Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:08 PM EST

#isedchat A1: I was a teacher and now HoS to change kids' lives. As I've progressed it's also about changing family and community.

ckoos1 - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:08 PM EST

A1: I have wanted to be a teacher for as lon as I can remember. Feel like I can make a difference. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:09 PM EST

@BethRheingold A1. I teach bc I love being a part of a child's growth- supporting them, challenging them, getting to know them. #isedchat

skeeTX Mar 10 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1: I teach b/c I want to help Ss be their best selves. My Ts impacted me and I have felt a calling since high school. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:09 PM EST

When I became an admin and stopped teaching, I felt such a void in my life. #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:10 PM EST

For me teaching is always new. The kids help keep me young, too/ ;) #isedchat

mthayer_nj Mar 10 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1 I had a great math teacher in HS who inspired me to love the subject. Wanted to be that person. Degree of success uncertain. #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:10 PM EST

Marcy from CT. Good evening, everyone. Usually lurk, but, topic tonight seems interesting. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:10 PM EST

Needed to get back in the classroom- now I have two 4th grade math groups :) #isedchat

Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:10 PM EST

#isedchat love helping kids go down a virtuous path and have a innovative mindset required for future success!

skeeTX Mar 10 @ 9:10 PM EST

@lcarroll94 Can you teach an elective? #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:10 PM EST

@teachermrw Hi Marcy! Thanks for jumping in! :) #isedchat Welcome!

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:11 PM EST

@teachermrw Hi Marcy! So glad you're making a debut tonight! #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1 Why do I teach? I guess because I feel I am a difference. But some days, would rather be doing other things. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:11 PM EST

@skeeTX Yes! Now I do-- two math enrichment groups. Love it! #isedchat

Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:11 PM EST

#isedchat I started my EDU career as an #EdTech developer and shifted formally to K12 after MS and Ph.D. Program required field learning.

MooreMathMP Mar 10 @ 9:12 PM EST

#isedchat A1: I hope inspire kids to develop of love for learning, doing, and making a difference in another life.

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:12 PM EST

@Learn21Tech so what made the difference for you with teaching Ss? #isedchat

TyeJCampbell Mar 10 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: While I don’t teach much these days, I love education & working with Ts and Ss because of the amazing experiences I had as S #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:12 PM EST

@teachermrw What grade do you teach? #isedchat

skeeTX Mar 10 @ 9:12 PM EST

@lcarroll94 What took you to admin? Consider that route myself. Love interacting w/ Ss though. #isedchat

Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:12 PM EST

@teachermrw I think we all feel that way - teaching isn't easy! #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:13 PM EST

@lcarroll94 I teach Spanish - levels 1, 2 and 4. #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:13 PM EST

@TyeJCampbell Hi there Tye! the Ts we had as a kid--so impt. #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:13 PM EST

@lcarroll94 Middle and Upper School. #isedchat

MooreMathMP Mar 10 @ 9:13 PM EST

@teachermrw I decided to take a leap tonight as well! Joining a convo for the first time! #isedchat

TyeJCampbell Mar 10 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1 I left corp because I wanted to make a difference in the lives of others, not just fill the pockets of the corner office folks #isedchat

Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:14 PM EST

@BethRheingold more direct impact - quicker results, inspiring others.. Instant #empathy + desire to be a mentor #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:14 PM EST

@Learn21Tech True. But not just that. Some days I don't find it very intellectually stimulating. #isedchat

MooreMathMP Mar 10 @ 9:14 PM EST

@Learn21Tech @teachermrw TRUE STORY! Today was once of those days, but the positives in the day outweigh the trials. #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:14 PM EST

@MooreMathMP Congratulations. :) #isedchat

Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:14 PM EST

#isedchat always taught electives as an admin until this year. Have missed working with Ss as a HoS. Try to get in classrooms/mentoring.

skeeTX Mar 10 @ 9:15 PM EST

@MooreMathMP @teachermrw Welcome!!! Great place to be on Thurs nights. Good folks here! #isedchat

