MOOC-Ed: Learning Differences: Internalizing Habits of Mind

Consider whether one of the following activities might work well for your colleagues and context during a regularly scheduled staff/department/PLC meeting.

1. Host a group / PLC viewing of the video Wyatt's Story. As a group, reflect upon the following questions and discuss:
   
   
   • What did you gain from watching this video?
   • Do you have any students similar to Wyatt?
2. Take some time to reflect on your experiences in the Learning Differences MOOC-Ed. Discuss your "Aha!" Moments and your reflections for strategies you plan to use in the future. 
   
   
3. Before the PLC group meets, each team member should come prepared with his or her mantra and a quick explanation for it.
   
   
• Take turns presenting your mantra. Provide reactions or additional thoughts for each other.
  
• Identify overarching themes and create a shared team vision/ mantra. 
  
• Use Canva or another similar tool to create an image you can proudly display in your classrooms, in your hall, with parents, and even through social media!
