harmony between the mind and body, Man & Nature.”

59:14
@Delia - Agreed!

59:17
I LOVE this! Silence allows for deeper thinking, reflection and connection, too!

59:23
@heather - big hug

59:39
Other meaningful options: “Shalom”. “As-Salam-u -Alaikum”

59:39
That's deep

59:41
powerful point

59:54
Systems ThinkingSystems Thinking starts with the premise that students deepen their thinking and expand their knowledge when they make connections between their learning and the natural and human-made systems around them.When students learn through a Systems Thinking lens, they understand that actions taken in one area effect others—in their classrooms, communities, and world.Systems Thinking fosters learning through which students explore topical, environmental, and global issues holistically, encouraging both increased social responsibility and action.Learn more about Systems Thinking at Wildwood School:

59:59
That is a marvelous idea, Phil!

01:00:01
Silence is power!

01:00:03
Those are the parents with the great advice! They will tell you about their experience and their grandparents. :(

01:00:08
We prioritize meeting with those parents/guardians of students who are struggling.

01:00:13
It's so important that we encourage everyone to be reflective and learn about themselves and their culture. And we need to recognize that even the majority group has a culture that is valuable. It's that reflection on who you are and why that allows you to respect and appreciate the world of others. https://www.thetiprc.com/post/webinar-communication-across-cultures-culture-and-miscommunication-part-1

01:00:57
YES! Give all a voice, not just the “best.”

01:01:05
Great advice on reflection.

01:01:28
Yes!

01:01:49
When we can meet the needs of the 'least', we can meet the needs of ALL.

01:01:50
YES!

01:01:59
Phil, I have chicken skin right now.

01:01:59
Love this!!

01:02:07
Phil this sounds like my dissertation! Guardian involvement! Amplify voices!

01:02:07
Universal Design

01:02:12
YES!!!

01:02:15
Oh wow Phil, love the transparency!!

01:02:17
Talk to your SPED teachers. A large amount of the kids we work with are in that group.

01:02:20
What small town in Georgia? I am from Georgia also?

01:02:32
Embracing the community…

01:02:41
Students today can not handle silence because they never have any. I challenge my students each day at lunch (8th graders) to just sit and reflect on their day in silence for one minute. The students have such a hard time with silence. When I tell them I never turn on any music on my way to school that I just think about my day.

01:02:48
I love that my admin knows me so well that if I'm asked my thoughts at a staff meeting or PLC that I can request more time to reflect about the question or topic and answer at a later time. Silence does not mean I don't know or have the answers, I just need more time to reflect. Extending this to our students and explicitly explaining the importance of silence is a perfect way to model the importance of reflection.

01:02:51
I love what Phil is saying right now! I am also from a small town in Georgia with one red light - Harlem, GA.

01:02:52
I try to always give a good observation about a student to their parents before I talk to them about what I need help from them with.

01:02:54
Yes!!!

01:03:05
Thank you, Phil!!!!!!!

01:03:06
We love the “ramble!"

01:03:10
Like what you are saying Phil.

01:03:19
Thank you Phil!!

01:03:30
Great perspective Phil!! Thank you!

01:03:45
Thank you for sharing that, You raise really good points to be aware of

01:03:47
My school out performed every other school in the district in all areas. Yeeeaaa! right? But as I listen today and reflect on the year we were always driven to be in the curriculum. This yielded growth per se but was there really any growth? Can it be shown in ways other than the student's grades or how well they did on EOG tests?

01:03:53
👏🏾👏🏾 Courageous conversations

01:03:59
Let them know it’s allowed.

01:03:59
Lisa---so right!!!!! Students are also looking for superficial affirmations from their peers, thanks to social media.

01:03:59
Peer Grading

01:04:01
morning check in

01:04:02
Yes, listen to the quiet students! We had an end of the year panel discussion with students and parents, their voices changed our focus in building our school culture.

01:04:03
Model how it's done and give them time to do it.

01:04:04
journals

01:04:06
That was great!! Listen to/poll the students/families who are not considered "the best" Those families are usually non participatory. How do we reach them to have this much needed conversation?

01:04:08
Model reflection and as others have already mentioned, give them time to reflect.

01:04:09
Talk to them and listen to them all the time

01:04:10
modeling

01:04:10
Give students extra time

01:04:11
journaling

01:04:11
we can model how to reflct

01:04:12
Wonderful idea to have more focus on the least academically-inclined among us.🙂

01:04:12
Challenge your students to get to know themselves (https://www.thetiprc.com/post/webinar-communication-across-cultures-culture-and-miscommunication-part-1) .

