  And

  our

  attention
• 1:05
  to
• 1:05
  a
• 1:06
  powerful
• 1:06
  framework
• 1:07
  and
• 1:07
  a
• 1:07
  set
• 1:07
  of
• 1:07
  strategies
• 1:08
  they've
• 1:09
  created
• 1:10
  to
• 1:10
  humanize
• 1:11
  the
• 1:11
  classroom
• 1:11
  environment
• 1:12
  and
• 1:12
  empower
• 1:13
  each
• 1:14
  student
• 1:14
  to
• 1:15
  thrive.
• 1:16
  You
• 1:16
  know,
• 1:16
  this
• 1:16
  was
• 1:16
  such
• 1:17
  a
• 1:17
  great
• 1:17
  conversation
• 1:18
  and
• 1:18
  there
• 1:18
  were
• 1:19
  so
• 1:19
  many
• 1:19
  intriguing
• 1:20
  ideas
• 1:20
  that
• 1:21
  we
• 1:21
  brought
• 1:21
  to
• 1:21
  the
• 1:21
  space.
• 1:22
  I
• 1:22
  hope
• 1:23
  you'll
• 1:23
  listen
• 1:23
  to
• 1:23
  the
• 1:23
  entire
• 1:24
  episode
• 1:24
  to
• 1:24
  hear
• 1:24
  the
• 1:25
  details.
• 1:25
  But
• 1:26
  among
• 1:26
  those
• 1:27
  ideas
• 1:27
  that
• 1:27
  I
• 1:27
  think
• 1:28
  you'll
• 1:28
  find
• 1:28
  intriguing
• 1:29
  are.
• 1:30
  I
• 1:30
  needed
• 1:31
  to
• 1:31
  give
• 1:31
  up
• 1:32
  a
• 1:32
  lot
• 1:32
  of
• 1:32
  the
• 1:33
  control
• 1:34
  we
• 1:35
  expect
• 1:35
  teachers
• 1:36
  at
• 1:36
  the
• 1:36
  board
• 1:37
  performing.
• 1:39
  Where
• 1:39
  did
• 1:39
  we
• 1:39
  get
• 1:40
  this
• 1:40
  vision
• 1:40
  of
• 1:40
  teaching
• 1:41
  from
• 1:41
  the
• 1:42
  movies?
• 1:43
  You
• 1:43
  know,
• 1:43
  school
• 1:43
  can
• 1:44
  be
• 1:44
  really
• 1:44
  disempowering,
• 1:45
  dragging
• 1:46
  learners
• 1:47
  through
• 1:47
  the
• 1:47
  content
• 1:48
  and
• 1:48
  teaching
• 1:48
  to
• 1:48
  the
• 1:49
  middle.
• 1:49
  I
• 1:50
  wanted
• 1:50
  to
• 1:50
  give
• 1:51
  the
• 1:51
  thinking
• 1:52
  back
• 1:52
  to
• 1:52
  them,
• 1:53
  to
• 1:53
  give
• 1:54
  them
• 1:54
  control.
• 1:55
  How
• 1:56
  do
• 1:56
  we
• 1:56
  prevent
• 1:57
  learning
• 1:57
  gaps
• 1:58
  from
• 1:58
  even
• 1:59
  forming
• 1:59
  in
• 2:00
  the
• 2:00
  first
• 2:00
  place?
• 2:01
  You
• 2:01
  know,
• 2:02
  together,
• 2:02
  let's
• 2:03
  cultivate
• 2:04
  hope
• 2:04
  for
• 2:05
  each
• 2:05
  and

  every
• 2:06
  student.

• 2:45
  in
• 2:45
  unison.
• 2:45
  Like
• 2:46
  I
• 2:46
  feel
• 2:46
  like
• 2:46
  a
• 2:46
  choir
• 2:47
  director
• 2:48
  when
• 2:48
  you
• 2:49
  do
• 2:49
  that,
• 2:49
  right.
• 2:49
  It's
• 2:50
  like
• 2:50
  wow,
• 2:51
  so
• 2:51
  beautiful.
• 2:52
  It's

• 2:53
  We

  So

  is
• 2:58
  episode

  five.
• 3:00
  In
• 3:00

  to

  that

  to

  every

  needs.

