I couldn't agree more...... to break the cycle of poverty, the cycle of abuse, the cycle of trauma..... it takes a group of people who decide enough is enough and work to help the kids..... #oklaed

BOOM! Maslow knew long ago that a child needed to have their needs met in order to learn. Sometimes, we forget that kids need to feel safe & secure, loved, well taken care of...... LOVED before they are ready to learn #oklaed

A2) My school’s biggest success is the family it is to everyone in the building. Students’ first words when asked about our building always center around how loved they felt that year. Faculty and staff resonate the same sentiment! #oklaed
A3. @DeMarreo is doing amazing things in the world. He joined my Leadership Program when he was a squirrel (you know you were 😝) because president at DC. Went to Langston U where he help founded @Langston_Bros. He now goes around talking to young men about success. #oklaed
@KristinAtchley@teachonyourtoes Follow up on the power of words: I heard more kindness and empathy during free choice centers yesterday. Using words to tell how they feel and solve their own issues. Progress!
Q3) A struggling, unmotivated S found a passion for books via GRAPHIC NOVELS. A year later, he is an insatiable reader. GNs don't get the credit they deserve! #oklaed
A3 I have a student that would not speak last year and this year she is opening up and seen lots of academic gains. There are so many successes in education, 😁#OklaEd
Isn't it amazing to wrong in a such a great professional environment. IMO, this is the key to professional growth. How do we truly know unless we have the ability to fail. Fail and learn makes all of us better. #oklaed
A3) Honestly, there are too many to single one out. The number of first gen college Ss who are rocking it in college makes my heart burst!!! Kids who wanted to give up & didnt. Kids who overcome more than most of us could imagine!!! I ♥️♥️ my Ss so much #oklaed
A3: Love when my Ss share their successes on Social Media and I get to see what awesome adults they've become, some are Teachers, some are successful in their own jobs but all want me to know how they are doing. 💕 #oklaed

A3: Daily I would see Ss struggle with suicide, addiction, sexual assault, etc. But they would keep going. They graduated, went on to post secondary and are doing well! #oklaED
Q3) A struggling, unmotivated S found a passion for books via GRAPHIC NOVELS. A year later, he is an insatiable reader. GNs don't get the credit they deserve! #oklaed
A2: Our district does a good job of finding and breaking the barriers to our students' success. We listen to students - What do they need? What do THEY think our schools need? #oklaed
I had a S when I was a 4th grade T who acted out daily. He is now a drum major for our HS band, heading to college, going to do amazing things. #oklaed
A3 This is a challenging Q not because there aren't any but because there are so many. So many of our Ss are the responsible party in their home and successfully prepare themselves and their siblings for school everyday. #oklaed
A3 - I see 150+ success stories every day in my classroom. I tell their stores everywhere I go. They are my inspiration to kee getting better as what I do. #oklaed#MdubLearns
One thing my school, @UofOklahoma, does is make sure we have access to as many resources as we need as pre-service teachers. This even includes extra iPads we can bring with us for implementing our lessons! #oklaed
A2). I am still a college student and do not have a school of my own yet. My mom is a principal in Guymon, OK and they have started a new focus on targeting the ed. gap by using high-quality pics because of the high ELL population in Guymon that is lacking vocab. #oklaed
Q2) #oklaed T success stories added to Ss success stories all add up to tell your school’s success story. Please share one thing your school does successfully that needs to be told. What should those not in your school know about the great things going on at your school?
A3: My students have success stories daily. Would be hard to share just one. Because success isn't only the Ss that made student council, or gifted and talented. Success is every. single. day. in my classroom. #oklaed
A3) I had the honor of seeing an OKCPS student who was suffering just a year ago from food insecurity, receive his acceptance to the University of Oklahoma in front of his peers and a large room of strangers that were pulling for him from the start. #oklaed
A4) Our art teachers work with our students to show them how to use art to vent their frustrations and emotions in a healthy way #oklaed#artisimportant#fullyfundart

A4. Mr. @LangleyOKC was just named his building’s TOY and does a great job of using social media to promote fitness for his elementary PE students and their families. #oklaed
This #oklaed student eats with a tube, travels in a wheelchair, and has rods up his spine to combat the scoliosis that developed from his cerebral palsy. But a #schoolchoice tax-credit scholarship is helping him to achieve his full potential. https://t.co/PaHYTs5qio
A3)When I go through the drive-throughs in Clinton,Isee former students.I tell them how proud I am of them working and going to high school,but it never fails that some of them say, “Ms.Donley! I have my drivers license because of you.”It’s not because of me;they did it. #oklaed
A4) My friend @DevonWool14 is absolutely transforming lives. She works w/students who are at risk of dropping out, but inspires them to gut it out. She holds them accountable, loves them, challenges them, & refuses to let them quit! #oklaed

A1) My personal success story is that I'm a first generation college graduate and I've paid my way through college receiving a few scholarships here and there. I had to research it myself because my family didn't know the process. Finishing my Ed.D. this semester. #oklaed
Q2) #oklaed T success stories added to Ss success stories all add up to tell your school’s success story. Please share one thing your school does successfully that needs to be told. What should those not in your school know about the great things going on at your school?
A4: love how @ebarnes73 is reaching all kids. Love how @ElizabethS_OK gives her heart in everything she does so kids can have healthy lives. @joy4ok has revolutionized our state agency & service to all kids #oklaED
A3) I had a S enter 4th gr. math on a 1st gr. level. We worked our tails off that yr and she finished at 3grade 8mo. She made more progress in 1 yr than most of her peers had in 2 yrs. In elementary we plant the seeds & hope they sprout. #oklaed
A:4 #oklaed@AubreeNoelle2 is an awesome teacher. She teaches outside of box and not the boxed curriculum. She creates a love or learning for her students. Her classroom is an inviting place.

