How do we honor the teacher\u2019s voice?","Handle":"inundated_with_initiatives._how_do_we_honor_the_teacher-s_voice","ShortDescription":"New initiatives can inspire and burden teachers. When we try to do what\u2019s best for students, do we lose sight of what\u2019s best for teachers? We will introduce our district\u2019s Innovation Incubator group, explain how it empowers teachers, and pose questions about what\u2019s next.","Description":"In an effort to address various issues and allow teachers opportunity to experiment, our district created an Innovation Incubator last year. We will describe the group\u2019s inception, the application of Design Thinking, and will share our progress. We will also explain an unintended consequence: the positive effect on teachers\u2019 feelings of efficacy and motivation. As a group we will explore what else we can do to honor teachers\u2019 voices.","Link":["https:\/\/docs.google.com\/presentation\/d\/1I8bsjDVFI-6grrmvr5ezxEj-2O6er1HY9RuQXHyKyvI\/edit?usp=sharing"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"Engage in a collaborative discussion protocol","Presenter":["Amy Gorzynski","Amy Stolarsky"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Leyden High Schools"],"PresenterEmail":["agorzynski@leyden212.org","astolarsky@leyden212.org"],"ScheduleSlotID":63,"ScheduleLocationID":7,"SubmitterID":4820,"AdditionalComments":null,"LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":5}}
