ACook_FACS Jul 10 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1. Waiting at the copier machine or a broken copier! ;) But really lots of paperwork! #mnlead

MrStevenKerr Jul 10 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1:Grading papers, creating engaging and exciting lessons that allow our Ss to go reach higher levels of learning #mnlead

Clouducation_ Jul 10 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Q2: Why do some teachers seem to be completely swamped and others at the same grade/subject seem just fine? What is different? #mnlead

ACook_FACS Jul 10 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@Clouducation_ I have such high respects for english teachers and all of those papers! #mnlead

MaestraDonahue Jul 10 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1: Personality. Some teachers are overacheivers and others do the bare minimum- just like our students. #mnlead

korytellers Jul 10 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2 I think it's the different kinds of pressure Ts put on themselves and how compulsive one might be or control factor. #mnlead

PrincipalFrench Jul 10 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2) I'm not really sure what makes some educators more efficient and seemingly have more work/life balance. #mnlead

ACook_FACS Jul 10 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2. Sometimes I feel like some are ok with just being ok and using the same things over...obviously not always the case! #mnlead

shadow_uzumaki Jul 10 @ 8:13 PM EDT

#mnlead A2 one factor maybe lvl of exp,a new T may struggle to get everything ready vs a vet.

JWPBulldog Jul 10 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2: Personalized stress. Some are okay with it, some have to work on it. By no means is it a flaw, just different. #mnlead

clmaxa Jul 10 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Do you think involving Ss in the assessment process could alleviate the time it takes teachers? #mnlead https://t.co/GxU25EPkXB

Clouducation_ Jul 10 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: As an English teacher, it was grading and marking papers... #mnlead

MrStevenKerr Jul 10 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2:Itcomes down to preparation, s that are prepared are less swamped,have things planned out so they have time if something comes up #mnlead

korytellers Jul 10 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2 And honestly, sometimes I stay late just because I enjoy the quiet of my classroom, not because I'm overly swamped. #mnlead

chris_bussmann Jul 10 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: This answer applies to people in many professions: focus your time on the right stuff and it doesn't feel like a job. #mnlead

PaulONeill1972 Jul 10 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Paul from NJ. Dean of Behavioral Management/Special Ed Teacher here. Looking forward to learning with you. #mnlead

ACook_FACS Jul 10 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@korytellers yes! I only live 2 blocks from school and will go back in the evening just to find quiet time! #mnlead

shadow_uzumaki Jul 10 @ 8:15 PM EDT

#mnlead a2 other factors include family, free time, just life getting in the way...

korytellers Jul 10 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2 Some of us also do better when we procrastinate and wait last minute. Or at least that's what I like to believe. ;) #MNLead

iPrincipalJJ Jul 10 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2: purpose! Purpose in planning and grading allow for you to be less swamped and overwhelmed #mnlead

Clouducation_ Jul 10 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@shadow_uzumaki I actually see the reverse in secondary. Vets claim to be more swamped than newer... #mnlead

Latimer1Kristi Jul 10 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2: The difference is personality and mostly lack of support. They need admin and PLC/PLN support without a doubt!! #mnlead

JWPBulldog Jul 10 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2P2: As administrators, we have to develop ways to assist in the response process. We need to personalize responses and assistance. #mnlead

clmaxa Jul 10 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2: I think it's mindset, and also how they approach assessment, which could be the requirements they are stuck with. #mnlead

korytellers Jul 10 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@ACook_FACS Yup, and others may look at that and think that you are swamped with work, when really you might not be. #MNLead

shadow_uzumaki Jul 10 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@korytellers #mnlead that last minute adrenaline rush though lol

jenhegna Jul 10 @ 8:15 PM EDT

shadow_uzumaki Jul 10 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@Clouducation_ #mnlead that's interesting. I volunteer w/ a new T and T seems to be swamped brings me to my next point tho....

PaulONeill1972 Jul 10 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: My belief = it's all in the process. Streamline the process & efficiency improves. Eliminate wasted steps, maximize prep time. #mnlead

Clouducation_ Jul 10 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Q3: What efficiency practices do teachers use that seem to really help free up time? #mnlead

Latimer1Kristi Jul 10 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Control is a huge factor! #mnlead https://t.co/lyzPCmyvfd

korytellers Jul 10 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2 I think it's the different kinds of pressure Ts put on themselves and how compulsive one might be or control factor. #mnlead

korytellers Jul 10 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A3 Making your classroom more student centered. #MNLead

PaulONeill1972 Jul 10 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: Also, apply the "Touch-It once" philosophy. It helps organization and efficiency. #mnlead

ACook_FACS Jul 10 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A3. I found this last year that SBG changed my life! More learning and fun activities for the Ss, less time on graded work for me! #mnlead

chris_bussmann Jul 10 @ 8:19 PM EDT

I had a Supt. that told me the world wasn't going to stop if I wasn't at work for a day or so. #mnlead #truth https://t.co/Qo9dUWgl9j

ACook_FACS Jul 10 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@chris_bussmann great point! I have been trying to remember this and not be so hard on myself, but take time for myself more! #mnlead

MaestraDonahue Jul 10 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A3: Go in early, use your prep time wisely, stay focused #mnlead

Latimer1Kristi Jul 10 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@PrincipalFrench Time management is a huge area that some teachers can't get...they work harder, not smarter! #mnlead

clmaxa Jul 10 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A3: They are effective at providing direction to their paraprofessionals, so they can focus on their craft! #mnlead

MrStevenKerr Jul 10 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A3: Having processes in place from the beginning of the year, the more Ss know your processes the less time you waste #mnlead

PrincipalFrench Jul 10 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A3) I think finding what works, coming in before school, using planning periods, staying after school, coming in evenings, weekends. #mnlead

MrLeBrun Jul 10 @ 8:20 PM EDT

JWPBulldog Jul 10 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A3: I have heard from some Ts that technology has improved efficiencies. Also, work with admin to eliminate unnecessary "stuff" #mnlead

iPrincipalJJ Jul 10 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A3: Formative assessments imbedded in lessons so not all assessments have to be hand graded and also allows for more time preparing #mnlead

Latimer1Kristi Jul 10 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2: I feel that teachers that are a little stressed is a great sign that they are not being complacent! They want to grow! #mnlead

MrLeBrun Jul 10 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A3.1: If you're grading everything, you're doming yourself. #MNLead

A3: Stick to a graded summative assessment every other week, per course that you teach. #mnlead
