1:1 makes the learning possibilities limitless! Whole group, small group, and individual learning will all greatly benefit from this. #1stTeachChat

Q4: Just as we expect our students to collaborate and create a sense of community, we as teachers need to do the same with our colleges. Share with and encourage one another! Especially with new things that could be challenging. #1stTeachChat

Heather DeLeon! Owens, 2nd grade!! Hello all 😁 #1stTeachChat

#1stteachchat A1: Academic conversation is important because it lets us see what students know as well as what we, as educators, need to adjust in future lessons and small group instruction.

#1stteachchat A2: I love cooperative learning in small group because it ensures that each child is participating because they understand they are responsible for other Ss learning. This allows them to see other points of view, collaborate, and use critical thinking.

#1stteachchat A3: Grouping students based on ability allows teachers to focus on student achievement by being able to differentiate lessons based on students capabilities. Focusing in on strengths and weaknesses and building off of both.

#1stteachchat A5: I always implement student voice. I feel like this gives them power over their learning. When a student feels encouraged to take risks, they are more apt to encourage others and in turn, become leaders.

I am so excited to hear your stories! We can all learn from each other through this great #1stTeachChat! @tylerisdlearn

Q1: How have you witnessed students owning their success? Habit 5 @tylerisdlearn #1stTeachChat @MissMac2020 @MissByard

A1: We use data notebooks to meet about personal goals we want to meet as well as what we have accomplished! They ♥️ it! I also let them model how to solve math problems as they pretend to be the teacher, asking all the right questions to their peers! #1stTeachChat @tylerisdlearn

I personally love breaking down the TEKS! Using the resources available, my team and I, discuss what the TEKS mean and how we implement that in our classes. #1stteachchat

A2: Once I understand the TEK, I know exactly what I need to do to provide the best learning environments for all students. This allows me to provide the best hands on activities as well as use the right tools. #IUnderatoodTheAssignment #1stTeachchat

A4: In my class, I use heterogeneous groups. This allows all students to collaborate and use their favorite skill: MATH TALK. I am also able to pull homogeneous groups to small group instructions. #1stTeachchat

A5: I firmly believe in communication. I do individual morning check-ins with my students before we begin our day. I love hearing about what they took in from the day before and how they processed the information!#1stTeachchat