A3) Last yr a S brought me a letter just before she grad from our alt ed school. She wrote of a time I took her into the hall and said I expected more of her, etc. I definitely don’t remember that! But she said it was many conversations like that that made her not quit. #oklaed
A4 #oklaed I'll give a shout out to my entire Leadership Team. No matter the hardship one of us has in our lives, someone else (usually a full-on squad) steps in to help keep the work we do for kids moving forward. It's usually behind the scenes work, but critical to our mission.

A4 I have a colleague that is always striving to be a better teacher, she is constantly talking to me about what we could do better, how she wants her students to be happy, she is not an attention seeker, so she goes unnoticed, but I see your love for students #OklaEd
A4) @JasonGalloway77 is my boys’ principal not a colleague but I love to brag on him. He’s really so amazing with Heartland students and makes an impact. #oklaed
A4: This one is easy, my neighbor and inspiration @kriscoop80 she is amazing with these kids, gives so much of her self and her time, she fills me with awe on a daily basis. #oklaed
A4) EVERY SINGLE adult #AlexPS treats Ss like they are their own children. We have a family that chooses to remain anonymous who bought over a $1,000 of winter coats last year for Ss. Our Ts bought Christmas presents for nearly 200 children last year on our angel tree #oklaed
A4) I've watched my wife Kristen, a senior counselor, take her 12 hour days and help raise the graduation rate at her high school. More importantly, I know she didn't do it on her own - it was a great group of educators that care. #oklaed

@clevelandtigers Has a couple of amazing middle school teachers. They are career changers and super committed to honing their craft, even if it means breaking down a lot of preconceived ideas. #oklaed#clevelandtigers

A4) This one is easy for me. Our Ag teacher and FFA advisor RJCurry does amazing things with our students. He is always challenging them, encouraging them to try something new. Even took a team to Scotland to judge! He is a hard working man and an inspiration!#OklaEd
Q4) I watched on of the teachers I was observing continue to try to build a positive relationship with a parent who refused to acknowledge her. She cares for this parent's child so much and had taken extra time out of her day to help him be successful in her classroom #oklaed
A4 - @Miz_Adams is constantly recommending and sharing books with her students to advance their reading and love of it. She does the same with her colleagues too! #oklaed#MDubLearns

A4: @IdabelPublicSch new Special Ed Teacher has started our Special Olympics program this year and hosted a multi district training to train more coaches. Plus she lead two separate teams to State Championships in soccer recently. #oklaed
A4). Just this week I had a discussion with my peer @TeacherKylie95 about her lesson plans she will be implementing in a few weeks over planets. She has spent a lot of time working on integrating the curriculum so the students will have fun with the activities. #oklaed

A4) New teachers come into our school with innovative ideas, and the FLY by teaching. Tanner, Rebecca, Derek, Dustin, Nikki, Rhett...this old T can’t keep up with them, so I’m learning from them along with their students. #oklaed

A4: Well, once last year a colleague and I took students home with us for the night bc they couldn't go to their home. DHS showed up and bc her and I are certified foster homes we were allowed to take them home. Any teacher would have done this if allowed. #Oklaed
I am a student still but I observed in a classroom and the teacher used ten minutes of class for genius time for Ss to work on a project of their choice. I saw Ss get so passionate about choosing a project that they had control over, instead of forced parameters. #oklaed
A4) Gretchen Fitzpatrick is amazing! Not only with her kids, but with all of them. She shares her resources and knowledge with the rest of us so our Ss succeed. This week, I had a child grinning through math work for the 1st time due to her tools/advice on how to help. #OklaEd
Q5) I've always been amazed at how easily & fast #oklaed failures find themselves being told or repeated. Why do you think failures move at the speed of light while our successes stay untold? How can we balance the stories being told about ourselves and our school?
I was sharing some hardships of a student in one of the classrooms I have been observing, and one of my teachers went out and bought a resource that he could use in the classroom to help him succeed. She has no relationship with this student, just saw a student in need! #oklaed
Upstairs A-Hall at DC are my peeps. The relationship we have with each other and S’s is like none other. Love working with them @Biobellrocks@Stv_Gilliland . #oklaed

A1) Through my time observing, tutoring, and implementing in several Norman schools, I have seen so many NPS Ts go above and beyond for their Ss. From advocating at school board meetings and the Capitol to building strong classroom communities and accommodating Ss needs. #Oklaed

#oklaed A3) The special need students at West always perform in the programs (Veteran's Day, Christmas, etc...) The spontaneous, sustained standing ovations of the student body always bring me to tears. You can't teach compassion - you experience it.
A2) Tuttle has amazing parent/community support. They fill the stands at activities and support academics as well. The students hold themselves to high standards and work to improve shortcomings. They don't like disappointing themselves or the adults in their lives. #oklaed
#oklaed A4 The team of staff that greet kids through the car line with a smile and kind word. Like the postman, they are there through all weather. Big positive influence.

