had no idea there were so many twitter collaborations for teachers. Any others?? #musedchat #mpln #elemchat #edchat

Thanks edchat folks. This was my first time in your sandbox. I’ll be back :) #edchat
@stumpy6653 Excellent! Congrats. Is it a combo of the two gigs or your old one?
@BrianStPierre we spent an entire year collaborating on how to better collaborate. And ended up nowhere. WASTE. #edchat
RT @BrianStPierre: @gregkulowiec yes but they tell us what to collaborate on… & it is often nonsense || Yes, too much nonsense. #edchat
@edtechdhh we have a modified block with collaboration scheduled in. It works, but you def need ind. prep! #edchat
RT @cybraryman1: @NMHS_Principal Please mention to #edchat the collaborations you did with your students - YES, we all should
@Becky_Ellis_ Yes - this would be great. I’ve been pushing for it & it may happen this year. #edchat
@LRIM_loakvik interesting concept. #edchat
@LRIM_loakvik I’m there showing support. I find it mostly a waste of time, though. #edchat
RT @berkshirecat: Collaboration need not take place in real time. Social networks (as we know) allow for asynchronous sharing. YES!! #edchat
Online collaboration with other music teachers is much more useful. #musedchat #edchat
We have weekly collaboration time, but as the only band teacher, I find it a waste of time. #edchat

@gb1191 um, I believe that’s the alarm. Maybe you should go see if someone is stealing it and/or turn off the alarm.

RT @JaworskiMusic: @rlinv As the research says, praise of effort (not talent) is the important part. #MusEdChat
RT @ColinTGraham: encouraging responsibility fr each section as a gp can be powerful, peer pressure etc., and leaders can emerge #MusEdChat
RT @pisanojm: if you have Ss leadership, the goal is not to have a “click” of elites, but a “cadre” of servants of the group. #MusEdChat
@rlinv Yes, this unsolicited input is often an indicator of who the leaders are! #MusEdChat
@DoremiGirl Yes! reminders…, but this sort of ldrship molds them into the great young people your HS director will love you 4! #MusEdChat
At the MS level, the leaders need to be much more closely mentored by the teacher to overcome immaturity issues. #MusEdChat
@thomasjwest Yes, it certainly happens - but I think more often a group that is enthusiastic will work hard and become successful #MusEdChat
@Zweibz7 Skype Band? #MusEdChat
@Zweibz7 I don’t think these things are mutually exclusive. High quality ensembles should be naturally enthusiastic. #MusEdChat
RT @pisanojm: You can assess leadership effectiveness by judging enthusiasim, excitment, as well as goal obtainment. #musedchat #MusEdChat
Great ? Often becomes so cause of their positive behavior RT @brandtschneider: is leadership the kid we like the best? #musedchat
@LindsayMorelli I’ve done both although I lean toward private. Time becomes an issue, usually though. #musedchat
Life is about winning and losing and growing in character through both. I think music teaches this well. #musedchat
Absolutely! Section leader isn’t 1st ch.RT @pisanojm: Sometimes the best players ARE NOT the best leaders in a group. #musedchat
I don’t live somewhere with the luxury of “musical” substitute teachers. My lesson plans always direct specific students to lead #musedchat
@LindsayMorelli student led ensembles are great thing. That’s when you know you’ve done your job! #musedchat
@LindsayMorelli in an educational setting - absolutely! #musedchat
@Zweibz7 Elected position for “band president”, “social director” - things like that. Appointed for section leaders, etc. #musedchat
I do elected positions that are more “fun” and/or political in nature.Appointed positions for those requiring a certain skill set #musedchat
@rlinv do you run that at your school or send them away? #musedchat
I haven’t run into too many students who wish to lead, that don’t have leadership potential. Problem kids will avoid it. #musedchat
Student leaders take ownership of the ensemble and it’s success #musedchat
Aside from the benefits to & within the ensemble, student leadership is a huge benefit 2 the individual student’s personal growth #musedchat
For the next hour-plus, my tweets will be directed towards our weekly chat about teaching music. Join us tonight! #MusEdChat #fb
