I definitely want to loop in @NShayan @HFransen @estewart @CGaffney @JBairos who all are interested in this and as fellow language teachers will have some insights to share.

The examples that you provided felt close to home. One thing that I struggle with is how to respond to students who don’t want your feedback during the process. If they say “nah, I’m good” or just avoid you all together, how much do I need to push in order to feel like I’m doing my…Read more

Most difficult for me is escaping the paradigm or mould that somehow exists in my subconscious. It can be difficult – maybe the most difficult – to be ourselves , especially with a default mode so easy to fall into. It’s what we ask of our students though – to know who they are,…Read more

You are not alone. For the last several years of C21 we have seen this creep up and up in the Actions Plans of the past.

Your Action Plan question of “How might we create a classroom, where evaluation is evolving in order to accurately gauge a student’s ongoing learning?” is a ambitious but wonderfully important one.

I don’t even know where to start! Lots of good ideas here @jroberts! I am right there with you on the ‘innovation’ page … deconstructing that word an seeing the potential for how we might engage with a culture of innovation is what I plan to work with over the next few months.

It’s hard enough to be open with our thoughts – we already feel judged. And then we add the layer of “writing” and the staunch conventions and traditions and criticisms that can debilitate us .

I’m not sure about oreos and pjs every time, but I think we should definitely pay closer attention to the relationship between laughter and learning. There’s an action plan in there for sure!

Thanks @apetrolito for sharing!
On another note, we should compare notes and share resources for Comm Tech – I always love hearing how other teachers are doing it.
