18: Combining Instructional Coaching strategies learned this summer in addition to this learning will help both encourage and support Ts to integrate inquiry. Additionally, using inquiry as a model for PD and structured sessions to model and individualize learning. #miched-METS

Q17: Ts I work with have many business and industry connections as well as advisory boards. Working with Ts to implement inquiry, I would help think through connections as well as the content of the authentic piece to find the best audiences beyond class. #miched-METS

Q16: Coaching Ts, I wonder if most challenging task would be co-creating criteria with Ss for the authentic piece. The rest seem like familiar tasks applied in different context. I think Ts will excel at providing Ss opportunities for feedback. #miched-METS

Q15: Opportunities include model for any learner to follow as scaffold for learning. Highlights skills transcending the classroom: timeline creation, goal setting, and evidence to support achievement. #michED-METS

Q14: Working with Ts, interest in all authentic pieces possible. Some form of explanation for visual art, photography, dance, and drama might help provide evidence of learning and connections to content. #michED-METS

Q13: The graphic clearly structures the planning process for Ss. It directs students to think about the end product and work backwards to identify specific steps to create the final product. #michED-METS

T-20 days until the first day of school. Worth a listen for some ideas #education #grading #newteacher #assessment cultofpedagogy.com/late-work…

A9: As I looked at the graphic again, the "reflect and revise" signs caught my attention. Promotes the need to keep processing the question, research, evidence, and final product throughout the process each time shaping and refining the learning. #michED-METS

A8: Recent learning activity proud of was for Ts; Investigated how might increase student-centeredness in their classroom. Definitely guided inquiry; wondering if individual coaching conversations best place for the free inquiry to live as an instructional coach? #michED-METS

A7: Wondering the significance of the depth of pool at each type. Does depth reflect level of learning or complexity of inquiry. Graphic provides practical characteristics of inquiry types for Ts to get started. #michED-METS

A6: Initial reaction amid much wondering - Pros: S engagement, ownership of learning, flexibility, and choice. Cons: Develop/establish structure for student empowerment, meet curriculum requirements, translate/communicate learning in current education system #michED-METS

A5: Possess: flexibility, hands-on activities, passion for content, life skills, meaningful tasks. Adopt: intentionally teach multiple ways, connect story telling to learning or reconsider value add for Ss, make space for Ss to demonstrate learning multiple ways. #michED-METS

A4: Good teaching looks like identifying where learners are and providing flexible means for measurable progress toward accomplishing established learning goals. #michED-METS

A3: Wondering if co-designing annual PD syllabus/calendar would work similarly. Ts shape building and learning initiatives established by admin. Envision connections among building "experts", support, ownership, and accountability for learning. #miched-mets

A2: Easiest-unpack inquiry and build foundation; I can plan and establish structure, vision, and input experiences for Ss learning. Challenging-flip control; contingent on mutual trust, vision, and foundation in place to empower Ss and relinquish control. #michED-METS

A1: Educator "students" personalized learning about student centered learning. Choice of lenses: characteristics, planning, strategies, assessment, technology. Applied learning to increase student-centeredness of assignment, unit, or input experience. Engagement. #michED-METS
