Teacher Round Table Ep2: A New Hope Recording

We had discussions on a variety of topics for over an hour and a half and everyone loved the discussion.

We even got ZOOM BOMBED by a kid, but fortunately he wasn’t obscene so it was just a bit funny to have him there as we searched to kick him.
Here is the recording from our second Teacher Round Table: A New Hope.

A DOC to Rule them All

One thing we agreed on is the need to have a comprehensive source for best practices.  Many teachers shared their ideas and successes that having this can be used by any teacher seeing ideas.  Here’s the link to the doc and it will be populated by you to share with all.

A Culture Shift???

Matt brought up a very interesting observation on the topic of engagement, saying he’s seen a change in students for the past 2 years.  I said it’s post millennials so what do we call them?  I call them the Video Game Generation, where games were ubiquitous, affecting the way students consume information as affected by motivation.  Other teachers shared their strategies but we all agreed that next year it will be very difficult, even with the enhanced models in KP Compass.
I’ve been studying how video games affect students for the past decade.  Here is a lecture I gave to teachers last year on that concept.

We also spoke about working with farms and a few success stories that will help prepare teachers with food insecurity for her students.  Many more topics are covered.
 

Bi Monthly Meetings

We decided that this Round Table format is very important and informative so we are going to do it every 2 weeks. It’s almost like a podcast but instead of having one guest speak, we have a dozen or so.  I’m taking a survey on what are the best times for you.  So far 5 PM Eastern seems to work better than mornings.  Let me know what you think?
NEXT ONE JULY 14th!
 

Round Table Ep1: The Phantom Menace

Yeah, I know, very unoriginal name.  Looking for our first round table?  Here’s that meeting.  It’s a great listen to.

Podcasting?  Would it be of any interest?

I've been considering turning the video into audio pod casts.  Does anyone use podcasts?

KP Helps Teachers Navigate Online Teaching with Ease; First Month Into COVID-19 Lock-down

Image
During the COVID-19 crisis when the National State of Emergency was declared, KP Education Systems opened their doors and offered free access to their curriculum and learning system.  This made it easy for teachers to teach online with rigor and relevance.  One teacher wrote a heartfelt response to our efforts after using KP for 3 weeks.  Here’s her testimony. From Mrs. Solger, I am a third year Culinary Instructor in a rural town in Chipley, Florida.  I was enjoying and loving being in the classroom and in my “kitchens”. I literally almost fell to pieces when they said we wouldn’t be back.    How was I going to cover the standards that I had left to cover? We literally had nine more weeks of school left. A whole quarter of the year. Then, as I was flipping through posts on FB I found some information on KP Curriculum. I was hesitant because, well you know, the internet.  I continued reading and saw a lot of good reviews, so I filled out the...

Pandemic Year in Review: Teachers are Resilient and Resourceful

One year ago after finishing a normal week of school we head home only to receive the announcement that all schools will be closed for 2 weeks while we flatten the curve.  We prepared for 2 weeks of mitigation to our curriculum but changed to the end of the school year and into the next, but in the end we came out with new amazing skills that we would never have otherwise acquired. Being in education technology for the past 20 years in Culinary Arts and Hospitality I have seen the landscape of teaching change through the use of technology but nothing like what I have seen in the past year.  Instantly teachers banded together over social networks and with a generous attitude, shared ideas and ways to teach students remotely and make the best of an unprecedented situation and I feel that education as a whole benefited from this shakeup. For over 2 decades I firmly believe that technology needs to be integrated into our education system and not just used as a patchwork of tools. ...
