A1: To be genuinely caring - when you care, your students feel that an are more willing to learn and take direction

Welcome Wendy! Glad you are here!
Welcome, Wendy! Just tweeted Q2! RT Hello All! Wendy Henderson from Limestone County Schools
A2 If you think the job is a drag, it will be a drag. One anchor can slow a ship to a halt.
A1: Being able to connect with ur students and push them to become all that they can be
Absolutely! RT Passion should be the root of all we do. Life is too short for us and for our students.

Q2: What role does Self-Fulfilling Prophecy play in being an effective teacher?
Welcome, Brian! Glad you're here! Just tweeted Q2.
I've got that quote displayed in my office! RT A2 if you think you can or you think you can't, you're 100% right
A2- perception is a students reality. effective teachers don't let labels limit their student's success!
A2 Focus on the positive, negativity and negative attention will consume reources and time.
A2 Believing in yourself as a T & your Ss abilities to learn, create the environment for success. Model the traits u want for Ss
A1: being able to build relationships and being understanding of your students
A2: Whatever we believe about our Ss, that's what they will live up to. Same for ourselves.
Should be but the reality is sometimes we use the skills to pay the bills. then what? https://t.co/MBp3MGhhtX
Passion should be the root of all we do. Life is too short for us and for our students.
A2: If a teacher sets expectations for themselves, they'll feel a need to fulfill them. Having goals as a teacher is important!
A2: when you believe that you can be the change in the educational system and that you can teach in a revolutionary way, you will
BOOM! RT A2- perception is a students reality. effective teachers don't let labels limit their student's success!
A2 I go do PD all over the system. There is always at least one telling me "it won't work." If they think that they're right.
You get what you expect. Great teachers have high expectations of their students and higher expectations of themselves.
A2: It's important that the expectations Ts have for their Ss are communicated...set the stage and they will perform
Ss will rise to your expectations.
Yep! Gotta leave the negative thoughts/vibes/moods at the door! Don't bring them into the classroom!
Great thought! https://t.co/8tXy5GRwe4
A2: when you believe that you can be the change in the educational system and that you can teach in a revolutionary way, you will
A2: similar to parents that tell students they are "bad at math". Eventually those words take root. Believe that students can.
A2..set high standards&expectations for myself as a teacher. Hopefully it will be contagious with Ss , rise above the barriers
A1: Teachers that love to share their subject, have students that love the class
A2: same goes for Ss. They generally rise to high expectations even when they “don’t want to”.
***** Q3 coming up in 1 minute ******
A2: Having high expectations for yourself as a teacher and for students is important in reaching their full potential!
Q3: Describe what "meeting students where they are" looks like in an effective teacher's classroom.
Passion is contagious. so is negativity. https://t.co/uXZ2C3onG8
A1: Teachers that love to share their subject, have students that love the class
Usually! As a former chem teacher, not all students loved it. (They learned 2 appreciate it! Like a good workout...) :-)
A2 Belief mindset, growth mindset, for both Ts & Ss, create the ultimate learning environment
A1: Diagnose/Prescribe/Monitor -- social needs, academic needs, emotional needs.
A3: Again, you must first know your students in order to know what they need. Meeting those needs looks different for every kid.
Yes! Take whatever path is necesssary to get your students there! https://t.co/GsOg8YUXbK
Amen, sometimes Ts have to take the unplanned path to get there, but they never stop believing in their Ss
A3: All Ss are different and so are their needs. There is no one size fits all or even one size meets most. Every S every day!
Probably the hardest thing that a Tt will do. U have2 know them to meet them then b willing to do sum diff https://t.co/2UxQcAFFfx
Q3: Describe what "meeting students where they are" looks like in an effective teacher's classroom.
A3: What it is not is using the same lesson plans year after year!
A3: What is fair - differentiate, create centers, provide opportunities for every child to be successful
A3 Ts need to know what a Ss needs & strengths are, address the needs, create opportunities for growth. Formative assessment used
A3: That is only the beginning. It is about meeting them where they are and leading them where they need to be.
A3 Knowing enough about your Ss to differentiate instruction; identifying & building upon prior knowledge https://t.co/9Jxx4lWAE2
Q3: Describe what "meeting students where they are" looks like in an effective teacher's classroom.
A3: not getting into a niche in the classroom but continuing to improve and adapt to the students' needs
A3:You must know your Ss and meet them exactly where they are. That will be different for each class & child.
A3: Mtg Ss where they are allows for individual growth which can manifest in many different ways
A3 students have voice and choice, they set goals to be ment, and choose the best way to show they have met that goal.
A2:Positive=Positive, Negative=Negative Ts emotional state drives classroom climate. The classroom is your stage what's your show?
A3: It looks like me running across the room to grab something a student or the lesson could use at that moment/lots of ?s, too
"Key"is creating the opportunities that address the diversities and needs.
A3 have relationship with Ss to reach out to meet their individual needs. Adapt to make Ss feel successful is a huge thing to me.
A3- differentiated instruction is actively used 2 ensure that students with different ability levels & learning styles are engaged
Sounds& is great but R we equipping Tt to be able to do it? Are we giving th, the skills to pay da bills? https://t.co/xmiS741pAR
A3: What is fair - differentiate, create centers, provide opportunities for every child to be successful
A3: Teachers find out where they are and they GO TO THEM. None of this halfway business. They go get them. :-)
A3: Being willing to modify plans and teach new things to help the students to learn the basics!
A3:Differentiated learning and a scaffolded small group where S's are the driving force of their learning! https://t.co/0exUyfZYe7
Q3: Describe what "meeting students where they are" looks like in an effective teacher's classroom.
A3: It's giving formative assessments along the way to know where each student is at all times.
😔 https://t.co/RNlgkHP8qQ
A3: Teachers find out where they are and they GO TO THEM. None of this halfway business. They go get them. :-)
Are lesson plans for the teacher or for the students? Should PD be based on teacher's weakness/interest or their students needs?
Q4: How do effective teachers create a Sense of Belonging for all students in their classrooms?
The term"differentiate" gets abused.Need to scaffold to troubled area & b purposeful w inst strategy
A4: This is where student voice is essential. Students need to feel heard to take ownership of their learning.
A4: Creating a culture of respect where failure is not an option gives Ss a sense of belonging.
A4: Creating a safe and nurturing space where students are allowed to fail, constantly improve and contribute to the class.
I don't think it sounds easy. Ts have a hard job. We don't need to do easy. Futures are at stake.
Thoughts of the PLC? https://t.co/Kb5WNxKE9b
Are lesson plans for the teacher or for the students? Should PD be based on teacher's weakness/interest or their students needs?

A5: Forgiveness is acceptance in the classroom - we all make mistakes...let the Ss learn and feel free to do so
A5 Ever have a student make a day or week miserable? It is still your mission to teach that kid.
When we forgive, we remember our own fallibility, which makes it difficult to harbor ill-will for others mistakes.
Well said! I think we've ALL felt this as students at one time or another!
Mot wisdom is born from 1 million mistakes.Edison said he had found 10k ways it didn't work, not failed https://t.co/FkLDPvNRTI

A6 Admitting mistakes can be hard for *everyone*. Add that we are in role of intellectual authority. Humility is armor not flaw
Heroes don't make mistakes; wait that's just in fiction! Be the example. Be the lesson & the teacher https://t.co/8XvLpdvlhi
A6: We think we should have all the right answers. When we don't, we sometimes feel as if we have failed.

A7 A proper student-teacher relationship grows from mutual respect. And many times the teacher has to make that first step.
