A5 - Teachers have taken an opportunity to build community in their classrooms and continue to do so by encouraging students to become actively engaged in the learning! #NNPSChat

FQ - While observing teachers during a change from all virtual to a combination of virtual and hybrid instruction, I would continue to advise teachers to create collaborative communities together as they support one another along the journey! #NNPSChat

Intro- My name is Mary Hardesty and I'm an assistant principal at Denbigh High School...go Patriots! I'm ready to hand code interviews over spring break! #NNPSChat

A1 - Student engagement is purposeful planning on the part of the teacher to engage all students by way of student agency! When this happens a mindset of all students reaching a level of success is observed! #NNPSChat

A2 - Student engagement shows effort and work ethic on the part of the student. Students who are compliant completing assignments are typically those who always do. Those thoroughly engaged thrive from voice and choice! Their results reflect their engagement! #NNPSChat

A3 - While difficult during virtual learning, hands-on activities by way of using manipulatives (ex. Skittles to determine probability) sparks student curiosity. Ultimately...Teacher Creativity + Peaking Student Interest = Impacts Student Outcomes #NNPSChat

A4 - Meaningful feedback should be cyclic and ongoing. Students thrive on teacher feedback. Implementation of formative assessments along the way provides opportunity for continued feedback to not only improve student learning but also student confidence! #NNPSChat

A5 - I'm hopeful to observe voice and choice where students become owners of their learning. (Ex. A 3x3 matrix with 9 total questions where each row increases by level of difficulty and students are asked to choose one problem from each row to solve.) Students select! #NNPSChat

Equitable grading practices should be fair and consistent for all students! #NNPSGradingforEquity

Grading practices call for mindset changes, stakeholder input, and a response to support student growth along the way! #NNPSGradingforEquity #NNPSProud

Based on my learning, I think literacy is an opportunity for students to grow no matter what subject they are in! Incorportate reading, writing, research, and communication! #NNPSLiteracy4All
