Thrive 19 - Quicks note to change student's decision

A student is not interested in coming down for the meeting to discuss the need to change his behaviour.
What does not works
-telling a student that meeting is important and who are attending
-having an agenda
-parents asking students to attend
-offering to have a separate session to discuss the importance
What works
-changing agenda to show the need and concern and to provide voice
-call to explain that the meeting is constructive and not corrective in the feedback to be given
constructive - feedback + strategies to close the expectation gap
corrective - feedback as information of undesirable behaviour
- articulate the teacher's belief in the student
- believe in teachers that a process (series of actions) is needed to change one decision.

It is more of checking for understanding rather than facilitating self-reflecting as a class community.

When they are directed to evaluate their first attempt of sketching from observation using rules (isometric or perspective rule). All followed my instructions to improve. However, a 3 uses correction ta...

My reflection with AI about the STEM project

 I have just completed a STEM workshop with my students. I would like to reflect about this workshop to any of you. ChatGPT That sounds great, Joon Yong! How did the workshop go? What activities did you and your students work on, and what were some key moments or challenges you encountered? 4o We are working on building a chair using a cardboard. The requirement is to be able to withstand three kilos of weight, and also have a leg that is 15 cm long. However, based on my knowledge about knowledge building, I decided for them to make a wheelchair that the humans can sit on. ChatGPT It sounds like you extended the challenge to make it more engaging and relevant. How did your students respond to the new requirement of designing a wheelchair? Did they come up with any innovative ideas or encounter any specific difficulties? 4o Indeed, the outcome surprises us. Everyone is game to attempt, and all the groups have come up with a real-size chat at the end of the day. ChatGPT That's impres...
