Good morning, PLFamily! Hope your Thanksgiving is blessed beyond all expectations ... Sylvia, Academic Coach/ENG Tchr at Title 1 HS in Tampa FL #HackLearning
Hi, I'm Kathy, k-5 science coach at Westwood Public Schools in Massachusetts, home school Sheehan. Loving my job and my colleagues at all the schools. #hacklearning
A1 I am thankful for the daily opportunities to impact the lives of the humans in our school. We must be deliberate about these opportunities, because we make an impact whether or not we are trying. What impression are you leaving? #Hacklearning
A1. I love being able to see my students’ faces light up when they have an “aha” moment. I love being able to help encourage struggling learners that they CAN do it. I love being around kids because they make my heart happy. I love helping future generations learn. #hacklearning
A1: I am thankful for a professional that touches the lives of so many. If I can have a small influence on the education of our future. That is AWESOME! #hacklearning
I am most thankful for the learning experiences that I have everyday. Some unintentional in the classroom and in unexpected interactions, others planned professional growth. #hacklearning
A1: I'm thankful that this is work that compels us to pay attention. When we do, we uncover things that are so interesting and unexpected. It makes us want to keep learning. This is a creative field. #HackLearning
A1: Gift I bring to the table is a desire to give acts of service. Not only do I get a burst of brain chemical oxytocin, but so does the receiver. Win-Win. #HackLearning
A1) I remember my challenges and successes as a kid in school. I want to help others with what they’re struggling with and give them positive memories. #HackLearning
A1 Thankful for an attitude of #gratitude that inspires learners to find their voices and let them rise. Carol ELA Consultant from Long Island here at #HackLearning. Good morning!
A1. I love taking something that is usually seen as “difficult” or “boring” and adding a little bit of joy/happiness to it. I love when my students say, “THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!” Yes. Learning is fun! #hacklearning
A1 thankful for the inspiration of colleagues who never give up on a child no matter their struggles to connect and make a difference #HackLearning#efficacy
A1: I'm so thankful that not only do I get to see kids continually learning, but also Ts! And I'm thankful I can learn every day from them as well. #HackLearning
A1: Yes it is!!! Most thankful for the relationships, with students, families, colleagues, and administrators. + the ability to learn every. Single. Day. #HackLearning
A1 the opportunity each and every day to make a positive impact on my students. Help them to develop habits and create a mindset that will allow them to be successful in the future. #HackLearning
A1: I’m most thankful for having a job where it doesn’t feel like work! I’ve been lucky to know what my passion was early on in life and now I get to live it! Spending time with kids every day, watching them grow, and building into them. #whyiteach#HackLearning
A1: Countless aspects to my "job" that I am thankful for. But one thing for sure is the laughter. I can be guaranteed that multiple times throughout the day, someone will make me smile or laugh. Kids are just joy. #hacklearning
A1: Best part of being an educator is the ability to support Ss tap into their potential so they find their passion in life. Love being able to inspire them!! #HackLearning
I will just state what so many Eds are afraid to say out loud out of fear of not looking like a dedicated educator ... I am thankful for the week off at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break, Summer ... #hacklearning
Thanks Emily - that time of the year in a community that starts at the top of the Blue Ridge - thankful for the environment in which I work #hacklearning
A1: Two of things I am most thankful for about being an educator: how much fun my job is and that the challenges that come along with it "sharpens my saw" on a daily basis #hacklearning
A1: I'm thankful for the opportunity to see my students grow, not just academically, but as people as well. I teach ELA 9 and 12. Often I get the chance to have students again before they graduate. #HackLearning
#HackLearning A1 I am most thankful for the ability to impact the Kids and families I work with. Putting a lot of joy into their lives while teaching them to love school and reading.
A1: I’m thankful for having a job I wake up excited to go to everyday. A job that has purpose and impact. A job that may be challenging at times, but leaves a lasting impact on on myself and others. #HackLearning
#HackLearning! THIS! A job where it doesn’t feel like work. This is a passion. If you don’t feel that way, recharge your batteries because our kids NEED for us to have this mindset. @k_callahan4 great points here!

John Miller, Head of an international school in Mexico City. Enjoyed a week with my family in the US, but I am itching to #hacklearning back at school tomorrow!