Respect and modeling

01:04:15
I would like to incorporate the one minute of silence to reflect on their day.

01:04:17
Encourage student reflection by modeling it and practicing it at the end or beginning of the day.

01:04:19
Journals

01:04:21
journaling, whiteboard response time, exit tickets

01:04:21
Phil, great points. One of the obstacles we have is some parents are intimidated by teachers because they are educated. To make parents more comfortable, I try to set up coffee and donut days before school just to introduce myself as a person so parents are not as intimidated and feel more comfortable throughout the year to help their children grow and develop.

01:04:21
I think as educators, we rae doing a better job reflecting on our students cultural backgrounds but I cannot say the same thing about our BIPOC colleagues.

01:04:21
Circle time/chat first thing in the morning

01:04:21
jot an answer and then share

01:04:21
Classic show and tell

01:04:24
If we practice reflection often, the students will become familiar and make it part of their practice.

01:04:25
Class meeting and journals

01:04:25
Give them more time to reflect.

01:04:26
I like the idea of journaling

01:04:27
journaling both in private and on large posters

01:04:27
Discussions about specific topics

01:04:28
Model what reflection looks like and have them do this consistantly

01:04:28
Journaling at the end of the day.

01:04:29
Modeling

01:04:30

At the end of the day I would ask my students(kinder) to share either one thing they learned or one thing they are proud of

01:04:30
model with them

01:04:31
I use "family circles" to reflect throughout the year.

01:04:31

Modeling

01:04:35
Have them share “What do I wonder?”

01:04:36

01:04:36
I ask them and lead them to get to know themselves first through reflective journaling

01:04:36
Teach them how to have discourse

01:04:37
“Time to Think” I actually allot time for the students to think

01:04:37
Ask, "what makes you say that?”

01:04:38
I really like A Long Talk training is good!

01:04:38
We do a thing called "Mindful Morning" each day.

01:04:39

goal setting & reflection in learning logs

01:04:45
Informal chances to share thoughts.

01:04:45
Journaling, exit tickets, daily self chats

01:04:46
I allow collaborative conversations

01:04:46
I'm an Art teacher, at the beginning of each period I will have a theme, a thought, that students draw and think.

01:04:46
Make the exercise a daily exercise schoolwide

01:04:46
Goal setting

01:04:47
Monthly surveys on Google Forms to check in with them and have them reflect on their engagement, learning, and emotions.

Discourse before writing

01:04:50
Model reflection for the kids and explain why you are doing what you are doing

01:04:50
I love to use Seesaw so that students as well as their parents can reflect on their digital portfolios right away. Their parents can share the digital journals with up to 10 others.

01:04:51
Model what you want the students to do, give them strategies.

01:04:52
sentence starters then share with shoulder partner

01:04:52
Wheel of Ideas - for a Morning Meeting.

01:04:53
Modeling

01:04:54
For my group, using a lot of explicit modeling and practice in small group helps empower students to engage in reflection. I use a lot of Think Alouds.

01:04:55
We need to respect their cultures and perspectives. Listen to help and being empathetic!

01:04:56
I have classical music going for the first 5 minutes ever day. Students can journal or just sit quietly and think. If someone needs to chat with me, I am available because I just am available too.

01:04:56
conversations…setting up a brave space for students

01:04:56
Definitely pair share and group share

01:04:57
modeling, journaling, class sharing time

01:04:57
You have to create a culture for this. Everybody writes, a technique taken from Teach Like a Champion.

01:04:58
Portfolio creations

01:04:58
We do reflections on what type of partner and learner are you and have them grade themself

01:04:58
Engage students in restorative circles.

01:04:59
We need to help them build their self- awareness. They must learn to reflect to develop this skill

01:04:59
on Mondays, I ask how was your weekend and what are you looking forward to this week?

01:04:59
I *love* the idea of establishing one minute for students to reflect...

01:05:00
Model first, sentence starters, small group shares

01:05:01
I give time after events for students to sit in moment to have the silence to process what they feel so I know how to best guide them forward

01:05:01
Engaging students might start with us guiding them to discover what they are passionate about so they connect meaning to learning.

