A2 SO MUCH! We use Morning Meeting to learn about each other and to build out our classroom culture. We will also do a lot activities to get to know each other since we have so many kids that haven't been at school together. #prosper4ward
A1: I am looking forward to more heavily implementing 20% time in my classroom. We caught a glimpse at the end of last school year and I can’t wait to see where it takes my Health students!! #Prosper4ward
A2: Build intentional time in to get to know my kids and their interests the first week. They are creating an “All About Me,” Google Slide in which they will add 3 things about themselves, including their likes. We will share it with the class! #Prosper4Ward

A2: I will have four questions posted around the room for the kids to answer (1) What do you want to learn this year? (2) How do you want to learn it? (3) How do you want to share what you learned with your community? (4) What questions do you have? #Studentvoice#prosper4ward

A2- The 1st week of school is a great way to for me to get to know my kiddos. They will have many opportunities to share about themselves. I love when I learn about them. RELATIONSHIPS FIRST! #Prosper4ward#TransformProsper Flipgrids for sure!
A2 Something I did early on in my Theater Arts classes was teach kids how to appropriately give both positive and "needs improvement" critique to each other. Helped kids to feel safe in class, helped them help each other learn. @pflug327 calls this Critical Friends #Prosper4ward
With the awesome work our ITSs have been doing kinders now have a way to log on to their chrome books! @edtechPhillips thank you and all of your team for what you do to make it possible for our students to experience learning outside of our classroom walls! #PRosper4ward
A2 It's ALL about those relationships. I want to be intentional about connecting with others, asking purposeful questions, and showing I care through listening. Once kiddos know you care, they care. #Prosper4ward
A2: Books and conversations! I've got a lineup of picture books ready to help start discussions within my classroom about kindness, teamwork, and handling conflict! #prosper4ward#pisdbalancedliteracy
A2: I find it so important to establish classroom meetings. This is a safe place where the students and I can learn and share. Great article about the positive impact classroom meetings have: https://t.co/ElWrtGaZLq#Prosper4ward#TransformProsper
Q2: I incorporated a family wall into my classroom where students can bring pictures of family members or people who are important to them to share with the class. I will also share pictures of my family. Students can add to it throughout the year. #prosper4ward

We will have morning meetings daily, discuss bring mindful of others, learn different calm down techniques, and implement a kindness board. @Spradley_El#prosper4ward
Joining the #prosper4ward chat from a house that is way too hot!! Broken AC is what I came home to today!! All good not gonna let it steal my joy!! Reynolds Health representing!!
A2: I will be meeting with my students each morning to get to know them as they get to know the school! It’s all about hugs and love in Kinder! #prosper4ward
A2: I want to learn more about the little things that make them happy and bring them joy. Then build on that foundation. #TransformProsper#Prosper4Ward
A2 conversations with individual students- what are their strengths, passions, goals, and let them know I am here to support them in those pursuits. Activities that have built in success to build a safe environment and trust and respect. #Prosper4ward
A2: Make mistakes to model the importance of growth mindset. We will learn about the parts of the brain 🧠 during Morning Meeting to help grow our self talk in a positive way! #growthmindset#Prosper4ward#TransformProsper
A2- I plan on doing lots of SEL w/ my kiddos. 1 thing I want to do is have my kids do a “One thing I wish my teacher knew” Flipgrid response only for me. I want them to be really open and honest with what they want me to know about them so we develop that trust. #prosper4ward
A2. I will be the smiling face that will direct students in the right direction and give hugs for those who are struggling! I will also be a support to all teachers! #Prosper4ward
A2: Figure out student’s interests. This will help me shape project ideas and better engage Ss in the learning process, and not to mention trends to add in the @YRBKrogersMS ! Will use class Bingo games and Google Forms to find out! #Prosper4ward
A2 I talk to them. Like, really talk. I let them make some decisions about how our class is run. This year, I am having one child a day stand at the door as the children leave and say something positive and give a hug/high 5 or a fist bump! #Prosper4ward
Yeah, they are pretty awesome! @NJSmithEDU@rlmiller137@Whitney_Agee Our technology department made it possible! You have to love when everyone believes in doing what is best for kids! #prosper4ward
In reply to
@gmnelson_, @AshleyMiAdams, @NJSmithEDU, @rlmiller137, @Whitney_Agee
A2: I love doing stem based ice-breaker to see how each of my students think and work with others. I find our “connection” as we conversation during the activity. #Prosper4ward
