#utedchat A1: I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. Thomas A. Edison

A2: the best successes have come from my many failures—education has helped learn how to fail faster and more efficiently—each one is that much closer to the next success, after all . #utedchat

A3: by showing the failures as part of the learning process. Miss Frizzle was a great example of this! #utedchat

A4: I loved one of my teacher’s approach by creating “learning sandbox” portions of his lesson and he always designed a situation where we had multiple opportunities to fail and emphasized the time was to look at the why of our failures to help us get to the solution. #utedchat

A5: I would say tracking for mastery is key #utedchat

Intro: Jeff Van Hulten, Policy Adviser to USBE, new friend of Kiera Beddes, M.A. T.Ed. (best lunch date today)! I think freedom to the teachers on dress codes! #Utedchat

A1: I’ve never eaten in the faculty room. Someone want to invite me? #Utedchat

A3: Short meetings with food and intention. #utedchat

A4: the question is did they save you a space to sign? I love the idea of stamp! #utedchat

A5: Unconstitutional (generally). BUT great opportunity to engage parents in their student’s learning. Also don’t forget the board rule R277-628 that requires a selection and reconsideration policy. #utedchat