A1: I'm thankful for the support I've received & given to students, families, and colleagues. That help & those relationships have kept inspired & excited. #hacklearning
I am also thankful because I get to make a difference everyday ... get to cruise into a school where leadership values my thoughts and opinions ... I have the freedom to do what needs to be done to connect and engage with my student. #hacklearning
A1- my relationships! I get to be around the best kids and teachers all day. I get to use my passion and vision to drive people to succeed, what could be better? #HackLearning
A1: I am thankful to have had a career in the field I dreamt abt since 8 years old. I try my best to advocate for kids while also trying to support the edus I've collaborated with throughout the last 24 years. Thankful these positions allow us to dream big--ger. #hacklearning
My wife is also a teacher ... lots of home time ... our daughter doesn't know what it is like to be left home alone during school breaks. #hacklearning
A1 Good morning! Thankful for the opportunities to grow, learn, and share with amazing educators committed to being the best they can be for all students #HackLearning
A1- my relationships! I get to be around the best kids and teachers all day. I get to use my passion and vision to drive people to succeed, what could be better? #HackLearning
I'm thankful for supportive admin. when I want to try something other teachers (and parents?) might call "crazy." Also for those competent professionals at my school who contribute! #HackLearning
I am also thankful because I get to make a difference everyday ... get to cruise into a school where leadership values my thoughts and opinions ... I have the freedom to do what needs to be done to connect and engage with my student. #hacklearning
I'm right there with you! We all need to sharpen the saw and give ourselves time to grow lest we become resentful and therefore less effective models for our Ss and schools. #HackLearning
I will just state what so many Eds are afraid to say out loud out of fear of not looking like a dedicated educator ... I am thankful for the week off at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break, Summer ... #hacklearning
I'm thankful for supportive admin. when I want to try something other teachers (and parents?) might call "crazy." Also for those competent professionals at my school who contribute! #HackLearning
A1 I say to my kids "I'm going 2school" they respond "dad, isn't it work, you're not in school" I say "it's only work if you'd rather b someplace else." #HackLearning
A2 Tell them.
Avoid generic praise and share your appreciation for their work.
Share your time.
We communicate our values by how we spend our time.
#hacklearning
A2: Tell them, but also show them. As admin, if I am present outside, in classes, it shows kids/parents that they are important to me. #avoidingmyoffice#HackLearning
A2 Have to really thank and appreciate @angelmaiers for promoting the showing that you really care about your students, staff, parents, community. This is so important for all of us. My #YouMatter page https://t.co/FEHWPipwXN#HackLearning
A1 pt2 : I am also thankful @VictoriaL_Day nicely shamed me into joining twitter 4 or so years ago. My PLN has been a constant source of inspiration for me even on the toughtest days. #HackLearning
We can show our thankfulness by investing in building relationships with those around us! Know their names, stories and hopes - we can support those! #HacKLearning
A2- by being there for them. By protecting them. I tell my teachers and staff and kids I love them every day on the announcements. I also let them know by making sure all angry parents come to me, no one takes a cursing better than me :-) #HackLearning
Teaching DOES feel like work. It’s hard. It’s not always a passion, and it’s not always fun. And it doesn’t have to be awesome all the time. It’s worth doing even when it isn’t awesome. It’s worth the pain and struggle. #HackLearning
A1: I am most thankful for the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children. If Ss are our future, then how do we make sure they leave our school each day BETTER than when they walked through our doors? #hacklearning
A2: Phone calls to parents make a huge difference. As tech becomes more prevalent it is more important than every to pick up the phone and make a call. #Hacklearning
A2: By actions. I mean yes, we could verbally tell them also, but your actions will speak louder than words. Always offer a helping hand, always notice when someone is down, be positive and encouraging. #hacklearning
A2: last year I started the Caught Doing Good Award. In each class I pick one student per quarter to receive a candy bar and free homework pass for doing some good in the class room like helping another s that was stuck. I called home to tell mom and dad about it. #HackLearning
A2 We write 5 things we are grateful for in our notebooks everyday in Nov & Dec. I always write "my Ss" I also tell them how much I love my job! #hacklearning