TyeJCampbell Mar 10 @ 9:15 PM EST

I’m sure we all can rattle of the names of the Ts who impacted our lives in tremendous ways - that’s who we have to be to Ss today #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:15 PM EST

@MooreMathMP @teachermrw so excited you did, Kevin! I joined this chat & became co-mod. Maybe you're next! #isedchat

MooreMathMP Mar 10 @ 9:15 PM EST

@Learn21Tech @BethRheingold Empathy was not a word I was educated on, but lived by through my own teachers. #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:15 PM EST

@TyeJCampbell what do you teach? #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:15 PM EST

Hi, @mthayer_nj ! I hope you're having a good year. #isedchat

mthayer_nj Mar 10 @ 9:16 PM EST

@teachermrw @Learn21Tech Seconded. Teaching requires plenty of emotional “give”, but not always enough intellectual challenge. #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:16 PM EST

next Q coming up in a few #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:16 PM EST

@mthayer_nj @Learn21Tech Right. Solving problems, mostly emotional, not very interesting to me. #isedchat

TyeJCampbell Mar 10 @ 9:17 PM EST

#isedchat this year I am leading our in-house robotics program, so I am teaching that with our 5th graders, along with another teacher

MooreMathMP Mar 10 @ 9:17 PM EST

@BethRheingold @teachermrw Maybe?! Always happy go on another adventure! #isedchat

skeeTX Mar 10 @ 9:17 PM EST

Got a validating email from a P today. Great shot in the arm. Ss and Ps know we can make a positive impact #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:17 PM EST

teaching can be demanding, but rewarding when a kid finally has that "a-ha." it's selfless work. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:17 PM EST

@teachermrw @Learn21Tech It's stimulating in a different way- no two days alike -critical thinking, problem-solving-- for me. #isedchat

Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:17 PM EST

@teachermrw @mthayer_nj see I love working thru emotional problems, advisory, etc. #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:17 PM EST

@mthayer_nj It's going okay. Lots of competing concerns outside of school. Just life...#isedchat

TyeJCampbell Mar 10 @ 9:18 PM EST

#isedchat being the Tech Director has made it a bit difficult to teach, but I think everyone should teach if they can - keeps perspective

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:18 PM EST

Q2: What has changed in the last 10 years that has improved the way we teach? #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:18 PM EST

@BethRheingold TWITTER and all of you! #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:19 PM EST

@lcarroll94 at my screen laughing. UR so right! #isedchat

skeeTX Mar 10 @ 9:19 PM EST

Started our school year w/ @crottymark asking WHY? Used golden circles to answer. Always great to know these answers for Ts #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:20 PM EST

@Learn21Tech @mthayer_nj I'm good at it all. In fact, I'm very good. Just takes too much time away from what I want to do: TEACH. #isedchat

Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:20 PM EST

#isedchat luckily administrators like @armb13 who supported me with trying out bold things and now I do the same for my Ts #isedchat

MooreMathMP Mar 10 @ 9:20 PM EST

@skeeTX I have a "smile file" of emails, cards.. from Ps, Ts, & Ss. Great opening every so often! My favorite is hearing from Ss. #isedchat

mthayer_nj Mar 10 @ 9:20 PM EST

@Learn21Tech @teachermrw I see that, and agree to an extent, but it’s not sufficient for me. #isedchat

skeeTX Mar 10 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2: global access and reach via tech has brought us all together collaboratively #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:20 PM EST

@skeeTX @crottymark can you explain golden circules? #isedchat

TyeJCampbell Mar 10 @ 9:20 PM EST

@Learn21Tech @armb13 Those who are inspired by others should aim to inspire others in the same way #isedchat

Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:21 PM EST

#isedchat the #makered, digital media and #CSforAll focus has been beneficial to use my skill set in last 10 yrs when few trained Ts

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:21 PM EST

@MooreMathMP @skeeTX I do that too! Started teaching 19 yrs ago--it's a big file! #isedchat

Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:21 PM EST

@teachermrw @mthayer_nj I respect that. We all have different passions #isedchat

skeeTX Mar 10 @ 9:22 PM EST

@BethRheingold @crottymark Explaining/differentiating the how v why and see overlapping intersections. Look at our mission too #isedchat

TyeJCampbell Mar 10 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2 cheaper and available tech has put information at our Ss fingertips - no longer have to say “go home and look this up” as much #isedchat

skeeTX Mar 10 @ 9:23 PM EST

A2: Putting career on hold for 5 years to just be dad adjusted my perspective as T and energized me when I returned. #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:23 PM EST

@mthayer_nj I do. Will be busy, spending time with my elderly parents, and brother. I enjoy them. Just don't have enough time. #isedchat

mthayer_nj Mar 10 @ 9:24 PM EST

@teachermrw @Learn21Tech I agree 100%. That’s the issue - I can do the softer stuff too, but the emotional drain can be wearing. #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:24 PM EST

@mthayer_nj I'll have two weeks. So, time to rest a bit. #isedchat

Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:24 PM EST

#isedchat if you can google it - don't think you should be lecturing Ss on it. Use time in class for Active Learning, PBL etc

crottymark Mar 10 @ 9:25 PM EST

@BethRheingold @skeeTX From Simon Sinek https://t.co/oK8nQKCOV2 #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:25 PM EST

@mthayer_nj @Learn21Tech It's because I work hard at it. And, it takes a lot out of me, because I'm an introvert. #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:25 PM EST

@crottymark @skeeTX going to check it out #isedchat

MooreMathMP Mar 10 @ 9:26 PM EST

#isedchat A2: Only have been teaching for 4 yrs, but I would say fellow Ts, Admins, Twitter, and a supportive family!

TyeJCampbell Mar 10 @ 9:26 PM EST

@BethRheingold @crottymark @skeeTX Just started reading the book a few hours ago! :-) #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:26 PM EST

@Learn21Tech @startgeek I love it when you post charts! #isedchat

skeeTX Mar 10 @ 9:26 PM EST

@BethRheingold @crottymark Also used it w/ 8th graders as an exercise in class a/b our picture of a graduate #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:27 PM EST

@MooreMathMP so key to teaching! #isedchat

Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:27 PM EST

@teachermrw @mthayer_nj I'm an extrovert so I got a lot out of reading A Quit Mind - did you identify with that? #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:27 PM EST

A2: Actually, not sure. Technology, I suppose. #isedchat

mthayer_nj Mar 10 @ 9:27 PM EST

@teachermrw @Learn21Tech Yup. I’ve realized over the last 15-20 years that I’m an introvert too. Explains much. #isedchat

MooreMathMP Mar 10 @ 9:27 PM EST

@skeeTX While I am not a parent, I am definitely curious how parenthood will change my perspective when the time comes. #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:27 PM EST

I grew up in WV (no jokes pls) & often think--if only I had Ts talk to me abuot study skills, character, comm service, etc! #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:28 PM EST

@Learn21Tech @mthayer_nj Not familiar with it. #isedchat

skeeTX Mar 10 @ 9:28 PM EST

@MooreMathMP You realize where Ss and their Ps are coming from more easily. #isedchat

mthayer_nj Mar 10 @ 9:28 PM EST

@Learn21Tech @teachermrw This is Susan Cain’s book, right? I’ve heard of it but not read it. #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:28 PM EST

@mthayer_nj @Learn21Tech I should have been a doctor... or an engineer. LOL! #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:29 PM EST

next Q coming up in 1...#isedchat

skeeTX Mar 10 @ 9:29 PM EST

My Ts at The Peddie School are the reason I wanted to become one myself. Eternally thankful for that experience 25 years ago! #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:29 PM EST

@MooreMathMP @skeeTX totally changes ur perspective! Things seemed a bit more black/white before, for me, now I understand gray! #isedchat

Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:30 PM EST

@MooreMathMP @skeeTX it's made a huge difference in my outlook on learning especially with LS Ss #isedchat

startgeek Mar 10 @ 9:30 PM EST

@BethRheingold @Learn21Tech I found #isedchat on this calendar for #edchat. Please explain #isedchat ? https://t.co/NbVUzLPRxx

@skeeTX @MooreMathMP I agree with Rob - my perspective changed significantly once I became a P and now I see myself a P to the Ss #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:30 PM EST

Q3. We often mention our Ts when we were Ss. So shat experiences do you draw from as a teacher that inspire you? #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:31 PM EST

@startgeek @BethRheingold @Learn21Tech It's a weekly chat for independent school educators-- all are welcome! #isedchat

skeeTX Mar 10 @ 9:32 PM EST

@TyeJCampbell @MooreMathMP Ts provide so much more than content deliverer! We are entrusted w/ the care of Ss. Massive job. #isedchat

MooreMathMP Mar 10 @ 9:32 PM EST

@skeeTX YES! My teachers are a large part of who I am today! I stil keep in touch w/ my 1st grade T. At my bdays, my wedding, etc #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:33 PM EST

Q3. We often mention our Ts when we were Ss. So what experiences do you draw from as a teacher that inspire you? #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:33 PM EST

A3: Not from any one teacher, really. Rather, from my parents. Learning, and knowledge, are infinite. Be curious, every day. #isedchat

MooreMathMP Mar 10 @ 9:33 PM EST

@skeeTX @TyeJCampbell I always, always, refer to my Ss as "my kids" or "my boys" (All boys school...) #isedchat

Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:34 PM EST

#isedchat A3: Dr. Z - freshman honors class in college. Different restaurant every week for night class to explore culture. #experiential

lcarroll94 - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:34 PM EST

@BethRheingold many of my teachers made an impact on me. I have known since 3rd gr that I wanted to be a teacher-thanks, Ms. Katz #isedchat

skeeTX Mar 10 @ 9:34 PM EST

A3: I recall how engaged my Ts/advisors were with me. I felt safe and taken care of. Want to do same for my Ss #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:34 PM EST

@MooreMathMP @skeeTX @TyeJCampbell always done the same too. We know ea other well, day in and out! I can read them like a book. #isedchat

jasonmkern Mar 10 @ 9:35 PM EST

A3 Funnily I reflect back on the teachers who made me uncomfortable and made me work hard which I hated at the time not favs #isedchat

skeeTX Mar 10 @ 9:35 PM EST

@MooreMathMP @TyeJCampbell And they are in many ways. School is family. #isedchat

Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:36 PM EST

#isedchat Dr. Z also ignited my passion for community based learning networks like we have at my school. https://t.co/6RXkA6VdV4

lcarroll94 - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:36 PM EST

@jasonmkern Oh! I remember them, as well. #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:36 PM EST

@jasonmkern hi there! thanks for popping in! I tell US kids I'm the teacher some will love after the fact #isedchat

MooreMathMP Mar 10 @ 9:36 PM EST

@skeeTX @TyeJCampbell Yes...a challenge is, How do we continue to keep schools as family? #isedchat

mthayer_nj Mar 10 @ 9:36 PM EST

A3 My best Ts were those who cared about their subject and were able to engage as many students as possible. I strive toward that. #isedchat

TyeJCampbell Mar 10 @ 9:36 PM EST

@BethRheingold @MooreMathMP @skeeTX One regret I have is that I haven’t spent enough time with Ss so far in my tenure #isedchat

Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:36 PM EST

@skeeTX I went to a huge public HS really didn't have an advisor or mentor inside of school but part of after-school program #isedchat

skeeTX Mar 10 @ 9:37 PM EST

The NUNS I had are unforgettable!!! #isedchat

jasonmkern Mar 10 @ 9:37 PM EST

I remember the teachers that I liked but not for the content I learned but for the time I spent with them #isedchat

@MooreMathMP @TyeJCampbell Maintain contact after Ss graduate. Social media helps when they're older. And be available if needed. #isedchat

jasonmkern Mar 10 @ 9:38 PM EST

@BethRheingold I tell my kids I'm there to make kids who play school like I did have a hard time and really learn #isedchat

