    A4 Anyone who thinks #oklaed hasn't seen innovation in 150 years isn't paying attention. We're more innovative & student-centered than ever.
  • PrincipalNyberg Dec 11 @ 9:31 PM EST
    #oklaed A4: In some of my classes, they may have an argument. But, I'd invite them to my school anyway. They might be surprised.
  • dena_rogers Dec 11 @ 9:31 PM EST
    A4 - innovation requires funding sources. The gov’t funds all kinds of research for the future, but nothing that is best for kids #oklaed
  • mrsaj4 Dec 11 @ 9:31 PM EST
    A4: it is about people not programs, put quality people in a position to be successful and success will be found #oklaed

    A4: It's a true statement. We own some responsibility for that. Yet, bigger cause is regulations & test-based accountability. #oklaed

  • dougeb00 Dec 11 @ 9:31 PM EST
    There are innovators out there that get intimidated by admins stuck on test results #oklaed I tell my staff it's OK to innovate.
  • okjoan Dec 11 @ 9:31 PM EST
    That statement is a cop-out and shows the authors ignorance or acquiescence to someones else's view. #oklaed
  • jlreed2011 Dec 11 @ 9:31 PM EST
    A4) Innovation is happening everyday in our classrooms. The change needs to include public preception and freedom to try need ideas. #oklaed

    A4. This burns. We do have technology as well as other implementations. However, business is still screwing people over #oklaed
  • KatieKinder1 Dec 11 @ 9:32 PM EST
    A4: it's wrong. We innovate with almost nothing. We have evolved past straight rows & worksheets. Come in my class any day 2 see #oklaed
  • ChrisParadise Dec 11 @ 9:32 PM EST
    A4) I invite them to my classroom! Oddly, they never accept. #OklaEd
  • mrsmcreading Dec 11 @ 9:32 PM EST
    A4) The SYSTEM hasn't. Innovation=revolutionary change. BUT Ts, classrooms, curr, etc. have. Sadly we're a part of the system too. #oklaed
  • ardaughty Dec 11 @ 9:32 PM EST
    A3) I love crash courses but everyone doesn't learn that way. That's one of the root problems in education, 1 way education. #oklaed

  • TeachFromHere Dec 11 @ 9:32 PM EST

    A4 Ts have been innovating daily for at least that long. Perhaps our "leaders" should start listening to them... #oklaed
  • lindahaslerreid Dec 11 @ 9:33 PM EST
    A4: Hmm? Hybrid instruction. Flipped classrooms. 1:1 instruction. College credit courses. Student-led instruction. Need I continue? #oklaed

    Although single letter grades do not indicate it #cpsreds teachers are very innovative and creative #oklaed
  • drewprice11 Dec 11 @ 9:33 PM EST
    a4: Lots of hurdles getting in the way of significant innovations - hard to take risks - in a culture of fear w/out support #oklaed
  • ardaughty Dec 11 @ 9:33 PM EST
    A3 cont. Majority of the Ts are old school. We keep leaving them behind because they can't catch on as fast as we did. #travesty #oklaed
  • MPSTechnology Dec 11 @ 9:33 PM EST
    A4: Bull-hockey pucks! lack of innovation is only due to lack of inspiration & imagination. Lots of past/present Ts have both. #oklaed
  • grendelrick Dec 11 @ 9:33 PM EST
    A4b #oklaed To be fair, the standardized testing obsession has stymied creativity and innovation. We could do better.
  • wfryer Dec 11 @ 9:33 PM EST
    A4 Education & learning writ large (bigger than formal systems) is currently undergoing the largest systemic change since Gutenberg #oklaed
  • nancy_nwilliams Dec 11 @ 9:33 PM EST
    A4 I disagree with that. Things have changed so much in the teaching of rd based on research. We should always rely on best methods #oklaed
  • camidellinger Dec 11 @ 9:34 PM EST
    A4 - This statement is totally false or they should go visit classrooms. Innovation is the name of the game now! #oklaed
  • shanjack14 Dec 11 @ 9:34 PM EST
    @jcbjr #OklaEd A4: Not true. Education has firmly changed with the times. This is true even if the system does still need improvement.
    In reply to @jcbjr
  • TeachFromHere Dec 11 @ 9:34 PM EST
    but has the system we are under changed much? For sure we are more connected - but are we using those connections? #oklaed

  • msbrookebauman Dec 11 @ 9:34 PM EST
    A4 innovating doesn't always have to come at a price. small changes can make all the difference! #oklaed
  • MeganAckman Dec 11 @ 9:34 PM EST
    A4: If you don't think the way students learn or how teachers teach r different than they were 150 years ago, u need to open ur eyes #oklaed

  • lsmellott Dec 11 @ 9:35 PM EST
    #oklaed A4: I know the ELA Task Force created innovative curriculum last summer along with Ts across the state using the new ELA standards.

  • MrTrent13 Dec 11 @ 9:35 PM EST
    A4 - Some aspects look the same as 150 years ago - the important ones don't. Like comparing a Model T to a Corvette #oklaed

    A4: So much has changed in that last 150 years. One being Ss learn differently now so T's are being more innovated on their teaching #oklaed
  • thnorfar Dec 11 @ 9:36 PM EST
    Some structures no. But that is the case for all systems. Its because people can’t take a lot of change. #oklaed

    A4 We need to do much more work celebrating/amplifhying innovation & innovators in our classrooms. Both inside & outside our schools #oklaed
  • ardaughty Dec 11 @ 9:38 PM EST
    A4. Truth. If we (educators) actually reflected, we'd see some sad truths to it but then that messes up the system in place. #oklaed

    A8) I think that is as unique as each S is. Funding is a start but the actions that the $$ feeds will be a tough choice. #oklaed

  • ardaughty Dec 11 @ 10:15 PM EST
    A8. I would switch Ts with the legislation (house/Senate). Allow them to teach the C-F schools for 1 month under stress. #oklaed
  • ardaughty Dec 11 @ 10:15 PM EST
    A8 cont. Or have them teach these last few days before winter break! It would be STRAIGHT UP COMEDY!!!!!! #oklaed
  • ardaughty Dec 11 @ 10:16 PM EST
    A8. Imagine secret cameras around like the show Undercover Boss. We all know 80% of them would quit before lunch. #oklaed
  • ardaughty Dec 11 @ 10:19 PM EST
    A8 cont. Imagine them talking to that one parent who "sets it off" because of xxxx xxx and she never believes the Ts but her kid. #oklaed
  • ardaughty Dec 11 @ 10:20 PM EST
    A8 cont. Or Lil Johnny who's Tier 3 and doesn't qualify for an IEP or the kid who absolutely needs meds but can't get it #oklaed
  • ardaughty Dec 11 @ 10:20 PM EST
    A8 cont. Or those 11:59pm emails stating that the 18 pg report is now due at 8am #oklaed
  • ardaughty Dec 11 @ 10:21 PM EST
    A8 cont. Or them teaching at "that school" no one wants to teach and can't find any subs, emergency Ts or even TFA to go there? #oklaed
  • ardaughty Dec 11 @ 10:22 PM EST
    A8 cont. Or having 35 elementary Ss in 1 class too small because classes weren't built to hold over 25?#oklaed
  • ardaughty Dec 11 @ 10:23 PM EST
    A8 cont. Or them not having a restroom break all day because policy says "don't leave kids unattended"? #oklaed
  • ardaughty Dec 11 @ 10:24 PM EST
    A8 cont. Yep, just imagine them having unnecessary paperwork and learning new initiatives for 1/3 the semester then changing #oklaed.
