A5: I struggle w/this from time to time. Remembering to have a grateful heart helps. Lifting others up really keeps me from sinking into the pit. Remembering that we all have our own flavor to bring to the mix & that what I have to bring no one else can! #OrEdChat#BeTheWildCard
A5 I just refocus to my work with my own Ss. If there's something else great that someone's doing how could I use/adapt that to help my Ss. It's all about the kids! #oredchat
✨A4: My co-teacher & I did a small scale Teen Lit Olympics last year. We totally leveled it up this year w/ a room transformation & playing more on team work (students formed countries). We focus on a skill each week and the assessment involves a kinesthetic activity! #OrEdChat
A5: To not fall into the comparison trap, I have a PLN who I trust deeply. They share their failures with me and I feel safe sharing mine. No need to compare ourselves, we are all learning together. Also why compare when you can laugh together. #OrEdChat
A5 Edging away from comparison and seriously evaluating helps me. The most amazing educators are constantly analyzing what works and how others accomplished more. Also- @JonGordon11 Attitude of Gratitude! #OrEdChat
A5: Use the research. If what I am doing is right for my kids, I do it. Being one of the most veteran teachers on staff, I tend to be the instigator of new things. I share the research. #OrEdChat
Q5: This question can be a struggle. I personally like the comparison of results. It helps me know who to ask for help! But other teachers get resentful when others are lifted up. It is hard to be around that atmosphere. #oredchat
A5: I try to surround myself with positive people. My PLN is a noncompetitive encouraging group of awesome educators. They challenge me to be my best for my Ss. No time for comparison! #OrEdChat#BeTheWildCard
