I also think it's amazing when you can learn together in multiple arenas! So many new angles of learning!<br /><br />I think one of the biggest take aways for me as well was the growth of independent learning! And trying to sit back and do more observing and listening! It's hard because we want to jump in and rescue, YET we know learning comes through a little struggle. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Maria!<br /><br />MichelleMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04822472844833732246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597522349823417206.post-45274933140070278702016-07-07T09:26:41.212-04:002016-07-07T09:26:41.212-04:00But every time I do wait I'm always impressed ...But every time I do wait I'm always impressed with the thinking.

It is hard to wait, to sit back and note, choose, and guide. <br />Deb Frazierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14148765538558251392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597522349823417206.post-39829466690226750382016-07-05T20:00:42.437-04:002016-07-05T20:00:42.437-04:00When I read Readers Front and Center that book rea...When I read Readers Front and Center that book really shifted my timing.

I love that you said this:I am learning to slow down and becoming more of a diagnostician. Listening, observing, listening, observing more. <br />YES!

I think the fact that they involve collaboration with students makes it even more powerful. I still have to watch the videos - they seem great. Listening and observing are so important. It's easy to forget to do those things when we're trying to fit in all that needs to be taught within a day, a unit, or a curriculum, but sometimes slowing down helps us to do better work.Lisa Maucionehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17391834262945101696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597522349823417206.post-16660648941782533202016-07-04T15:05:16.366-04:002016-07-04T15:05:16.366-04:00It's such a stronger experience when you can c...It's such a stronger experience when you can continue conversations into the school year..

I appreciate your thinking about the bookmark as a tool to explore more and fine tune for your classroom. I also was thinking a lot about that tool and how it could work in my room. I have quite a bit of thinking/reflecting to do as I process how to make a tool like this work with 130 students. I want the tool to be student-driven and a reflection piece so that students can see where they've come from and where they're going.

Ensuring that I am providing a learning environment for my students to develop agency is going to be a huge focus for me. I worry that since I am moving down in grades, I am going to have to work hard to not step in at the slightest sign of struggle in my kids.

As a sailor, that phrase, "able to shift currents in our teaching" spoke to me. Hope we all will. Good idea to watch the videos first and hear their voices as you read. You are far ahead of me (I'm only on page 5) but I look forward to our conversations.
