  • TomMartellone Jan 10 @ 9:29 PM EST
    A3: I think with any change, not providing a "why", not reaching out to those that need additional time to process, having it happen unexpectedly, lack of support. Also, people not being open to change. Not sure if those are dangers but definitely make it challenging. #ohedchat

  • amyjojo14 Jan 10 @ 9:48 PM EST
    A5: students are the top priority - that’s the bottom line. If that means connecting with them by using tools they understand (like using Snapchat), then that is what we have to do. Connect THEIR learning to THEIR world #ohedchat
  • MattAnderson289 Jan 10 @ 9:48 PM EST
    #ohedchat A5: hold firm with your non-negotiables (building positive relationships, supporting sound instructional practices, etc) and during times of conflict, others will know your perspective and how it will all fit in
  • TebnerEbner Jan 10 @ 9:48 PM EST
    I agree--it's another balance--passion and investment, but not taking others' responses and holding them TOO close. (Yet reflecting & learning from them is good, too.) #ohedchat