A5) no one goes into teaching for the fame and glory of it. Unfortunately our society right now thinks it is more fun to drag the negative through the mud than to lift up and celebrate the good. #oklaED
Q5) I've always been amazed at how easily & fast #oklaed failures find themselves being told or repeated. Why do you think failures move at the speed of light while our successes stay untold? How can we balance the stories being told about ourselves and our school?
A5) It is imperative we get better at telling the + stories - we have incredible things happeminh daily. We are usually too busy doing the work. I read recently negative memories take up more brain space than +. We must begin to share the + more frequently. #oklaed
Q5) I've always been amazed at how easily & fast #oklaed failures find themselves being told or repeated. Why do you think failures move at the speed of light while our successes stay untold? How can we balance the stories being told about ourselves and our school?
A5: bc people are annoying in general, & don’t want to take the time to understand. We have to keep talking! This has gotten better since the walkout. We shouldn’t have waited so long to start sharing (in words, pictures, videos, and more) about what we TRULY do each day! #oklaed
Q5) I've always been amazed at how easily & fast #oklaed failures find themselves being told or repeated. Why do you think failures move at the speed of light while our successes stay untold? How can we balance the stories being told about ourselves and our school?
A4) ALSO.. my dear friend and long-time-ago teammate @KasNelson who I look to daily for her encouraging and enthusiasm for her Ss. She leads by example and never gives up! #OklaEd
A5) We live in a society that loves to watch people fail. We revel in it. 😔Plus, there is the narrative that “public schools are failing” so anything that pushes that forward. We have to share our success bc there are more of those than failures!! #oklaed
Q5) I've always been amazed at how easily & fast #oklaed failures find themselves being told or repeated. Why do you think failures move at the speed of light while our successes stay untold? How can we balance the stories being told about ourselves and our school?
A5. The negatives always find their voice. We don’t need to balance with positive, we need to overwhelm with all the great things we are doing. #oklaed
A5) Educators must invest in their community. We have to make sure there is at least 10 positive stories to every negative one. Sunday School classes, community center lunches, social groups like Kiwanis and Rotary needs #oklaed Ts telling our story
A4. @MrLangleyPE was just named his building’s TOY and does a great job of using social media to promote fitness for his elementary PE students and their families. #oklaed
A4: We have an amazing JROTC teacher who makes it a point to ask about a person's service if he knows they have served. He discovered a veteran in Mid-Del who is a Silver Star & Purple Heart recipient. This Mid-Del hero is a bus driver, who was celebrated by JROTC of DC. #oklaed
A5 As a society we thrive on gossip and love to tell how terrible others are. When we have a bad experience at a restaurant or store we are quick to rant to a receptive audience, we seldom share the good. Shame on us for failing in that regard. #oklaed
A5 bad things spread faster than the good things. I think this is why @jmidkiff theory of always posting positive on social media makes it harder to bring out the bad when you see so much good #OklaEd
A5 partly because we don’t make the good stuff known the other is unfortunately bad news is like ice cream to too many people. #FocusOnThePositive#oklaed
Q5) I've always been amazed at how easily & fast #oklaed failures find themselves being told or repeated. Why do you think failures move at the speed of light while our successes stay untold? How can we balance the stories being told about ourselves and our school?
A5). People are always quick to talk about others' failures, but very rarely share others' success stories or even celebrate in joy with them over their successes. I think a good way to find balance is to start a success wall at the school to show Ss and Ts successes. #oklaed
Q5) I've always been amazed at how easily & fast #oklaed failures find themselves being told or repeated. Why do you think failures move at the speed of light while our successes stay untold? How can we balance the stories being told about ourselves and our school?
A5: We joke about someone messing up their "ONE JOB" and hold it against them even though they may have done 99 other things well. We do this with each other and students. Our tendency is focus on the negative and want to be critical. Have to change! #oklaed
A4) I was sharing some hardships of a student in one of the classrooms I have been observing and one of my teachers went out and bought a resource that he could use in the classroom to help him succeed. She has no relationship with this student, just saw a student in need!#oklaed
A5: Everybody "knows" about education, they know what is okay and what isn't so when there is an example of someone or something who doesn't reach the public expectation it's easy to point out the flaws and misery loves company, but successes are more personal & private #oklaed
A5 (1/2) #oklaed Honestly, I don't feel this way at all. The print and broadcast media outlets in OKC have been pretty fair to us. I don't always want coverage when there's a negative story, but I don't blame them for reporting things that are newsworthy.
Q5) I've always been amazed at how easily & fast #oklaed failures find themselves being told or repeated. Why do you think failures move at the speed of light while our successes stay untold? How can we balance the stories being told about ourselves and our school?
A5: Good news doesn't sell. Nobody wants to hear it. Everyone wants to read the drama so they can comment and speculate and stir the pot. I think it's everyone's guilty pleasure. It's why everyone is on social media. Waiting for the next controversy. #Oklaed
A5 Too many times the community is looking for failure...maybe it's human nature, I don't know...be we should always look for the successes and find opportunity for future success in failure. #oklaed
A5: Keeping the spot light on ALL Ss successes, big or small! Also, by showing and modeling teacher, admin., and school wide successes. Celebrate each other! Keep the positive light on. You know, like Motel6. 🤣 #oklaed
Q5) I've always been amazed at how easily & fast #oklaed failures find themselves being told or repeated. Why do you think failures move at the speed of light while our successes stay untold? How can we balance the stories being told about ourselves and our school?
A5) Spend a lot of time dispelling myths about our schools when talking with voters. Usually they don’t have kids in school and believe the worst rumors they’ve heard (Yes, cursive still taught. Yes, schools still say the pledge of allegence, etc) #oklaed
Q5) I've always been amazed at how easily & fast #oklaed failures find themselves being told or repeated. Why do you think failures move at the speed of light while our successes stay untold? How can we balance the stories being told about ourselves and our school?
Q5) #oklaed I think that we live in a world where negativity outshines the positivity because we as a society don't take time to slow down and see where we are being successful. It seems easier to spread negativity instead of positivity, which is something we should change!
A5. I think it is because people are jealous of success stories and would rather tell failures to boost their ego. We have to just keep being the voice of success stories and start turning those failing stories into success stories. #oklaed
A5) Many people have to make themselves look better due to things not going right elsewhere. Ts must continue to talk about their jobs in the community. Ts must be present in the community. Ts should love going to work every day because they are making a difference. #oklaed
Q5) I've always been amazed at how easily & fast #oklaed failures find themselves being told or repeated. Why do you think failures move at the speed of light while our successes stay untold? How can we balance the stories being told about ourselves and our school?
A5) On social media we constantly have teachers and parents giving balanced perspectives to “failures” that just need a fresh set of eyes before getting blown out of proportion. Working round the clock to hold onto that honor of teaching your kid. #oklaed
A3) One of my former Ss was at risk for graduating, though he always was the sweetest kid. He recently graduated with his AA and is working as a TA in an elementary. Always has the kindest comments regarding his former Ts and visits them regularly. #oklaed
A5 #oklaed leaders and educators are busy DOING the work of serving students. Building relationships in the community including with local media can help provide that balance. People don't know unless you tell them.
Q5) I've always been amazed at how easily & fast #oklaed failures find themselves being told or repeated. Why do you think failures move at the speed of light while our successes stay untold? How can we balance the stories being told about ourselves and our school?
Silence is no longer an option. The narrative, the perception has been #oklaed is a failing system.Are you willing to just accept a false narrative.If the answer is NO, then what are we going to do about it. We must celebrate our success while our enemies celebrate our failures.
A5 (2/2) #oklaed We have also found that local media will jump on a positive story if we will let them know when great things are happening. I find them to be pretty balanced. The key is to cooperate with them.
Q5) I've always been amazed at how easily & fast #oklaed failures find themselves being told or repeated. Why do you think failures move at the speed of light while our successes stay untold? How can we balance the stories being told about ourselves and our school?
Q6) Social media has made it much easier for #oklaed to share their successes, but it shouldn’t be the only outlet. Share a best practice that doesn’t include social media on how you or your school tells their story.
A5 many people today are constantly looking to catch someone messing up as if it’s like winning an award and then they scream to anyone that will listen about their discovery #oklaed
I think part of it is our culture. The daily news is full of bad news. People are used to talking about negatives. We complain to build relationships with people. We need to focus more on the positive; change our mindsets.
#OklaEd

