A1: Ask questions that prove student thinking and expand it… and really LISTEN to them. Have students repeat and reframe as needed in ways that highlight the brilliance of student ideas. #ElemMathChat
I shared this with my daughter today. Your post made me think we need to do this too with students. "I will not teach or love or show you anything perfectly, but I will let you see me, and I will always hold sacred the gift of seeing you. Truly, deeply, seeing you.” Brene' Brown #ElemMathChat
Also the part about the repeat....be sure you aren't "fixing" their ideas when you record or restate them. Their ideas are probably fine just the way they are, and they need to believe that. #ElemMathChat
REALLY listening is so key. They can tell if you are listening TO them rather than FOR specific answers. #ElemMathChatwww.youtube.com/watch?v=h00U...