Alex Crosbie, Secondary ELAR Design Coach, late to the party! A1: I’m looking forward to supporting teacher and serving students in my new role! #prosper4ward
A3: Moving from elem to middle school will be an adjustment in building relationships outside of my team, but I really just think intentionally being involved will help with that #prosper4ward

A1 I am looking forward to being able to go into classrooms to work with students and teachers to help find ways for students to generalize skills #Prosper4ward
A2- this year we are implementing SWPBIS at Baker. I’m looking forward to catching students modeling behaviors for others and praising them for setting such a great example! @BakerElem#Prosper4ward
A2: building relationships with canvas #oneword handprint paintings inclusive of each of my close to 200 Ss. It will hang in my room, reminding that we each are capable of creating masterpieces when we follow our compass! Don’t worry pics will follow! #prosper4ward
Q3 Prosper has opened 2 new campuses and hired 350+ new staff this year. How will you build relationships with everyone at your school to create a positive campus culture? #Prosper4ward
A3: I strive to stop by rooms of my colleagues in other areas of the building to build relationships. A hug, a smile, a laugh, and short conversation actually goes a long way. Knowing others on campus is essential to strengthening campus culture. #TransformProsper#Prosper4ward
A3: I love what someone in a chat last night said! Listen to HEAR not to respond. I think if we do this with everyone it will make us stronger collaborators regardless of who we are with! #Prosper4ward
A3: Promote PLN and Twitter chats!!!. Discuss collaborating on presentations. Help them to understand that it is ok to think OUTSIDE of the box #Prosper4ward
A2: Is it ok to say I’m going to be myself? I like to open honest and comfortable with my students so they can be the same with me. We usually do a “me” presentation of some kind. #prosper4ward
A2 We will set goals and expectations for our year together. This will be very informal while we are sitting around the beanbags and getting to know each other. #Prosper4Ward
A3 Twitter chats like this are good start. I've been interested to see if any campus starts its own Twitter chat. I think it could help connect teams across the campus. #Prosper4ward
A3: This is one of my big goals this year. I'm such an extrovert that it is easy for me to just walk up to people and make a conversation, so that's what I'm gonna do! @ProsperRogersMS teachers Don't be surprised if I show up in your room to chat with you! #Prosper4ward
Q3 Prosper has opened 2 new campuses and hired 350+ new staff this year. How will you build relationships with everyone at your school to create a positive campus culture? #Prosper4ward
A3: Write a small note to a member outside their team thanking them for a deed. Be a servant leader, and lend a helping hand. Smile and let them know they’re appreciated. #Prosper4Ward#EmpoweringThirdGraders
Noelle Witte here! Sorry I'm late to the party! I'm @ProsperHS this year teaching Humanities (AP World History) and Pre-AP World History. I'm ready for a great year! #Prosper4ward
A3 We plan on pairing grade levels up to work together as book buddies and more. Stuff outside of school is so important too! Can't wait to start relying on each other. #Prosper4ward
this is why the kiddos flock to you. you let them know they can be themselves and it is okay to be open and honest. @ProsperRogersMS is a blessed place to have you! #prosper4ward
I’ve always done this-mynkids know that before they go home they get a high5, a fist bump or a hug. They choose (or not). But im@hoping by having a classmate stand at the door with me, they feel double the love! #Prosper4ward
A3 With so many new people on my campus it is awesome, we are all learning names and making it a point to build a family....#weareallnewbies@spradley. Lol #Prosper4ward
A3: I am trying to be more intentional with feedback and positive notes to the teachers, grade level teams, and classes I work with this year! #transformProsper#Prosper4ward
A3: I’m really hoping 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻that some of my teachers will let me come teach their kiddos every once in a while! @KristiWestphal ????? Pretty please? #Prosper4ward
A3 - I will get out of my comfort zone and start conversations with coworkers I don't know (YET). I am an introvert, but need to act like an extrovert. #prosper4ward
A3 Learning names is HUGE! I'm working hard at getting them all down, thank y'all for your grace as I do so. :) Also, Sonic drinks are my love language, so I try to spread happiness that way at times. #Prosper4ward
A3: @JanuaryRowe just posted about this with #TeacherTips! I love that she said, "Make a co-worker... into a friend!" Take a quick walk to the front office or to the other hallway to check in with people or just say hi! Smiles are contagious! #Prosper4Ward#TransformProsper
I'm looking most forward to exploring new technology and getting more comfortable with all the Google knowledge I've acquired in the last few months. I'm thankful @ProsperISD has given me the opportunities other districts don't. #Prosper4ward
One of my goals this year is to actually eat in the teacher's lounge with other teachers instead of working through lunch. I need to take the time to visit and build relationships! #Prosper4ward