  And

  D.C.
• 4:41
  about
• 4:41
  10
• 4:41
  years
• 4:41
  ago.
• 4:42
  I
• 4:42
  was
• 4:42
  a
• 4:43
  high
• 4:43
  school
• 4:43
  math
• 4:44
  teacher
• 4:44
  and
• 4:44
  I
• 4:45
  found
• 4:45
  that
• 4:46
  when
• 4:46
  I
• 4:46
  taught
• 4:47
  the
• 4:47
  way
• 4:47
  I
• 4:47
  had
• 4:47
  been
• 4:47
  trained
• 4:48
  to
• 4:48
  teach,
• 4:49
  which
• 4:49
  was
• 4:50
  deliver
• 4:50
  one
• 4:50
  lesson
• 4:51
  to
• 4:51
  all
• 4:51
  of
• 4:51
  my
• 4:52
  students
• 4:52
  every
• 4:53
  day,
• 4:54
  it
• 4:54
  wasn't
• 4:54
  very
• 4:54
  effective.
• 4:55
  Some
• 4:56
  of
• 4:56
  my
• 4:56
  students
• 4:56
  were
• 4:56
  advanced.
• 4:57
  They
• 4:57
  already
• 4:57
  knew
• 4:58
  the
• 4:58
  content.
• 4:58
  They
• 4:58
  were
• 4:59
  bored.
• 4:59
  Some
• 4:59
  of
• 5:00
  my
• 5:00
  students
• 5:00
  were
• 5:01
  behind.
• 5:01
  They
• 5:01
  had
• 5:02
  gaps
• 5:02
  in
• 5:02
  their
• 5:02
  learning.
• 5:02
  They
• 5:03
  had,
• 5:03
  they
• 5:03
  lacked
• 5:04
  confidence
• 5:04
  in
• 5:05
  their
• 5:05
  own
• 5:05
  ability.
• 5:06
  They
• 5:06
  were
• 5:06
  usually
• 5:07
  lost
• 5:07
  or
• 5:07
  confused.
• 5:08
  And
• 5:08
  then
• 5:09
  some
• 5:09
  students
• 5:10
  were
• 5:10
  absent,
• 5:11
  chronically
• 5:11
  absent,
• 5:12
  and
• 5:12
  they
• 5:13
  missed
• 5:13
  out
• 5:13
  altogether.
• 5:14
  And
• 5:14
  I
• 5:14
  was
• 5:14
  sort
• 5:14
  of
• 5:14
  standing
• 5:15
  at
• 5:15
  the
• 5:15
  board
• 5:16
  trying
• 5:16
  to
• 5:16
  meet
• 5:17
  all
• 5:17
  of
• 5:17
  their
• 5:17
  needs
• 5:18
  and
• 5:18
  failing
• 5:18
  miserably.
• 5:19
  And
• 5:19
  I
• 5:19
  just
• 5:20
  realized
• 5:20
  I
• 5:21
  need
• 5:21
  to
• 5:21
  do
• 5:22
  something
• 5:22
  different.
• 5:23
  So
• 5:23
  over
• 5:24
  the
• 5:24
  course
• 5:24
  of,
• 5:24
  you
• 5:25
  know,
• 5:25
  months
• 5:25
  and
• 5:26
  really
• 5:26
  years,
• 5:27
  I
• 5:27
  found
• 5:28
  an
• 5:28
  approach
• 5:28
  that
• 5:28
  worked
• 5:29
  for
• 5:29
  me.
• 5:29
  Instead
• 5:30
  of
• 5:30
  standing
• 5:31
  and
• 5:31
  delivering
• 5:32
  direct
• 5:32
  instruction
• 5:33
  live,
• 5:33
  I
• 5:34
  made
• 5:34
  short
• 5:34
  instructional
• 5:35
  videos
• 5:36
  which
• 5:36
  explained
• 5:36
  my
• 5:37
  content.
• 5:38
  Students
• 5:38
  could
• 5:38
  watch
• 5:39
  those
• 5:39
  in
• 5:39
  class
• 5:39
  or
• 5:40
  at
• 5:40
  home.
• 5:40
  They
• 5:40
  could
• 5:40
  pause,
• 5:41
  they
• 5:41
  could
• 5:41
  rewatch,
• 5:42
  they
• 5:42
  could
• 5:42
  rewind.
• 5:43
  I
• 5:43
  spent
• 5:44
  my
• 5:44
  time
• 5:44
  in
• 5:44
  class,
• 5:45
  sitting
• 5:45
  down
• 5:45
  with
• 5:46
  my
• 5:46
  students,
• 5:46
  getting
• 5:47
  to
• 5:47
  know
• 5:47
  them,
• 5:47
  answering
• 5:48
  their
• 5:48
  questions,
• 5:49
  helping
• 5:49
  them
• 5:50
  learn.
• 5:50
  They
• 5:50
  were
• 5:51
  now
• 5:51
  free
• 5:51
  to
• 5:51
  work
• 5:51
  with
• 5:52
  each
• 5:52
  other
• 5:52
  a
• 5:52
  lot
• 5:53
  because
• 5:53
  I
• 5:53
  wasn't
• 5:53
  sort
• 5:54
  of
• 5:54
  at
• 5:54
  the
• 5:55
  board,
• 5:55
  policing
• 5:55
  their
• 5:56
  behavior,
• 5:56
  commanding
• 5:57
  their
• 5:57
  attention.
• 5:57
  They
• 5:58
  could
• 5:58
  move
• 5:58
  at
• 5:58
  their
• 5:58
  own
• 5:59
  paces.
• 6:00
  And
• 6:00
  most
• 6:00
  importantly,
• 6:01
  I
• 6:01
  could
• 6:01
  make
• 6:01
  sure
• 6:01
  they
• 6:01
  actually
• 6:02
  understood
• 6:03
  lesson
• 6:04
  one
• 6:04
  before
• 6:04
  moving
• 6:05
  to
• 6:05
  lesson
• 6:05
  two
• 6:05
  and
• 6:06
  lesson
• 6:06
  three.
• 6:06
  And
• 6:07
  so
• 6:07
  that
• 6:08
  prevented
• 6:08
  learning
• 6:09
  gaps
• 6:09
  from
• 6:09
  forming.
• 6:10
  And
• 6:10
  it
• 6:10
  also
• 6:10
  helped
• 6:10
  students,
• 6:11
  I
• 6:11
  think,
• 6:12
  develop
• 6:12
  some
• 6:12
  self
• 6:13
  confidence
• 6:13
  and
• 6:13
  self
• 6:13
  esteem.
• 6:14
  They
• 6:14
  saw
• 6:14
  that,
• 6:15
  okay,
• 6:15
  if
• 6:15
  I
• 6:15
  really
• 6:15
  Apply
• 6:16
  myself
• 6:16
  and
• 6:16
  I
• 6:16
  have
• 6:17
  support
• 6:17
  from
• 6:17
  Mr.
• 6:18
  Barnett.
• 6:18
  I
• 6:19
  can
• 6:19
  learn
• 6:19
  math
• 6:20
  and
• 6:20
  that
• 6:20
  was
• 6:20
  really
• 6:20
  powerful
• 6:21
  for
• 6:22
  a
• 6:22
  lot
• 6:23
  of
• 6:23
  them.
• 6:24
  This
• 6:24
  approach
• 6:25
  worked
• 6:25
  for
• 6:25
  me.
• 6:25
  I'd
• 6:26
  like
• 6:26
  to
• 6:26
  say
• 6:26
  that
• 6:26
  it
• 6:26
  transformed
• 6:27
  my
• 6:27
  classroom
• 6:28
  and
• 6:28
  it
• 6:28
  saved
• 6:28
  my
• 6:29
  career.
• 6:29
  I
• 6:30
  shared
• 6:30
  it
• 6:30
  with
• 6:30
  some
• 6:30
  other
• 6:31
  colleagues,
• 6:31
  including
• 6:32
  my
• 6:32
  math
• 6:33
  teaching
• 6:33
  colleague
• 6:34
  downstairs,
• 6:34
  Karim
• 6:35
  Farah,
• 6:35
  and
• 6:36
  it
• 6:36
  worked
• 6:36
  really
• 6:36
  well
• 6:37
  for
• 6:37
  him
• 6:38
  as
• 6:38
  well.
• 6:39
  He
• 6:39
  ended
• 6:39
  up
• 6:40
  being
• 6:40
  named
• 6:41
  the
• 6:41
  most
• 6:41
  innovative
• 6:42
  educator
• 6:42
  in
• 6:43
  D.C.
• 6:43
  public
• 6:43
  Schools.
• 6:44
  People
• 6:44
  started
• 6:45
  to
• 6:45
  pay
• 6:46
  attention
• 6:46
  to
• 6:46
  what
• 6:46
  we
• 6:47
  were
• 6:47
  doing.
• 6:47
  And
• 6:48
  so
• 6:48
  we
• 6:48
  said
• 6:49
  this
• 6:49
  was
• 6:49
  2018.
• 6:50
  We
• 6:50
  said,
• 6:51
  you
• 6:51
  know,
• 6:51
  we'd
• 6:52
  like
• 6:52
  to
• 6:52
  train
• 6:53
  eight
• 6:53
  of
• 6:53
  our
• 6:53
  colleagues
• 6:54
  here
• 6:54
  at
• 6:54
  Eastern
• 6:54
  High
• 6:55
  School.
• 6:55
  They
• 6:56
  don't
• 6:56
  have
• 6:56
  computers.
• 6:57
  Let's
• 6:57
  start
• 6:57
  a
• 6:57
  nonprofit,
• 6:58
  let's
• 6:58
  raise
• 6:59
  a
• 6:59
  little
• 6:59
  bit
• 6:59
  of
• 6:59
  money,
• 7:00
  let's
• 7:00
  buy
• 7:00
  computers
• 7:01
  for
• 7:01
  their
• 7:01
  students.
• 7:02
  So
• 7:02
  we
• 7:02
  raised
• 7:03
  money,
• 7:03
  we
• 7:03
  bought
• 7:03
  a
• 7:03
  bunch
• 7:04
  of
• 7:04
  Chromebooks,
• 7:04
  we
• 7:05
  trained
• 7:05
  these
• 7:05
  eight
• 7:05
  teachers.
• 7:06
  This
• 7:07
  approach
• 7:07
  worked
• 7:07
  really
• 7:08
  well
• 7:08
  for
• 7:08
  them.
• 7:09
  And
• 7:09
  so
• 7:09
  the
• 7:09
  next
• 7:09
  year,
• 7:10
  2019,
• 7:10
  we
• 7:11
  said,
• 7:11
  okay,
• 7:11
  let's
• 7:11
  train
• 7:12
  25
• 7:12
  teachers.
• 7:14
  That
• 7:14
  worked
• 7:15
  well.
• 7:15
  We
• 7:15
  were
• 7:15
  happy
• 7:16
  with
• 7:16
  the
• 7:16
  training.
• 7:16
  Teachers
• 7:17
  were
• 7:17
  happy
• 7:17
  with
• 7:17
  the
• 7:18
  results.
• 7:18
  They
• 7:18
  were
• 7:19
  English
• 7:19
  teachers,
• 7:20
  history
• 7:20
  teachers,
• 7:21
  social
• 7:21
  studies,
• 7:22
  science,
• 7:23
  middle
• 7:23
  school,
• 7:24
  high
• 7:24
  school.
• 7:25
  We
• 7:25
  said,
• 7:25
  this
• 7:26
  is
• 7:26
  pretty
• 7:26
  good
• 7:27
  training
• 7:27
  to
• 7:27
  help
• 7:27
  teachers
• 7:28
  teach
• 7:28
  this
• 7:28
  way
• 7:29
  with
• 7:29
  videos
• 7:30
  and
• 7:30
  self
• 7:30
  pacing
• 7:30
  and
• 7:31
  mastery
• 7:31
  based
• 7:31
  learning.
• 7:32
  Let's
• 7:33
  put
• 7:33
  this
• 7:33
  online.
• 7:34
  And
• 7:35
  then
• 7:35
  2020
• 7:35
  came
• 7:36
  and
• 7:36
  Covid
• 7:36
  came
• 7:37
  and
• 7:37
  teachers
• 7:38
  were
• 7:38
  hungry
• 7:39
  for
• 7:40
  techniques
• 7:40
  that
• 7:40
  would
• 7:41
  help
• 7:41
  them
• 7:41
  meet
• 7:42
  their
• 7:42
  learners
• 7:42
  needs
• 7:43
  in
• 7:43
  this
• 7:43
  strange
• 7:44
  new
• 7:45
  world
• 7:45
  of
• 7:45
  teaching.
• 7:46
  And
• 7:46
  even
• 7:46
  though
• 7:46
  this
• 7:46
  method
• 7:47
  had
• 7:47
  been
• 7:47
  developed
• 7:48
  before
• 7:48
  COVID
• 7:49
  it
• 7:50
  worked
• 7:50
  well
• 7:50
  for
• 7:51
  remote
• 7:52
  teaching
• 7:52
  and
• 7:52
  then
• 7:52
  it
• 7:53
  worked
• 7:53
  well
• 7:53
  for
• 7:53
  teachers
• 7:54
  when
• 7:54
  they
• 7:54
  came
• 7:54
  back
• 7:55
  to
• 7:55
  school
• 7:55
  also
• 7:55
  because
• 7:56
  it's
• 7:56
  really
• 7:56
  an
• 7:56
  approach
• 7:57
  that
• 7:57
  is
• 7:57
  about
• 7:59
  emphasizing
• 7:59
  human
• 8:00
  interaction
• 8:00
  and
• 8:01
  meeting
• 8:01
  every
• 8:01
  learner's
• 8:01
  needs.
• 8:02
  And
• 8:02
  so
• 8:03
  I'll
• 8:03
  spare
• 8:03
  some
• 8:04
  of
• 8:04
  the
• 8:04
  details,
• 8:05
  but
• 8:06
  fast
• 8:06
  forward
• 8:06
  to
• 8:06
  today.
• 8:08
  We've
• 8:08
  empowered
• 8:09
  about
• 8:09
  80,000
• 8:10
  teachers
• 8:10
  all
• 8:10
  over
• 8:11
  the
• 8:11
  world,
• 8:12
  K
• 8:13
  through
• 8:13
  12,
• 8:13
  all
• 8:13
  subject
• 8:14
  areas.
• 8:14
  And
• 8:15
  we
• 8:15
  help
• 8:15
  them
• 8:15
  teach
• 8:16
  in
• 8:16
  this
• 8:16
  way
• 8:16
  that
• 8:17
  I
• 8:17
  taught
• 8:18
  at
• 8:18
  Eastern
• 8:18
  High
• 8:18
  School
• 8:19
  because
• 8:19
  I
• 8:19
  think
• 8:20
  we've
• 8:20
  realized
• 8:20
  this
• 8:21
  challenge
• 8:21
  of
• 8:21
  teaching
• 8:22
  that
• 8:22
  different
• 8:23
  learners
• 8:23
  have
• 8:23
  different
• 8:23
  needs
• 8:24
  is
• 8:24
  really
• 8:24
  fundamental.
• 8:25
  And
• 8:25
  teachers
• 8:26
  are
• 8:26
  hungry
• 8:27
  for
• 8:27
  strategies
• 8:28
  that
• 8:28
  actually
• 8:28
  work
• 8:29
  to
• 8:29
  help
• 8:30
  them
• 8:30
  address
• 8:31
  the
• 8:31
  wide
• 8:32
  range
• 8:32
  of
• 8:32
  needs
• 8:32
  that
• 8:32
  exist
• 8:33
  within
• 8:33
  a
• 8:33
  single
• 8:34
  classroom.
• 8:36
  My
• 8:36
  friend
• 8:36
  Diane,
• 8:37
  who
• 8:38
  came
• 8:38
  across
• 8:39
  that
• 8:39
  work
• 8:40
  and
• 8:41
  has
• 8:41
  now
• 8:42
  been
• 8:42
  trained
• 8:42
  by
• 8:42
  them
• 8:42
  and
• 8:43
  is
• 8:43
  doing
• 8:43
  the
• 8:43
  work,
• 8:44
  her
• 8:45
  first
• 8:45
  comment
• 8:45
  to
• 8:46
  me
• 8:46
  when
• 8:46
  she
• 8:47
  started
• 8:47
  it
• 8:47
  was,
• 8:48
  I
• 8:49
  spend
• 8:49
  my
• 8:50
  class
• 8:51
  time
• 8:51
  doing
• 8:52
  exactly
• 8:52
  what
• 8:52
  Rob
• 8:53
  said.
• 8:53
  I
• 8:53
  get
• 8:54
  to
• 8:54
  spend
• 8:54
  my
• 8:54
  entire
• 8:55
  class
• 8:55
  time
• 8:56
  interacting
• 8:57
  with
• 8:58
  students
• 8:59
  one
• 8:59
  on
• 8:59
  one
• 8:59
  in
• 9:00
  small
• 9:00
  group.
• 9:01
  I
• 9:02
  don't
• 9:02
  spend
• 9:02
  my
• 9:03
  time
• 9:03
  policing
• 9:04
  behavior.
• 9:06
  We
• 9:07
  get
• 9:07
  to
• 9:07
  actually
• 9:07
  talk
• 9:08
  about
• 9:11
  themselves.
• 9:12
  We
• 9:12
  get
• 9:12
  to
• 9:12
  talk
• 9:12
  about
• 9:12
  them
• 9:13
  as
• 9:13
  humans,
• 9:13
  we
• 9:14
  get
• 9:14
  to
• 9:14
  talk
• 9:14
  about
• 9:14
  them
• 9:14
  as
• 9:15
  learners.
• 9:15
  She
• 9:15
  was
• 9:15
  absolutely
• 9:16
  Stunned
• 9:17
  at
• 9:18
  how
• 9:18
  it
• 9:19
  really
• 9:19
  changes
• 9:20
  how
• 9:20
  she
• 9:20
  uses
• 9:21
  the
• 9:21
  space.
• 9:21
  And
• 9:22
  Rob
• 9:22
  talked
