A3: We can give kids options for assignment completion.. allow them to choose between Kahoot, IXL, worksheet or quizizz! #npsdchat

A4: I will use the feedback from my end of the year survey to drive which platforms I use! I will provide choices and continuously encourage kids to seek help & challenge themselves with new and old concepts! #npsdchat

My name is Erica Volm from Pennbrook MS. I teach 7th grade math! I am tweeting today from Harleysville! #npsdchat

A1: Authentic learning experiences happen when collaboration, discussion, and discovery is infused in a learning environment. When student can learn from each other and see how curriculum can relate to real world experience #NPSDCHAT

A1: An authentic learning experience to me is when the students are the focus of each lesson. The lessons are connected to the students' interests and real-life connections are made daily! #npsdchat

A2. ENERGY & EXCITEMENT from the teacher🤩If students see your genuine enthusiasm about a topic/subject, they will feel more empowered to replicate it and learn from you because it seems like something fun that they want to be a part of! #NPSDchat

A2. Personal connection now more than ever. Understanding where Ss are coming from emotionally in order to build relationships that inspire learning and taking risks. #npsdchat

A2: Connecting the lessons to the real-world and their everyday life encounters! Teachers who are energetic and show that they themselves are still eager to learn and grow is so contagious to the students' attitudes about learning! #npsdchat

A3: By having conversations with kids throughout lessons, google forms, exit tickets as a quick CFU, entrance tickets, quizizz and kahoot games, nearpod/peardeck... there truly are so many ways to measure student competencies! #npsdchat

A4: Set up a virtual google meet to go over things they didn't fully grasp or provide online videos of other teachers teaching the concept (math antics posts fun videos for 7th graders)! Sometimes it just takes an explanation in another person's wording for it to click #npsdchat

Hii everyone! Erica Volm checking in from Philly today! I teach 7th grade math at Pennbrook! #npsdchat

A1: To provide our students and peers with positive, constructive, ongoing feedback that focuses on the future rather than past mistakes that cannot be changed. The goal is to offer solutions to improve the situation #npsdchat

A2: It creates an environment of acceptance. Students feel more confident in their abilities and can eventually push themselves to try new challenges! #npsdchat

A3: Pose "what if" questions and work together to come up with solutions to the issue! #npsdchat

A4: Don't feel like you have to have your entire school year figured out right now. It is ok to go with the flow and learn as you go... much like everyone else will be doing! We're all in this together! #npsdchat

A1: Building relationships with students and creating an environment that fosters risk-taking, acceptance, and encouragement amongst each other #npsdchat

A2: By connecting lessons to everyday life for the students, finding ways to express ourselves and our interests, as well as providing opportunities for students to do the same #npsdchat

A3: Allow for more project-based assignments, get students working in small groups or working one-on-one with them! We can also use Mentimeter or other engaging activities throughout our live lessons to keep kids engaged! #npsdchat

A4: Flexibility - This school year will be VERY different from the rest and my normal routines in school are going to change. I need to remind myself to be flexible with students, technology and curriculum! #npsdchat