A2: By thanking them regularly. Recognizing strengths of students, regular shoutouts to supportive parents, colleagues, and admin. We @TME_tigers send Positive Postcards and have a Staff Shoutout board to show our appreciation! #HackLearning
Hi, Jay. Join us at #NYEDChat tomorrow night. We are going to have loads of fun with @AngelaStockman-Using Mixed Media to Tell our Teaching/Leadership Stories. #HackLearning
A2: I try to show my colleagues that I'm thankful for them by hearing them, asking for their contributions, and making my own without being asked. #HackLearning
A2: One thing I've learned about showing appreciation is that not everyone values the same approach. I apply love languages to how I say "thank you" to have greater impact. #HackLearning
A1 Thankful to learn each day from colleagues like these! School librarians are a huge asset and one I've recently learned should always be my go to. #hacklearning
@JSAPrincipal has put together a pretty good culture ... it is still evolving, but it is evolving in the right direction...even with the added stress District is placing on teachers. #hacklearning
Engage families, empower students, and encourage staff. This is hard work and it takes a village. Showing thanks can be through relationships and inclusion in the big stuff. #hacklearning
I'm all about the thank you note and telling them all of the time. If something moves me, I do my best to tell the person. Acknowledgement is key, but only in the way the person likes to be recognized - so know your people well #relationshipsmatter#hacklearning
A2: Show Ss and Ts your appreciation of all they do - Say thank you and genuinely include them in the conversation - full transparency = trust & appreciation #HackLearning
Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” –William Arthur Ward
A2: make it a life rule that when you feel it--you say it! ...verbally, in a card, publicly, privately, w/ a gift, w/ a hug....no wrong way to show gratitude. #hacklearning
A2: Our Climate team arranged for Ss to write notes to every educator in the building for Thanksgiving. Everyone left for the break with a pick-me up note from a Student. #HackLearning
A2: We show we care for those in our workplace by taking a genuine interest in them outside of the workplace. Ask about home life, interest, hobbies, attend events, etc. #HackLearning
Great to follow along and see all the great perspective that’s out there! Thankful to educators who do things differently and push themselves beyond “the way it’s always been”. Even if something doesn’t work, still good to try new things! #HackLearning
A2: just like praise, gratitude should be specific. Say thank you with specificity and sincerity! Something I try to do myself and instill in students. Bonus points if it’s handwritten #HackLearning
A2 The key is to be genuine. I try to do with humor, nice notes, blog posts, kind emails, silly gifts. SO many people give 110% each day for kids including my own. #hacklearning
A2 TELL THEM! Everyday, in all ways (in person, email, social media posts, handwritten notes). And show them! I tell my staff I won’t ask them to do anything I am not willing to do myself. #HackLearning
A2: I heard on a podcast (I cannot remember which one) about a principal who begins his day by writing 2-3 cards to staff members and puts them in their mailbox. I need to start doing this. Takes minutes but makes a huge impact. #hacklearning
A2: Our Climate team arranged for Ss to write notes to every educator in the building for Thanksgiving. Everyone left for the break with a pick-me up note from a Student. #HackLearning
A2 Being present and available- This year, I've taken a much more proactive approach to parent communication by sending many more positive emails home, and it has paid dividends in showing students that I care. #hacklearning
A2: By actions. I mean yes, we could verbally tell them also, but your actions will speak louder than words. Always offer a helping hand, always notice when someone is down, be positive and encouraging. #hacklearning
A2 We can show students, colleagues, and families that we value them by working together to advance learning, help students see their work as part of living a meaningful life, and dismantle systems of oppression. School is a collaboration, not a transaction. #HackLearning
A1: I’m thankful for great role models who made me want to enter this profession, for Ts who work hard on behalf of Ss everyday, & for Ss who are like my own kids. #HackLearning
A2: One thing I try to do to show gratitude to students and staff is engaging in listening that endeavors to understand and grow versus just wrapping up a chat #hacklearning
A2 tell them ... thank them for what they do. Let them know they are doing a good job ... if they're not HELP THEM. Find a way to let their light shine. #hacklearning
We have group of staff members on our Culture and Climate team who are doing amazing things this year. They created a Smile Squad and every week someone takes ownership of making the staff smile. Notes, Candy, Jokes...etc #HackLearning