• 9:23
  about
• 9:23
  that.
• 9:23
  But
• 9:24
  here's
• 9:25
  another
• 9:25
  end
• 9:25
  user
• 9:26
  who
• 9:26
  wasn't
• 9:27
  the
• 9:27
  co
• 9:27
  founder
• 9:28
  who
• 9:28
  was
• 9:28
  like,
• 9:28
  oh
• 9:29
  my
• 9:29
  gosh,
• 9:29
  everything
• 9:30
  they
• 9:30
  say
• 9:30
  is
• 9:31
  true.
• 9:33
  Well,
• 9:33
  I'm
• 9:33
  happy
• 9:33
  to
• 9:34
  hear
• 9:34
  that.
• 9:35
  It
• 9:35
  sounds
• 9:36
  nice
• 9:36
  when
• 9:37
  I
• 9:37
  talk
• 9:37
  about
• 9:37
  it,
• 9:37
  but
• 9:38
  what's
• 9:39
  really
• 9:39
  powerful
• 9:40
  about
• 9:40
  it
• 9:40
  is
• 9:40
  teachers
• 9:41
  can
• 9:41
  actually
• 9:41
  use
• 9:41
  this
• 9:42
  in
• 9:42
  their
• 9:42
  classroom.
• 9:42
  And
• 9:43
  I'm
• 9:43
  glad
• 9:43
  you've
• 9:44
  met
• 9:44
  one.
• 9:44
  And
• 9:44
  if
• 9:45
  you're
• 9:45
  listening
• 9:45
  here
• 9:45
  and
• 9:46
  you're
• 9:46
  sort
• 9:46
  of
• 9:47
  skeptical
• 9:47
  of
• 9:47
  the
• 9:47
  big
• 9:48
  things
• 9:48
  I'm
• 9:48
  saying,
• 9:49
  you
• 9:49
  know,
• 9:49
  and
• 9:49
  you're
• 9:49
  on
• 9:49
  Facebook,
• 9:50
  for
• 9:50
  instance,
• 9:50
  I
• 9:51
  encourage
• 9:51
  you.
• 9:51
  We
• 9:51
  have
• 9:51
  a
• 9:52
  modern
• 9:52
  classroom
• 9:53
  Facebook
• 9:53
  group
• 9:53
  with
• 9:54
  teachers
• 9:54
  all
• 9:54
  over
• 9:54
  the
• 9:54
  world,
• 9:55
  and
• 9:55
  they're
• 9:55
  sharing
• 9:55
  their
• 9:55
  stories.
• 9:56
  And
• 9:56
  honestly,
• 9:57
  they're
• 9:57
  sharing
• 9:57
  their
• 9:57
  struggles
• 9:58
  too,
• 9:58
  because
• 9:58
  no
• 9:59
  method
• 9:59
  of
• 10:00
  teaching
• 10:00
  is
• 10:01
  perfect.
• 10:02
  There's
• 10:02
  challenges,
• 10:03
  there's
• 10:04
  just
• 10:04
  always
• 10:04
  challenges.
• 10:05
  But,
• 10:05
  you
• 10:06
  know,
• 10:06
  there
• 10:06
  are
• 10:06
  a
• 10:06
  lot
• 10:06
  of
• 10:06
  teachers
• 10:07
  who
• 10:07
  have
• 10:07
  taken
• 10:08
  this
• 10:08
  and
• 10:09
  who
• 10:09
  have,
• 10:09
  who
• 10:10
  have.
• 10:10
  Who
• 10:10
  have
• 10:10
  really
• 10:10
  made
• 10:11
  it
• 10:11
  work.
• 10:11
  And
• 10:11
  in
• 10:11
  the
• 10:12
  resources
• 10:12
  that
• 10:12
  we
• 10:12
  share,
• 10:13
  we're
• 10:13
  always
• 10:13
  trying
• 10:13
  to
• 10:13
  highlight
• 10:14
  those
• 10:14
  teachers
• 10:14
  stories
• 10:15
  too.
• 10:15
  Because
• 10:16
  I
• 10:16
  was
• 10:16
  a
• 10:16
  high
• 10:16
  school
• 10:17
  math
• 10:17
  teacher
• 10:17
  at
• 10:17
  a
• 10:17
  particular
• 10:18
  school.
• 10:18
  It
• 10:18
  worked
• 10:19
  for
• 10:19
  me.
• 10:19
  But
• 10:19
  we
• 10:20
  want
• 10:20
  to
• 10:20
  show
• 10:20
  this
• 10:21
  can
• 10:21
  work
• 10:21
  for
• 10:21
  other
• 10:21
  teachers
• 10:22
  in
• 10:22
  other
• 10:22
  places.
• 10:23
  As
• 10:23
  to
• 10:24
  what
• 10:24
  this
• 10:24
  teacher
• 10:24
  said,
• 10:25
  I
• 10:25
  think
• 10:25
  that's
• 10:25
  exactly
• 10:26
  right.
• 10:26
  You
• 10:26
  know,
• 10:26
  we
• 10:26
  become
• 10:27
  teachers
• 10:28
  not
• 10:28
  because
• 10:28
  we
• 10:28
  want
• 10:28
  to
• 10:29
  stand
• 10:29
  at
• 10:29
  the
• 10:29
  room
• 10:29
  and
• 10:30
  command
• 10:31
  attention.
• 10:32
  We
• 10:32
  become
• 10:32
  teachers
• 10:33
  because
• 10:33
  we
• 10:33
  want
• 10:33
  to
• 10:33
  develop
• 10:34
  relationships
• 10:34
  with
• 10:34
  young
• 10:35
  people
• 10:35
  and
• 10:35
  motivate
• 10:36
  young
• 10:36
  people
• 10:36
  and
• 10:36
  get
• 10:37
  to
• 10:37
  know
• 10:37
  them
• 10:37
  and
• 10:37
  inspire
• 10:38
  them.
• 10:38
  And
• 10:39
  that's
• 10:39
  hard
• 10:40
  to
• 10:40
  do
• 10:40
  when
• 10:40
  you're
• 10:40
  trying
• 10:41
  to
• 10:41
  drag
• 10:41
  learners
• 10:42
  at
• 10:43
  different
• 10:43
  levels
• 10:44
  through
• 10:44
  content
• 10:45
  and
• 10:45
  sort
• 10:45
  of
• 10:45
  teaching
• 10:45
  to
• 10:46
  the
• 10:46
  middle.
• 10:46
  Like,
• 10:47
  you
• 10:47
  don't
• 10:47
  have
• 10:47
  the
• 10:47
  time
• 10:48
  or
• 10:48
  space
• 10:48
  to
• 10:48
  build
• 10:49
  those
• 10:49
  relationships.
• 10:50
  I
• 10:51
  felt
• 10:51
  like,
• 10:52
  you
• 10:52
  know,
• 10:52
  once
• 10:52
  I
• 10:52
  got
• 10:53
  this
• 10:53
  model
• 10:54
  really
• 10:54
  working
• 10:54
  for
• 10:54
  me,
• 10:55
  I
• 10:55
  wasn't
• 10:56
  going
• 10:56
  in
• 10:56
  and
• 10:56
  having
• 10:56
  to
• 10:57
  put
• 10:57
  on
• 10:57
  this
• 10:57
  performance
• 10:58
  and
• 10:59
  leaving
• 10:59
  exhausted
• 11:00
  at
• 11:00
  the
• 11:00
  end
• 11:00
  of
• 11:00
  every
• 11:01
  day.
• 11:01
  I
• 11:01
  felt
• 11:02
  like
• 11:02
  my
• 11:02
  job
• 11:02
  is
• 11:02
  to
• 11:03
  show
• 11:03
  up,
• 11:03
  help
• 11:04
  my
• 11:04
  students
• 11:04
  learn.
• 11:05
  And
• 11:05
  I
• 11:05
  felt
• 11:06
  invigorated
• 11:06
  by
• 11:06
  that
• 11:07
  because
• 11:07
  I
• 11:07
  was
• 11:07
  sitting
• 11:07
  down
• 11:07
  with
• 11:08
  my
• 11:08
  students
• 11:08
  and
• 11:08
  watching
• 11:09
  them
• 11:09
  learn.
• 11:09
  And
• 11:09
  it,
• 11:10
  when
• 11:10
  I
• 11:10
  say
• 11:10
  it
• 11:11
  saved
• 11:11
  my
• 11:11
  career.
• 11:13
  That's
• 11:13
  why,
• 11:13
  I
• 11:13
  mean,
• 11:14
  I
• 11:14
  started
• 11:14
  to
• 11:14
  really
• 11:15
  enjoy
• 11:15
  teaching.
• 11:16
  And
• 11:16
  I
• 11:16
  think
• 11:17
  my
• 11:17
  students
• 11:17
  started
• 11:17
  to
• 11:17
  enjoy
• 11:18
  learning
• 11:18
  too,
• 11:18
  because
• 11:19
  they
• 11:19
  felt
• 11:19
  like
• 11:19
  when
• 11:19
  I
• 11:19
  come
• 11:20
  here,
• 11:20
  I
• 11:21
  can
• 11:21
  work
• 11:21
  on
• 11:21
  something
• 11:21
  that's
• 11:22
  appropriately
• 11:22
  challenging
• 11:23
  for
• 11:23
  me
• 11:23
  at
• 11:23
  my
• 11:23
  own
• 11:24
  pace.
• 11:24
  I
• 11:24
  can
• 11:24
  get
• 11:24
  the
• 11:24
  teacher's
• 11:25
  support,
• 11:25
  I
• 11:25
  can
• 11:26
  work
• 11:26
  with
• 11:26
  my
• 11:26
  friends.
• 11:27
  It's
• 11:27
  not
• 11:27
  like
• 11:28
  I've
• 11:28
  got
• 11:28
  to
• 11:28
  sit
• 11:28
  there
• 11:28
  and
• 11:29
  try
• 11:29
  to
• 11:29
  follow
• 11:30
  along
• 11:30
  with
• 11:30
  something
• 11:30
  that
• 11:31
  isn't
• 11:31
  right
• 11:31
  for
• 11:31
  me
• 11:32
  while
• 11:32
  the
• 11:32
  teacher
• 11:33
  gets
• 11:33
  mad
• 11:33
  at
• 11:33
  me
• 11:33
  for
• 11:34
  getting
• 11:35
  distracted.
• 11:36
  So,
• 11:37
  yeah,
• 11:37
  I'm
• 11:37
  really
• 11:38
  glad
• 11:38
  to
• 11:38
  hear
• 11:38
  that,
• 11:38
  you
• 11:39
  know,
• 11:39
  someone
• 11:39
  who's
• 11:39
  had
• 11:39
  the
• 11:40
  same
• 11:40
  experience.
• 11:42
  One
• 11:42
  of
• 11:42
  the
• 11:42
  things
• 11:43
  that
• 11:43
  you
• 11:43
  said,
• 11:43
  Rob,
• 11:44
  at
• 11:45
  the
• 11:45
  beginning
• 11:46
  of
• 11:46
  this,
• 11:46
  you
• 11:47
  know,
• 11:47
  this
• 11:48
  journey
• 11:48
  is
• 11:49
  about
• 11:49
  empowerment.
• 11:50
  You
• 11:50
  know,
• 11:50
  we've
• 11:51
  really
• 11:51
  been
• 11:51
  using
• 11:51
  and
• 11:52
  lifting
• 11:52
  that
• 11:52
  word
• 11:52
  up
• 11:53
  when
• 11:53
  thinking
• 11:53
  about
• 11:54
  empowering
• 11:54
  educators
• 11:55
  and
• 11:56
  really
• 11:56
  empowering
• 11:57
  students.
• 11:58
  And
• 11:58
  so
• 11:58
  this
• 11:59
  humanizing
• 12:00
  approach
• 12:01
  to
• 12:01
  education
• 12:02
  is
• 12:03
  really
• 12:03
  where
• 12:04
  our
• 12:04
  paths
• 12:05
  have
• 12:05
  just
• 12:05
  linked
• 12:06
  up,
• 12:06
  haven't
• 12:06
  they?
• 12:07
  They
• 12:08
  so
• 12:08
  beautifully
• 12:08
  with,
• 12:09
  with
• 12:09
  the
• 12:09
  work
• 12:09
  and
• 12:10
  the
• 12:10
  conversations
• 12:11
  that
• 12:11
  we've
• 12:11
  been
• 12:11
  having
• 12:12
  with
• 12:12
  so
• 12:12
  many.
• 12:13
  Can
• 12:13
  you
• 12:13
  talk
• 12:13
  a
• 12:13
  little
• 12:14
  bit
• 12:14
  more
• 12:14
  about
• 12:15
  that
• 12:16
  student
• 12:17
  perspective
• 12:17
  and
• 12:18
  that
• 12:18
  sense
• 12:19
  of
• 12:19
  empowerment
• 12:20
  and
• 12:21
  that
• 12:21
  you.
• 12:22
  Cause
• 12:22
  you
• 12:22
  also
• 12:23
  mentioned
• 12:24
  this,
• 12:24
  you
• 12:24
  know,
• 12:25
  chronic
• 12:25
  absenteeism.
• 12:26
  That's
• 12:26
  a.
• 12:27
  That
• 12:27
  is
• 12:27
  a
• 12:27
  huge
• 12:28
  struggle
• 12:28
  across
• 12:29
  the
• 12:29
  nation.
• 12:29
  We
• 12:29
  all
• 12:30
  know
• 12:30
  that.
• 12:31
  How
• 12:31
  did
• 12:31
  that
• 12:32
  change?
• 12:33
  Did
• 12:33
  it
• 12:33
  change?
• 12:34
  How
• 12:34
  did
• 12:34
  the
• 12:34
  student
• 12:35
  perspective
• 12:36
  change
• 12:36
  through
• 12:36
  this
• 12:37
  sense
• 12:37
  of
• 12:37
  empowerment
• 12:38
  that
• 12:38
  you
• 12:38
  talked
• 12:38
  about?
• 12:40
  Great
• 12:40
  question.
• 12:41
  I
• 12:41
  think
• 12:41
  if
• 12:41
  we
• 12:42
  think
• 12:42
  about
• 12:42
  school
• 12:43
  from
• 12:43
  a
• 12:43
  lot
• 12:43
  of
• 12:44
  learners
• 12:45
  perspectives,
• 12:46
  school
• 12:46
  can
• 12:46
  be
• 12:46
  really
• 12:47
  disempowering.
• 12:48
  So
• 12:49
  say
• 12:49
  you're
• 12:49
  an
• 12:49
  advanced
• 12:50
  student
• 12:50
  and
• 12:51
  you
• 12:51
  really
• 12:51
  want
• 12:51
  to.
• 12:52
  You
• 12:52
  love
• 12:53
  math
• 12:53
  and
• 12:53
  you
• 12:53
  just
• 12:54
  really
• 12:54
  want
• 12:54
  to
• 12:54
  learn
• 12:54
  it.
• 12:55
  And
• 12:55
  you
• 12:55
  go
• 12:55
  to
• 12:56
  class
• 12:56
  and
• 12:56
  your
• 12:57
  teacher
• 12:57
  is
• 12:57
  teaching
• 12:58
  to
• 12:58
  the
• 12:58
  middle.
• 12:59
  You're
• 12:59
  not
• 12:59
  challenged,
• 13:00
  you're
• 13:00
  not
• 13:00
  growing.
• 13:01
  You
• 13:01
  can't
• 13:02
  learn
• 13:02
  things
• 13:02
  that
• 13:02
  you
• 13:02
  already
• 13:03
  know.
• 13:03
  Like
• 13:04
  that
• 13:04
  is
• 13:05
  disempowering.
• 13:06
  Or
• 13:07
  say
• 13:07
  that
• 13:07
  you're
• 13:07
  in
• 13:07
  the
• 13:08
  majority
• 13:08
  of
• 13:08
  American
• 13:09
  students
• 13:09
  who
• 13:09
  are
• 13:10
  below
• 13:11
  grade
• 13:11
  level
• 13:11
  in
• 13:11
  math.
• 13:12
  We
• 13:12
  know
• 13:12
  this
• 13:12
  from
• 13:13
  decades
• 13:13
  of
• 13:13
  testing.
• 13:14
  You
• 13:15
  don't
• 13:15
  have
• 13:15
  fourth
• 13:16
  and
• 13:16
  fifth
• 13:16
  and
• 13:16
  sixth
• 13:16
  and
• 13:17
  seventh
• 13:17
  grade
• 13:17
  skills.
• 13:18
  You
• 13:18
  show
• 13:18
  up
• 13:19
  at
• 13:19
  eighth
• 13:19
  grade,
• 13:20
  you're
• 13:20
  trying
• 13:20
  to
• 13:20
  learn
• 13:21
  eighth
• 13:21
  grade
• 13:21
  content.
• 13:22
  You're
• 13:22
  not
• 13:22
  prepared
• 13:23
  to
• 13:23
  do
• 13:23
  it
• 13:24
  through
• 13:24
  no
• 13:24
  fault
• 13:24
  of
• 13:25
  your
• 13:25
  own
• 13:25
  as
• 13:25
  a
• 13:25
  student.
• 13:26
  You
• 13:26
