CHitch94 May 19 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2) Probably overambitious in some lessons & need to differentiate more. #sstlap

A2 Not successfully implementing socrative seminar, Ss weren't ready for it so I abandoned it for traditional current evnts pres #sstlap

amcrowe5 May 19 @ 9:19 PM EDT

MrsRicklis May 19 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@Braz74 It's a structure that works only when implemented consistently. Learning the structure detracted from quality of discussion #sstlap

amcrowe5 May 19 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@MrBarry628 yeah, haven't been in block for a few years, got to get used to them again, better time everything #sstlap

khurdhorst May 19 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@Braz74 I tried to do @Seesaw but it was VERY hard when I wasn't 1:1 with anything. So, I had to abandon that. #sstlap

A7) Because I love helping Ss learn and grow. Seeing them make connections & really become active learners is so awesome! #sstlap

MrsRicklis May 19 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A7 I want others to value history as much as I do. #sstlap

khurdhorst May 19 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@Braz74 I teach because I love learning. I also realize that these kiddos will be running my nursing home. #sstlap #gettingreal A7

Braz74 - Moderator May 19 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A7 because i have 3 months with nothing to do but eat bon bons and catch up on soaps - sorry that is what I hear others say about Ts #sstlap

Ryan7Read May 19 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A7: Because I love helping both Ts and Ss learn and understand and grow as learners and educators. #sstlap

STLinOK May 19 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A7: I don't this the world would tolerate my goofy self doing anything else ;P Really - those Ss inspire me to be better #sstlap

amcrowe5 May 19 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@Braz74 told mine halfway through, they've done work that's "meant" for honors class. Could see some thinking this aint so tough #sstlap

mrgfactoftheday May 19 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Because I want to impact the world in a positive way & the best way to do that is develop our future leaders #sstlap https://t.co/SYTJIyLCmq

A7 Because I love getting to know Ss and getting them excited about learning history! Feel lucky I get to talk about it all day! #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator May 19 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A7 I want to be a positive energy in the lives of others- to push education practice to be better and ss to have choice & voice #sstlap

mhoeckelman May 19 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A7. I love impacting the future, in 18 years I have now taught lawyers, Drs, nurses, teachers and I planted the seeds #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator May 19 @ 9:54 PM EDT

yes -- sell them on how great they are and they will do more- tell them they can't do and they fulfill/FAIL #sstlap https://t.co/WgmG8wM5uj

Q8 #sstlap Open the Doors - Will the students come running to be part of our school and class? https://t.co/X760oJhT9E

CHitch94 May 19 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@amcrowe5 I have said that so many times. I don't know how to do anything else. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator May 19 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@CHitch94 yeah - never had a summer off- always write/rewrite lessons- learn- collaborate- learn- revise activities - reflect #sstlap

CHitch94 May 19 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@Braz74 Mmmm hmmmm. People who think teachers don't work in the summer don't really know any teachers. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator May 19 @ 9:56 PM EDT

let's make sure they know what they are doing or we are all doomed!!! #sstlap https://t.co/b9O68KQfU6

I'm out everyone. Great chat. See everyone later and have a great Friday. #sstlap

Meems852 May 19 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A8 I got the best compliment from a Ss today! He said he loves coming to my room because he knows I actually care about all of them! #sstlap

amcrowe5 May 19 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@CHitch94 same, even on my worst days, still can't think of any other job/career I'd rather have #sstlap #maybehighersalarythough

CHitch94 May 19 @ 9:58 PM EDT

A8) Because they know I care - about the content, about learning, and (most importantly) about them. #sstlap

MrsKannekens May 19 @ 9:59 PM EDT

So true! My family would also agree. #sstlap https://t.co/biaVzAiIDM

MrsRicklis May 19 @ 9:59 PM EDT

A8 They run when they know they're coming to do or make smthng when they have a say in what they learn vs just sitting & listening, #sstlap

STLinOK May 19 @ 9:59 PM EDT

A8: "U talk WITH us" "U are real with us" "U make it interesting, even the boring parts" (this one's after my heart) #sstlap

Ryan7Read May 19 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@CHitch94 bye. #sstlap
