Hi Chatterboxes! Bazz Here from Pershing! Looking forward to hearing how everyone is planning on bettering themselves this year!
#d100chat#teampershing
I eagerly listened to them share their winter break adventures, then spoke to them about setting goals to improve their academic progress. I also included a personal goal for each. I shared my "one word" in hopes of inspiring them. #d100chat
Q1: I welcomed everyone with HUGE smiles and hugs. Ss were engaged in a winter break discussion on Powerschool and they thought of their #Onewords for 2018! #d100chat
A1: Writing was focused on #OneWord2018 - Ss selected kindness, focus, friendship, bravery, love, service & hardworking. We checked in at 11:30 and 2:30 to see our progress! #d100chat
A1: @JodiMeyer21 helped us pick our #oneword at our staff mtg. Listening to the "why" behind the words is my favorite! Also walked around to see what all the kids were up to and get reengerzied from them! #d100chat
A1: We hugged and laughed a LOT! They saw a slideshow of wedding photos. One S replied "Miss K, what happened to your face?" Oh, how I missed them. #d100chat
A1: With lots of interaction! We kept our kids moving and collaborating as we got back into routine! Huge shout out to my co-teacher @nnunziato, great collaborative planning lead to a great week of learning. #d100chat#D100pride
A1: My goal as principal is to always be visible to our staff and students! This includes saying good morning during arrival, saying see you tomorrow during dismissal, and visiting with students during lunches to hear all the wonderful things they did during break! #d100chat
A1: We started with New Year/New You/New Team. Spiced up the new year with a fresh start choosing individual @ClassDojo goals as well as team goals. #d100chat
A1: Ts reviewed classroom procedures by allowing ss to lead by example, practice in small groups, and share new ideas! Our own @hdiaz228 led our school in a fun assembly! #d100chat
Q1: Last week we talked about what a 'resolution' meant and what it meant to make a new years resolution. We used this time to talk about our goals and think about what New Years Resolutions/Goals we could set for the rest of the year. #D100chat#newyearresolutions
Writing prompt...In 2018, I will become a better reader by... using 1, 2, 3 Strategy. 1 minute to think, 2 minutes to write, 3 minutes to share! #teampershing#D100chat
Q1: To welcome back our Ss in 5LN we had them write one word resolutions to help motivate the Ss to be the best that they can be! They loved it and were able to get creative and make it their own! Ss set not just educational goals, but personal goals too! #d100chat
Love Morning Meeting. I've adopted it in middle school and we have a "Monday Meeting" in ELA at the beginning of each week. Makes such a difference for kids! #d100chat
Setting Goals For the New Year:
Be Realistic... Be Confident... Anything is PAWssible!!
Do your best to reach your full PAWtential! #tigerslearn#D100chat
#d100chat We did a rhyme “Christmas now is over, the holidays are through, tell me what was your favorite gift that someone gave to you!” Everyone shared a gift. The kids were super excited to share, I got to know a little more about them, and we made some music. Win, win, win!
A1: As a school #teampershing participated in #worldsketchnoteday & created their #oneword for the year! Ts were able to share theirs as well. As a principal, I went into classrooms to personally welcome everyone back & tell them how much I missed them! #d100chat
I started by sharing what I did and setting one personal goal as an example. I did explain and modeled my goal to help them think of their own goal. #d100chat
A1: We welcomed each other back and shared our adventures! We made goals for the rest of the year and talked about how we can work to achieve them! #d100chat
What does brene brown say about that... that vulnerability feels like courage and strength, despite it usually feeling opposite? That's great Meg! #d100chat
A1 Part 2. We watched a CNN 10 segment about young people making a difference in their community and I challenged in how they are going to make a difference #betterworld#activecitizen#d100chat
A1: My goal as principal is to always be visible to our staff and students! This includes saying good morning during arrival, saying see you tomorrow during dismissal, and visiting with students during lunches to hear all the wonderful things they did during break! #d100chat
A1: I have my students do a Flashback Friday every week and this past Friday, I had them write me a letter as their new 2018 self. They got to get a fresh start and we had great convos! #d100chat
Those are great, Gorz! This year I want to be more intentional reflecting on the #onewords as we continue to summer break, great next step for us! #d100chat
A2: My #oneword for 2018 is balance. Working on finding a balance between teaching, graduate school, committees and other professional goals. I hope this focus will allow me to give my best in each area and not feel spread too thin. #d100chat
A2: Oh geez, I need more charc. Finish my degree, deepen my curriculum knowledge, & work w/ purpose, timliness, & clarity. I am often bouncing frm task 2 task, but I want to slow down & do each well. I also REALLY want to learn some new teaching stratg. w/ Ts - anyone?#D100chat
A2: My professional goal is to be more efficient, direct and timely with my #feedback! Ss need more from me as a teacher to not only reaffirm success but reteach in times of struggle! #d100chat
A3: My #oneword is REFLECT! My goal is reflect on my professional practice as well as my personal life in order to be efficient with my time, seize the day, and take advantage of every opportunity that crosses my path!! #d100chat
A2 Last year my word was #DO, but I want to move from task-oriented to relationship-oriented. So I choose #BE. I think this will make me focus on BEing a better educator, leader, person. #d100chat
My profesional goal for this year is to research ELL's and the under/over identification into Special Education. I want to learn as much as possible to help my students out. Not to forget finishing my 2nd Masters! #d100chat
Q2: I had many goals for 2018, but my #1 is being more worthy of myself, my Ss, and the people around me. I want to remember my self worth & be the best that I can be. I want to show my Ss that EVERYONE is worthy of learning and worthy of greatness! #d100chat
A2: My #oneword2018 / goal is to #Connect. It is so important to connect with students, colleagues, and friends to have a well rounded IMPACT in each others lives. #d100chat
A2: my #oneword2018 is advantageous. I would like to help create an environment where our students have more favorable circumstances that increase their chances of being successful in school. #d100chat#irvingpride
A2: My goals all stem from my #Oneword - Courage. Not because I am fearless, but because I will face my fears. Fears of failure or incompentency by trudging forward! #d100chat
#breathe is my personal/professional goal for 2018. I am trying to remember to take a breath and think about the situation and the best way to approach it.