A5: I’ve been involved in one of the worst #oklaED days in our history when 7 of my Ss died. It’s the worst feeling. And now we have so many shelters in schools. Failures have a place in the conversation....
A5: But as @BatmanEducator TOY 2019 put it about the T shortage hundreds have left but THOUSANDS have stayed. Our success stories need to rise to the top! #oklaED
A5: It is truly sad that failures = ratings. All of our schools are full of success stories.....if we don’t tell them nobody will. Take every opportunity to tell the great things that are happening in #oklaed!!
The 10:1 rule! Just like when interacting with students, it is important that we mention 10 positive achievements/disciplines to the child for every negative achievement/discipline we mention. #oklaed
A5) Educators must invest in their community. We have to make sure there is at least 10 positive stories to every negative one. Sunday School classes, community center lunches, social groups like Kiwanis and Rotary needs #oklaed Ts telling our story
A5: Negativity sells. We (#oklaed) must be willing to tell our story and share all the great things going on. If there are always 2-3 sides to a story are you telling yours or is someone else? Make deposits, earn withdrawals.
A5) It’s easier to complain about the negative things that happen rather than take the time to think about the positive. It’s amazing the positive things that happen in #oklaed daily, you just have to take the time to recognize them.
Q5) I've always been amazed at how easily & fast #oklaed failures find themselves being told or repeated. Why do you think failures move at the speed of light while our successes stay untold? How can we balance the stories being told about ourselves and our school?
A5) At lunch after church, I had to stop bragging on all the amazing things happening at Union. Sometimes I think people get tired of my proselytizing. 😉 #oklaed

A5) Perception is reality. If we allow negative stories to shape the perception of #oklaed we are doing our Ss, T, and parents a huge disservice. Positivity is a choice, and one we need to strengthen as an intentional tool to build trust in our public schools.