MooreMathMP Mar 10 @ 9:38 PM EST

A3: The Ts that made me feel loved through teaching, caring, questioning, and treating my family as part of the class. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:38 PM EST

@skeeTX Mine, too, but in a very positive way. The order associated with my HS included amazing, strong women who taught us well ! #isedchat

skeeTX Mar 10 @ 9:38 PM EST

@jasonmkern Exactly. It's about relationships! #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:39 PM EST

@skeeTX @MooreMathMP @TyeJCampbell so rewarding! My FB is mostly students long graduated--one even has a baby now! #isedchat

TyeJCampbell Mar 10 @ 9:39 PM EST

Good point #isedchat https://t.co/pof8fmSECN

Mr. Bill Taft taught me Great Books & AP Art History. We got our PhDs at the same time, years later. He made me a thinker. #isedchat

jasonmkern Mar 10 @ 9:40 PM EST

@skeeTX while I totally agree that it's about relationships it's also about challenging. Ts I loved didn't result in learning #isedchat

ConsultJodi Mar 10 @ 9:40 PM EST

Get your alumni back on campus for volunteer work. #isedchat

jrosspeters Mar 10 @ 9:40 PM EST

As teachers we can get so caught up in what we need to say that we miss opportunities to hear our students #edchat #isedchat #listening

skeeTX Mar 10 @ 9:40 PM EST

@MooreMathMP @TyeJCampbell By revisiting why we do what we do! Perspective can get lost. #isedchat

skeeTX Mar 10 @ 9:41 PM EST

@jasonmkern Yes, challenge so they grow and build confidence. #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:41 PM EST

next Q coming up in 1... #isedchat

Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:42 PM EST

@jrosspeters agree - we must listen to Ss needs - build #empathy #stuvoice #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:42 PM EST

Is there another question coming up? #isedchat

MooreMathMP Mar 10 @ 9:42 PM EST

A3: Ts who took time to question life outside of the classroom...sports, musicals, family, etc. #isedchat

Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:42 PM EST

@jrosspeters I judge success of a day in class on how much I speak - more me = worse class #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:43 PM EST

Q4. What do you do to keep your teaching fresh? #isedchat

Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:44 PM EST

@jasonmkern @jrosspeters so true! #isedchat #HFAinnovates take note.

TyeJCampbell Mar 10 @ 9:44 PM EST

@Learn21Tech Love that! Co-designing learning leads to Ss taking ownership of their learning - starts with participation as base #isedchat

MooreMathMP Mar 10 @ 9:45 PM EST

@Learn21Tech Yes, scary! Often fun! I recently took my math class outside to take pics that made them think of math around campus. #isedchat

#isedchat A4: Twitter, academic journals, conferences - usually 4-6.

jasonmkern Mar 10 @ 9:45 PM EST

A4 I've never been able to teach the same way two years in a row - Ss in front of me change every year so does my approach #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:45 PM EST

A4: Reading. LOTS of reading. And, connecting with people outside of school who are teachers. #isedchat

skeeTX Mar 10 @ 9:45 PM EST

A4: listen to Ss, chat on Twitter, read, consider what they need going forward, not dwell in the past #isedchat

@Learn21Tech you are one busy lady! awesome! and I learn from you as a result! #isedchat

A4 Reading almost anything that doesn’t have to do with education. #isedchat

#isedchat A4: I recently challenged myself to write 250-500 words a day to reflect on whatever comes to mind...https://t.co/P8jw2vdLQE

A4 teaching economics allows for fresh current events to tie in daily teaching tech never stays the same - easy to stay fresh #isedchat

@BethRheingold recently did 1/2 day of #shadowastudent was awesome! #isedchat

@skeeTX I love that about the past. We R "on" every day. Most keep moving forward to best self and teacher ea day! #isedchat

I think #indyschool teachers need to keep a pulse on what happens in their local schools. Make adjustments as needed. #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:48 PM EST