A2: It is a combination of words and actions that show people that you are grateful for their efforts. Public recognition of those that go above and beyond shows you notice which is nice. #hacklearning
A2 by listening to them. Really listening and not just hearing what they say. Appreciating their choices and voices even when they disagree with our own. #HackLearning
A2: I think we can show them by giving maximum effort in our approach to education by breaking away from "what has always been done" and doing what works best for our students to benefit from. #HackLearning
A2 as a Principal, I used to make daily rounds before students were there. That 1:1 time with Ts let me listen and interact more with Ts. #hacklearning
A2: Show Ss and Ts your appreciation of all they do - Say thank you and genuinely include them in the conversation - full transparency = trust & appreciation #HackLearning
We have group of staff members on our Culture and Climate team who are doing amazing things this year. They created a Smile Squad and every week someone takes ownership of making the staff smile. Notes, Candy, Jokes...etc #HackLearning
A4: I try to remember that everyone is fighting their own battles that we may not know about! We have a Stationery Station set up in our mailroom at school! I try to write a note of encouragement when I see a T having a rough day! #LeadLAP

A2 People must first know you care about them before they will ever care about what you know. Transformational change is all about relationships, relationships, relationships. #HackLearning
Q3: I am thankful for learning opportunities that promote empathy & inclusivity. How do you promote empathy & inclusivity in your learning space? #HackLearning
A1: I’m most thankful for an amazing group of students who are willing to learn as I learn with them. Also have a group who is starting to take risks #HackLearning
A3: I teach empathy and inclusivity by showing the importance of perspective and offering countless ways for students to grow global competency skills . #Globaled makes this possible and @participate can show you how!
#hacklearning
A1. Everyday teaching, whether for kids or adults, in the classroom or online (I’ve done it all) is an opportunity. Everyone starts over each day (Ss & teachers). - where else can that happen? #HackLearning
A2: Showing appreciation & value to others is critical. Acknowledging someone’s hard work, energy, and service goes far. As one of my favorite quotes states, “we rise by lifting others” #HackLearning
A2 as a Principal, I used to make daily rounds before students were there. That 1:1 time with Ts let me listen and interact more with Ts. #hacklearning
A3 We can promote inclusivity and empathy by connecting our students, teachers, and leaders to the world outside our school. What can we learn socially and academically? What real world problems can we solve?
#HackLearning
A2 I'm working this year at sharing my thankfulness in words and deeds. Both are important. All should feel like a valuable part of the learning. #hacklearning
A3: I like the idea of a sharing project called "My musical journey," where students share their story. When you understand what they value, they will value you! #hacklearning
Q3: I am thankful for learning opportunities that promote empathy & inclusivity. How do you promote empathy & inclusivity in your learning space? #HackLearning
A3: I show empathy by listening to my Ss. If its something off task, we talk about it after class or before. I give my students trust to work in groups, choose their own seats, flexible seating, and choice in assignments. #hacklearning
Q3: I am thankful for learning opportunities that promote empathy & inclusivity. How do you promote empathy & inclusivity in your learning space? #HackLearning
A2 don’t just tell show them appreciation by listening, walking with them not in front of them, celebrating their successes, sharing their stories, valuing individuals but supporting collectively #HacKLearning
Q3: I am thankful for learning opportunities that promote empathy & inclusivity. How do you promote empathy & inclusivity in your learning space? #HackLearning
A3: We can promote inclusivity & diversity through literature, explicit conversations and affinity groups! We must be intentional about this work! #HackLearning
A2: I like to write notes to my students every now and then. Tell them how much I’ve seen them grow personally and academically. Building that relationship first is huge #HackLearning
Q3: I am thankful for learning opportunities that promote empathy & inclusivity. How do you promote empathy & inclusivity in your learning space? #HackLearning
Q3: I am thankful for learning opportunities that promote empathy & inclusivity. How do you promote empathy & inclusivity in your learning space? #HackLearning
#hacklearning A3 direct instruction! Morning meeting, sel plans, modeling, treating beh. Like academics and reteaching! I want my kids to be good ppl not just academically prepared.