  just
• 13:26
  like
• 13:27
  the
• 13:27
  school
• 13:27
  system
• 13:28
  knows
• 13:28
  you're
• 13:28
  not
• 13:28
  prepared
• 13:29
  and
• 13:29
  we
• 13:29
  advance
• 13:29
  you
• 13:30
  to
• 13:30
  eighth
• 13:30
  grade
• 13:30
  anyways.
• 13:31
  And
• 13:31
  how
• 13:32
  are
• 13:32
  you
• 13:32
  going
• 13:32
  to
• 13:32
  feel
• 13:33
  sitting
• 13:33
  in
• 13:33
  a
• 13:34
  class
• 13:34
  every
• 13:35
  day
• 13:35
  where
• 13:36
  the
• 13:36
  content
• 13:36
  is
• 13:37
  over
• 13:37
  your
• 13:37
  head
• 13:37
  because
• 13:37
  you're
• 13:37
  not
• 13:38
  prepared
• 13:38
  to
• 13:38
  understand
• 13:39
  it?
• 13:39
  You
• 13:39
  know,
• 13:40
  people
• 13:40
  say
• 13:40
  they're
• 13:41
  not
• 13:41
  a
• 13:41
  math
• 13:41
  person
• 13:41
  or
• 13:42
  they
• 13:42
  don't
• 13:42
  like
• 13:43
  math.
• 13:43
  And
• 13:44
  I
• 13:44
  hate
• 13:44
  to
• 13:44
  hear
• 13:45
  that.
• 13:45
  When
• 13:45
  I
• 13:45
  hear
• 13:45
  that,
• 13:46
  I
• 13:46
  think
• 13:46
  this
• 13:46
  is
• 13:46
  a
• 13:46
  young
• 13:46
  person
• 13:47
  who's
• 13:47
  given
• 13:47
  up
• 13:47
  on
• 13:48
  themselves,
• 13:48
  who
• 13:49
  considers
• 13:49
  themselves
• 13:49
  inadequate.
• 13:51
  But
• 13:51
  it's
• 13:51
  perfectly
• 13:52
  logical
• 13:52
  why
• 13:52
  they
• 13:52
  would
• 13:53
  feel
• 13:53
  that
• 13:53
  way,
• 13:53
  right?
• 13:54
  They've
• 13:54
  just
• 13:54
  been
• 13:55
  pushed
• 13:55
  through
• 13:56
  content
• 13:56
  they
• 13:57
  can't
• 13:57
  understand.
• 13:58
  And
• 13:58
  I
• 13:58
  think
• 13:58
  that's
• 13:59
  really
• 13:59
  horrible
• 14:00
  experience
• 14:01
  for
• 14:01
  young
• 14:01
  people.
• 14:02
  And
• 14:02
  if
• 14:02
  you're
• 14:03
  absent,
• 14:03
  it's
• 14:03
  even
• 14:04
  worse,
• 14:04
  right?
• 14:04
  Think
• 14:05
  about
• 14:05
  missing
• 14:06
  Monday
• 14:06
  and
• 14:06
  Tuesday
• 14:07
  and
• 14:07
  you
• 14:07
  come
• 14:08
  back
• 14:08
  for
• 14:08
  class
• 14:08
  on
• 14:09
  Wednesday,
• 14:10
  you
• 14:10
  shouldn't
• 14:10
  understand
• 14:11
  class
• 14:11
  on
• 14:12
  Wednesday,
• 14:12
  right?
• 14:13
  If
• 14:13
  Monday
• 14:13
  and
• 14:13
  Tuesday
• 14:14
  had
• 14:14
  any
• 14:14
  value,
• 14:15
  which
• 14:15
  they
• 14:16
  should
• 14:16
  have.
• 14:16
  You
• 14:16
  shouldn't
• 14:17
  understand
• 14:17
  class
• 14:17
  on
• 14:17
  Wednesday,
• 14:18
  but
• 14:18
  if
• 14:18
  you
• 14:18
  come
• 14:18
  back
• 14:19
  in
• 14:19
  and
• 14:19
  you're
• 14:19
  expected
• 14:20
  to
• 14:20
  follow
• 14:20
  Wednesday's
• 14:21
  lesson
• 14:22
  like
• 14:22
  you're
• 14:22
  going
• 14:23
  to
• 14:23
  be
• 14:23
  lost.
• 14:24
  It's
• 14:24
  totally
• 14:24
  disempowering.
• 14:25
  And
• 14:26
  oftentimes
• 14:26
  those
• 14:27
  students
• 14:27
  who
• 14:27
  are
• 14:28
  chronically
• 14:28
  absent,
• 14:28
  they
• 14:29
  need
• 14:29
  the
• 14:29
  most
• 14:29
  support
• 14:30
  because
• 14:31
  they
• 14:31
  have
• 14:31
  things
• 14:31
  going
• 14:32
  on
• 14:32
  in
• 14:32
  their
• 14:32
  lives
• 14:32
  that
• 14:33
  make
• 14:33
  school
• 14:33
  difficult,
• 14:34
  but
• 14:34
  they
• 14:34
  receive
• 14:35
  the
• 14:35
  least
• 14:35
  because
• 14:36
  they're
• 14:36
  in
• 14:36
  school
• 14:37
  for
• 14:37
  the,
• 14:37
  for
• 14:37
  the
• 14:37
  least
• 14:38
  amount
• 14:38
  of
• 14:38
  time.
• 14:38
  And,
• 14:39
  you
• 14:39
  know,
• 14:40
  what's
• 14:40
  a
• 14:40
  teacher
• 14:40
  to
• 14:41
  do?
• 14:41
  I
• 14:41
  was
• 14:42
  told,
• 14:42
  well,
• 14:42
  see
• 14:42
  if
• 14:42
  you
• 14:42
  can
• 14:43
  stay
• 14:43
  after
• 14:43
  school
• 14:44
  for
• 14:44
  those
• 14:44
  students.
• 14:45
  But
• 14:45
  I
• 14:46
  can't
• 14:46
  stay
• 14:46
  after
• 14:47
  school.
• 14:47
  I
• 14:47
  have
• 14:47
  a
• 14:47
  life.
• 14:47
  And
• 14:48
  those
• 14:48
  students
• 14:48
  can't
• 14:49
  stay
• 14:49
  after
• 14:49
  school
• 14:49
  too.
• 14:49
  They
• 14:50
  have
• 14:50
  a
• 14:50
  life,
• 14:50
  you
• 14:51
  know,
• 14:51
  which
• 14:51
  is
• 14:51
  preventing
• 14:52
  them
• 14:52
  from
• 14:52
  coming
• 14:52
  to
• 14:52
  school
• 14:52
  in
• 14:52
  the
• 14:53
  first
• 14:53
  place
• 14:53
  for.
• 14:53
  For
• 14:54
  whatever
• 14:54
  reason,
• 14:55
  for
• 14:55
  whatever's
• 14:55
  going
• 14:56
  on.
• 14:56
  So
• 14:56
  you
• 14:56
  just
• 14:56
  look
• 14:57
  at
• 14:57
  all
• 14:57
  the
• 14:57
  students
• 14:58
  in
• 14:58
  one
• 14:59
  classroom
• 14:59
  and
• 14:59
  you
• 15:00
  think
• 15:01
  this
• 15:01
  is
• 15:01
  not
• 15:02
  meeting
• 15:02
  their
• 15:02
  needs.
• 15:03
  That's
• 15:04
  really
• 15:04
  disempowering.
• 15:06
  What
• 15:06
  I
• 15:06
  tried
• 15:06
  to
• 15:07
  do
• 15:07
  with
• 15:07
  my
• 15:07
  classroom
• 15:08
  and
• 15:08
  what
• 15:08
  we
• 15:08
  help
• 15:09
  teachers
• 15:09
  try
• 15:09
  to
• 15:09
  do
• 15:10
  is
• 15:10
  create
• 15:11
  classrooms
• 15:11
  where
• 15:11
  every
• 15:12
  student
• 15:12
  is
• 15:12
  appropriately
• 15:13
  challenged
• 15:14
  and
• 15:14
  appropriately
• 15:15
  supported
• 15:16
  every
• 15:16
  day.
• 15:16
  So
• 15:17
  if
• 15:17
  you're
• 15:17
  that
• 15:17
  advanced
• 15:18
  student,
• 15:18
  you
• 15:19
  don't
• 15:19
  have
• 15:19
  to
• 15:19
  wait
• 15:19
  for
• 15:19
  the
• 15:20
  rest
• 15:20
  of
• 15:20
  your
• 15:20
  class.
• 15:21
  You
• 15:21
  can
• 15:22
  watch
• 15:22
  videos
• 15:23
  and
• 15:23
  advance
• 15:23
  through
• 15:23
  lessons
• 15:24
  and
• 15:24
  show
• 15:24
  mastery
• 15:25
  as
• 15:26
  fast
• 15:26
  as
• 15:26
  you
• 15:26
  want.
• 15:27
  There's
• 15:27
  always
• 15:27
  something
• 15:28
  new
• 15:28
  for
• 15:28
  you
• 15:28
  to
• 15:28
  do
• 15:28
  next.
• 15:29
  If
• 15:29
  you're
• 15:30
  a
• 15:30
  student
• 15:30
  who
• 15:31
  has
• 15:31
  gaps
• 15:31
  in
• 15:31
  your
• 15:32
  learning
• 15:32
  or
• 15:32
  lacks
• 15:32
  self
• 15:33
  confidence,
• 15:34
  you
• 15:34
  have
• 15:34
  the
• 15:34
  time
• 15:35
  you
• 15:35
  need,
• 15:35
  right?
• 15:36
  I
• 15:36
  think
• 15:36
  every
• 15:37
  student's
• 15:37
  perfectly
• 15:38
  capable
• 15:38
  of
• 15:39
  learning
• 15:39
  math
• 15:39
  at
• 15:40
  grade
• 15:40
  level,
• 15:41
  but
• 15:41
  students
• 15:41
  may
• 15:41
  need
• 15:42
  a
• 15:42
  little
• 15:42
  more
• 15:42
  time,
• 15:42
  a
• 15:43
  little
• 15:43
  more
• 15:43
  support,
• 15:43
  a
• 15:43
  little
• 15:44
  bit
• 15:44
  of
• 15:44
  remediation
• 15:45
  to
• 15:45
  get
• 15:45
  there.
• 15:45
  And
• 15:46
  it's
• 15:46
  true,
• 15:46
  not
• 15:46
  just
• 15:46
  for
• 15:47
  math,
• 15:47
  but
• 15:47
  every
• 15:47
  subject,
• 15:48
  by
• 15:48
  the
• 15:48
  way.
• 15:49
  And
• 15:49
  so
• 15:49
  give
• 15:50
  those
• 15:50
  students
• 15:50
  the
• 15:51
  time
• 15:51
  they
• 15:51
  need.
• 15:51
  And
• 15:52
  when
• 15:52
  they
• 15:52
  see
• 15:52
  that
• 15:53
  they
• 15:53
  actually
• 15:53
  can
• 15:54
  achieve
• 15:54
  mastery,
• 15:55
  that's
• 15:56
  really
• 15:56
  powerful,
• 15:57
  right?
• 15:57
  Because
• 15:57
  then
• 15:57
  they
• 15:57
  start
• 15:58
  to
• 15:58
  feel
• 15:58
  like,
• 15:59
  okay,
• 15:59
  the
• 15:59
  problem's
• 16:00
  not
• 16:00
  with
• 16:00
  me.
• 16:00
  I'm
• 16:01
  not
• 16:01
  inadequate.
• 16:01
  I
• 16:02
  can
• 16:02
  understand
• 16:02
  math.
• 16:03
  I
• 16:03
  just
• 16:03
  need
• 16:03
  a
• 16:03
  little
• 16:03
  extra
• 16:04
  time.
• 16:04
  I
• 16:04
  need
• 16:04
  a
• 16:05
  little
• 16:05
  extra
• 16:05
  support.
• 16:06
  And
• 16:06
  once
• 16:07
  they
• 16:07
  have
• 16:07
  that,
• 16:07
  they
• 16:08
  can
• 16:08
  excel
• 16:08
  too.
• 16:09
  And
• 16:09
  then
• 16:09
  that
• 16:10
  absent
• 16:10
  student
• 16:10
  who
• 16:10
  missed
• 16:11
  class
• 16:11
  Monday
• 16:11
  and
• 16:11
  Tuesday,
• 16:12
  they
• 16:13
  should
• 16:13
  be
• 16:13
  able
• 16:13
  to
• 16:13
  come
• 16:14
  in
• 16:14
  on
• 16:14
  Wednesday
• 16:14
  and
• 16:14
  pick
• 16:15
  up
• 16:15
  where
• 16:15
  they
• 16:15
  left
• 16:15
  off,
• 16:16
  right?
• 16:16
  They
• 16:16
  should
• 16:17
  be
• 16:17
  able
• 16:17
  to
• 16:17
  start
• 16:17
  on
• 16:17
  Monday's
• 16:18
  lesson
• 16:18
  because
• 16:19
  if
• 16:19
  not,
• 16:19
  they're
• 16:20
  just
• 16:20
  going
• 16:20
  to
• 16:20
  be
• 16:20
  hopelessly
• 16:21
  lost.
• 16:21
  And
• 16:22
  a
• 16:22
  nice
• 16:22
  benefit
• 16:23
  by
• 16:23
  the
• 16:23
  way
• 16:23
  of
• 16:24
  putting
• 16:24
  your
• 16:24
  instruction
• 16:25
  digitally
• 16:25
  is
• 16:26
  students
• 16:26
  can
• 16:26
  catch
• 16:27
  up
• 16:27
  outside
• 16:27
  of
• 16:27
  class
• 16:28
  too.
• 16:28
  I'm
• 16:29
  not
• 16:29
  expecting
• 16:29
  that
• 16:29
  every
• 16:30
  student
• 16:30
  will.
• 16:31
  Right.
• 16:31
  Students
• 16:31
  may
• 16:32
  struggle
• 16:33
  with
• 16:33
  access
• 16:33
  to
• 16:33
  the
• 16:34
  Internet
• 16:34
  or
• 16:34
  they
• 16:34
  may
• 16:34
  have
• 16:35
  other
• 16:35
  things
• 16:35
  going
• 16:35
  on.
• 16:36
  But
• 16:36
  that
• 16:36
  student
• 16:37
  who
• 16:37
  missed
• 16:37
  Monday
• 16:37
  and
• 16:37
  Tuesday,
• 16:38
  they
• 16:38
  can
• 16:39
  come
• 16:39
  in
• 16:39
  on
• 16:39
  Wednesday,
• 16:39
  they
• 16:40
  can
• 16:40
  start
• 16:40
  with
• 16:40
  Monday's
• 16:40
  lesson,
• 16:41
  and
• 16:41
  then
• 16:41
  maybe
• 16:41
  they
• 16:41
  can
• 16:42
  catch
• 16:42
  up
• 16:42
  at
• 16:42
  home.
• 16:43
  Their
• 16:44
  parent
• 16:44
  or
• 16:44
  their
• 16:44
  guardian
• 16:45
  or
• 16:45
  their
• 16:45
  older
• 16:45
  sibling
• 16:46
  can
• 16:46
  watch
• 16:46
  the
• 16:46
  video
• 16:47
  and
• 16:47
  learn
• 16:48
  and
• 16:48
  support
• 16:48
  them.
• 16:49
  So
• 16:49
  I
• 16:50
  think
• 16:50
  when
• 16:50
  students
• 16:50
  come
• 16:50
  into
• 16:51
  class,
• 16:51
  they're
• 16:51
  appropriately
• 16:52
  challenged.
• 16:52
  Not
• 16:53
  only
• 16:53
  are
• 16:53
  they
• 16:53
  engaged,
• 16:54
  they
• 16:54
  feel
• 16:54
  like,
• 16:55
  I
• 16:55
  can
• 16:56
  do
• 16:56
  this
• 16:56
  right?
• 16:57
  I
• 16:57
  can
• 16:57
  learn.
• 16:58
  That's
• 16:58
  really
• 16:58
  empowering.
• 16:59
  And
• 16:59
  I
• 17:00
  think,
• 17:00
  you
• 17:01
  know,
• 17:01
  I
• 17:01
  was
• 17:01
  doing
• 17:01
  this
• 17:02
  well
• 17:02
  before
• 17:02
  COVID
• 17:03
  Since
• 17:03
  COVID
• 17:04
  we
• 17:04
  see
• 17:04
  gaps
• 17:05
  between
• 17:05
  learners
• 17:05
  being
• 17:06
  greater.
• 17:06
  We
• 17:06
  see
• 17:06
  absenteeism
• 17:07
  being
• 17:08
  more
• 17:08
  of
• 17:08
  a
• 17:08
  problem.
• 17:09
  This
• 17:09
  approach
• 17:09
  that
• 17:10
  keeps
• 17:10
  every
• 17:10
  student
• 17:11