01:05:01
I let my students share with the class about their personal lives the first 5 minutes of the class. This gets the chatter out of the way and I learn more about my students.

01:05:02
I give them regular anonymous polls and GoogleForm surveys to check in on them, and also have them journal every week to share with me privately.

01:05:02
Purposely Share embarrassing stores/pictures

01:05:03
Open time for questions and listening to each other

01:05:04

Wheel of ideas - wonderful!

01:05:08
Be flexible in our teaching. Sometimes use time to listen first.

01:05:08
Varying activities-sometimes write then think and other times think then write.

01:05:09
engaging in background knowledge pre-flection to bring more personal perspectives into the lesson

01:05:12
At the end of the day, we discuss what good and bad things might have happened. we discuss how to make the day better.

01:05:12
If we practice reflection often the students will see how empowering reflection is for them in their lives, their classwork, and their lifelong learning.

01:05:16
Journaling seems to always work

01:05:18
I think by showing them we engage in it too. Be an example

01:05:22
give them multiple options to share such as discussions, journaling, talking groups, exit tickets

01:05:22
Letting them know they have voice in every space.

01:05:23
My students have moderate to severe disabilities so I give them each a chance to share opinions in class. It looks different for every student.

01:05:26

01:05:35
mindfulness video

01:05:37
Have the students keep a journal where they can write their though for the day

01:05:47
That was the huge take-away for me...students need to reflect...did they do their best work? What support did they need? How can they help and support each other? How was their learning easy and hard? What could you do next time?

01:05:47
Reflect with a formatted quiz and from there develop sound conversations

01:05:50
I have students write about an experience that was fun in their life

01:05:51
journaling. project based learning

01:06:03
I have students in a few minutes (online) so I need to jet. I'll be back later! ALOHA!!! :)

01:06:08
I think aloud often. Whenever we have something challenging in the text, I talk about how it impacts me and how it challenges me to facilitate discussion in class.

01:06:10
Listen, write, and create art-- music or visual

01:06:31
We make sure to discuss feelings as well. How did this event or experience make you feel?

01:06:38
I ask students if I should use the same activity next year and why or why not.

01:06:43
Step inside is a strategy that allows students to create the perspective from various points of view. You have to model these strategies.

01:06:49
Allow student to express themselves in the various art forms. Ask the student "what does school look like to you. What would you change, add, or omit,

01:06:55
Hey everyone

01:07:01
grafitti walls chalk talk picto meters - writing strategies

01:07:03
I like the pictorial journaling. Will try it this year.

01:07:06
Students filling out their own rubric for a project with a conference for them to explain their choices in a supportive way.

01:07:09
“I Think Videos” - students make videos on various topics and freely talk about it. After we watch the video, we discuss what the author was trying to say and ask questions and discuss it.

01:07:29
Begin with open questions: time to think. Such as 'What have you just learned?' 'Where or if not why would you use it?' 'Now that you know this, what would you share with others?'

01:07:34
I gave my students a digital journal, but so few of them ever wrote anything in them.

01:07:38
Best practices...

01:07:43
yes Phil that is a good idea.

01:07:49
Great idea

01:07:58
I love that quote!

01:07:59
The best professional development is to video and critique yourself.

01:08:13
Thanks for the resource.

01:08:15
Student teachers - for concept review

01:08:26
@ Tanya - I agree

01:08:27
Great resources

01:08:30
Yes, I always share my videos of classes with the class I video and we discuss what we all see. I am always amazed at what they see.

01:08:45
from lense to mirrow….pivot 1 in the book 4 pivots by Ginwright.

01:08:50
Reflecting can also be a formative assessment.

01:08:54
I encourage my students to listen before they answer.

01:08:58
There are so many cool ideas that I have read in the chat that I am eager to try some next year!

01:08:58
We have to be OK as teachers to look at ourselves and how we come across to students. We cannot “blame” students.

01:09:19
YES. Make sure our students know that their voices matter.

01:09:19
Thanks to everyone!

01:09:20
This was incredible!!! Thank you so much.

01:09:21

01:09:31
Totally agree, Theresa.

01:09:31
So great! Thank you!

01:09:32
When I taught at the Hyde Leadership PCS in DC, there was a regular, periodic class period devoted to group reflection. We called it "EEMO," because we set the reflection to determine if students felt they were working at Excellence, making an Effort, going through the Motions, or simply Off Track.

01:09:33
great session, thank you

01:09:35
