You really need to read the blog of Cohort 21 alum @jenbibby. Its like you share the same brain – http://cohort21.com/jenbibby/. She was on a very similar journey and was interested in engaging her FSL students in a very similar way. We will have to invite her to the 3rd face to face so you can connect.

Inspiring @gvogt and @ckirsh to drop some gems into this conversation and push some great ideas forward. Also nice to see Myke Healy jump in here. It means your ideas are being read by those outside of the Cohort as well.

To see you take up DT and Harkness to add meaning and value on top of the excellent teaching that you do is a great thing to witness. I would encourage you now to take that next step with Design Thinking (if you haven’t already). Get the students, en francais, to reflect on their thinking, to reflect on their…Read more

The discussion is still rich but I like the tracking of who speaks in the Harkness format. Here is a link explaining what happens in a round table.

Wow! What an inspired post! You’re ready to take on the world and I believe you’ll be successful! I think you should connect with @vhcivan as she’s looking at social and emotional needs.

I love these strategies because they could work for all subject areas. I would love to hear from our French Teacher alumni about the strategies they use or if they have any experience with this one.