  appropriately
• 17:12
  challenged
• 17:12
  and
• 17:12
  appropriately
• 17:13
  supported
• 17:13
  every
• 17:14
  day,
• 17:14
  to
• 17:14
  me,
• 17:15
  it
• 17:15
  feels
• 17:15
  more
• 17:15
  important
• 17:15
  than
• 17:16
  ever.
• 17:16
  Now.
• 17:21
  I
• 17:22
  do
• 17:22
  think
• 17:22
  that
• 17:23
  teaching
• 17:23
  in
• 17:23
  this
• 17:24
  way,
• 17:24
  it's
• 17:24
  different
• 17:25
  from
• 17:25
  how
• 17:26
  a
• 17:26
  lot
• 17:26
  of
• 17:26
  teachers
• 17:27
  are
• 17:27
  trained
• 17:27
  to
• 17:27
  teach,
• 17:27
  and
• 17:28
  it's
• 17:28
  different
• 17:28
  from
• 17:29
  what
• 17:29
  is
• 17:29
  sort
• 17:30
  of
• 17:30
  expected
• 17:30
  of
• 17:31
  teachers.
• 17:31
  When
• 17:31
  you
• 17:31
  think
• 17:32
  of
• 17:32
  a
• 17:32
  teacher,
• 17:33
  you
• 17:33
  think
• 17:33
  of
• 17:34
  someone
• 17:34
  standing
• 17:35
  at
• 17:35
  the
• 17:35
  front
• 17:35
  of
• 17:35
  the
• 17:36
  room
• 17:36
  and
• 17:36
  delivering
• 17:37
  content
• 17:37
  in
• 17:37
  a.
• 17:38
  In
• 17:38
  an
• 17:38
  engaging
• 17:39
  way.
• 17:39
  And
• 17:39
  I
• 17:39
  think
• 17:40
  we
• 17:40
  get
• 17:40
  that
• 17:40
  maybe
• 17:40
  from
• 17:41
  the
• 17:41
  movies
• 17:41
  or
• 17:42
  TV
• 17:42
  or
• 17:42
  I'm
• 17:43
  not
• 17:43
  totally
• 17:43
  sure
• 17:43
  what.
• 17:44
  But,
• 17:45
  you
• 17:45
  know,
• 17:45
  they
• 17:45
  can
• 17:46
  do
• 17:46
  that
• 17:46
  in
• 17:46
  the
• 17:46
  movies.
• 17:46
  In
• 17:47
  real
• 17:47
  life,
• 17:47
  it's
• 17:47
  much
• 17:47
  harder.
• 17:48
  And
• 17:48
  I
• 17:48
  certainly
• 17:49
  struggled
• 17:49
  to
• 17:49
  do
• 17:49
  that,
• 17:50
  just
• 17:50
  given
• 17:51
  that
• 17:51
  the
• 17:51
  different
• 17:51
  needs
• 17:52
  of
• 17:52
  learners
• 17:52
  in
• 17:53
  my
• 17:53
  room,
• 17:54
  it
• 17:54
  was
• 17:55
  different
• 17:55
  teaching
• 17:56
  in
• 17:56
  the
• 17:56
  way
• 17:56
  I've
• 17:57
  described.
• 17:57
  And
• 17:58
  a
• 17:58
  big
• 17:59
  difference
• 17:59
  is
• 17:59
  I
• 17:59
  needed
• 18:00
  to
• 18:00
  give
• 18:00
  up
• 18:00
  a
• 18:01
  lot
• 18:01
  of
• 18:01
  the
• 18:01
  control.
• 18:02
  When
• 18:02
  I
• 18:02
  was
• 18:02
  trained
• 18:03
  as
• 18:03
  a
• 18:03
  teacher,
• 18:04
  I
• 18:04
  was
• 18:04
  sort
• 18:04
  of
• 18:04
  told,
• 18:05
  you
• 18:05
  run
• 18:05
  your
• 18:05
  classroom.
• 18:06
  You're
• 18:07
  in
• 18:07
  control.
• 18:07
  But
• 18:08
  it
• 18:08
  meant
• 18:08
  I
• 18:08
  was
• 18:09
  doing
• 18:09
  all
• 18:09
  the
• 18:09
  work
• 18:09
  and
• 18:09
  the
• 18:10
  thinking,
• 18:10
  and
• 18:11
  students
• 18:11
  were
• 18:11
  sort
• 18:11
  of
• 18:11
  passively
• 18:12
  following
• 18:13
  along.
• 18:13
  A
• 18:13
  lot
• 18:13
  of
• 18:13
  the
• 18:14
  time.
• 18:14
  I
• 18:14
  wanted
• 18:15
  to
• 18:15
  give
• 18:16
  the
• 18:16
  thinking
• 18:16
  back
• 18:17
  to
• 18:17
  them,
• 18:17
  put
• 18:18
  them
• 18:18
  in
• 18:18
  control,
• 18:19
  let
• 18:19
  them
• 18:19
  drive
• 18:20
  their
• 18:20
  own
• 18:20
  learning.
• 18:20
  And
• 18:20
  that
• 18:21
  meant
• 18:21
  I
• 18:21
  had
• 18:21
  to
• 18:21
  step
• 18:22
  back.
• 18:22
  And
• 18:23
  sometimes
• 18:23
  that
• 18:23
  was
• 18:23
  challenging
• 18:24
  because
• 18:25
  young
• 18:25
  people
• 18:25
  don't
• 18:26
  always
• 18:26
  handle
• 18:27
  freedom
• 18:28
  and
• 18:28
  autonomy
• 18:29
  perfectly
• 18:29
  well.
• 18:29
  In
• 18:30
  the
• 18:30
  beginning,
• 18:30
  I
• 18:30
  had
• 18:30
  some
• 18:31
  students
• 18:31
  who
• 18:31
  were
• 18:31
  confused
• 18:32
  or
• 18:32
  fell
• 18:33
  behind
• 18:33
  or
• 18:34
  wasted
• 18:34
  time,
• 18:35
  but
• 18:35
  I
• 18:35
  just
• 18:35
  felt
• 18:36
  like
• 18:36
  that's
• 18:37
  part
• 18:37
  of
• 18:37
  the
• 18:37
  learning
• 18:38
  process
• 18:38
  too.
• 18:39
  I've
• 18:39
  got
• 18:39
  to
• 18:40
  figure
• 18:40
  out
• 18:40
  good
• 18:41
  systems
• 18:41
  so
• 18:41
  it's
• 18:42
  clear
• 18:42
  to
• 18:42
  students
• 18:42
  what
• 18:42
  to
• 18:43
  do.
• 18:43
  I've
• 18:43
  got
• 18:43
  to
• 18:43
  motivate
• 18:44
  them.
• 18:44
  I've
• 18:44
  got
• 18:44
  to
• 18:45
  make
• 18:45
  sure
• 18:45
  they
• 18:46
  understand
• 18:46
  what
• 18:47
  to
• 18:47
  do
• 18:47
  and
• 18:47
  how
• 18:48
  and
• 18:48
  why
• 18:48
  I'm
• 18:48
  teaching
• 18:49
  in
• 18:49
  this
• 18:49
  way.
• 18:51
  And
• 18:51
  so
• 18:51
  it's
• 18:52
  an
• 18:52
  adjustment
• 18:52
  process.
• 18:53
  But
• 18:54
  like
• 18:54
  I
• 18:54
  say,
• 18:55
  once
• 18:56
  this
• 18:56
  adjustment
• 18:57
  had
• 18:57
  been
• 18:57
  made,
• 18:57
  I
• 18:57
  felt
• 18:57
  like
• 18:58
  I
• 18:58
  was
• 18:58
  just
• 18:58
  showing
• 18:59
  up
• 18:59
  and
• 18:59
  helping
• 18:59
  students
• 19:00
  learn.
• 19:00
  And
• 19:00
  I
• 19:00
  really
• 19:01
  liked
• 19:01
  that.
• 19:01
  I
• 19:02
  think
• 19:02
  the
• 19:02
  other
• 19:02
  thing
• 19:02
  I'll
• 19:03
  say
• 19:03
  is
• 19:03
  that
• 19:03
  this
• 19:04
  Approach
• 19:04
  I'm
• 19:04
  describing,
• 19:05
  it
• 19:05
  may
• 19:05
  sound
• 19:06
  like
• 19:06
  a
• 19:06
  big
• 19:06
  change.
• 19:07
  It
• 19:07
  may
• 19:07
  sound
• 19:07
  like
• 19:08
  a
• 19:08
  comprehensive
• 19:08
  sort
• 19:09
  of
• 19:09
  redesign
• 19:10
  of
• 19:10
  instruction.
• 19:11
  And
• 19:12
  it
• 19:12
  can
• 19:12
  be,
• 19:12
  but
• 19:12
  it
• 19:13
  takes
• 19:13
  many
• 19:13
  years
• 19:13
  to
• 19:13
  get
• 19:14
  there.
• 19:14
  And
• 19:14
  I'm
• 19:14
  always
• 19:14
  telling
• 19:15
  teachers,
• 19:16
  start
• 19:16
  small.
• 19:16
  You
• 19:17
  know,
• 19:17
  you
• 19:17
  don't
• 19:17
  need
• 19:17
  to
• 19:17
  transform
• 19:18
  your
• 19:18
  classroom
• 19:19
  overnight.
• 19:19
  Try
• 19:20
  one
• 19:20
  lesson
• 19:21
  where
• 19:22
  you
• 19:22
  don't
• 19:22
  stand
• 19:22
  at
• 19:23
  the
• 19:23
  board
• 19:23
  but
• 19:23
  you
• 19:23
  make
• 19:23
  a
• 19:24
  video.
• 19:24
  I
• 19:25
  bet
• 19:25
  you're
• 19:25
  going
• 19:25
  to
• 19:25
  like
• 19:25
  that
• 19:26
  lesson.
• 19:26
  Then
• 19:27
  try
• 19:27
  another
• 19:27
  one,
• 19:28
  then
• 19:28
  try
• 19:28
  a
• 19:28
  third,
• 19:29
  Then
• 19:30
  start
• 19:30
  letting
• 19:30
  your
• 19:31
  learners
• 19:31
  go
• 19:31
  at
• 19:31
  their
• 19:32
  own
• 19:32
  paces
• 19:32
  and
• 19:33
  start
• 19:33
  checking
• 19:33
  what
• 19:34
  they
• 19:34
  understand.
• 19:34
  And
• 19:35
  you
• 19:35
  can
• 19:35
  sort
• 19:35
  of
• 19:35
  build
• 19:36
  lesson
• 19:37
  by
• 19:37
  lesson,
• 19:37
  unit
• 19:38
  by
• 19:38
  unit,
• 19:38
  up
• 19:39
  to
• 19:39
  a
• 19:39
  full
• 19:39
  sort
• 19:40
  of
• 19:40
  course
• 19:40
  using
• 19:41
  the
• 19:41
  modern
• 19:41
  classroom
• 19:42
  model.
• 19:42
  But
• 19:43
  I
• 19:43
  always
• 19:43
  tell
• 19:43
  teachers,
• 19:44
  you
• 19:44
  just
• 19:45
  start
• 19:45
  small.
• 19:45
  And
• 19:46
  that's
• 19:46
  what
• 19:46
  happened
• 19:46
  for
• 19:47
  me
• 19:47
  too.
• 19:47
  Like
• 19:48
  I
• 19:48
  say,
• 19:48
  I
• 19:48
  didn't
• 19:48
  set
• 19:49
  out
• 19:49
  to
• 19:49
  design
• 19:49
  this
• 19:50
  instructional
• 19:50
  model.
• 19:51
  I
• 19:51
  was
• 19:51
  looking
• 19:52
  for
• 19:52
  solutions
• 19:53
  that
• 19:53
  worked
• 19:53
  for
• 19:53
  my
• 19:53
  students.
• 19:54
  So
• 19:54
  I
• 19:54
  didn't
• 19:54
  go
• 19:54
  home
• 19:55
  every
• 19:55
  day
• 19:55
  feeling
• 19:55
  like
• 19:56
  a
• 19:56
  failure.
• 19:56
  And
• 19:57
  after
• 19:57
  a
• 19:58
  couple
• 19:58
  years,
• 19:58
  I
• 19:58
  think
• 19:59
  I
• 19:59
  had
• 20:00
  found
• 20:00
  something
• 20:01
  that
• 20:01
  we
• 20:01
  now
• 20:01
  call
• 20:01
  the
• 20:01
  modern
• 20:02
  classroom
• 20:02
  model.
• 20:03
  Diane
• 20:04
  thought
• 20:04
  said
• 20:05
  what
• 20:05
  was
• 20:06
  really
• 20:06
  interesting
• 20:06
  for
• 20:07
  her
• 20:07
  was
• 20:07
  when
• 20:09
  her
• 20:10
  administrator
• 20:11
  or
• 20:11
  her
• 20:11
  evaluator
• 20:13
  came
• 20:13
  into
• 20:14
  her
• 20:14
  classroom
• 20:15
  and
• 20:16
  she
• 20:16
  was
• 20:16
  doing
• 20:17
  very
• 20:18
  different
• 20:19
  things.
• 20:19
  They
• 20:20
  were
• 20:20
  shocked
• 20:21
  and
• 20:21
  didn't
• 20:22
  know
• 20:22
  she
• 20:23
  had
• 20:23
  to
• 20:23
  do
• 20:23
  some
• 20:23
  training
• 20:24
  with
• 20:25
  her
• 20:25
  principals
• 20:26
  because
• 20:26
  those
• 20:27
  things
• 20:27
  that
• 20:27
  they
• 20:28
  were
• 20:28
  expecting
• 20:28
  to
• 20:29
  see
• 20:29
  on
• 20:29
  the
• 20:29
  checklist
• 20:31
  occur
• 20:32
  in
• 20:32
  very
• 20:32
  different
• 20:33
  ways.
• 20:34
  And
• 20:34
  so
• 20:34
  it
• 20:34
  was
• 20:34
  really.
• 20:35
  She
• 20:35
  was
• 20:36
  like,
• 20:36
  you
• 20:36
  know,
• 20:36
  she
• 20:36
  called
• 20:37
  me
• 20:37
  after
• 20:37
  the
• 20:37
  first
• 20:37
  one,
• 20:38
  she's
• 20:38
  like,
• 20:38
  okay,
• 20:38
  I'm
• 20:39
  going
• 20:39
  to
• 20:39
  have
• 20:39
  to
• 20:39
  go
• 20:39
  down
• 20:39
  and
• 20:40
  do
• 20:40
  some
• 20:40
  training
• 20:40
  with
• 20:41
  the
• 20:41
  principal.
• 20:41
  Because
• 20:42
  he
• 20:42
  was
• 20:42
  just
• 20:42
  looking
• 20:42
  at
• 20:42
  me
• 20:43
  like
• 20:43
  I
• 20:44
  didn't
• 20:44
  see
• 20:44
  anything
• 20:44
  that
• 20:45
  I
• 20:45
  was,
• 20:45
  you
• 20:45
  know,
• 20:45
  that
• 20:45
  I
• 20:46
  was
• 20:46
  expected
• 20:47
  to
• 20:47
  see
• 20:48
  on
• 20:48
  my
• 20:48
  checklist
• 20:49
  when
• 20:49
  I
• 20:49
  went
• 20:50
  into
• 20:50
  your
• 20:50
  room.
• 20:50
  Because
• 20:51
  that
• 20:51
  checklist
• 20:52
  is,
• 20:52
  of
• 20:52
  course,
• 20:52
  you
• 20:52
  know,
• 20:53
  we
• 20:53
  know
• 20:53
  what
• 20:53
  I
• 20:53
  think
• 20:54
  about
• 20:54
  evaluation
• 20:55
  to
• 20:55
  begin
• 20:55
  with,
• 20:55
  but
• 20:55
  then
• 20:56
  that
• 20:56
  is
• 20:56
  a
• 20:56
  very
• 20:57
  traditional
• 20:58
  look
• 20:59
  at
• 20:59
  what
• 20:59
  instruction
• 21:01
  is.
• 21:02
  So,
• 21:04
  Rob,
• 21:04
  do
• 21:04
  you
• 21:04
  guys,
• 21:05
  do
• 21:05
  you,
• 21:06
  do
• 21:06
  you
• 21:06
  do
• 21:06
  training
• 21:06
  for
• 21:07
  administrators
• 21:07
  on
• 21:07
  how
• 21:08
  to
• 21:08
  recognize
• 21:09
  this
• 21:09
  amazing
• 21:10
  instructional
• 21:11
  approach?
• 21:12
  Absolutely.
• 21:13
  And
• 21:13
  I
• 21:13
  think
• 21:14
  the
• 21:14
  most
• 21:14
  common
• 21:15
  complaint
• 21:15
  we
• 21:15
  hear
• 21:16
  from
• 21:17
  students,
• 21:17
  parents,
• 21:18
  administrators,
• 21:19
  is
• 21:20
  you're
• 21:20
  not
• 21:20
  teaching.
• 21:21
  Because
• 21:22
  I
• 21:22
  think
• 21:22
  what
