A3 I find with my students when we spend time discussing how what we are learning connects to the outside world, that is their favorite part of the lesson. When we connect multiple topics, especially from other content areas, that warms my heart. #realitycheckchat

A3: “Proactively” stands out as something I want to do better. Having a plan in place for offering varied learning opportunities instead of being merely reactive would result in more thoughtful differentiation #trysomething #realitycheckchat

A1: I definitely learned best through discussing with other people. Shocking, I know, to find out that I love talking, but for my money you can’t beat a good discussion to hash out ideas and clear up confusion. I was not a fan of videos! #trysomething #RealityCheckChat

A3: What stands out is just how dynamic this is. It's more than a choice board. Not an extra-tracked classroom. And it's "respectful" -- to student interest, readiness, learning style. Not just adding MORE or LESS of something -- but a qualitative difference. #REALityCheckChat

A3: “respectful tasks” stands out to me, especially the word “respectful.” If what we’re asking students to do isn’t respectual to who they are as learners and what they can/cannot do, then what are we even doing? #RealityCheckChat – at Cary, IL
