    Seasoned teachers definitely know which new teachers the kids like! If you hear good things abt a teacher, stop by & learn! #ElonEd

    It could always just be their picture with a thought bubble or light bulb! I think they just need to know they can do anything! #eloned

    Yes, that's an #ElonEd alum in the #NCTEchat. #allstar

    I agree. As someone who has been "tapped" and encouraged before it helped me to have the confidence to lead. #ElonEd
    • HeadPhoenix Sep 17 @ 8:51 PM EDT
      I am a big believer in "tap on the shoulder moments." Inspire someone to lead by offering encouragement & opportunity--powerful. #ElonEd
  • Courtintheclas1 Sep 17 @ 8:56 PM EDT
    That is definitely true! Great idea #eloned

        I want to double down on modeling civility. Even if we cannot change the issue, we change change the tone of the discourse. #ElonEd

          As a teacher you need to know when it comes to politics you don't pick sides ... be unbiased ... model civility #eloned

      I find ppl agree on the majority of things at the 10,000ft level. It's only when we get down to the 10ft level that breakdowns occur #eloned