A6) Having someone who can push those stories out on behalf of the district helps. A point of contact who can disperse them to all media outlets and community groups. #oklaed
Q6) Social media has made it much easier for #oklaed to share their successes, but it shouldn’t be the only outlet. Share a best practice that doesn’t include social media on how you or your school tells their story.
A6 Newspaper, school newsletter, website, the school marquee, recognition at events and civic clubs, all are viable options for sharing the good #oklaed
A6). I currently observe in a school in Norman that shares student successes outside of the classroom on a "success wall." They share clippings of newspapers of articles that mention the students in the school being successful in the community. #oklaed
Q6) Social media has made it much easier for #oklaed to share their successes, but it shouldn’t be the only outlet. Share a best practice that doesn’t include social media on how you or your school tells their story.
A6) Every week our 7th grade news crew produces a 10min show full of positive stuff going on: kindness student of the wk, athletes, hidden talent, and our favorite—the dance move of the week! It’s a huge hit! #oklaed
A5: It’s important to build positive relationships with media outlets, they will report the positive things if they know about it. Let them know! #oklaed
1 thing we are trying at #alexps is to tell our story first. Ts are encouraged to make contact with Ps before their children get home. IMO, Ps are better #oklaed partners when they hear the school's or Ts account of the issue first
A4: love how @ebarnes73 is reaching all kids. Love how @ElizabethS_OK gives her heart in everything she does so kids can have healthy lives. @joy4ok has revolutionized our state agency & service to all kids #oklaED

A5) Part of that is on us. How many times have you asked the press to a school event? Sent a press release? Written an editorial? A blog focused on the best of your classroom? Even a social media post. They don't know what they are missing because we don't tell them. #OklaEd
A4) @OverholtShelley just came back to teaching this year when we needed a Spanish teacher. She has built a hands-on active classroom environment that is fun and super engaging. She is all about connecting with and meeting the needs of Ss and Ts in the bldg. #oklaed
A6) oh that’s a good question... outside of school... I brag to my future constituents how awesome the students of Oklahoma are and #oklaed success stories I hear.

A6 Invite families in...we need to do a better job of finding ways to invite the community in. When we're talking about our day or our week...we need to tell the good stuff! #oklaed

We try to share with our local news groups as well as a variety of communication w parents. Undoubtly we use social media the most. We have been blessed to have news media reach out wanting to feature us some. I share our local chamber, clubs etc. We have room for growth!#oklaed

A6: My school has the BEST PTA EVER and they constantly share our story! Also, we have such a huge community support that if none of us were ever on social media our story would still get out there. Our parents/community love our school and the things we are doing. #Oklaed
A6) Having strong leadership that recognizes the amazing things Ts and Ss are doing on a regular basis thru weekly school assemblies, faculty meetings, school board meetings, and at community events creates an open dialogue that shapes the school culture. #oklaed

A6: Use school marquees, letters to the editor, messaging to parents, speak at local civic clubs. But don't neglect the experience people have when they enter a school building or attend a school event. First impressions stick. #oklaed

A5) Negativity sells, unfortunately. The only way we can balance this is to be intentional about telling and sharing lots of positive stories. Let the positive outweigh the negative. Model the expectation so others begin to do the same. #oklaed
A6)Our newspaper is https://t.co/gCd6Gp15Or, every teacher in our district makes one positive contact with a parent each semester. At conferences I had 7 parents bring their notes from me and said something positive along with others making nice comments. #oklaed

