R1: if we are fake with our Ss, they will see that. It is important that we are genuine with our Ss and have a positive relationship with them. #IDedchat
A1 If you don't enter the school in the right mindset, the students will either devour you like wolves, or curl up like an armadillo and ignore you. #idedchat
R1: I have a S that has a bad rap at school. This is my first semester with him. He is not a strong student. I talk with him, not at him. I talk about how he needs to do an assignment one at a time. He calls me “sir.” It’s mutual respect. #IDedchat
A1: we ask our ss to do hard things everyday. Learning is hard. If teachers don’t believe that all Ss can then the majority of our Ss never will. #IDedchat
A1: It sounds like self-efficacy in action here. Great teachers believe in their own and their students' ability to do great things, even when (or especially when) they are hard. #idedchat#idcoachnet
This is a great perspective Nick! Some of our most challenging students need us to believe in them the most-of we aren’t confident, we see them as a threat. #IDedchat
R2: We build relationships everyday. The relationships can be positive or negative. Sometimes we need a Redo. Sometimes our Ss need the same. #IDedchat
A2: I'm only a yr 2 T. I have found that there are some Ss I have to work harder to create that relationship with. However all Ss and Ts need to have some kind of positive relationship

I can't quote research, but I can quote an old friend of mine @JeffCharbonneau "relationships first...the rest will come later" too bad he couldn't join is tonight. #idedchat
I'm wrong all the time. (well not really). But I do invite students to point out when I am incorrect to show that I am human and I do make mistakes. #idedchat
A3. I read today: Schools actively teaching Social-emotional skills see an 11% bump in student academic achievement....So much for "soft skills" #idedchat
A3 Many improved practices in education that have been developed over the past two decades have been less successful than they might have been because they have focused primarily on curriculum, instruction, assessment, and modes of servic #idedchat
A4: With students: I stand outside my door every day and say hi. I also put myself out there the first day of the year so they get to know me. I let my guard down first. #idedchat
A4. We need to be intentional about it. I've played hackey sack in the commons. I've sat in class working on calculus with kids. I've helped others change tires and move classrooms. We need to do whatever we can to build relationships. Even when we don't want to... #idedchat
A3 part 2 assessment, and modes of service delivery. Insufficient attention had been paid to child and adolescent development. - Comer (2005. #idedchat
A4: With colleagues and admin it happens in the hallways, before and after school conversations. "Hello" and "Good morning" go a long way in the teacher world. #idedchat
R4: communicate and be transparent. Share the positives and negatives. Use multiple media to communicate. I invite people to my class to observe. Like tomorrow. #IDedchat
A4: Ask questions about their lives, loves, and beliefs that are genuinely curious. Remember the responses to pick up the conversation again. #idedchat
A4: In order to create relationships we must genuinely open our hearts, minds and most importantly our ears. We must listen to others for what they say and don’t say. #IDedchat
R4: if we don’t communicate with all stakeholders, who will? Our message is the best message. If we don’t communicate and build the relationships, someone will put the message out that isn’t necessarily the right message. #IDedchat
A4: With students: I stand outside my door every day and say hi. I also put myself out there the first day of the year so they get to know me. I let my guard down first. #idedchat

A4: For Ss I take the time to find out what makes them happy and what makes them sad. We have a morning mtg everyday where Ss and myself can talk about stresses, the good, and the bad. #idedchat
A5: Whether it is finding something in common (which can be rather difficult) or having just a simple 1:! conversation to see if that helps them let their guard down. #idedchat
A5. The best strategy I have met for this...@loveandlogic "yo Bob Vila"... "I noticed statements" No judgement, perfectly safe. works every time. #idedchat
A5: Become interested in them. Ask them about themselves. I try to talk to them, like I actually like them... Turns out that's easier if you do... 😉 #Idedchat
A5b: Stop calling things "interventions" start calling them "Skills Groups" might make the difficult kids feel normal or average...don't put them down. #idedchat
A5: difficult or hard are the Ss I am drawn to. I take time to find out what is causing the difficult or hard behavior. Listen first and then talk together. Keeping high expectations showing that I believe in them too. #idedchat
A6) This sounds like most of my career. It is often small steps forward. There will be missteps by all parties. Just today i told this particular student, some days you drive me crazy, but i will always be here for you. #IDedchat
A5: We refer to these students as our KWLM’s (Kids We Love the Most). The foundation is built with double, triple, and quadruple doses of love. Unconditionally. #IDedchat
A5 Never give up. Every day is a new day. Consistent expectations. Create community from Day 1. Call parents & brag on him/her. Be genuinely interested. #idedchat
R5: we have our Ss in our rooms for 180 days or 90 days (if it is a semester). Sometimes the relationships we work on take all those days. You try different ways until you have it established. We must continue to work. #idedchat
A6: If Admin does not have relationships with Ts and Ss then they are missing the point...and they don't understand what is actually happening. #Idedchat
R6: my Ss success is my success. My success is my admins success, the admin success is the school and community’s success. When we establish the network of relationships that becomes a culture of success. #idedchat
A) The right one this time. If teachers do not feel valued you will not get their best. If students do not feel like the leaders care about them, they do not do their best. Simple solution, Care or do something else. Be comfortable with yourself, the rest is easy. #IDedchat
A7: It goes to what has been said before, if the students feel like they are valued, then they'll try anything. A student who doesn't feel valued won't try because they don't care. #idedchat
A7) If you show you are willing to learn from and with the students, instead of just talking at them, your culture will become more positive. #IDedchat
R7: a #CultureOfGreatness can happen when we lower our guard, take risks, be supportive, and build relationships. Without this, #Mediocrity will fill in and success will be a struggle. #idedchat
A7: Relationships help create a safe environment - students who feel safe are more willing to take risks-it is through risk taking that learning happens! #IDedchat
A7: Strong Classroom relationships between students means, you have helpful and caring support within the classroom. It's one thing if you celebrate when your strugglers acheive... It's much different when the entire class does as well #Idedchat