• 21:22
  they
• 21:22
  expect
• 21:23
  is
• 21:23
  the
• 21:23
  teacher
• 21:24
  to
• 21:24
  be
• 21:24
  at
• 21:24
  the
• 21:24
  board
• 21:25
  performing.
• 21:26
  I
• 21:26
  always
• 21:26
  think
• 21:27
  I'm
• 21:27
  teaching
• 21:28
  more
• 21:28
  and
• 21:28
  I'm
• 21:28
  teaching
• 21:29
  better.
• 21:29
  Right.
• 21:29
  Because
• 21:30
  you
• 21:30
  have
• 21:30
  access
• 21:30
  to
• 21:31
  me
• 21:31
  anytime
• 21:32
  you
• 21:32
  want
• 21:33
  on
• 21:33
  screen.
• 21:34
  My
• 21:34
  explanations
• 21:35
  on
• 21:35
  video
• 21:35
  are
• 21:36
  always
• 21:36
  better
• 21:36
  than
• 21:36
  my
• 21:37
  live
• 21:37
  explanations
• 21:37
  because
• 21:38
  I'm
• 21:38
  not
• 21:38
  interrupted
• 21:39
  by
• 21:39
  a
• 21:40
  late
• 21:40
  arriving
• 21:40
  student
• 21:41
  or
• 21:41
  behavior
• 21:42
  challenge
• 21:42
  or
• 21:42
  anything.
• 21:42
  They're
• 21:43
  concise,
• 21:43
  they're
• 21:44
  focused.
• 21:44
  And
• 21:45
  in
• 21:45
  class,
• 21:45
  you
• 21:46
  have
• 21:46
  full
• 21:46
  access
• 21:47
  to
• 21:47
  me
• 21:47
  to
• 21:47
  help
• 21:47
  answer
• 21:48
  your
• 21:48
  questions.
• 21:49
  You
• 21:49
  know,
• 21:49
  whenever
• 21:50
  you,
• 21:50
  whenever
• 21:50
  you
• 21:50
  need.
• 21:51
  And
• 21:51
  I
• 21:51
  know
• 21:51
  my
• 21:51
  students
• 21:52
  much
• 21:52
  better
• 21:52
  too.
• 21:52
  But
• 21:53
  yeah,
• 21:53
  there
• 21:54
  is
• 21:54
  sort
• 21:54
  of
• 21:54
  that
• 21:54
  traditional
• 21:55
  image
• 21:55
  of
• 21:55
  teaching
• 21:56
  and
• 21:56
  I
• 21:56
  guess
• 21:56
  it's
• 21:56
  enshrined
• 21:57
  in
• 21:58
  rubric
• 21:58
  sometimes
• 21:59
  that
• 21:59
  the
• 21:59
  teacher
• 22:00
  needs
• 22:00
  to
• 22:00
  be
• 22:01
  directing
• 22:02
  the
• 22:02
  room.
• 22:02
  But
• 22:03
  like
• 22:03
  I
• 22:03
  say,
• 22:03
  it's
• 22:04
  the
• 22:04
  students
• 22:05
  who
• 22:05
  need
• 22:05
  to
• 22:05
  be
• 22:05
  doing
• 22:06
  the
• 22:06
  learning
• 22:06
  and
• 22:06
  the
• 22:07
  work.
• 22:07
  Right.
• 22:07
  I
• 22:07
  would
• 22:07
  tell
• 22:08
  my
• 22:08
  students,
• 22:08
  I
• 22:09
  already
• 22:09
  know
• 22:09
  this,
• 22:09
  like
• 22:11
  your
• 22:11
  job
• 22:11
  is
• 22:11
  to
• 22:11
  learn
• 22:12
  it
• 22:12
  and
• 22:12
  I'm
• 22:12
  here
• 22:12
  to
• 22:12
  help
• 22:12
  you
• 22:13
  and
• 22:13
  I'm
• 22:13
  building
• 22:14
  the
• 22:14
  conditions
• 22:14
  for
• 22:14
  you
• 22:15
  to
• 22:15
  do
• 22:15
  that.
• 22:15
  So
• 22:16
  it
• 22:16
  is
• 22:16
  sort
• 22:16
  of
• 22:16
  a
• 22:17
  shift.
• 22:17
  But
• 22:17
  I
• 22:17
  think
• 22:17
  once
• 22:18
  people
• 22:18
  understand
• 22:18
  it
• 22:19
  like,
• 22:19
  that
• 22:20
  is
• 22:20
  really,
• 22:20
  in
• 22:20
  my
• 22:21
  experience,
• 22:21
  what
• 22:21
  administrators
• 22:22
  and
• 22:22
  students
• 22:23
  and
• 22:24
  parents
• 22:25
  want.
• 22:25
  They
• 22:25
  want
• 22:26
  classrooms
• 22:27
  where
• 22:27
  students
• 22:27
  are
• 22:27
  challenged
• 22:28
  and
• 22:28
  engaged.
• 22:29
  It
• 22:29
  just
• 22:29
  looks
• 22:30
  a
• 22:30
  little
• 22:30
  bit
• 22:30
  different.
• 22:31
  We
• 22:31
  do
• 22:31
  work
• 22:32
  with
• 22:32
  administrators.
• 22:33
  We
• 22:33
  have
• 22:33
  courses
• 22:34
  for
• 22:35
  administrators.
• 22:35
  And
• 22:36
  when
• 22:36
  we
• 22:36
  partner
• 22:37
  with
• 22:37
  the
• 22:37
  school
• 22:37
  or
• 22:37
  district,
• 22:38
  we
• 22:38
  like
• 22:38
  to
• 22:39
  go
• 22:39
  with
• 22:40
  administrators
• 22:40
  and
• 22:40
  walk
• 22:41
  through
• 22:41
  classrooms
• 22:42
  with
• 22:42
  our
• 22:42
  own
• 22:43
  sort
• 22:43
  of
• 22:43
  rubric.
• 22:44
  It's
• 22:45
  not
• 22:45
  an
• 22:45
  evaluative
• 22:46
  rubric.
• 22:46
  We
• 22:46
  call
• 22:47
  it
• 22:47
  an
• 22:47
  implementation
• 22:48
  and
• 22:48
  growth
• 22:49
  rubric
• 22:49
  because
• 22:49
  the
• 22:50
  idea
• 22:50
  is
• 22:50
  to
• 22:50
  see
• 22:51
  what's
• 22:51
  being
• 22:51
  implemented
• 22:52
  and
• 22:52
  where's
• 22:52
  the
• 22:53
  opportunity
• 22:53
  for
• 22:53
  growth.
• 22:54
  It's
• 22:54
  not
• 22:55
  for,
• 22:55
  you
• 22:55
  know,
• 22:56
  evaluation.
• 22:57
  And
• 22:57
  we
• 22:57
  walk
• 22:58
  through
• 22:58
  and
• 22:58
  we
• 22:58
  say,
• 22:58
  okay,
• 22:59
  like,
• 22:59
  yes,
• 23:00
  what
• 23:01
  we're
• 23:01
  actually,
• 23:01
  what
• 23:01
  we're
• 23:01
  really
• 23:02
  looking
• 23:02
  for
• 23:02
  here
• 23:02
  is
• 23:03
  what
• 23:03
  are
• 23:03
  the
• 23:03
  students
• 23:03
  doing,
• 23:04
  how
• 23:05
  are
• 23:05
  the
• 23:05
  students
• 23:05
  learning
• 23:06
  and
• 23:06
  how
• 23:06
  is
• 23:06
  the
• 23:06
  teacher
• 23:07
  providing
• 23:07
  support?
• 23:08
  And
• 23:08
  we're
• 23:08
  trying
• 23:08
  to
• 23:09
  explain
• 23:09
  that.
• 23:10
  Here's
• 23:11
  the
• 23:11
  rationale
• 23:11
  for
• 23:12
  this
• 23:12
  approach
• 23:12
  and
• 23:12
  here's
• 23:13
  what
• 23:13
  you
• 23:13
  can
• 23:13
  see
• 23:14
  to
• 23:15
  know
• 23:15
  that
• 23:15
  this
• 23:15
  is
• 23:15
  really
• 23:16
  working.
• 23:16
  Here's
• 23:17
  what
• 23:17
  you
• 23:17
  can
• 23:17
  see
• 23:18
  to
• 23:18
  make
• 23:18
  sure
• 23:18
  that
• 23:19
  the
• 23:19
  teacher's
• 23:19
  using
• 23:20
  their
• 23:20
  time
• 23:20
  well
• 23:20
  and
• 23:20
  the
• 23:21
  students
• 23:21
  are
• 23:21
  really
• 23:22
  challenged
• 23:22
  and
• 23:23
  supported.
• 23:24
  I
• 23:24
  always
• 23:25
  tell
• 23:25
  people
• 23:25
  that
• 23:25
  what
• 23:26
  modern
• 23:26
  classrooms
• 23:27
  really
• 23:27
  help
• 23:27
  teachers
• 23:28
  do
• 23:28
  is
• 23:29
  replace
• 23:29
  that
• 23:30
  portion
• 23:30
  of
• 23:30
  the
• 23:30
  lecture
• 23:31
  or
• 23:32
  of
• 23:32
  the
• 23:32
  lesson
• 23:33
  that
• 23:33
  is
• 23:33
  a
• 23:33
  lecture
• 23:34
  or
• 23:34
  that
• 23:34
  is
• 23:34
  teachers
• 23:35
  explaining
• 23:35
  content
• 23:36
  directly
• 23:36
  to
• 23:37
  students.
• 23:37
  That's
• 23:38
  all
• 23:38
  I
• 23:39
  think
• 23:39
  that
• 23:39
  is
• 23:40
  really
• 23:40
  ineffective
• 23:40
  when
• 23:41
  done
• 23:41
  whole
• 23:41
  class.
• 23:42
  And
• 23:42
  a
• 23:42
  video
• 23:42
  is
• 23:42
  a
• 23:43
  much
• 23:43
  better
• 23:43
  way
• 23:43
  of
• 23:43
  doing
• 23:44
  it.
• 23:44
  But
• 23:44
  if
• 23:44
  you
• 23:45
  want
• 23:45
  to
• 23:45
  have
• 23:45
  a
• 23:45
  whole
• 23:46
  class
• 23:46
  discussion,
• 23:47
  if
• 23:47
  you're
• 23:47
  a
• 23:47
  science
• 23:47
  teacher
• 23:48
  and
• 23:48
  you
• 23:48
  want
• 23:48
  to
• 23:48
  do
• 23:49
  a
• 23:49
  lab
• 23:49
  as
• 23:50
  a
• 23:50
  whole
• 23:50
  class,
• 23:51
  absolutely,
• 23:52
  you
• 23:52
  should
• 23:52
  do
• 23:52
  that.
• 23:53
  Like
• 23:53
  any
• 23:54
  kind
• 23:54
  of
• 23:54
  activity
• 23:55
  that
• 23:55
  works,
• 23:56
  that
• 23:56
  works
• 23:57
  best
• 23:57
  with
• 23:57
  the
• 23:57
  whole
• 23:58
  class
• 23:58
  together
• 23:58
  or
• 23:58
  in
• 23:59
  an
• 23:59
  interactive
• 23:59
  way
• 24:00
  should
• 24:00
  continue
• 24:00
  to
• 24:00
  be
• 24:01
  done
• 24:01
  in
• 24:01
  that
• 24:01
  way.
• 24:02
  It's
• 24:02
  just
• 24:03
  the
• 24:03
  portion
• 24:03
  of
• 24:03
  learning
• 24:04
  that
• 24:04
  is
• 24:04
  sort
• 24:04
  of
• 24:05
  teacher
• 24:06
  explains
• 24:07
  students
• 24:07
  apply,
• 24:09
  that
• 24:09
  is
• 24:10
  I
• 24:10
  think
• 24:10
  best
• 24:11
  done
• 24:11
  at
• 24:11
  students
• 24:12
  own
• 24:12
  paces
• 24:12
  in
• 24:13
  a
• 24:13
  way
• 24:13
  that
• 24:13
  ensures
• 24:13
  that
• 24:14
  they
• 24:14
  reach
• 24:15
  mastery.
• 24:15
  So,
• 24:16
  you
• 24:16
  know,
• 24:16
  teachers
• 24:17
  do
• 24:17
  this
• 24:17
  in
• 24:17
  different
• 24:18
  ways.
• 24:18
  Every
• 24:18
  modern
• 24:19
  classroom
• 24:19
  looks
• 24:19
  different
• 24:20
  in
• 24:21
  general,
• 24:21
  I
• 24:21
  think,
• 24:22
  you
• 24:22
  know,
• 24:22
  your
• 24:22
  default
• 24:23
  as
• 24:23
  a
• 24:23
  modern
• 24:23
  classroom
• 24:24
  teacher
• 24:24
  Is
• 24:24
  students
• 24:25
  come
• 24:25
  into
• 24:25
  class,
• 24:26
  you
• 24:26
  usually
• 24:27
  do
• 24:27
  some
• 24:27
  kind
• 24:28
  of
• 24:28
  whole
• 24:29
  class
• 24:29
  opening
• 24:29
  activity,
• 24:30
  a
• 24:31
  warmup
• 24:31
  problem,
• 24:32
  community
• 24:32
  builder
• 24:33
  announcements,
• 24:34
  just
• 24:34
  something
• 24:34
  like
• 24:34
  that.
• 24:34
  That's
• 24:35
  a
• 24:35
  nice
• 24:35
  way
• 24:35
  to
• 24:35
  build
• 24:36
  community.
• 24:37
  Then
• 24:37
  students
• 24:37
  are
• 24:38
  released
• 24:38
  to
• 24:38
  a
• 24:39
  self
• 24:39
  paced
• 24:40
  work
• 24:40
  time
• 24:40
  in
• 24:40
  which
• 24:41
  students
• 24:41
  pick
• 24:41
  up
• 24:42
  where
• 24:42
  they
• 24:42
  left
• 24:42
  off
• 24:42
  and
• 24:43
  keep
• 24:43
  working.
• 24:44
  During
• 24:45
  that
• 24:45
  time.
• 24:46
  Students
• 24:46
  often
• 24:47
  are
• 24:47
  working
• 24:47
  together
• 24:48
  on
• 24:49
  things,
• 24:49
  right?
• 24:49
  They
• 24:49
  watch
• 24:50
  the
• 24:50
  video,
• 24:50
  they
• 24:50
  close
• 24:50
  the
• 24:51
  computer,
• 24:51
  they
• 24:51
  get
• 24:52
  to
• 24:52
  work
• 24:52
  on
• 24:52
  some
• 24:53
  applied
• 24:54
  practice
• 24:54
  or
• 24:55
  reading
• 24:55
  or
• 24:55
  activity.
• 24:56
  And
• 24:56
  you
• 24:57
  know,
• 24:57
  students
• 24:57
  can
• 24:58
  find
• 24:58
  classmates
• 24:58
  who
• 24:59
  are
• 24:59
  in
• 24:59
  the
• 24:59
  same
• 24:59
  place
• 24:59
  as
• 25:00
  them
• 25:00
  and
• 25:00
  work
• 25:00
  together.
• 25:01
  They
• 25:01
  can
• 25:01
  find
• 25:02
  classmates
• 25:02
  who
• 25:02
  are
• 25:02
  ahead
• 25:03
  and
• 25:03
  ask
• 25:03
  for
• 25:03
  help.
• 25:04
  And
• 25:04
  the
• 25:04
  teacher
• 25:05
  is
• 25:05
  providing
• 25:05
  one
• 25:06
  on
• 25:06
  one
• 25:06
  support
• 25:06
  and
• 25:07
  perhaps
• 25:07
  pulling
• 25:08
  small
• 25:08
  groups
• 25:09
  to
• 25:09
  do
• 25:09
  small
• 25:09
  group
• 25:10
  instruction
• 25:10
  or
• 25:11
  mini
• 25:11
  lessons.
• 25:12
  I
• 25:12
  describe
• 25:13
  it
• 25:13
  kind
• 25:13
  of
• 25:13
  like
• 25:13
  a
• 25:14
  college
• 25:14
  library.
• 25:15
  If
• 25:15
  you
• 25:15
  walk
• 25:16
  into
• 25:16
  a
• 25:16
  college
• 25:16
  library,
• 25:17
  you'll
• 25:17
  see
• 25:17
  some
• 25:17
  students
• 25:18
  working
• 25:18
  independently,
• 25:19
  you'll
• 25:19
  see
• 25:20
  other
• 25:20
  students
• 25:20
  at
• 25:21
  tables
• 25:21
  studying
• 25:22
  together.
• 25:23
  And
• 25:23
  you
• 25:23
  know,
• 25:23
  you
• 25:23
  might,
• 25:24
  there
• 25:24
  might
• 25:24
  be
• 25:24
  a
• 25:25
  room
