    It is so hard to keep their attention, I feel like I have to put on a performance just to keep their attention #TeacherFriends

      #teacherfriends For a few years, I have had students with mild behavior issues. This year, each day is very challenging. I have had to be creative with engaging little learners.

    #teacherfriends I felt so strong about what is working, and how young teachers might find some of my ideas useful, that I blogged. https://t.co/1X9EjAPyeG

    #teacherfriends A2: What is your top suggestion for monitoring and addressing chronic behavior issues? Tips?
  • maggieskinder Nov 13 @ 9:04 PM EST
    #TeacherFriends Focus is one word I have used a LOT this year. You are correct @99Wyo . It takes several tries to get their attention some days.
  • 99Wyo Nov 13 @ 9:05 PM EST
    A2: We have implemented the problem solving process and keep notes on Milepost, all teacher have access, chat about students during team meetings. #TeacherFriends

    A1 I am trying to figure out how to use twitter to tell teachers about a (free) digital resource we've put together (I run a nonprofit and produce documentaries for National Geographic/PBS). I would love any advice you are willing to give! #TeacherFriends
  • 99Wyo Nov 13 @ 9:09 PM EST
    Consistency works wonders too. #TeacherFriends

    #teacherfriends Follow districts and educators online. Tag districts with information you want to share. The information will reach them.

    #teacherfriends A2: Is Milepost the program/app that suggests things to try with student behavior? @99Wyo
  • 99Wyo Nov 13 @ 9:17 PM EST
    Sorry it's Mileposts, through silverback learning, I'm not sure what'd you call it. it doesn't really give you suggestions, it's give you a place to keep track of everything you've done with a student. #TeacherFriends

    #TeacherFriends @maggieskinder here's all the stuff that can be done on it.
  • maggieskinder Nov 13 @ 9:22 PM EST
    #teacherfriends That is a good point. I have not tried to push a free product via twitter. You can try following educators and see if you get follow backs. There should be search information relating to this.

      Thank you! I'm just starting to get the hang of twitter. Forgive my ignorance - if I type @(their name) in front of the message then they will see it even if they are not following me? Isn't it rude to just tag someone like that?

    #teacherfriends Q3: What programs do you have in place for schoolwide behavior mgt and growth?
  • 99Wyo Nov 13 @ 9:27 PM EST
    A3: We are a PBIS school, we all take turns doing reteach to reteach a behavior(s), we also give buff tickets to those who are following expectations #TeacherFriends
  • maggieskinder Nov 13 @ 9:28 PM EST
    #teacherfriends A3: We are in year one of a PBS reboot. Following it with fidelity with good results so far.
  • 99Wyo Nov 13 @ 9:29 PM EST
    A3: We do a Buff Drawing and Buff Activity every other week. So last week we did a buff activity so this week will be a drawing. If you have 3+ reteach tickets you go to reteach and miss out on the activity. #TeacherFriends
  • maggieskinder Nov 13 @ 9:29 PM EST
    #teacherfriends @99Wyo We are pleased with improvement in all areas. I personally would like to see better results for lunchroom routines and behavior. That is a tough one, especially with weather changes as of late.
  • 99Wyo Nov 13 @ 9:30 PM EST
    The lunch room is the hardest area I think. #TeacherFriends

    #teacherfriends Q4: Is there a program or method you would like to try? What part of it intrigues you? Closing remarks?
  • 99Wyo Nov 13 @ 9:33 PM EST
    with the K-1 kids, our reteach takes place the next day. Even at that they don't always remember what they've done to receive the reteach ticket. #TeacherFriends
  • maggieskinder Nov 13 @ 9:34 PM EST
    #teacherfriends Is there a way to document what each reteach ticket is for?

    It's actually right on the ticket, which is great for the teacher doing reteaching. The parents are also sent a copy of it. And we document it on Mileposts. #TeacherFriends
  • maggieskinder Nov 13 @ 9:36 PM EST
    #teacherfriends Okay, that makes sense. Like that!

    #teacherfriends Thank you for joining in, or reading later! We appreciate our #teacherfriends, and miss you too!

    We can track where it's happening or what time of day, it's actually really nice. #TeacherFriends
  • maggieskinder Nov 13 @ 9:38 PM EST
    #teacherfriends Thank you @99Wyo for participating. This was an important discussion. Maybe we helped someone else with ideas for behavior documentation and practice.
  • 99Wyo Nov 13 @ 9:38 PM EST
    Thanks for chatting @maggieskinder, it's nice to talk to adults, even if through the computer. #TeacherFriends
