My bad. Q3. correction #oklaed pic.twitter.com/p9aVFJmaWO

A3: Failure is only final for quitters. Failing is a valuable part of the learning process, we've all failed at some point. #oklaed

— Steve Gilliland (@Stv_Gilliland) September 25, 2017

A3: to Ss failure=grades, rather than the pursuit of trying different ways to achieve a given outcome. Need to chang the narrative. #oklaed

Q4. #oklaed pic.twitter.com/Nkv54EyASh

#OklaEd A4: Oh no, it can & should happen in schools, STARTING WITH ENTREPRENEURIAL LEARNING (self-controlled) – but facilitate, not teach! https://t.co/sVkBtuBzEK

— John Bennett (@jcbjr) September 25, 2017

Schools should definitely teach entrepreneurship. I think the #GeniusHour mode is a great way to make an entrepreneurship lab #Oklaed https://t.co/o6BsDsZ7eR

Alright folks Q5. #oklaed pic.twitter.com/tfKgnRPQFS

— Mr. J Real Talk (@mrjrealtalk) September 25, 2017

I would encourage them to do both. But if not feasible I would evaluate their plan & give honest feedback. If good enough then yes. #Oklaed https://t.co/br4x1lavq3

A5) College isn't the be-all, end-all for every S. It's our job 2 prepare our Ss 2 b college ready but also encourage their passions #oklaed

Alright folks let's get back to it. Q6. #oklaed pic.twitter.com/KeMio7wQZd

— Mr. J Real Talk (@mrjrealtalk) September 25, 2017

A6: Tradition says electives. Tradition may be part of the problem in my opinion. Education can't be prepackaged for everyone. #oklaed

— Steve Gilliland (@Stv_Gilliland) September 25, 2017

A6) It should be integrated into the everyday classroom. If it were integrated cross-curricular it would be really beneficial. #oklaed

A7: "We can't teach entrepreneurship in #oklaed! How do you standardize test that" said a current #okleg member

— Dr. Jason James (@James409Jason) September 25, 2017

A7 I would not change what I do. But I will change a part of what I do. I will explore ways to incorporate it into my classroom. #oklaed

Moving on to Q8. #oklaed and in your answer please give a brief explanation to why you agree or disagree pic.twitter.com/hY4U1upkeC

— Mr. J Real Talk (@mrjrealtalk) September 25, 2017

a8) it depends on what we mean by entr-rship & the scope of what we are teaching.u can teach perseverence, but not competitiveness #oklaed

— Mr Hartford (@HartfordJimmy) September 25, 2017

A8: Agree! Some ppl have that instinct and others don’t. You can learn more on how to expand it, but you can’t learn how to have it. #oklaed https://t.co/mR260HHEGI

— Rachel Terry (@rachterry1006) September 25, 2017

Favorite question and why?

Erin:  Question 4 – Should schools have a role in teaching entrepreneurship or is it something best learned outside the classroom?

Scott:  Question 8 – “A school can teach about entrepreneurship, but it is far from certain that a school can teach a person to be an entrepreneur?” Agree or disagree?
