ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1 -Brittney from Kansas, I love classic Popsicles #ETCoaches

AndersonEdTech Jul 26 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@ShanaVWhite just stumbled upon it when I opened my feed, impromptu chat! #ETCoaches

MsHaughs Jul 26 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1:Differentiated... Use varied types of communication for varied groups of stakeholders #ETCoaches

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@AndersonEdTech numerous can be good but overwhelming for some too. But best to give too much info rather than not enough #ETCoaches

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Question 2 up now!! #ETCoaches https://t.co/treogcgWOT

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Q2: Does your communication style change based on your audience (i.e. students, parents, colleagues)? Why or Why not? #ETCoaches

AndersonEdTech Jul 26 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2: Depending on group, you may need to be more frequent, explain in more detail, provide different methods, etc. #ETCoaches

alytormala Jul 26 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Q2-yes and no. Style is similar for all, but content and format differs. All groups need uplifting in different ways. #ETCoaches

knikole Jul 26 @ 8:13 PM EDT

flinng Jul 26 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2 Terminology changes sometimes. Try to lose the jargon with community/parents. #etcoaches

AndersonEdTech Jul 26 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@ShanaVWhite Absolutely, I'd rather be "that guy" than people wondering why they didn't know about something #ETCoaches

MsHaughs Jul 26 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2:Absolutely! Diff types of communication for diff messages, ppl, diff purposes #ETCoaches https://t.co/Pl3AMG3B1N

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Q2: Does your communication style change based on your audience (i.e. students, parents, colleagues)? Why or Why not? #ETCoaches

alytormala Jul 26 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Q2-parents need to be heard. Ss need to know they matter. Ts need to know we've got their backs. #ETCoaches

mrssangstertech Jul 26 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@ShanaVWhite Once I become aware of what I'm doing, it becomes a conscious disciplined act to slow down & usually listen more #ETCoaches

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@knikole welcome!! Thanks for stopping in!! #ETCoaches

knikole Jul 26 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2 I try to use the same style of listening, questioning, and guiding when I communicate #ETCoaches https://t.co/Zs7mVFhTLJ

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Q2: Does your communication style change based on your audience (i.e. students, parents, colleagues)? Why or Why not? #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2 #ETCoaches - definitely... I guess I would call it differentiating with communication. Even with my own 3 kids - different communication

MrsKrissyPierce Jul 26 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2 content is the same but language is differentiated by audience - a smile for everyone though! #ETCoaches

alytormala Jul 26 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@MrsMHenning Love your phrase "differentiating with communication!" #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@alytormala #ETCoaches - Good point. I jumped on the Yes my communication changes, but you are right - some parts remain the same.

alytormala Jul 26 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@MrsKrissyPierce Too true!! Smiles make a huge difference! #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@alytormala #ETCoaches - my passions are organization and differentiation

MsHaughs Jul 26 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@knikole @ShanaVWhite What a great communication focus for ALL stakeholders #ETCoaches

alytormala Jul 26 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Reminded by @MrsKrissyPierce--can't ever go wrong with a positive approach. #ETCoaches

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@MrsKrissyPierce yes smiling always helps!!! #ETCoaches

quelch_brittney Jul 26 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2- Style changes depending on the audience and targeted group. Content may change depending on a Ts personal tech goals #ETCoaches

AndersonEdTech Jul 26 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@alytormala @MrsKrissyPierce Positive approach will make the bad stuff go down a lot easier #ETCoaches

mrssangstertech Jul 26 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2 #etcoaches Similar style and agree with others that I use different terminology depending on audience.

mrssangstertech Jul 26 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@ShanaVWhite @MrsKrissyPierce Smiling helps me stay positive too! #ETCoaches

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 8:19 PM EDT

Q3: Tone is an important aspect of communication. How do you ensure the tone of your message is appropriate for your audience? #ETCoaches

AndersonEdTech Jul 26 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A3: While we all can let emotion get to us at times, it's important to stay even keeled and convey the message in a + manner #ETCoaches

MrsKrissyPierce Jul 26 @ 8:20 PM EDT

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 8:19 PM EDT

Q3: Tone is an important aspect of communication. How do you ensure the tone of your message is appropriate for your audience? #ETCoaches

flinng Jul 26 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3 Keep the focus on solutions & the positive. Avoid using: not, should have, etc #etcoaches

MsHaughs Jul 26 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3:Def helps to really know your audience when determining appropriate tone #ETCoaches

MsHaughs Jul 26 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@AndersonEdTech Easier said than done sometimes ;) But absolutely true!! #ETCoaches

alytormala Jul 26 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3: Always positive. Calm/centered. Model being a learner & celebrate discomfort. Never take frustration personally. #ETCoaches

quelch_brittney Jul 26 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3- I tend to do pre surveys and my past experience working with the Ts to help me decide. #ETCoaches

