Hey #OrEdChat crew! Heather Marrs 3rd grade teacher and edtech teacher leader. My talent would be inspiring others to see things in themselves that they don’t see. At least I think it is... ;)
A1: I think a positive attitude and perseverance are my strengths. I want my students to have these qualities too. I try to show them that they can do what they think they can't and that each day is important and unique. :-)
A2: My dad is my first and my favorite mentor. He was a model of hard work and integrity. Always kind, always putting students first, always looking for the good, always learning and growing :-) #OrEdChat
A3: ...I feel like I am the Queen of Messy learning! I am always right in the thick of it with my students. We learn a lot together. I learn a lot from them. We laugh and help each other every day. :-) #OrEdChat
A3: So many messes...too many to count! Some physically messy, some just didn’t go over well, some I wish I could do over and some that I know I will never do again! Ha! Benefit of getting messy: you never miss a learning opportunity ;) #OrEdChat
A3: Messy learning is my middle name. Always times when a tech component doesn't work or I didn't think things through. Would be great if my brain and the tech always worked. :) #OrEdChat
A1: I'm a strong believer of Maslow before Bloom, Relationships first, Value all people, Show me the evidence, Design Process & Explore to learn. All good strengths for kids too #OrEdChat
A4: Honestly, I think I'm in it! I absolutely love working with my senior English students and seeing the joy in their successes and in their graduation! :-) #OrEdChat
A4: I love my job now. Dream job? Working with nature somehow. I'm going to try my best to connect nature to math so it's the best of both worlds. #oredchat
