Tech Mentors' Retreat - Day 2

25 teachers from UWCSEA Learn about Coaching and Mentoring

  1. The implementation dip - how will this affect our practice? #uwctech http://pic.twitter.com/NNmAs6x1
  2. Thinking about implementation dips from Micheal Fullum, this is another cool visual... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hype_cycle #uwctech
  3. Ground new ideas in pedagogy - always approach from the educational background, the tech comes second. Not 'here's a cool app!' #uwctech
  4. Can be difficult when a technical solution actually shines light on teaching practice that needs transformational change. #uwctech
  5. Immunity systems are often invisible. They are individual and shared. A coach or mentor often shines light into these dark corners. #uwctech
  6. My phrase for today "ruthless e-examination of reality" Michael Fullun. Very necessary for real change. #uwctech
  7. 3 Learning-Focused tools for addressing adaptive challenges: Pausing, Probing, Paraphrasing #uwctech
  8. Pausing = students answered in full sentences, more reluctant students participate, more critical thinking #uwctech
  9. Charades was a great energy boosting activity for after the break #uwctech
  10. 2 arenas for paraphrasing - emotion AND content. The emotion needs to be validated. I am listening, I understand... #uwctech
  11. 3 forms of paraphrazing: Acknowledge & Clarify, summarize & organize, shift conceptual focus #uwctech
  12. Acknowledge & Clarify: "You're concerned about... You would like to see..." #uwctech
  13. Summarize & organize: "You have 2 goals here... We're struggling with 3 themes..." #uwctech
  14. Shift conceptual focus: "So a _____ here is.." (value, belief, goal, assumption, concept) #uwctech