AndersonEdTech Jul 26 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@MsHaughs I am one of the worst when I comes to living up to this, but doesn't mean I don't bust my hump trying! #ETCoaches

mrssangstertech Jul 26 @ 8:23 PM EDT

Slow down, listen, stay present with the person I'm talking to - try not to think of all the things on my list that are waiting #ETCoaches

knikole Jul 26 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3 I always restate before moving forward. I want to make sure I understand 1st. #ETCoaches https://t.co/1rfVtVxUHI

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 8:19 PM EDT

Q3: Tone is an important aspect of communication. How do you ensure the tone of your message is appropriate for your audience? #ETCoaches

alytormala Jul 26 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@mrssangstertech Oh that list!! This can definitely be a challenge. Staying in the moment! #ETCoaches

AndersonEdTech Jul 26 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@knikole A great thing to do especially when it comes to emails, which can be easily misconstrued! #ETCoaches

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@knikole yes making sure everyone is on the same page before going forward is key #ETCoaches

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@mrssangstertech yes listen is so key!! We might forget that when expressing our passion. #ETCoaches

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 8:25 PM EDT

This is huge!! So key! #ETCoaches https://t.co/LypV2uQ82y

mrssangstertech Jul 26 @ 8:23 PM EDT

Slow down, listen, stay present with the person I'm talking to - try not to think of all the things on my list that are waiting #ETCoaches

knikole Jul 26 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A3+1 All conversations must also focus on student achievement. "How will this help students be successful" is always at my core. #ETCoaches

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Q4: Body language is as important words. What are some body language cues and how do you adjust your message accordingly? #ETCoaches

knikole Jul 26 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@MrsKrissyPierce @AndersonEdTech Yes! I always prefer face-to-face because email tone can be misinterpreted. #ETCoaches

7patrice7 Jul 26 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3 I try to have a smile on to ensure good communication. #ETCoaches

alytormala Jul 26 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A4-relaxed posture; sitting/standing same level as other person; open upper body; positive facial expression and gestures. #ETCoaches

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Q4: Body language is as important words. What are some body language cues and how do you adjust your message accordingly? #ETCoaches

alytormala Jul 26 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A3--forgot to mention that questions are often better than statements! "How do you feel about that lesson?" "How can I help?" #ETCoaches

AndersonEdTech Jul 26 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A4: being on equal ground w/ your audience if possible goes a long way, as does having a bright and energetic vibe about yourself #ETCoaches

mrssangstertech Jul 26 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A4 With teachers-look for signs that they might be confused by what I'm saying-hard to describe but I know it when I see it #ETCoaches

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A4: folded arms and eye rolls are a sign I need change my approach and tactics. #ETCoaches

flinng Jul 26 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A4 If I see the body close up (crossed arms, frowns face, hunching forward) it's time to hit the pause button. #etcoaches

alytormala Jul 26 @ 8:31 PM EDT

Must run to a meeting--I hate to leave before this ends. :( Thanks all! #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 8:32 PM EDT

#ETCoaches A4 - I think non-verbal communication is even harder. Make sure you don't have a scowl, smile, no raised eyebrows or rolled eyes

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@alytormala thanks for stopping by! #ETCoaches

mrssangstertech Jul 26 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A4 Teachers will usually tell me when they need me to stop or back up. Students usually squirm #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 8:32 PM EDT

Q5: What are some tips for successful communication w/ colleagues you can use this fall? What are you looking to improve upon? #ETCoaches

AndersonEdTech Jul 26 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@MsHaughs I hate the people that try to talk to you and play with the phone at the same time, takes away from that openness #ETCoaches

knikole Jul 26 @ 8:34 PM EDT

A4 I try to sit next to the person I am speaking with #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 8:34 PM EDT

mrssangstertech Jul 26 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A5 If I walk into someone's room unexpected, I try to start by explaining why I'm there and asking if it's a good time to talk #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Jul 26 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@RosaIsiah #ETCoaches - SO true....

mrssangstertech Jul 26 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A5: I also use email a lot to schedule time to meet #ETCoaches

flinng Jul 26 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A5 1 email = 1 topic & create catchy colorful images with details / avoid adding to overload while getting info out #etcoaches

RosaIsiah Jul 26 @ 8:40 PM EDT

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 8:41 PM EDT

Q6: How has the usage of social media changed how we communicate as educators? #ETCoaches

AndersonEdTech Jul 26 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A6: Isn't it obvious? We are having this conversation! HA! #ETCoaches

mrssangstertech Jul 26 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@flinng 1 email = 1 topic Yes! #etcoaches

BSGSCSFoster Jul 26 @ 8:42 PM EDT

#ETCoaches A6: Social media has made the conversation more accessible. You have PD and discussion at your fingertips - and at YOUR time

ShanaVWhite Jul 26 @ 8:41 PM EDT

Q6: How has the usage of social media changed how we communicate as educators? #ETCoaches

mrssangstertech Jul 26 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A6 I've been teaching 6 years - I would think 20-30 year teachers, it has changed parent communication a lot - fewer phone calls #etcoaches

AndersonEdTech Jul 26 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@MrsMHenning One must really think twice before posting, I really wish more would do that, it would save a lot of trouble #ETCoaches
