As you read this book, whether you are a teacher, an instructional coach, district or site administrator, or anyone who cares about how we learn in schools, I hope you consider the power within your sphere of influence to create the change you want to see in your own context. The role of you, the reader, is not to just consume and copy my ideas or the ideas of others I will share but to dive in, question, create new meaning and ultimately ask “What If?” and begin to create the change you wish to see in your context.During the Twitter Chat on Wednesday, 5/8 at 6 PST we had an awesome group that connected and shared so many ideas, questions, and examples. Here are some of my favorites ( there are so many I couldn’t add them all!) but definitely check out the #LCInnovation hashtag and please feel free to continue to add your examples!
A3: In my role I love removing barriers for Ts. Since Jan I have facilitated over 60 @breakoutEDU experiences in classrooms K-12 so Ts can see what immersive & empowered learning looks like and remove some of the fear of trying something new! It’s been amazing! #LCInnovation pic.twitter.com/PPwYEHDELC

A3:if you want to build a culture of risk taking for Ss AND Ts -YOU have to take risks, YOU have to fail, YOU have to learn & adjust.

It is wonderful that Katie reminds us that teachers and administrators should be included as learners and have the same kinds of hands-on, collaborative opportunities that students do! I agree that we need to embrace the different ways that adults learn, in addition to the different ways children learn.