A6) If I catch parents at events like games or practices or even in the store, I share with them success stories about their kid. Even if it's a small success. Not many hs parents get to hear about their kids' days from the teacher. #OklaEd
A6: Being active in local civic groups such as Kiwanis & Rotary. Great place for our people to share success stories. @beachdreaming44 is very involved for DCHS. #oklaed
Q7) We all agree it's important to celebrate our successes. Why do you think it is essential, both internally and externally to tell your story? Why is it important for #oklaed to celebrate its successes?
A7) The cool club of educators that make up #oklaed HAVE to take time to celebrate their successes. It's the balance of energy to push forward. With so much stress, there has to be reminders to keep up the good fight for our students #oklaed
Q7) We all agree it's important to celebrate our successes. Why do you think it is essential, both internally and externally to tell your story? Why is it important for #oklaed to celebrate its successes?
A7: it is so importantly share our successes so we can remember why we chose education as our career and to let the world know how amazing teachers really are 😁 #OklaEd
A7) Internally, success stories help maintain a positive culture in the building. Teaching is demanding work and we need success stories to help us through the tough times. #oklaed
A7: Sometimes in the daily grind, it gets hard to remember why we do this. Success stories are an important reminder of how far we've come, so that we can continue to do the work. #oklaed
A7) There are groups out there who want to portray public schools as failing and we all know that’s not the case. It’s important we show them otherwise!! #oklaed
Q7) We all agree it's important to celebrate our successes. Why do you think it is essential, both internally and externally to tell your story? Why is it important for #oklaed to celebrate its successes?
A7: We live the life. We know what awesome things are happening in our schools, but the public doesn't get our perspective. We MUST SHARE, invite them in let them see how awesome our kids are from where we stand! We can't do this alone. #oklaed
A7:Negative stories get attention all the time. We are the only ones who get to witness positive stories every day. If we dont share them, they will go untold. #oklaed
A6) We have positive referrals for Ss demonstrating exceptional behavior that goes beyond the norm. We celebrate it in the office and make positive calls home. Those calls don't get made enough. You can bet those parents then share the positives happening at the school. #oklaed
A7) I always say we dont wallow in our successes. We recognize success and in the next breath, say “and now...”. We need to sometimes just soak in the successes for a few days. It builds confidence and morale. Ts deserve it, so do kids! #oklaed
Q7) We all agree it's important to celebrate our successes. Why do you think it is essential, both internally and externally to tell your story? Why is it important for #oklaed to celebrate its successes?
A6: Community dinners, shout-outs to community partners about Ss success, on our marquee with what SEL words we are learning: “We are Cheerful!” , #OklaEd
A7) Success breeds success. Positive comments are planted and will bloom. Ts need to learn from each other, so sharing stories helps with that. #oklaed
Q7) We all agree it's important to celebrate our successes. Why do you think it is essential, both internally and externally to tell your story? Why is it important for #oklaed to celebrate its successes?
And we can learn from those failures and must do better. After that tragedy @RepMarkMcBride and I started Shelter Oklahoma schools and raised over 2 million dollars that was used to shelter over 10,000 #oklaed students and teachers
Q7) We all agree it's important to celebrate our successes. Why do you think it is essential, both internally and externally to tell your story? Why is it important for #oklaed to celebrate its successes?
A7b) Externally, #oklaed needs success stories to countermand the negatives our enemies put out there to make us look bad. Unfortunately, it is not a zero sum game.... failures are failures and 1 is too many.
A7: Telling your story gives your school a competitive edge in attracting students/families, teachers and leaders. Every student has a community of friends/family who can use their time, talent, treasure and vote to help a student's school. #oklaed
Q7) We all agree it's important to celebrate our successes. Why do you think it is essential, both internally and externally to tell your story? Why is it important for #oklaed to celebrate its successes?
A7 To an extent, we as a profession control our brand. We have to tell the stories that lead to the teacher shortage. Those are real. What's also real are the stories that keep us coming back to work in #oklaed everyday. The public needs that window into our world.
Q7) We all agree it's important to celebrate our successes. Why do you think it is essential, both internally and externally to tell your story? Why is it important for #oklaed to celebrate its successes?
A lot of people think our job is “babysitting” and “not important”. This perception is keeping some people from considering education as their profession. #Oklaed we must help people see the difference good education and teachers make.

A7: It's about image! We must do everything we can to show how "cool" it is to be an educator. I want us to attract more top-notch people into this profession that I love so much. Sharing successes can only help - all successes of S's, T's, schools, #oklaed & more!
Q7) We all agree it's important to celebrate our successes. Why do you think it is essential, both internally and externally to tell your story? Why is it important for #oklaed to celebrate its successes?
A7) In spite of the trying times in #oklaed we continue to do (way) more w less. Our children are watching and listening. It's up to each of us to champion the things we want to see more of. Kindness and positive energy are contagious!
Q7) We all agree it's important to celebrate our successes. Why do you think it is essential, both internally and externally to tell your story? Why is it important for #oklaed to celebrate its successes?
A7: Because there is so much negativity around education in Oklahoma in the news that it's important for Ts to share the goodness, the greatness, the success of what is really happening in spite of low pay, low funding, classes cut, etc #Oklaed Success stories = HOPE
A7) Stories are the lifeline of societies. Stories inspire, spark social change, help us develop empathy and understand new perspectives. Stories are POWERFUL! They keep us going; they provide connection. The world NEEDS stories. #soapbox#englishteacher#oklaed

