My 3rd grade GT students are currently working on a project that involves improving behavior in the cafeteria. They are focusing on two separate things: noise in the cafeteria and messiness in the cafeteria. From one of their systems thinking books, they learned that it can help to solve a problem by looking at others who don’t have that problem. They would like to hear from administrators from schools around the world to learn what works.
The students came up with some questions. We are using a tool called Flipgrid to collect video responses to the questions. (If this works, I will publish a post about this unique tool next week!) The reason we are asking administrators to respond rather than other students is partly due to the privacy concerns with video and also because we would like a different perspective.
Here’s how you can help:
Easiest way – Send the link to this post to any elementary school administrator you know.
Even better – If you are an administrator, click on one or both of the links below, and submit your video answers to all of the questions on that grid. The links should also work on mobile devices, so if you want to actually show your cafeteria (without students) that would be awesome. And send this post to any other administrators you think may be willing to give us a hand.

If you could help us out as soon as possible, we would greatly appreciate it. And if you would like me to share your Twitter handle on my follow-up post, please feel free to include it in your video!