And, I read no education books. I read history, science, sociology...#isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:48 PM EST

@mthayer_nj makes sense. I am ENG teacher but need my guilty pleasures to stay fresh too--TV & People mag. shhh #isedchat

jasonmkern Mar 10 @ 9:49 PM EST

.@Learn21Tech @BethRheingold shadowing a S is EXHAUSTING - gives you a true appreciation of what we ask Ss to do #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:49 PM EST

@jasonmkern @Learn21Tech head of my school does that 1x a year. #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:50 PM EST

I agree. Too many independent school teachers don't think local school community is relevant. #isedchat https://t.co/zynstwJqWN

@teachermrw I mix it up 2 non school or business to 1 #isedchat

Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:50 PM EST

@teachermrw @tompanarese respectfully disagree - kids in my school do crave and often need this. Schools are different. #isedchat

jasonmkern Mar 10 @ 9:50 PM EST

@BethRheingold @Learn21Tech we've done it twice a year the last two years #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:50 PM EST

@MooreMathMP I love that! & if you model that for Ss, they will be inspired #isedchat

MooreMathMP Mar 10 @ 9:51 PM EST

@Learn21Tech We piloted Knewton. Challenging. More work needed on how to incorporate it into math development. #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:51 PM EST

@jasonmkern I find that most education books say the same thing. Not very interesting intellectually for me. #isedchat

jasonmkern Mar 10 @ 9:52 PM EST

@teachermrw to be honest I read more business/leadership books than education #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:52 PM EST

it seems like our own Ts, our Ss, having outlets, and staying involved keep us fresh! #isedchat

skeeTX Mar 10 @ 9:52 PM EST

Thx all! My 8 year old wants to play PS4. He's on spring break this week while I'm not! #isedchat

Q5. What's 1 thing you would say to inspire someone who is thinking about teaching?#isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:53 PM EST

@jasonmkern I read lots of books about history, sociology, critical race theory...#isedchat

ConsultJodi Mar 10 @ 9:53 PM EST

I think that #indyschool teachers are sometimes a sleep at the wheel, and the local public school may be a better product. #isedchat

jasonmkern Mar 10 @ 9:54 PM EST

@skeeTX FIFA! #isedchat

Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:55 PM EST

@BethRheingold are you persistent? Can you be patient, build empathy? Keep learning + have a #growthmindset if not, don't be a Ts #isedchat

jasonmkern Mar 10 @ 9:55 PM EST

@teachermrw i have to bounce from thoughtful to page turner each time or I have trouble reading #isedchat

MooreMathMP Mar 10 @ 9:55 PM EST

YIKES!! Q5 is tough! Need some time to really think about this one...these are the best type of questions. #isedchat

@Learn21Tech good advice, as always Lisa! #isedchat

@ConsultJodi not my personal experience good teachers in both but I would take Indy on average #isedchat

Learn21Tech Mar 10 @ 9:56 PM EST

#isedchat teaching isn't easy / don't do it for the summers off.

mthayer_nj Mar 10 @ 9:57 PM EST

A5 Think about it very carefully. What do you hope to accomplish? What sort of life do you want? #isedchat

ConsultJodi Mar 10 @ 9:57 PM EST

@teachermrw You have to know the product and know it well. #isedchat

jasonmkern Mar 10 @ 9:57 PM EST

A5 go into teaching because you want to inspire Ss to be better humans not because you love learning yourself #isedchat

teachermrw Mar 10 @ 9:58 PM EST

A5: Honestly, I am not sure. Esp. if the person is African American. Would probably encourage them to do something else. #isedchat

@ConsultJodi I agree. #isedchat

MooreMathMP Mar 10 @ 9:58 PM EST

A5: How many kids do you want? Are you ready to support hundreds of Ss in their education, social and emotional development, etc? #isedchat

ConsultJodi Mar 10 @ 9:59 PM EST

@jasonmkern I think it depend on the school, assets, programs, faculty, etc. #isedchat
