The Thinking Project

A4: We are offering free sessions to support teachers right now and throughout the summer. #buildHOPEedu

A3: I think we can learn and test what makes school more about them and their experiences. We can ask them, try out different ideas, and pay attention to what resonates for them #buildHOPEedu

A2: When I was a kid I enjoyed friends, interesting classes, learning new things, expanding the ways I thought of things. I think most kids are similar #buildHOPEedu

A1: Hi everyone! I tell them, ask them questions about their lives, write them interesting feedback, sometimes I used their writing as class text and gave shout outs to their fascinating thoughts, brought in interesting foods I thought they'd like and probably hadn't tried before... #buildHOPEedu

Thank you for hosting and to everyone for participating! #buildhopeedu

A4: we are utilizing our data to understand how we have the most positive and supportive impact, and we build from there #buildhopeedu

A3: we love working with understanding thoughts that inspire hope - that helps people learn tge causes and mechanisms generating hope #buildhopeedu

A2: my thought is there's a lot of uncertainty now, and offering honesty and open-mindedness and healthy connection is a balm and nourishment in uncertainty #buildhopeedu

A1: we keep learning, trying, and learning from what works and what doesn't. We’re honest and iterative, and invested in honest, creative thinking and relationships #buildhopeedu

Hi everyone! We’re a nonprofit dedicated to supporting students and teachers in questioning stressful, limited thinking. Excited to be here! #buildhopeedu

Thank you for hosting and to everyone for participating! #eduskychat

A3: really get to know them, their interests, and how they learn and produce work in ways that are meaningful to them #eduskychat

A2: one way is to get to know them and support them as people. Then you can help them engage w/assignments in ways they feel connected and comfortable with engaging #eduskychat

A1: hi! When I taught I tried to have multiple ways to support all student voices and ideas, and to create opportunities for dialogue #eduskychat

Thank you so much for sharing. He gave and contributed so much, including resources and sincerity ❤️ #sschat

Thank you for hosting, and thanks to everyone for participating! #buildHOPEedu

A4: Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente, Simone Biles are three :) #buildHOPEedu

A3: We can start by honestly exploring examples of when school & learning are exciting. & I think also by supporting ourselves to be excited by the learning we're offering students. When we believe in & are excited by the classrooms we're building, it often supports student excitement! #buildHOPEedu

It can also help us all see interconnection and relevance #buildHOPEedu

A2: One idea is drawing thematic connections between the two. Issues of fairness, effort, not giving up when you're down, teamwork and collaboration, support... all of these are major themes in ELA and social studies, and can be connected into math and science #buildHOPEedu

A1: The first thoughts that come to my mind are sportsmanship, understanding both winning and losing in experiential ways, fairness and integrity, teamwork, strength, agility, resilience and effort #buildHOPEedu

You're welcome! Happy to be here, and thank you for hosting! #buildHOPEedu

Hi! We're a nonprofit dedicated to supporting students and teachers in questioning fixed-mindset thinking in their own lives and relationships, and in the content they teach and learn. Excited to be here! I enjoy watching tennis and gymnastics #buildHOPEedu

Thanks for a great #sunchat everyone!

Thanks! #sunchat

Are there models of competency based education working? #sunchat

It really opened my eyes to the benefits of cross curricular work, and the relevance of it for students and me. We were dealing w/a real world issue from the lens of science and social studies #sunchat

When I taught one year the science teacher and I did a cross curricular project on lithium mining. I taught social studies and we shared kids. It was awesome! #sunchat

So 180 students, and you see 90 each day? #sunchat

What are the most effective ways you differentiate and does partner work help? #sunchat