A7) Telling our stories internally is important because it keeps the vision moving forward. W/o sharing the vision will become stagnant. Ts can learn from other Ts and Ss will realize we are all a team. #oklaed
#oklaed #7 We are the ones who can give the positive view. We have to share hope for our system, teachers, and students. We have the passion that can influence others!
A7 Because “the people” & especially their representatives do not really know what happens in our schools and the needs of #oklaed . Pls keep #okleg informed.
A7) As someone about to enter the teaching field, hearing about successes is the only way we are going to keep good Ts in #Oklaed and make students want to become teachers. Over half of my cohort will be leaving the state to teach out of state come May.
Q7) We all agree it's important to celebrate our successes. Why do you think it is essential, both internally and externally to tell your story? Why is it important for #oklaed to celebrate its successes?
A8) Rumors going around that my school district is going to close 14 more schools. Everyone is one pins and needles about how much more stress that is going to put on the remaining schools. #oklaED
Q8) In all things where improvement is the goal, it is essential for stakeholders to evaluate goals, challenges, and obstacles to success. What obstacles to success are currently present making success more difficult for you or your school? #Oklaed
I will never forget a few years ago when my son called me from school to share an accomplishment he achieved that day. It was a pleasant surprise to hear the excitement in his voice during the school day! Celebrating success motivates Ss!!! #oklaEd
Q7) We all agree it's important to celebrate our successes. Why do you think it is essential, both internally and externally to tell your story? Why is it important for #oklaed to celebrate its successes?
A7: We need to hear ALL success stories! Hard work molds success stories. When the story is told, the hard work becomes relevant. Regardless of age or position, we all like a pat on the back. We don’t teach for the credit but our teaching successes deserves the credit. #oklaed
Q7) We all agree it's important to celebrate our successes. Why do you think it is essential, both internally and externally to tell your story? Why is it important for #oklaed to celebrate its successes?
A8) Time is always our greatest barrier. This work takes tremendous energy, focus, etc. Striking that balance for everyone can get tough at times, knowing we still have a lot to do for students. $ for smaller class sizes + supports, needed. #oklaed#KidsDeserveIt
Q8) In all things where improvement is the goal, it is essential for stakeholders to evaluate goals, challenges, and obstacles to success. What obstacles to success are currently present making success more difficult for you or your school? #Oklaed
A8 - Lack if flexibility in how we do school. Our days/class schedules/ courses offered assume all kids are the same & that they need to all learn the exact same things. #oklaed
Q8) In all things where improvement is the goal, it is essential for stakeholders to evaluate goals, challenges, and obstacles to success. What obstacles to success are currently present making success more difficult for you or your school? #Oklaed
A8) Obstacle? Change is essential in education; some of us are slower changing, but we get there. Old dogs learn new tricks at a slower pace. We don’t like being the old dog, but someone has to be that dog!That’s the only obstacle I see in our district. #oklaed
Q8) In all things where improvement is the goal, it is essential for stakeholders to evaluate goals, challenges, and obstacles to success. What obstacles to success are currently present making success more difficult for you or your school? #Oklaed
A8) At #alexps, the biggest obstacle limiting our success story is the lack of core government services kids of poverty need to break the cycle. We need DHS workers, mental health services, etc. Our kids can't focus on their future because they are too busy surviving #oklaed
Q9) T shortage & T pay raises. Testing & Accountability. Class size & efficiency. Flexibility & SQ800. #oklaed funding & reform. What policy or legislative issue do you believe will have the biggest positive impact to your success story?
A7) The impact of communicating and celebrating S successes with their families is HUGE. Ss and their families need to know that we are on the same team. #oklaed
A8: Too often in education we are comparing apples and oranges. It's difficult to show growth, when the numbers are on different groups and show up a year later. We need to be showing achievement within the same groups #oklaed
A8b High stakes testing creates an obstacle...too many times Ts feel that they have to teach the test...and are afraid to be innovative in their teaching. #oklaed
Q8) In all things where improvement is the goal, it is essential for stakeholders to evaluate goals, challenges, and obstacles to success. What obstacles to success are currently present making success more difficult for you or your school? #Oklaed
A8) In my district, things have been going good for so long that it is easy to become stagnant. Moving staff from a good status quo to great/awesome is where I'm at currently. Its easy to stay where you are when things are good. Why move forward when you "don't have to". #oklaed
A8. I think in any school, “some” educators do not like change so they do not understand the whole always improving for the better. We have to change their mindset to continue to grow as a whole school #oklaed
Q8) In all things where improvement is the goal, it is essential for stakeholders to evaluate goals, challenges, and obstacles to success. What obstacles to success are currently present making success more difficult for you or your school? #Oklaed
A9) Biggest legislative issue, IMO, is the 4 day school week. How can #oklaed Ts make a profound impact if we are limiting the time Ss are exposed to quality educators. 1080 hours and 180 days is just too small in my opinion.
A9) Getting rid of third grade reading test so teachers have the opportunity help students fall in love with reading and learning... instead of the pressure of teaching reading to pass a test #oklaed#micdrop
Q9) T shortage & T pay raises. Testing & Accountability. Class size & efficiency. Flexibility & SQ800. #oklaed funding & reform. What policy or legislative issue do you believe will have the biggest positive impact to your success story?
Q9) T shortage & T pay raises. Testing & Accountability. Class size & efficiency. Flexibility & SQ800. #oklaed funding & reform. What policy or legislative issue do you believe will have the biggest positive impact to your success story?
A8) the biggest thing I see is a lack of certified teachers. We have to get T pay to a point we can get and keep qualified teachers. My student teacher could stay at her part time job and make more than teaching. What do I say? #oklaed
A8: Classroom size is the biggest issue. 25 4th graders is a struggle. We need adequate education funding so we can hire more teachers and lessen the class sizes so we can better teach, rather than manage. #Oklaed
A8: Biggest obstacle is finances. Which cause: limited funds for projects/activities, limited technology (get the cheapest instead of the most effective), larger class sizes, buildings not cleaned, limited copy paper, limited counseling staff, limited effective PD, etc. #oklaed
A8) We had 21 positions turn over from last yr to this yr in our faculty of nearly 40. This is all too common. We must address T recruitment & retention. The first yr in any building has a steep learning curve. High turnover creates an unstable learning environment. #oklaed
Q8) In all things where improvement is the goal, it is essential for stakeholders to evaluate goals, challenges, and obstacles to success. What obstacles to success are currently present making success more difficult for you or your school? #Oklaed
A8: I worry a lot about class sizes and teacher shortage resulting in students (including my own kiddos) getting short-changed. They won't get a do-over. #oklaed
Q8) In all things where improvement is the goal, it is essential for stakeholders to evaluate goals, challenges, and obstacles to success. What obstacles to success are currently present making success more difficult for you or your school? #Oklaed
We need to stop saying "funding" and start saying what #oklaed will do with that funding. We need LPC's. We need DHS workers. We need mentors. We need mental health workers. We need Ts to reduce class size. Spell it out.
I’ve made my views on the need for additional funding clear several weeks ago in an #oklaed chat. Now I’m going to do what more legislators should and listen to what teachers have to say about what else should come next.
Q9) T shortage & T pay raises. Testing & Accountability. Class size & efficiency. Flexibility & SQ800. #oklaed funding & reform. What policy or legislative issue do you believe will have the biggest positive impact to your success story?
A 7 We need the public to support public education. People need to know our success stories so that their faith in us is not misplaced. We have only scratched the surface of needed school funding to be at the regional average. It is more than teacher salaries. #oklaed
A8 I don’t have a school but I work w 57 statewide. The obstacles to success are currently lack of knowledge re: the OAS and more-rigorous OSTP, & the broader A-F formula, plus a ridiculously complex reporting system. Schools can improve,!if they can find the time. #oklaed
A9 Ultimately our success and the success of our Ss is not something that can be attributed to a single piece of legislation. Sure each of them will have some impact, but the T in the room has a greater impact than legislative measures #oklaed
I would have turned down the raise if you would have lessened my class size by hiring a new teacher. #Oklaed I just want to properly serve my students.
Being new to the state, district, school, and grade level. Lots of learning taking place, but I feel like I’m on an island. Positive perspective: this is a transition year! Next year the IEPs will be clearer, I will know paperwork processes, etc....
#OklaEd