A3: the FORD method on starting conversations is great. Family, Occupation, Recreation, and Dreams. Also being able to help others follow their passions outside of teaching. If we follow our passions it will impact students relationships immensely #Prosper4ward
A3 Our campus has revamped our Sunshine Committee & has come up with fun ways to interact with each other. We will have food and fun! Each staff meeting will incorporate icebreakers & bring people outside your immediate team together. #transformprosper#prosper4ward
A3: celebrate their achievements & birthdays, be there when they need to chat, share resources & ideas and get them coffee once in a while. #TransformProsper#Prosper4Ward
A3 If you can offer help of any kind to someone, do it. It’s easy to say we are too busy, but it is always worth it. It shows your peers you care and they are supported. Also ask for help from others; everyone has a skill and wants an opportunity to share it. #Prosper4ward
I have been going to the “new to me” teachers i have met during our pd at Cockrell and having a conversation with them. It could be as simple as a hello, can I help you with anything today or just a hello, how are you doing. It’s been a great week with new people. #prosper4ward
I would love to do some cross curricular planning. I’m looking to possibly have my students writing critiqued by an English class or maybe tie our One Act Play Into what’s going on in social studies. #prosper4ward
I really want to connect with my students this year. I want them to know I'm here for them and ready to support them in their pursuit of success. Good get to know you activities are a big priority for me. #Prosper4ward
#Prosper4ward I stop by their rooms to say Hi. I connected with another teacher that was @hugheselem last year but we didn’t really get to know each other. We totally bonded over ‘essentials’ and even have a secret way of communicating!! Lol! #talkiseverything
A3: being new to my school and district, I just ask their name and ask a question. Knowing and talking to more professionals leads to personal professional growth. We’re all family now. #notshy#whatsyourname#Prosper4ward
I am on the Campus Climate Committee and am excited to see how we can help plan fun events and possibly a chili cook off to help bring the school together! #prosper4ward
A3. Offer to help them with their rooms, finding books for the lessons and suggesting new ones, let them know that my office is always open if they need a friendly ear. #prosper4ward
A3-I am honored to serve as a mentor teacher this year, and I plan to partner with a lower grade level for reading buddies. #prosper4ward#TransformProsper
A1: I am so pumped about being able to be self-contained again and really building the relationships with my students. With 1:1 technology, the possibilities are endless. #prosper4ward
Q3- “DIRT” it’s my job!! Developing Intentional Relationships With Teachers. It’s about putting the positive energy forward to make it happen. Putting it on the schedule to go see someone new. Visiting new teachers to make sure they know they are loved. #prosper4ward
A3- coming to a new district and opening a new school- you have to put yourself out there- be a little uncomfortable- make a new friend- share a smile- it has been easy for me in PISD- everyone has been amazing 💚 Twitter is a great way to connect! #prosper4ward
A3 Getting out of my comfort zone and having intentional conversations across the campus and district. Also participating in tech chats like this one! #Prosper4ward
A3: We picked names of staff members we don't know & will write something encouraging about them and give it to them after getting to know them during the week. #Prosper4ward
A3: @Spradley_El has been doing a great job of creating vertical groups to collaborate with each other. I am looking forward to going to see all the great ideas that everyone brings to spradley k-4 I’m coming #Prosper4ward
A3: I would love to do some cross curricular planning. I’m looking to possibly have my students writing critiqued by an English class or maybe tie our One Act Play Into what’s going on in social studies. #prosper4ward
A3: I’m looking forward to getting to know my peers by making connections through professional aspirations, by offering a helping hand, and by listening to all the great things people do in their classrooms and for their students! #Prosper4ward
A3: @Jenfa78Morris I simply want to build a relationship and work collaboratively in doing what's best for our kids. Whatever it takes, because we are going to TRANSFORM PROSPER!!!! #Prosper4ward#TransformProsper
A3. Today we drew cards with a campus employee’s name on it. We will write notes of encouragement and great things we notice them doing. Our Sunshine committee has several ideas to encourage us to get to know all of the staff. #cockrellchamps#Prosper4ward
A3: more cross-curricular lessons! I loved collaborating up with @MrsWrightDraws last year for an art/photoJ smash up. This year I would really like to team up with core content classes to intertwine with CTE. #Prosper4ward
A2- The first week will consist of getting to know the building and each other in a new school! Lots of team building and hands on activities! #Prosper4ward