• 25:25
  off
• 25:25
  the
• 25:25
  library
• 25:26
  where
• 25:26
  the
• 25:26
  teacher
• 25:27
  is
• 25:27
  giving
• 25:28
  some
• 25:28
  kind
• 25:28
  of
• 25:28
  review
• 25:29
  session.
• 25:29
  And
• 25:29
  that's
• 25:30
  how
• 25:30
  the
• 25:30
  modern
• 25:30
  classroom
• 25:31
  would
• 25:31
  look
• 25:31
  during
• 25:32
  a
• 25:32
  self
• 25:32
  paced
• 25:32
  working
• 25:33
  time.
• 25:33
  And
• 25:33
  then
• 25:34
  at
• 25:34
  the
• 25:34
  end
• 25:34
  of
• 25:34
  class,
• 25:35
  there's
• 25:35
  often
• 25:35
  some
• 25:36
  kind
• 25:36
  of
• 25:36
  closing.
• 25:36
  It
• 25:37
  might
• 25:37
  be,
• 25:37
  you
• 25:38
  know,
• 25:38
  it
• 25:38
  might
• 25:38
  be
• 25:38
  announcements,
• 25:39
  it
• 25:39
  might
• 25:39
  be
• 25:39
  reflection,
• 25:40
  it
• 25:40
  might
• 25:40
  be
• 25:41
  celebration
• 25:41
  of
• 25:41
  students
• 25:42
  who
• 25:42
  made
• 25:42
  progress.
• 25:43
  And
• 25:43
  that's
• 25:44
  sort
• 25:44
  of
• 25:45
  the
• 25:45
  default
• 25:45
  day.
• 25:46
  But
• 25:47
  we
• 25:47
  encourage
• 25:47
  teachers,
• 25:48
  if
• 25:48
  you
• 25:48
  want
• 25:48
  to
• 25:49
  do
• 25:49
  a
• 25:49
  whole
• 25:49
  class
• 25:50
  discussion,
• 25:51
  great.
• 25:51
  Just
• 25:52
  tell
• 25:52
  your
• 25:52
  students
• 25:53
  on
• 25:53
  Wednesday
• 25:53
  of
• 25:53
  this
• 25:54
  week,
• 25:54
  we're
• 25:55
  not
• 25:55
  going
• 25:55
  to
• 25:55
  do
• 25:55
  a
• 25:55
  modern
• 25:55
  classroom
• 25:56
  lesson.
• 25:56
  We're
• 25:56
  not
• 25:56
  going
• 25:57
  to
• 25:57
  use
• 25:57
  computers.
• 25:57
  We're
• 25:57
  going
• 25:57
  to
• 25:58
  have
• 25:58
  a
• 25:58
  whole
• 25:58
  class
• 25:58
  discussion.
• 25:59
  Here's
• 26:00
  what
• 26:00
  you
• 26:00
  can
• 26:00
  do
• 26:00
  to
• 26:00
  be
• 26:01
  really
• 26:01
  prepared
• 26:01
  for
• 26:02
  that
• 26:02
  discussion
• 26:02
  to
• 26:03
  get
• 26:03
  the
• 26:03
  most
• 26:03
  out
• 26:03
  of
• 26:03
  it.
• 26:04
  Take
• 26:04
  Monday
• 26:04
  and
• 26:05
  Tuesday
• 26:05
  at
• 26:05
  your
• 26:05
  own
• 26:06
  pace
• 26:06
  to
• 26:06
  prepare
• 26:07
  and
• 26:07
  then
• 26:07
  Wednesday
• 26:08
  we'll
• 26:08
  do
• 26:08
  the
• 26:08
  whole
• 26:08
  class
• 26:09
  lesson.
• 26:09
  And
• 26:09
  I
• 26:09
  think
• 26:10
  that
• 26:10
  works
• 26:10
  really
• 26:11
  well
• 26:11
  for
• 26:11
  teachers
• 26:12
  and
• 26:12
  teachers
• 26:13
  should
• 26:13
  do
• 26:13
  that.
• 26:14
  It's
• 26:14
  really
• 26:14
  just
• 26:15
  taking
• 26:16
  the,
• 26:16
  the
• 26:16
  parts
• 26:17
  of
• 26:17
  instruction
• 26:17
  that
• 26:18
  are,
• 26:18
  you
• 26:18
  know,
• 26:19
  teacher,
• 26:19
  explain,
• 26:20
  student,
• 26:20
  apply,
• 26:21
  all
• 26:21
  at
• 26:21
  the
• 26:21
  same
• 26:21
  pace.
• 26:22
  We're
• 26:22
  replacing
• 26:23
  that
• 26:23
  with
• 26:24
  a
• 26:24
  self
• 26:24
  paced
• 26:25
  sort
• 26:25
  of
• 26:25
  student
• 26:26
  driven
• 26:27
  experience
• 26:27
  where
• 26:28
  students
• 26:28
  advance
• 26:28
  based
• 26:29
  on
• 26:29
  mastery.
• 26:30
  It's
• 26:31
  essentially
• 26:32
  this
• 26:32
  humanizing
• 26:33
  approach
• 26:34
  to
• 26:34
  education,
• 26:36
  right?
• 26:36
  So
• 26:37
  looking
• 26:37
  at
• 26:38
  the
• 26:39
  needs
• 26:39
  of
• 26:39
  the
• 26:39
  students,
• 26:40
  really,
• 26:41
  you
• 26:42
  have
• 26:42
  to
• 26:42
  understand
• 26:43
  them
• 26:44
  as
• 26:44
  human
• 26:44
  beings
• 26:45
  and
• 26:45
  so
• 26:45
  to
• 26:45
  be
• 26:45
  able
• 26:46
  to
• 26:46
  make
• 26:46
  these
• 26:46
  decisions
• 26:48
  as
• 26:48
  the
• 26:48
  teacher
• 26:49
  within
• 26:49
  this
• 26:49
  space.
• 26:51
  All
• 26:51
  of
• 26:52
  those
• 26:52
  pieces,
• 26:53
  you
• 26:53
  know,
• 26:53
  when
• 26:53
  we
• 26:53
  talk
• 26:53
  about
• 26:54
  the
• 26:54
  tenets
• 26:54
  of
• 26:54
  community,
• 26:55
  those
• 26:56
  are
• 26:56
  just
• 26:56
  really
• 26:57
  lifting
• 26:57
  up
• 26:58
  in
• 26:58
  everything
• 26:58
  that
• 26:58
  you're
• 26:59
  describing
• 26:59
  because
• 27:00
  it's
• 27:00
  a
• 27:00
  humanizing
• 27:01
  approach
• 27:01
  to
• 27:02
  education.
• 27:03
  That's
• 27:03
  what
• 27:03
  I'm
• 27:04
  hearing.
• 27:04
  Shout
• 27:04
  out,
• 27:04
  Rob,
• 27:06
  I'm,
• 27:06
  I'm
• 27:07
  glad
• 27:07
  you're
• 27:07
  hearing
• 27:07
  that.
• 27:07
  I
• 27:08
  think
• 27:08
  sometimes
• 27:09
  people
• 27:09
  think
• 27:10
  of
• 27:10
  modern
• 27:10
  classroom.
• 27:11
  They
• 27:11
  think
• 27:11
  of
• 27:11
  technology,
• 27:12
  they
• 27:12
  think
• 27:12
  of
• 27:13
  students
• 27:13
  on
• 27:13
  screens.
• 27:14
  They
• 27:14
  think
• 27:14
  of
• 27:15
  personalized
• 27:16
  learning,
• 27:16
  which
• 27:16
  often
• 27:17
  feels
• 27:17
  really
• 27:18
  impersonal,
• 27:19
  feels
• 27:19
  like
• 27:19
  everyone
• 27:20
  at
• 27:20
  their
• 27:20
  own
• 27:21
  silo
• 27:21
  doing
• 27:22
  their
• 27:22
  own
• 27:22
  thing.
• 27:22
  And
• 27:23
  that's
• 27:23
  not
• 27:24
  at
• 27:24
  all
• 27:24
  what
• 27:24
  we
• 27:25
  try
• 27:25
  to
• 27:25
  do
• 27:25
  at
• 27:26
  Modern
• 27:26
  Classrooms
• 27:26
  Project.
• 27:27
  We
• 27:27
  want
• 27:27
  students
• 27:28
  to
• 27:28
  watch
• 27:29
  short
• 27:29
  videos,
• 27:30
  close
• 27:30
  the
• 27:31
  screens,
• 27:31
  and
• 27:32
  work
• 27:32
  together
• 27:32
  with
• 27:33
  their
• 27:33
  classmates
• 27:34
  or
• 27:34
  with
• 27:34
  their
• 27:34
  peers
• 27:35
  so
• 27:35
  that
• 27:36
  they
• 27:37
  can
• 27:37
  interact,
• 27:37
  they
• 27:37
  can
• 27:38
  learn
• 27:38
  from
• 27:38
  one
• 27:38
  another,
• 27:39
  they
• 27:39
  can
• 27:39
  feel
• 27:40
  connected.
• 27:41
  Because
• 27:41
  that's,
• 27:41
  I
• 27:41
  think,
• 27:42
  ultimately
• 27:42
  what.
• 27:43
  What
• 27:43
  learning
• 27:43
  is
• 27:44
  about.
• 27:44
  I
• 27:44
  think
• 27:44
  if
• 27:44
  you.
• 27:45
  When
• 27:45
  I
• 27:45
  was
• 27:45
  teaching
• 27:46
  and
• 27:46
  I
• 27:47
  was
• 27:47
  standing
• 27:47
  at
• 27:47
  the
• 27:47
  front
• 27:47
  of
• 27:48
  the
• 27:48
  room
• 27:48
  before
• 27:48
  I
• 27:49
  had
• 27:49
  videos,
• 27:49
  like,
• 27:50
  I
• 27:50
  guess
• 27:51
  there
• 27:51
  was
• 27:51
  human
• 27:51
  interaction.
• 27:52
  It
• 27:52
  wasn't
• 27:52
  very
• 27:52
  high
• 27:53
  quality.
• 27:53
  I
• 27:54
  was
• 27:54
  kind
• 27:54
  of
• 27:54
  like
• 27:55
  policing
• 27:56
  behavior
• 27:56
  and
• 27:56
  hoping
• 27:57
  students
• 27:57
  would
• 27:57
  listen,
• 27:58
  and
• 27:58
  they
• 27:58
  were
• 27:58
  spending
• 27:58
  their
• 27:59
  time
• 27:59
  being
• 28:00
  asked
• 28:00
  to
• 28:00
  sit
• 28:00
  quietly
• 28:01
  and
• 28:01
  listen.
• 28:01
  There
• 28:01
  wasn't
• 28:02
  a
• 28:02
  lot
• 28:02
  of
• 28:02
  interaction.
• 28:03
  Once.
• 28:03
  I
• 28:04
  use
• 28:04
  technology
• 28:05
  in
• 28:05
  a
• 28:05
  pretty
• 28:06
  narrow
• 28:06
  and
• 28:06
  specific
• 28:07
  way,
• 28:08
  all
• 28:08
  of
• 28:08
  a
• 28:08
  sudden
• 28:09
  I'm
• 28:09
  spending
• 28:09
  my
• 28:10
  time
• 28:10
  just
• 28:11
  like
• 28:11
  the
• 28:11
  teacher
• 28:12
  you're
• 28:12
  working
• 28:12
  with,
• 28:12
  Grant.
• 28:13
  I'm
• 28:14
  working
• 28:14
  closely
• 28:14
  with
• 28:14
  my
• 28:15
  students.
• 28:15
  They're
• 28:16
  free
• 28:16
  to
• 28:16
  work
• 28:16
  with
• 28:16
  one
• 28:17
  another.
• 28:17
  It's
• 28:18
  actually
• 28:18
  much
• 28:18
  more
• 28:19
  human,
• 28:19
  and
• 28:19
  we
• 28:19
  spend
• 28:20
  much
• 28:20
  more
• 28:20
  time
• 28:21
  engaged,
• 28:22
  face
• 28:22
  to
• 28:23
  face
• 28:23
  than
• 28:23
  we
• 28:24
  did
• 28:24
  when
• 28:24
  everyone
• 28:24
  was
• 28:25
  trying
• 28:25
  to
• 28:26
  watch
• 28:26
  me
• 28:26
  teach.
• 28:27
  And
• 28:27
  so,
• 28:28
  yeah,
• 28:28
  I
• 28:28
  think
• 28:29
  that
• 28:30
  that
• 28:31
  human
• 28:31
  element's
• 28:32
  essential
• 28:32
  to
• 28:32
  modern
• 28:32
  classrooms,
• 28:33
  and
• 28:33
  it's
• 28:33
  the
• 28:33
  whole
• 28:33
  reason
• 28:34
  we
• 28:34
  send
• 28:34
  kids
• 28:34
  to
• 28:34
  school,
• 28:35
  right?
• 28:35
  Otherwise,
• 28:36
  we
• 28:36
  just
• 28:36
  let
• 28:36
  kids
• 28:37
  sit
• 28:37
  on
• 28:37
  their
• 28:37
  computers
• 28:37
  at
• 28:38
  home
• 28:38
  and
• 28:38
  learn.
• 28:39
  That
• 28:39
  approach
• 28:39
  doesn't
• 28:40
  work.
• 28:40
  We
• 28:40
  shouldn't
• 28:40
  try
• 28:40
  to
• 28:40
  replicate
• 28:41
  it
• 28:41
  in
• 28:41
  school.
• 28:42
  We
• 28:42
  should
• 28:43
  make
• 28:43
  school
• 28:43
  places
• 28:44
  where
• 28:45
  students
• 28:45
  and
• 28:46
  teachers
• 28:46
  interact
• 28:46
  closely.
• 28:47
  And
• 28:48
  I'm
• 28:48
  a
• 28:48
  parent
• 28:48
  as
• 28:48
  well.
• 28:49
  That's
• 28:49
  what
• 28:49
  I
• 28:49
  want
• 28:49
  for
• 28:49
  my
• 28:49
  kids.
• 28:50
  I
• 28:51
  want
• 28:51
  them
• 28:51
  to
• 28:51
  go
• 28:51
  to
• 28:51
  school
• 28:52
  and
• 28:52
  work
• 28:52
  closely
• 28:53
  with
• 28:53
  their
• 28:53
  teachers
• 28:53
  and
• 28:54
  get
• 28:54
  to
• 28:54
  know
• 28:55
  their
• 28:55
  friends.
• 28:55
  And
• 28:56
  I
• 28:57
  think
• 28:57
  the
• 28:57
  modern
• 28:57
  classroom
• 28:58
  approach
• 28:58
  creates
• 28:59
  classrooms
• 28:59
  where
• 29:00
  that
• 29:00
  is
• 29:00
  not
• 29:00
  just
• 29:00
  aspirational.
• 29:01
  It's
• 29:02
  sort
• 29:02
  of
• 29:02
  the
• 29:02
  daily
• 29:03
  reality
• 29:04
  we
• 29:04
  have
• 29:04
  to
• 29:05
  recognize.
• 29:05
  Every
• 29:05
  young
• 29:05
  person
• 29:06
  comes
• 29:06
  to
• 29:06
  school
• 29:06
  wanting
• 29:07
  to
• 29:07
  learn,
• 29:08
  wanting
• 29:08
  to
• 29:08
  be
• 29:08
  successful,
• 29:09
  and
• 29:10
  we
• 29:10
  just
• 29:10
  need
• 29:10
  to
• 29:11
  create
• 29:11
  classrooms
• 29:11
  where
• 29:12
  that's
• 29:12
  possible,
• 29:13
  where
• 29:13
  the
• 29:13
  student
• 29:14
  who
• 29:14
  needs
• 29:14
  a
• 29:14
  little
• 29:14
  more
• 29:15
  time
• 29:15
  has
• 29:16
  it,
• 29:16
  where
• 29:16
  the
• 29:17
  student
• 29:17
  who's
• 29:17
  ready
• 29:17
  for
• 29:17
  a
• 29:18
  challenge
• 29:19
  gets
• 29:19
  it,
• 29:19
  where
• 29:20
  the
• 29:20
  student
• 29:20
  who
• 29:20
  was
• 29:21
  absent
• 29:22
  can
• 29:22
  be
• 29:22
  engaged
• 29:23
  because
• 29:23
  they're
• 29:23
  not
• 29:24
  totally
• 29:24
  lost.
• 29:25
  And
• 29:25
  it's
• 29:26
  not
• 29:26
  surprising
• 29:26
  to
• 29:27
  me
• 29:27
  that
• 29:27
  when
• 29:27
  we
• 29:28
  create
• 29:28
  those
• 29:28
  classrooms,
• 29:29
  students
• 29:29
  push
• 29:30
  each
• 29:30
  other
• 29:30
  and
• 29:30
  challenge
• 29:31
  each
• 29:31
  other
• 29:31
  and
• 29:31
  achieve

