sew1080 Mar 22 @ 9:08 PM EDT

My band director said "If you're early, you're on time. If you're on time, you're late." Not motivational, but words I live by! #PISDedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Mar 22 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1 My kg teacher told me I could finish my drawing, even though it was group time. Has stuck with me 5 decades! #PISDedchat

sew1080 Mar 22 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@NancyWTech It's the little things! #PISDedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Mar 22 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1 She couldn't know what impact that would have on me; that's the tricky part of words! #pisdedchat

texasteacher98 Mar 22 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1 in 4th grade, a T complimented me on my handwriting. NE1 who knows me knows that had a lasting impact! #pisdedchat

Hi #PISDedchat! I'm Clara from @pisdtech. Hubby is at the fire station tonight so I'm flying solo with the kids. I'll try to chime in!

Englandk_1 Mar 22 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1) my HS teacher responded, "you really don't realize how smart you are." After I explained why I thought my work wasn't good. #pisdedchat

rocio_mar_men Mar 22 @ 9:14 PM EDT

We should try to include only positive words in the classroom in order to keep positive attitude among students. #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Mar 22 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@Englandk_1 Wow, that must have been powerful for you! Do you know now how smart you are? :-) #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Mar 22 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Here is Q2 for #PISDedchat https://t.co/NsJhDsssEo

NancyWTech - Moderator Mar 22 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Q2 A beloved HS teacher, when I told her I was majoring in Education: "You're too smart to just be doing that." Very deflating! #PISDedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Mar 22 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Emphasis to this day is on the "just" in the above sentence. #PISDedchat

techclara - Moderator Mar 22 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1 #PISDedchat A college prof said, "If you're doing it to find out what's in it for you -and not to help others- you've got it wrong."

sew1080 Mar 22 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2 It would bother me when people said "Oh you just play all day" when I told them I taught kinder. My job was not a "real job". #PISDedchat

krismmcdonald Mar 22 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2: Head baseball coach telling a group of us the 1st day he could look and know who would make the team b4 we even tried out #pisdedchat

texasteacher98 Mar 22 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2 in 11th, my "math whiz" bro left for college I was told I couldn't handle pre-calc on my own so I had 2 take an easier math. #pisdedchat

A2 #PISDedchat HS teacher told me to turn my part time job into my full time job after HS graduation bc college was too much of a leap.

Hey! Fern here...sorry I'm late. At the kid's bball practice. #PISDedchat

A2) "you're here to learn. Not to have fun, play, and choose what you want to do." -didn't like school when I was little. #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Mar 22 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Q3 coming up! #PISDedchat

sew1080 Mar 22 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Today we would say "You're here to learn THROUGH play, having fun, and choosing what you want to do. #PISDedchat https://t.co/XSicCdNFee

trudy_fern Mar 22 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A2 Anytime I am told, "I'm so impressed that you speak so articulately." It just rubs me the wrong way. #PISDedchat

techclara - Moderator Mar 22 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@sew1080 Oof! #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Mar 22 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3 Skillful Teacher Language means always thinking about how it sounds to the student, how they might interpret your words #PISDedchat

techclara - Moderator Mar 22 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@trudy_fern Agreed! I don't like being told I "speak English so well" either. Both of those rub me the wrong way. #pisdedchat

Englandk_1 Mar 22 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3) knowing what, when, why and how to say something that will get a positive response. #pisdedchat

sew1080 Mar 22 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A3 Your words should serve a purpose. Sarcasm is not the best choice in a classroom environment. #PISDedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Mar 22 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Those are "you don't sweat much for a fat girl" kinds of comments, eh? #PISDedchat https://t.co/rXlWA1zaU0

techclara - Moderator Mar 22 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@trudy_fern Agreed! I don't like being told I "speak English so well" either. Both of those rub me the wrong way. #pisdedchat

techclara - Moderator Mar 22 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3 #PISDedchat To me, it means being aware that your words can stick in a good or a bad way.

techclara - Moderator Mar 22 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@TechKnowLeah I talked to that teacher later in life. It was the most awkward conversation of my life! #pisdedchat

sew1080 Mar 22 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A3 Not being sarcastic is hard for me because that's my sense of humor. I have to stop myself a lot and reword my sentences. #PISDedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Mar 22 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A3 Using skillful lang also means you know which students you can talk to in which ways. e.g. Some you can joke with; others not #PISDedchat

A4 Body language says a lot. Kids pick up on everything. Eye rolling, sighs, tone of voice...#PISDedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Mar 22 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A4 So much nonverbal involved in language: facial expressions, context, etc. It's why email/Twitter goes wrong sometimes! #PISDedchat

A3 a teacher that can put many hats #pisdedchat

Greses88 Mar 22 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@NancyWTech, after working as engineer, people made the same comments to me when I decided to start in EDU. They couldn't understand. Still.

trudy_fern Mar 22 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A4 Non-verbal cues can and should be differentiated for your Ss. Some need soft and kind words, some need a little sharper tone.#pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Mar 22 @ 9:41 PM EDT

Q5 coming up in 2 minutes #PISDedchat

techclara - Moderator Mar 22 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4 #PISDedchat I could always tell when a teacher didn't like me. It was obvious and it made me feel insecure. Kids can read us!

Greses88 Mar 22 @ 9:42 PM EDT

Thanks Mrs. @texasteacher98! The survey.... #PISDedchat https://t.co/xlkgIUBrsQ

@Greses88 I'm so glad you did! Meadows is lucky to have you! https://t.co/zTdrdHSjqO

Englandk_1 Mar 22 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A4) Lang involves shared understanding-meaning. Speech involves sounds, fluency, & articulation #pisdedchat

sew1080 Mar 22 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A4 An interview ? I've answered is "Do you think a child can learn from you if they think you don't like them?" Food for thought #PISDedchat

I think they CAN learn from you, but I think they'll learn more/better if they know you like them. #PISDedchat https://t.co/fT2DaQd9x6

I guess a kid COULD learn from you if you didn't like them, but so much easier to motivate them if u do #PISDedchat https://t.co/eTBlopT4W8

A5 Written word can stay and be read over & over again.Everyone likes to read written compliments! #PISDedchat

texasteacher98 Mar 22 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A5 written word lasts longer. When you need a pick me up, you can always go back to it. It's why I save my hubby's texts. #pisdedchat

krismmcdonald Mar 22 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A5: I prefer the written word because I can take time to clarify what I'm trying to say. AND who doesn't love a written letter? #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Mar 22 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@texasteacher98 You & I were on exactly the same page there! #PISDedchat

Last Q of the night. What one word inspires you the most today? #PISDedchat https://t.co/uloKSp0NoT

krismmcdonald Mar 22 @ 9:53 PM EDT

Seriously. I say a lot of stupid things if I don't take time to think. "Better to be thought a fool.." #PISDedchat https://t.co/kPeHoNliki

A6 Today (and many days) my word is gratitutde. #PISDedchat

Greses88 Mar 22 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A5: There's beauty in the spontaneity of the spoken word & the perpetuity of the written word. Both have their space in teaching #pisdedchat

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Mar 22 @ 9:53 PM EDT

I wonder what kind of person I'd be today if I grew up as a digital native. It's like an unfair adv. #pisdedchat https://t.co/S3Meo2LJD4
