First retreat with both of my boys!!!! #bestdayever

In this week's episode, Chan and Mrs. T. discuss the four C's of problem-based learning: collaboration, communication, creative thinking, and creativity. Problem-based learning is student-centered pedagogy. Simply present your students with an open-ended, essential question or problem and then allow them to figure out the answer on their own. In this way, students are given the opportunity to learn about a topic through the experience of finding the answer or solving the problem! Link in the bio.

Middle school vball in ON!!!

Episode 5 of i.nspiration e.ducation is up! This time Chan and Mrs. T. explain how students are better able to retain new knowledge if allowed to learn in the moment. We maintain that allowing room for serendipity in your instruction can lead to organic and authentic engagement. Rather than lecturing, try asking an essential question and then stand aside and watch your students own their learning!

When a group of your photo students find a blue dragonfly. ♡

This weekend I was given the fantastic opportunity to photograph Breakers Water Park at night. @statik_rc made a connection with the park owner and was able to get me and a handful of photography students thru the gate. It's sad to see the place in such disrepair. I remember going here as a kid. It was THE place to be. #breakers #breakerswaterpark #nightphotography #nikond750 #teachersofinstagram

Episode 4 of Inspiration Education discusses how taking risks in education and instruction can reap great rewards. Our 9 high school girls took a giant risk in scuba diving or snorkeling for the very first time, and in doing so, gained valuable insight into who they are, what they are capable of, and the wonders of the ocean not previously known to them. Psychology and science classes can explain the nature of a person and the environment under the water all day long, but when a student experiences it for themselves that education will last a lifetime! We challenge you to take a risk and ask your students to actually experience their education, not just read about it in a textbook or hear about it from you. Have you figured out a way to create "experience" in your classroom? Tell us about it!

The third episode on Inspiration Education is up! Link in my bio. :) In this episode we explain what authentic relationships in an educational setting mean and what they can look like. We also provide examples of the positive impact these relationships can have between student and student, teacher and student, and teacher and teacher. Or, maybe you just want to watch to see me and @dchstiggerteacher play "I Spy." 🤣 #inspirationeducation #trust #students #education #educators #teacher #instruction #highschoolstudents #k12 #studentteacher #buildingrelationships #authenticrelationships
