HoffmannClass Oct 4 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1: I think we're made. Some inherent skills might be needed, but it takes a lot of training. #MTedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Oct 4 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1 Great teachers are MADE out of hard work, passion & the desire to inspire Ss #mtedchat

LaatschNick Oct 4 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A1: A person can only do what they know. To do something different, they need to see a better way. (1/2) #MTedchat

WehrdScience Oct 4 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A1: Ts are unique & it seems to be inherent, but w/great support I'd like to think anyone can achieve greatness :) #mtedchat

Both. Great teachers have instinct,empathy and charisma. They also put in the time and stay current on practices and PD. #mtedchat

bnredmond Oct 4 @ 10:09 PM EDT

#mtedchat A1: Natural talent is huge, but it doesn't mean much if they don't also have the desire to grow. The special ones have both

watsonmontana Oct 4 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A1: It is a little of both; great Ts are mostly made, but have to be born with the right mindset. #MTedchat

WehrdScience Oct 4 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@watsonmontana A great man, great teacher of mine, and a great friend! Say hi to Judy and Barb! :) #mtedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Oct 4 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A1 part 2 Develop and support great Ts w/ praise, recognition—a little goes a long way! #mtedchat

cristama - Moderator Oct 4 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A1: I think some people come by teaching more naturally than others, but becoming a teacher is coachable; reflective & responsive #mtedchat

PrincipalNyberg Oct 4 @ 10:13 PM EDT

#mtedchat A1b: You grow Ts the same way you hope they grow their Ss. Find their passions, diff support, and then get the heck out of the way

techyturner Oct 4 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A1 Natural teachers are made AND born. Nature gives the talent but it had to be nurtured. #MTedchat

cristama - Moderator Oct 4 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@watsonmontana @wehrdscience I love it when networks intersect! #mtedchat

Q2: Montana schools are diverse in every way. How can we advance equity in education across the state? #MTedchat

cristama - Moderator Oct 4 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@PrincipalNyberg @techyturner It is... Must scaffold and sustain support... Gradual release and encourage risk taking. #mtedchat

HoffmannClass Oct 4 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@PrincipalNyberg I use a lot of sports analogies in class to connect with Ss. #MTedchat

bnredmond Oct 4 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@cristama very possible. I'll complain to our moderator for the evening and let you know what she says. #MTedchat

WehrdScience Oct 4 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A2: In WA, we started the WA Teacher Advisory Council promoting Ss & Ts excellence for equity/equality & can share our success? #MTedchat

HoffmannClass Oct 4 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A2: Reading Montana Literature helps. I have several recommendations! #MTedchat

lanceboyd30 Oct 4 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@cristama A2: By providing experiences that are rich and meaningful. Also, we must provide preschool for every student in MT. #mtedchat

watsonmontana Oct 4 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A2: Equity starts with mutual understanding and appreciation for differences. We need to establish that culture. #MTedchat

cristama - Moderator Oct 4 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A2: The first step to advancing equity is by sharing real experiences. The disparity needs to be seen to be addressed. #mtedchat

HoffmannClass Oct 4 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A1: Winter in the Blood, Montana 1948, and Blind Your Ponies are my favorites though. #MTedchat

techyturner Oct 4 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@PrincipalNyberg Very much so! A great teacher will give you those who encouraged, inspired, and gave them tools to be better. #mtedchat

bnredmond Oct 4 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@PrincipalNyberg @techyturner and just like an athlete, what happens when a good T doesn't work, listen to feedback and grow? #MTedchat

WehrdScience Oct 4 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A taste of our Twitter Fest last week! #mtedchat https://t.co/dzZABcuUke

HoffmannClass Oct 4 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@cristama Literature can help bridge those divides. It's how we can learn about others. #MTedchat

cristama - Moderator Oct 4 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@bnredmond Ha!! Yes please. I hear she is a bet temperamental though. Tread lightly. #mtedchat

bnredmond Oct 4 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@cristama A2) Continue to provide opportunities and support where needed in both schools and communities. #MTedchat

cristama - Moderator Oct 4 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@HoffmannClass I agree... I also think decision-makers need to take road trips to other campuses. Seek empathy & understanding #mtedchat

cristama - Moderator Oct 4 @ 10:21 PM EDT

@lanceboyd30 Ha! Yes... Hold that thought... Question 6!! ;) #MTedchat

LaatschNick Oct 4 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A2: When I think of equity, I think of all Ss receiving access to a rich & rigorous curriculum. #mtedchat

