jbretzmann Jan 10 @ 8:06 PM EST

I guess my #oneword for my personal life is "unbalanced" but I'm working on it. Kids are growing up too fast. #edprep

WinkelerD Jan 10 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1: My #oneword for my personal life would be "Routined". #edprep

WinkelerD Jan 10 @ 8:08 PM EST

I was trying to find that gif but was not able to find it fast enough! #edprep

There's always a chance to get balanced again. Just schedule kid time and get it done! #edprep

WinkelerD Jan 10 @ 8:15 PM EST

A2: I think my #oneword for my professional life is "persistent". I need to keep at different things and always continue to improve. #edprep

posickj - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2 #edprep

posickj - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:17 PM EST

I like that one. And persistent is a lot like routined. Keep the focus common. #edprep

In reply to @WinkelerD

WinkelerD Jan 10 @ 8:20 PM EST

indeed. I have been keeping the mindset that there's always room to improve, just need to be willing to work at it. #edprep

In reply to @posickj

A3 I rely on my family, my colleagues and students in school, my Twitter PLN, and my Voxer PLN. Post it and you'll be reminded. #edprep

Helps to make your #oneword public --more of a commitment #edprep

A4 I've got my one word posted in my office, on our school bulletin board, and on my blog. It's always somewhere to be remembered. #edprep

posickj - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:31 PM EST

Q4 How will you hold yourself responsible for your #oneword? #edprep

donald_gately Jan 10 @ 8:32 PM EST

I use a checklist everyday --- it's about what you DO --- more important than beliefs I think - ideas follow the actions #edprep

posickj - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:32 PM EST

I agree. Making your #oneword public really helps hold me more accountable. #edprep

In reply to @donald_gately

WinkelerD Jan 10 @ 8:32 PM EST

Q6 Having #oneword can be a focus for reflection. How do you reflect on your day? #edprep

posickj - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:51 PM EST

A6 I reflect on my daily run. I also use my blog to reflect. Here's my post about my #oneword priorities. https://t.co/LDkVWi10PJ #edprep

Q6 Having #oneword can be a focus for reflection. How do you reflect on your day? #edprep

WinkelerD Jan 10 @ 8:51 PM EST

A6: I usually sit at my desk, stare at the empty chairs and ask myself "would I have learned what I presented today?" #edprep

posickj - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:52 PM EST

Do you take notes or respond to your question? That would really help me. #edprep

In reply to @WinkelerD

WinkelerD Jan 10 @ 8:53 PM EST

.@posickj started with notes alone, but now its more internally answering and jotting down notes on what to fix for next semester. #edprep

In reply to @posickj

TedHiff Jan 10 @ 8:54 PM EST

A5. Some of our Character Connection Classes often set #oneword goals. #edprep

TedHiff Jan 10 @ 8:56 PM EST

A5. We have display boards. #edprep

posickj - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:58 PM EST

Q7 What topics would you like considered for our next #edprep on 1.24.17?

posickj - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:58 PM EST

I think displaying #oneword in a public place helps to celebrate individuality. #edprep