I don't understand how Oklahomans & the #okleg can allow #oklaed children to continue to be given a discount education. We know the regional PPE average is much higher than in Oklahoma. this is unacceptable. We need to invest in our future.
A8: I worry a lot about class sizes and teacher shortage resulting in students (including my own kiddos) getting short-changed. They won't get a do-over. #oklaed

A:9 #oklaed the just one more thing we need you to do. But ten people have said it so now it's ten more things taking my time away from planning creative engaging lessons and taking away my chance to JUST TEACH! It's overwhelming sometimes. so I JUST SHUT MY DOOR AND TEACH.
A9) Funding is a huge issue & as a good T I absolutely deserve to be paid well. Full stop.
As far as S success goes, flexibility. We should not still be doing school the same way we’ve been doing it for 100 yrs! #oklaed
Q9) T shortage & T pay raises. Testing & Accountability. Class size & efficiency. Flexibility & SQ800. #oklaed funding & reform. What policy or legislative issue do you believe will have the biggest positive impact to your success story?
I would have turned down the raise if you would have lessened my class size by hiring a new teacher. #Oklaed I just want to properly serve my students.
A9) Addressing and protecting class sizes is my top priority. However, we know its directly linked to a myriad of other issues, pay gap, emergency certs., lack of funding, etc. We have a lot of work to do #OKLeg#oklaed
Q9) T shortage & T pay raises. Testing & Accountability. Class size & efficiency. Flexibility & SQ800. #oklaed funding & reform. What policy or legislative issue do you believe will have the biggest positive impact to your success story?
A10 #oklaed The voucher wolves are always out there, looking to make their move. We have to be on guard against their narrative, their bills, and their sheep outfits.
A8) I worry a lot about operational funding for schools and our state's "happiness" of using a funding model thats outdated by 10 years. We have to invest in our children and their future - period. #oklaed
A9: As a teacher, pay raises and the teacher shortage impact me the most. It is so difficult to find qualified teachers and then to be able to keep them. This year I have been SO blessed in my school and in my dept, love my colleagues! #oklaed

10) We must vote down SQ800! #oklaed is already underfunded. No way we should rob 5% of current funding and .2% annual future funding to our 3rd emergency fund. This is akin to saying I know your starving but we are going to force you to do away w/5% of your grocery bill
#Oklaed knows what we need. I’m a 4-day rural school week teacher. The funding I speak of covers all of the above. Sorry. Didn’t know there was a wrong answer!!
Great chat tonight @James409Jason and I'm glad to see so many pre-service #oklaed teachers here participating.
When you graduate, please consider Mid-Del! #MDPurpose