HoffmannClass Oct 4 @ 10:22 PM EDT

@cristama I think teacher education programs need to send prospective T's to as many places as possible. #MTedchat

techyturner Oct 4 @ 10:22 PM EDT

@bnredmond Simple answer...Help them diagnose why, which tools are missing, and how to use them to move forward. #mtedchat @PrincipalNyberg

cristama - Moderator Oct 4 @ 10:22 PM EDT

@HoffmannClass I would agree... I did my student teaching in a small school near where I work now. That experience resonated. #mtedchat

cristama - Moderator Oct 4 @ 10:24 PM EDT

A2: Fact: It took us four weeks to bring milk to our school via vendor. Four weeks. Actually had easier time getting fiber-optics #mtedchat

PrincipalNyberg Oct 4 @ 10:24 PM EDT

@techyturner @bnredmond I'm giong back to fundamentals with my T. Relationship building... #mtedchat

cristama - Moderator Oct 4 @ 10:25 PM EDT

Q3: What changes need to be made to help attract and retain our most effective educators? #MTedchat

cristama - Moderator Oct 4 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A2: Equity goes far beyond socio-economic status, technology access, and opportunity to branch out. Smallest details are important #mtedchat

bookwormmarla Oct 4 @ 10:25 PM EDT

#mtedchat A2 About equity - we can't know others until we live with them on their home turf, where they can be themselves.

MrBarry628 Oct 4 @ 10:26 PM EDT

@cristama Y'all reach out to me for a US history job, that's what :) #mtedchat #montana

bnredmond Oct 4 @ 10:26 PM EDT

@PrincipalNyberg @techyturner same as with trouble students, I suppose. Trust first, learn second. #mtedchat

cristama - Moderator Oct 4 @ 10:26 PM EDT

RT @bookwormmarla #mtedchat A2 Abt equity - Can't know others until we live w/them on their home turf, where they can be themselves. (YES!)

PrincipalNyberg Oct 4 @ 10:26 PM EDT

#mtedchat A3: really hoping weekly donuts is at least part of the correct answer.

bookwormmarla Oct 4 @ 10:27 PM EDT

#mtedchat A2 about equity, contd. Until we really understand the "others" we try our best to be fair and empathetic.

HoffmannClass Oct 4 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A3: In Eastern MT, we need more accessible PD. Can't always go to Helena or Missoula. #MTedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Oct 4 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A3 I would like to see a state wide initiative to formally and informally mentor Ts in their first 3 years. #mtedchat

A3: Trust, treated as professionals = higher wages, college needs to create stronger support/Ed, did I mention Trust? #mtedchat

bnredmond Oct 4 @ 10:28 PM EDT

@cristama A3) a collaborative & supportive work environment is key. I may not like every decision my P makes, but I respect them. #mtedchat

@bookwormmarla Weird, isn't it? What app on the desktop? The Twitter website? Tweetdeck? #mtedchat

PrincipalNyberg Oct 4 @ 10:32 PM EDT

#mtedchat A3b: You have to help Ts make some sort of community connection. They have to like where they live as well as where they work.

bookwormmarla Oct 4 @ 10:32 PM EDT

#mtedchat A3 - Nothing beats a supportive, encouraging, positive environment.

cristama - Moderator Oct 4 @ 10:33 PM EDT

A3: I also believe a statewide mentoring system would be great. Distant coaching through video, etc. would help bring walls down. #mtedchat

HoffmannClass Oct 4 @ 10:33 PM EDT

A3: Though, I do think teacher prep programs need to do a better job prepping Ts to teach outside of college towns. #MTedchat

cristama - Moderator Oct 4 @ 10:34 PM EDT

A3: In fact, the kind of support found through coaching is an equity issue too. Oft, limited to big districts and/or Title 1. #mtedchat