Love this idea Jay! Over the past four years every Ss in our school has now read the book and our 5th grade went to see the movie opening day thanks to our @Byram5thGrade staff. AMAZING! #HackLearning
Q3: I am thankful for learning opportunities that promote empathy & inclusivity. How do you promote empathy & inclusivity in your learning space? #HackLearning
A3) I’ve always used myself as an example of the diversity among us. I’m proud to have my husband be part of my life and what I share with others. #HackLearning
Q3: I am thankful for learning opportunities that promote empathy & inclusivity. How do you promote empathy & inclusivity in your learning space? #HackLearning
A3: Empathy is a practice, and I teach it explicitly by helping teachers+kids learn more about immersion, interviewing, gathering info from observation, and approximating situations. Then, using what's learned to change thinking/behavior. #HackLearning
A3. Project Based Learning and one to one consultations with Ss. I teach in a Tech Lab so it's easy for me to individualize based on their needs:)
#hacklearning
Q3: I am thankful for learning opportunities that promote empathy & inclusivity. How do you promote empathy & inclusivity in your learning space? #HackLearning
A3: We can't assume students know how to see things from another point of view. Activities like this one can help teach empathy directly. #HackLearning
A3: Respect and relationships are the two foundations we build on as we start the year. We’re a family in my classroom and treat each other as such. We build on each other’s strengths and give time to share Ss personalities and interests. #HackLearning
A3: I use #diversebooks to not only promote empathy but also for my Ss to see themselves represented in books and learn to ❤️ themselves for who they are! #hackLearning
Q3: I am thankful for learning opportunities that promote empathy & inclusivity. How do you promote empathy & inclusivity in your learning space? #HackLearning
A3: Often students are surrounded by others who are just like them. Literature can personally invest them into the lives of characters who are different. #hacklearning
A3: By leading the diversity & inclusion work at my school - w/ pd, a library, book clubs. We share our stories, get to know each other, ask hard ?s, & have the convos that need to be had. #hacklearning
A2: More specifically for students...constant encouragement/pointing out good, More specifically for parents, keeping them informed about their child's progress on a consistent basis (good & not so good stuff), More specifically for colleague: sharing your triumphs #HackLearning
I really love that the ideas in this image are personalized. They take the conversation past "thanks" and focus on the human and the work they are doing! #HackLearning
A2: One thing I've learned about showing appreciation is that not everyone values the same approach. I apply love languages to how I say "thank you" to have greater impact. #HackLearning
A3: I'm all about modeling it. We need to be what we expect others to be and be transparent about it. Empathy is not always as easy as we think but so we need to build it into our cultures #hacklearning
Our Hastings community recently showed their thanks by providing a Thanksgiving meal, a warm space & beautiful music by our student musicians for over 800 families in need! I am thankful to have been part of that experience! #HackLearning
#HackLearning is a chat for people who value education & want to find ways that we can improve classroom learning, culture, experiences tomorrow ... we share & Learn together as a Professional Learning Community/Family
Let’s ensure our Ss Ts and families are feeling the Thankfulness and gratitude all the time - that is engrained in our culture not a result of the time of year #HackLearning
A3 We work in teams. They get a new team each week by choosing a playing card & going to that team # so it's random. Ss say they are grateful as they've met new Ss this way. #hacklearning
A3 We talk about it a lot and being a "band family," but I think the best way is just to be the role model of it for the students. If they see you walk the talk, they are much more likely to follow. #hacklearning
Q3: I am thankful for learning opportunities that promote empathy & inclusivity. How do you promote empathy & inclusivity in your learning space? #HackLearning
A3: letting students have a say and a voice in the classroom is big. I’m not the greatest at this (empathy and inclusivity) but letting my students be heard to each other or to me. I need to improve on this #HackLearning
A3 For students, I work hard to remind others abt student needs and encouraging forgiveness. I rely on stories to build connections and hopefully inspire others to believe more. But, there are adults struggling in our schools too. I should do more for them. #hacklearning
A3: Ts have to model it. Our Ss come from very diverse backgrounds, but that doesn't mean they automatically know how to show or include. #HackLearning
A3 Use picture books (read-alouds) to teach empathy. Ss identify vicariously w/ characters & learn to see other’s perspectives. https://t.co/zAYXy7YfnE#HackLearning
