A1:Passion is engine to that turns on great instruction!
A1 Passionate teachers are legendary in movies. That's no accident. Students remember their most passionate teachers.
Why hello, my friend! ! :)
A1- passion drives learning. Ss love to learn when they're passionate about what/how they're learning.
A1: Passion is the natural desire to learn and grow. Permission to engage in and study personal passions are critical to success.
A1: Passion is everything! It's what gets you out of bed, motivates you to spend 10+ hrs/day at work, what makes your heart smile
Wow! I'm seeing a lot of leaders at tonight's
A1: Passion is contagious! Students can tell when you love your job and when you're just going through the motions.
A1: Our personal passions (like hobbies) can also help to create unique classroom experiences for Ss. Important to share them!
But who doesn't go for it on 4th and goal from the 1 on the opening drive of the game?
If you are passionate about what you are doing in the classroom then Ss are passionate about what they are learning. Carry over
A1:Passion is the engine that turns on great instruction!
No doubt. Passions from the outside can spur passion in learning
absolutely agree here. I make it a point to share about myself and my life to help foster positive relationships

A1: Passion is contagious! Students can tell when you love your job and when you're just going through the motions.
A1: Without passion, there is no basis to even do what we do. The French term "raison d'Γͺtre" comes to mind.
Passion allows us to create opportunities that foster growth among all stakeholders
No doubt. Wonder why it doesn't though?
A1: The Element is when natural talent meets personal passion. says
Interesting that you call that "fun" https://t.co/8Bk1HaXDCu

A2: I ask them, go to their events, mingle with them during lunch, notice their work.
A2: Ask, listen and share your own passions.
A2: Keep it simple...listen, observe, and let Ss do the talking!
lol. Don't do that to yourself
A2 interest surveys, ask parents to tell us in a "million words or less" about their child, have authentic conversations
A2) Student-driven learning opportunities. If you must have "pacing guides", leave holes in them, especially early in the year.
A2: spend "casual" time with them in hallways, lunch, after school. Be in classrooms to hear there convo's -passions revealed
A2. Ss would fill out questionnaires. I would engage in authentic conversations and be visible at activities not and out school.

A2: Showing Ss passion earns respect & support. 12 Highland Ss showed up at a WKHS playoff game this year
A2: I love my job. Ss often see "band" as more than a class - we bond as a family and learn about each other.
A2 Watching , listening & talking with Ss. They are "open books" and will tell you a lot.
A2-Isn't there a song about that? Listen...with your ears, eyes and hearts.
So important to build relationships! https://t.co/URxdJqbvSh
Q2: You learn about Ss passion by talking with and listening to your students. Share too! When you open up, they open up.
A2: find opportunities to see them outside the classroom- sport events, performing arts, lunch room... talk to them inside & out
without a doubt. That's been the best relationship builder with students the last few years
good take, Scott. Gives me something to reflect on. And, are they interdependent of each other?

True. It's a shame it is such a small part of the day for Ss (& doesn't exist at all for some Ss)
Q2 first project in iPad class is a about them, certain ?s to get to know the kids
A2. Celebrate Ss passions at events, games, performances, et.al. They know when you are there!!
A2 You won't know about your students' passions unless you ask. Maybe they don't realize their passions because no one ever asked.

A2: besides building relationships w/Ss, giving them a variety of new lrning experiences so that they may discover their passions
A2: Interest surveys, daily blog writing about their passions/interests/experiences with small discussions about their responses!
A2: Take advantage of in between times. Hall exchanges, lunch, before/after school are all great places to learn about students
Good question. I need to look through my highlights in the book.
A2 finding out about students passion is also a great opp to involve the parents.
A1: passion for learning is made when students realize they are capable! It is what keeps them wanting to learn more
A2: I began every Week with "Monday Minutes" time to share about weekend experiences/events, quickly learned about their passions.
yep. Will be at UA on Saturday morning for Sectionals before my daughter has a meet at 6 :-)
And I love how you help partner with students to bring this out with the students!
So cool! Also - school activities provide a family experience that many Ss don't get at home.
A2 Ask them what they're reading, listening to, or games they play. All mirror some Ss passion.
slowing down to remember the purpose should be a part of daily practice. Keeps passions strong!

Absolutely perfect. Couldn't agree more! https://t.co/9iM4kDp3YV

Would it be possible that a purposeful creator will spark a new passion while reaching the outcome?
A5 Passion gets students' attention, but it's wasted if only done for effect with no greater purpose in mind.