Have you expanded your PLN tonight? Did you find new ideas for the first day/week of school? Can you believe our last question will be in 2 minutes?!?! #Prosper4ward
A3- I’ve joined two new committees at school this year. I’ve already spent several days this summer working closely with several colleagues/committee members I now consider friends. #Prosper4ward
#Prosper4ward A1- looking forward to spending crucial instructional time on the Essential Standards so students have deep understanding and build skills they can take with them and use in the years ahead of them @PISDReynolds#TransformProsper
A3: I'm going to find time regularly to step out of portable-land and into the halls of the school, sticking my head into doors for a quick chat! #Prosper4ward
A3 part 2: I will have a student teacher this year so I hope that I can just be half as great as my mentor teacher was when I was student teaching! #Prosper4ward
A2: I'm looking forward to having daily class meetings building our community and focusing on the importance of SEL in the classroom. We are family! #prosper4ward
A3. Since we’re all new @Spradley_El I want to learn the names of all our staff members as quickly as possible and develop connections that go beyond just saying “hello” in the halls! #SpradleyFamily#Prosper4ward
Q4 Your Instructional Technology Coaches can't wait to help you with your goals. Tag your ITC and tell them something they can help you with this year! #Prosper4ward
A4: What DOESN'T @MandyatSchool help me with?? Since this is my first year to teach 8th grade OL, I will need help incorporating tech into that and encouraging my teammates to try it as well. #prosper4ward
Q4 Your Instructional Technology Coaches can't wait to help you with your goals. Tag your ITC and tell them something they can help you with this year! #Prosper4ward
A4: Just some shoutouts now: @TxTechChick knows how I feel about her. We are a team and I love learning/presenting/collaborating with her! @edtechPhillips@MandyatSchool no words how much I love you two! So glad we have become presenting partners and friends! #Prosper4ward
Q4 @ProsperISD my ITS rocks! @NJSmithEDU he does so much to help us...and quickly!! Now..if we could just get that AI situation fixed 🤣🤣🤔😉 #Prosper4ward
@rlmiller137 I really want some training on google classroom, I use it tons but it has all been self taught! Am I missing something? Using it to its full power? Student feedback? Grading!!! I want to use it efficiently!! #Prosper4ward
We are so lucky to have @MandyatSchool at @ProsperRogersMS! She is so inspiring! Your positive attitude is huge! Just continue to encourage me, inspire me, and push me to be a better educator as you did last year! #Prosper4ward
A3: Models of transparency were set when the more experienced teachers discussed their weaknesses. As a school our principals asked our input in developing procedures and routines via chosen committees. Innovators mindset at its best. @Spradley_El#prosper4ward
Being in a new school, this is HUGE! I try to learn a new name everyday! When I see someone I don’t know I always say hello and find out their name and position so I can use it to build those relationships later!! #Prosper4ward
A4 @MandyatSchool help push me out of my comfort zone of P207B and connect with other math classes from around the country (and world) I know you have shown us some amazing opportunities and I need to take the leap to connect my Ss to other Math Ss #Prosper4ward
Q4 Your Instructional Technology Coaches can't wait to help you with your goals. Tag your ITC and tell them something they can help you with this year! #Prosper4ward
A4 Also feel free to ask me for help with ANYTHING. If I'm not the right person to help you, I'm always willing to figure out who is and put you in touch with them! #Prosper4ward
A4- @mlmaple I don’t hound often for help. Just having the tech I need to implement all my wonderful ideas is enough for me!! Ohh, and hound me until my Google Cert is done. Easier once hubs comes home. #imagooglecertslacker#prosper4ward
A4: @psoneil collaborations on how we can make PISD better, but we will need an adult lol no but seriously I’m excited to collaborate with you 👍🏻#Prosper4ward
A1: I’m looking forward to number talks in the 5th grade classroom. I am back in the math classroom after teaching only science for the past few years! #Prosper4ward
A2: I think it’s powerful when teachers are willing to share information about their own lives with students in addition to asking the students to share about themselves. Leveling the field is so important! #prosper4ward
@jetteachestech Don't let me get stuck in a "technology rut". If I use the same tools over and over they will lose their shine. I love to try new ones and get new ideas! #Prosper4ward
@Whitney_Agee we just ndid d our chrome book carts to get started! Haha! I don’t think you can help that too much but that is huge for me so I can start implementing technology right away! #Prosper4ward
A3 with a new campus we are getting to know everyone so we have been having fun chatting all over the building as we all unpack and get ready #Prosper4ward
