    A6- take time from things that "need" to get done to focus on showing how much I care &establish trust. Then press! #KSedchat

    Even with classes of 30, you can build relnships with every kid by using every minute you're not teaching to sit w/and talk w/kids #ksedchat

    A6: Stay the course. Keep relationships first and devote the time needed. Be alert. Look into the "heart" of interruptions. #ksedchat

    @LauraGilchrist4 by having teachers perform not only in their classrooms but to visit others to help be well rounded for all kids #ksedchat

    The power of hallway conversations! Relationships are the heart of schools--and so much more than academics. #ksedchat

      For Ss, i have found just talking to them in the hallways has gone a long way. Make it a point to speak to everyone #KSedchat
