Hi everyone! #drtchat Who is here? Last week we talked about FEEDBACK @ the end of the yr--today...?
Raymi76 - Moderator May 23 @ 4:06 PM EDT

@ShiselleLO Hi! So many topics to discuss, so little time. How about documenting?#DRtchat
ShiselleLO - Moderator May 23 @ 4:06 PM EDT

Everyone had so many awesome ideas about motivating Ss! Maybe today we can talk about Ts? #DRtchat
Raymi76 - Moderator May 23 @ 4:09 PM EDT

@ShiselleLO I do like that topic. It's a tough one too. I believe giving them options helps them stay motivated #DRtchat

@Raymi76 @ShiselleLO Setting achievable targets helps #DRtchat

I saw this today and thought it was perfect for Ts!!! We need that break every now and again #DRtchat https://t.co/t9khxsSgKF

@ShiselleLO this is true. As a teacher, I always felt that disconnecting for a bit, helped me stay focused and engaged in my work #DRtchat
Raymi76 - Moderator May 23 @ 4:15 PM EDT

@teacherchalky1 @ShiselleLO Definitely! Starting small and taking one challenge at a time #DRtchat

@ShiselleLO I always think targets linked to student progress are particularly useful to focus staff #DRtchat
ShiselleLO - Moderator May 23 @ 4:22 PM EDT

I've been hearing a lot of buzz about mindfulness in the classroom. For Ts and also for Ss. We should have some PD for that next yr #DRtchat

@Raymi76 @teacherchalky1 @ShiselleLO Agree - it's a time when Ts easily feel overwhelmed. Manageable goals help #drtchat
teacherchalky1 May 23 @ 4:23 PM EDT

@Raymi76 @ShiselleLO Agree, look at the big picture and break it down into achievable short and long term targets #DRtchat
Raymi76 - Moderator May 23 @ 4:25 PM EDT

Some humor also helps! During times when deadlines can be overwhelming especially #DRtchat https://t.co/gmw8dAHfen
ShiselleLO - Moderator May 23 @ 4:25 PM EDT

@teacherchalky1 Of course! It keeps the focus on what's important which is the student outcome #DRtchat
carlameyrink - Moderator May 23 @ 4:27 PM EDT

@ShiselleLO @teacherchalky1 But with everything we have to accomplish at this time of year, Ts need support #drtchat
teacherchalky1 May 23 @ 4:27 PM EDT

@ShiselleLO Especially at this time of year, and in terms of revision setting students acheivable targets is just as important #DRtchat
Raymi76 - Moderator May 23 @ 4:27 PM EDT

@carlameyrink @ShiselleLO Ooh like the title of that book. Is it in general, or related to teaching? #DRtchat
carlameyrink - Moderator May 23 @ 4:28 PM EDT

@Raymi76 @ShiselleLO it's general but it talks about the fact that happy people are more successful, achieve more. #drtchat
ShiselleLO - Moderator May 23 @ 4:28 PM EDT

@teacherchalky1 Yeah, that's something that we mentioned last week when we talked about keeping Ss motivated #DRtchat