A4 @rlmiller137 With the goal of more writing across the curriculum, what amazing things could we do with 1st graders? My kiddos used a google doc on our Science Fair Project last year and they thought that was awfully fancy 😉 #Prosper4ward
A4: @NJSmithEDU May be hearing from me a lot because everything technological is new to me. It's major that I was able to Tweet tonight without his help! 🤪#Prosper4ward
A4 - @rlmiller137 you can literally help me with everything! Yes that includes the email earlier about how to answer the posts tonight 😂 Google Classroom is very intriguing...and intimidating! #Prosper4ward
A4 I want to become Google certified this year so i will need to learn the Google things I am not as familiar with and I will need @NJSmithEDU help!! He’s the best. #Prosper4ward
A4: @hugheselem teachers have great ideas of things they'd love support on, one of them being how to empower students to set goals and collect data. I reached out to @NJSmithEDU to see if he knew of any digital tools these teachers could use. #prosper4ward#TransformProsper
A4: I’d like to know some other tools for math pertaining to quick questioning as I begin the year. I’m familiar with padlet but always looking for better. No rush! @Whitney_Agee#Prosper4ward
A4: 1: I could always use a set of extra hands to teach aspects of iMovie, iPhoto,GB and using MacBooks since it is so different from chrome books. Also I want to find ways to continue supporting the duration of resources for my student, maybe @wakelet@rlmiller137#Prosper4ward
@psoneil has already been serving as an advisor for how to build the brand with our literacy vision. Collaboration is one of the best things about this job! Thanks Patrick! #Prosper4ward
A2: Learn names before they walk in, Team building breakout, spend time with students at lunch and recess, and a quick subject based interest inventory to learn what they like. #Prosper4ward
A2- get to know Ss through flipgrid intros and taking time to share about myself, let them get to know each other. Learning happens in places where trust is built. @PISDReynolds#Prosper4ward
A4- @rlmiller137 I would love to use digital breakouts!! I would love to learn how to use them more and even design a few of my own... also can we talk about the wireless use of our laptops to our projectors? 😜🤣 I kid... I kid... #prosper4ward
@EngageInWriting convinced our team of just this a couple of years ago. The rest of us always worked through lunch. What a difference this made for us with our team and others around us! #TransformProsper#prosper4ward
One of my goals this year is to actually eat in the teacher's lounge with other teachers instead of working through lunch. I need to take the time to visit and build relationships! #Prosper4ward
@MandyatSchool helps me every day with all my technology needs. She helps me help my students with co writer, speak it, google translater -whatever I need! and is always looking for tools that will help engage my reluctant readers and writers! thankful!! #Prosper4ward
A4. @rlmiller137 you are the best and can't wait to learn from you! Excited to collaborate with you and provide technology integration for staff at @RuckerRocks#Prosper4ward
A4. I want to empower my students with technology and allow them more control of their learning! Plus a break out box would be fun too! 😀@rlmiller137#Prosper4ward
Mark your Calendars for next month's #Prosper4ward chat. It will be on September 13 8pm CST. An archive of tonight's chat will be posted tomorrow https://t.co/w4pyCypGRE
Also, would like help to build relationships beyond school with Google Hangouts—eg.,Percents Unit and letting Rogers Math students meet/learn from my childhood friend who works for PIXAR. Math in the Real World.

A2. I like my students to get to know me as a person, the things I am interested in and the people I love. We will do lots of talking and sharing not just the first few weeks, but throughout the year. #Prosper4ward
So sad I had to miss #Prosper4ward, but just caught up and WOW! I am so excited for this year and for getting to learn and connect with all of you amazing people. #bestyearever
A3: I would love to continue a version of the airplane buddies @DelaineUlmer did last year. I loved learning about and spoiling my buddies. The reveal at the end was lots of fun! #Prosper4ward
A4: I ❤️ @MandyatSchool so much! I really want to enter my PhotoJ Ss work into a few Journalism contests this year and overall make their work more public. Would love to walk through it with you! #Prosper4ward
Yes! A. You ARE tweeting...that is the best start!!! B. Start by asking them...im always amazed by what they already know! C. ALWAYS here to bounce ideas :-) @gcouros is an awesome resource for sure! #Prosper4ward
#Prosper4ward A3- connecting with peers is important for teachers, an innovator mindset characteristic! So spend time in school in positive conversations rather than eating at my desk, mostly, being present in the moment, listen and share my thoughts in response @PISDReynolds
I am looking forward to spending more time in classrooms! Retaining our awesome staff starts with knowing what they need & the best way to see that is getting into classrooms! #prosper4ward

Math is such a cool class for Breakouts! @Anticona_Math made a really fun one for the kids last year and would be a great connection for you! #Prosper4ward