Point out the good, but don't sugarcoat the not so good ... they must know you are there to help them get better. They can't get better if you never focus on the flaws. #hacklearning
A3: letting students have a say and a voice in the classroom is big. I’m not the greatest at this (empathy and inclusivity) but letting my students be heard to each other or to me. I need to improve on this #HackLearning
A3: Empathy & inclusivity- wow! 💛Listening, acknowledging, smiling, caring, listening again. Asking others to be a part of things. Showing you care & making an effort through your actions & not just your words. #HackLearning
A3. Enter into people’s lives. Be more interested in them than you are in yourself. Be more interested in learning about them than telling people about yourself. #HackLearning
A4: I try to remember that everyone is fighting their own battles that we may not know about! We have a Stationery Station set up in our mailroom at school! I try to write a note of encouragement when I see a T having a rough day! #LeadLAP
A3: I am thankful for Twitter. Just found this chat and is exactly what I need to learn how to better motivate students to learn and not care about grades. #HackLearning
A3: Restorative Practices. Requiring students (or teachers) to sit down and talk about what happened, why it happened and how we can prevent it in the future- works! Otherwise the issue simply bubbles up at a later date. Address it. #HackLearning
Q3: I am thankful for learning opportunities that promote empathy & inclusivity. How do you promote empathy & inclusivity in your learning space? #HackLearning
Sometimes sarcastic people think they are showing you respect by joking around. You cannot please everyone, but you will feel better about yourself if you chose to not comply with their actions. Be true to yourself. #hacklearning
A3 instead of adding on lessons in empathy and inclusivity, we can turn our day-to-day lessons into opportunities for students to act empathetically and inclusively. #HackLearning
A3 empathy + Compassion .. sending message that all educators in our community are family first, teachers second, and Community peers always #HacKLearning#communitymatters
A3: Building classroom community through Happy Things, Lunch Bunch, etc. Also co-taught classrooms where inclusivity is central and healthy relationships can modeled by myself and my amazing co-teachers!! #HackLearning#BetterTogether
A3 We focus on our school as being a family. Being a great listener, and really hearing what Ss and Ts have to stay (instead of focusing on how to respond). #HackLearning
A3: Videos on Kindness, Empathy and Connection from Edutopia.
Great tools for teaching and fostering empathy is schools and in the workplace. #hacklearninghttps://t.co/vzpQKKCOcc
A3: We try to teach interconnectedness and empathy through literature - help Ss realize that stories don’t happen in a silo - themes are recurring and transcend time and location #HackLearning
I love this! I went to a band competition a few weeks ago and their theme was “time” and it kept saying, “Do not waste your time, it is precious.”. I hope those high schoolers listen to their act. Great point, Captian! #hacklearning
A3: Inclusivity in 2018 is more than an "open door" policy, it's an intentionality. It's actively seeking out faces that are missing from the year book and trying to convince them that this community needs them
#hacklearning
A2: I think we have to be intentional about loving people at their best & loving them at their worst. This is true for all staff and all Ss. Sometimes this means celebration and joy. Sometimes it means empathy. Sometimes this means courageous conversations. #hacklearning
A3 @OrganicLeaderVB has spearheaded a Joy revolution @vbschools#HackLearning which is taking the district to new levels of empathy, inclusiveness, and joy! Not just for Ts, but Ss as well! I am honored to be a Joy Leader and grateful for @BeachSupe for making this a priority!
A2: One thing I've learned about showing appreciation is that not everyone values the same approach. I apply love languages to how I say "thank you" to have greater impact. #HackLearning
Yes. We all want to know where we stand! A Quaker friend of mine told me that when a member of the community needs a dose of honest feedback, the person closest to them is charged with that responsibility. Be that person for your Ss and your colleagues! #HackLearning
I'm grateful for you too, Lisa. I'll never forget that conversation we had at the conference about being in the greenhouse :) You help me with perspective all of the time #hacklearning
A3: We can promote inclusivity & diversity through literature, explicit conversations and affinity groups! We must be intentional about this work! #HackLearning
A3: Our advisory program this year has been handed over to our 8th graders. They are planning lessons on things like empathy and respect. #HackLearning
A3: I think we have to be intentional about loving people at their best & loving them at their worst. This is true for all staff and all Ss. Sometimes this means celebration and joy. Sometimes it means empathy. Sometimes this means courageous conversations. #HackLearning
A3 We focus on our school as being a family. Being a great listener, and really hearing what Ss and Ts have to stay (instead of focusing on how to respond). #HackLearning
