A4 Use HOPE as the filter and foundation of learning. Allow for students to feel capable of reaching objectives, of feeling safe to try and fail, to build solutions that have impact. There needs to be mutual trust and a way to create a better relationship.

Q4 How can you add building HOPE to further support critical thinking in your classroom / school?
#BuildHOPEedu
A3 Teachers need to invite parents to participate in the learning. Invite students with learning that asks for support (through questions, discussions, other) with parents/grandparents/guardians. Share mini escape rooms, challenges for families. Fun & partnership.

A2 I love to do assessments differently. I ask students to participate in oral tests (vs. written tests); I ask them to create questions, rather than only answer them; I ask them to teach a topic or explain with a video to demonstrate learning/understanding.

Q2 What kind of assessments help support and encourage thinking critically for students?
#BuildHOPEedu
A1 I support critical thinking by using & creating materials to help support students' abilities to question what they see & hear. I try to tie in real world issues, conflicts to allow Ss to create meaningful connections between learning & the world.