  It's

  what

  they

  want

  to
• 29:33
  do,

  and
• 29:34
  it's

  what
• 29:34
  they're
• 29:34
  capable
• 29:35
  of.
• 29:35
  We
• 29:35
  just

  need

  to

  create

  One

  that

  I

  hear

  when
• 29:40
  we
• 29:40
  talk
• 29:40
  about

  powerful
• 29:41
  student
• 29:41
  care
• 29:42
  with
• 29:42
  teachers
• 29:43
  is
• 29:43
  that
• 29:43
  they
• 29:43
  don't
• 29:44
  understand.
• 29:45
  They
• 29:45
  try
• 29:45
  to
• 29:46
  envision
• 29:47
  creating
• 29:48
  those
• 29:48
  human

• 29:49
  with

  students

  in

  In

  the

  that

  they

  pedagogy
• 29:57
  to

  be.
• 29:57
  And
• 29:57
  they
• 29:58
  struggle
• 29:58
  with
• 29:58
  thinking
• 29:59
  about
• 30:00
  how
• 30:01
  to

  do
• 30:01
  all
• 30:02
  of

  that

  that

  we

  talk

  What
• 30:16
  I
• 30:16
  find
• 30:17
  and
• 30:17
  have
• 30:18
  found
• 30:18
  so
• 30:19
  incredibly
• 30:20
  beautiful
• 30:21
  with
• 30:21
  what
• 30:21
  you
• 30:21
  have
• 30:21
  done
• 30:22
  with
• 30:22
  the
• 30:22
  Modern
• 30:22
  Classrooms
• 30:23
  Project
• 30:23
  is
• 30:24
  that
• 30:24
  you
• 30:24
  have
• 30:24
  skillfully
• 30:24
  blended
• 30:25
  the
• 30:25
  two
• 30:25
  together.
• 30:28
  That
• 30:28
  you
• 30:28
  have
• 30:28
  recognized
• 30:29
  many
• 30:30
  years
• 30:30
  ago
• 30:31
  that
• 30:32
  we
• 30:32
  cannot
• 30:33
  build
• 30:33
  relationships
• 30:34
  with
• 30:34
  students
• 30:34
  while
• 30:35
  we're
• 30:35
  standing
• 30:35
  at
• 30:35
  the
• 30:36
  board
• 30:36
  delivering
• 30:38
  the
• 30:38
  instruction
• 30:39
  that
• 30:39
  we
• 30:39
  believe
• 30:40
  is
• 30:40
  the
• 30:40
  only
• 30:41
  way
• 30:41
  that
• 30:41
  we
• 30:41
  can
• 30:41
  deliver
• 30:42
  it.
• 30:42
  And
• 30:43
  you've
• 30:43
  empowered
• 30:43
  educators
• 30:44
  to
• 30:44
  really
• 30:45
  rethink
• 30:47
  how
• 30:47
  we
• 30:47
  do
• 30:48
  this
• 30:48
  work,
• 30:48
  to
• 30:49
  create
• 30:49
  human
• 30:50
  spaces
• 30:50
  for
• 30:51
  children
• 30:51
  to
• 30:52
  excel
• 30:53
  both
• 30:53
  academically,
• 30:54
  socially,
• 30:55
  and
• 30:55
  emotionally.
• 30:56
  And
• 30:56
  I
• 30:56
  have
• 30:56
  been
• 30:57
  a
• 30:57
  fan.
• 30:58
  You
• 30:58
  didn't
• 30:58
  know
• 30:58
  me
• 30:59
  before,
• 30:59
  but
• 31:00
  I
• 31:00
  have
• 31:00
  been
• 31:00
  a
• 31:00
  fan
• 31:01
  of
• 31:01
  what
• 31:01
  you
• 31:02
  have
• 31:02
  been
• 31:02
  doing
• 31:03
  with
• 31:03
  the
• 31:03
  Modern
• 31:03
  Classroom
• 31:04
  Project.
• 31:04
  And
• 31:04
  I'm
• 31:05
  so
• 31:06
  thankful
• 31:07
  that
• 31:07
  you
• 31:07
  came
• 31:08
  to
• 31:08
  share
• 31:08
  your
• 31:09
  expertise
• 31:09
  and
• 31:09
  your
• 31:10
  journey
• 31:11
  with
• 31:11
  us
• 31:11
  here
• 31:12
  at
• 31:12
  the
• 31:12
  wheelhouse.
• 31:14
  Well,
• 31:14
  thank
• 31:15
  you
• 31:15
  for
• 31:15
  having
• 31:15
  me.
• 31:16
  And
• 31:16
  really
• 31:16
  powerful
• 31:17
  student
• 31:17
  care
• 31:18
  is
• 31:18
  what
• 31:18
  it's
• 31:18
  all
• 31:18
  about.
• 31:19
  At
• 31:20
  the
• 31:20
  end
• 31:20
  of
• 31:20
  the
• 31:20
  day,
• 31:20
  we
• 31:21
  send
• 31:21
  our
• 31:21
  kids
• 31:22
  to
• 31:22
  school
• 31:22
  because
• 31:23
  we
• 31:23
  want
• 31:23
  them
• 31:23
  to
• 31:24
  learn
• 31:24
  and
• 31:25
  grow.
• 31:25
  And
• 31:26
  our
• 31:26
  classrooms
• 31:27
  need
• 31:27
  to
• 31:27
  be
• 31:27
  spaces
• 31:28
  where
• 31:29
  that
• 31:29
  kind
• 31:30
  of
• 31:30
  learning
• 31:30
  and
• 31:30
  growth
• 31:31
  is
• 31:31
  possible
• 31:32
  and
• 31:32
  where
• 31:32
  teachers
• 31:33
  can
• 31:34
  take
• 31:34
  care
• 31:34
  of
• 31:35
  students
• 31:35
  and
• 31:35
  students
• 31:36
  can
• 31:36
  take
• 31:36
  care
• 31:36
  of
• 31:37
  one
• 31:37
  another.
• 31:38
  I
• 31:38
  think,
• 31:38
  as
• 31:39
  I
• 31:39
  hope
• 31:39
  I've
• 31:40
  communicated,
• 31:40
  that's
• 31:41
  really
• 31:41
  hard
• 31:41
  to
• 31:42
  do
• 31:42
  in
• 31:42
  a
• 31:43
  whole
• 31:43
  class
• 31:43
  way
• 31:44
  because
• 31:44
  it's
• 31:44
  just
• 31:44
  hard
• 31:45
  to
• 31:45
  show
• 31:46
  that
• 31:46
  you
• 31:46
  care.
• 31:46
  It's
• 31:47
  hard
• 31:47
  to
• 31:47
  establish
• 31:48
  relationships
• 31:48
  with
• 31:49
  20
• 31:49
  people
• 31:49
  at
• 31:50
  once.
• 31:50
  Right?
• 31:51
  When
• 31:51
  we
• 31:51
  have
• 31:52
  relationships
• 31:52
  in
• 31:52
  our
• 31:53
  own
• 31:53
  lives,
• 31:53
  they
• 31:54
  are
• 31:54
  one
• 31:54
  on
• 31:55
  one,
• 31:55
  or
• 31:55
  they're
• 31:56
  with
• 31:56
  our
• 31:57
  close
• 31:57
  family
• 31:58
  or
• 31:58
  small
• 31:58
  groups
• 31:58
  of
• 31:59
  friends.
• 31:59
  That's
• 31:59
  how
• 32:00
  relationships
• 32:00
  are
• 32:01
  formed.
• 32:01
  And
• 32:01
  so
• 32:02
  how
• 32:02
  do
• 32:02
  we
• 32:02
  make
• 32:02
  that
• 32:02
  happen
• 32:03
  in
• 32:03
  the
• 32:03
  classroom?
• 32:04
  We
• 32:04
  need
• 32:05
  a
• 32:05
  different
• 32:06
  framework
• 32:06
  for
• 32:06
  doing
• 32:07
  it.
• 32:07
  And
• 32:07
  a
• 32:07
  framework
• 32:08
  is
• 32:08
  fine.
• 32:08
  A
• 32:09
  framework
• 32:09
  sounds
• 32:09
  nice.
• 32:10
  What
• 32:10
  we
• 32:10
  actually
• 32:10
  need
• 32:10
  are
• 32:11
  practices
• 32:12
  teachers
• 32:12
  can
• 32:13
  use
• 32:13
  tomorrow
• 32:14
  to
• 32:14
  build
• 32:14
  this
• 32:14
  kind
• 32:14
  of
• 32:15
  classroom.
• 32:15
  And
• 32:15
  that's
• 32:15
  what
• 32:16
  Modern
• 32:16
  Classrooms
• 32:17
  Project
• 32:17
  tries
• 32:17
  to
• 32:18
  do.
• 32:18
  It
• 32:18
  says
• 32:19
  if
• 32:19
  you
• 32:19
  want
• 32:19
  to
• 32:20
  have
• 32:20
  a
• 32:20
  classroom
• 32:20
  where
• 32:21
  you
• 32:21
  can
• 32:21
  provide
• 32:21
  powerful
• 32:22
  student
• 32:22
  care,
• 32:22
  where
• 32:22
  you
• 32:23
  can
• 32:23
  sit
• 32:23
  down
• 32:23
  with
• 32:23
  your
• 32:23
  learners,
• 32:24
  it's
• 32:24
  not
• 32:25
  just
• 32:26
  talk
• 32:27
  and
• 32:27
  ideas.
• 32:28
  These
• 32:29
  are
• 32:29
  practices
• 32:30
  you
• 32:30
  can
• 32:30
  use.
• 32:30
  And
• 32:30
  I
• 32:30
  know
• 32:31
  those
• 32:31
  are
• 32:31
  practices
• 32:32
  that
• 32:32
  you
• 32:33
  all
• 32:33
  embody
• 32:34
  and
• 32:34
  share
• 32:34
  in

  your

  Try.
• 32:38
  Try
• 32:38
  making

  Try

  letting

  your

  students
• 32:41
  advance

  based

  Try

  strategies
• 32:46
  you
