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