#d100chat#hiawathapride
A2: Professional goals: Steadfast in all the work I set off to do. Choose less things and do them with greater focus. Steadfast is my #OneWord for 2018! #d100chat
A2: Teacher goals- be an advocate for those who might not otherwise have anyone on their side, or just anyone to say they are proud of them. Professionally, finding ways to be the best version of myself- and up the passion! #d100chat
A2: Contribute more to the district as a whole! My one word for 2018 is teamwork, I want to continue to work with @StachuraMarty to continue to make Irving AWESOME! #irvingpride#d100chat
A2: Excited to say that as of Dec 15th, I am a National Board Certified Teacher! I want to continue to share what I have learned in my 37 yrs of teaching #d100chat
My #oneword for 2018 is CONFIDENCE! I want to become more confident in my teaching by sharing my failure and success stories from my classroom. I hope to inspire my students to be more confident in their learning.
#d100chat#teampershing
We do “afternoon meeting” right after recess because it works best w/ the schedule. One of my favorite 20 minutes of the day! Many times we just chat and hang out. Ss need that in a long day. #d100chat
A2: My #oneword is #balance. It's important to grow as much as I can as an educator, but also be realistic with my expectations for myself! Trying not to put too much pressure on myself to be the "perfect" teacher #vulnerability#d100chat
A2 #d100chat Increase my PLN with Structured Word Inquiry starting with presenting at the Annual ESSA Conference in Chicago 2/12-2/14 "Focus on the Learner"

A2: for myself, my #oneword2018 is realize. I'm working this year to focus on following through and seeing things through and understanding why I'm doing something professionally or personally. #d100chat
A2: By being attentive I hope to build a stronger culture of respect & an environment where everyone is comfortable sharing their POV. #D100chat#bettertogether
A2: I need to up my knowledge of argument writing. Definitely the weakest in that genre, writing it myself, and teaching it. There's a more specific goal... #d100chat
A1 I think this got lost so if I am tweeting again ignore this one:) To welcome back students I did an engineering challenge with each grade level, to illustrate we all reach goals in our own unique way. #d100chat
A2: My goals all stem from my #Oneword - Courage. Not because I am fearless, but because I will face my fears. Fears of failure or incompentency by trudging forward! #d100chat
A2. To grow by reflecting on the first half of the year as well as continue to learn as much as possible to be better for the staff and students. #d100chat
Hi everyone! I am learning a lot about how to navigate my first #d100chat
Q2: @MsVanWyk5th I share a similar goal with you! I am excited about pursuing my education but I have to remember to make time for myself! #selfcare
A3: My personal goals are fitness and relationship focused. Working on a healthier and happier me will translate to a positive environment for my students. #d100chat
A3: Personal goals go back to my oneword - love: put love into everything I do, and find a way to love the things I don't always want to do. That, and way more service! 2017 was a very "me" year, so I want to change that and get back to doing things for others! #d100chat
A3 #d100chat Work-life balance is always my focus. Time for family, fun and friends. For me, however without health you can't have a balance at all. My focus in 2018 is move a little each and every day! Join me!
A3: I want to continue traveling the country and our world! I think that these moments I take to myself have helped me find balance and realize what I need and want in my life. I want to continue being healthy and running as many 5Ks and perhaps a10K soon! #d100chat
A3: This year has started off with lots of "adulting". I am now a first time homeowner and will be completing my principal preparation program in April 2018. Hoping that the excitement and energy from both these big events adds to my passion for education! #d100chat
Making healthy food choices and moving as much as possible (especially this Winter, when all I really want to do it sit on my couch at night) !!
#d100chat#hiawathapride
A3 To PAUSE and make sure to take time to relax and enjoy time with my family. I also want to make working out a priority again, not an after thought. #D100chat
A3: personal goal w/ my #OneWord2018 : to be a consistent teacher, mentor, wife, daughter, leader, supporter, friend, cheerleader, reader, but most of all - consistent follower with my #1 main dude, Jesus #d100chat
A3 Personally, I would like to nurture creativity and be outside to enjoy nature. Getting out and about not only Illinois, but new places too #d100chat
A3: Personally, I want to continue working on getting my weight down. I am at a standstill & need to jumpstart the process again. I've been slacking! I also really need to "turn-off" more when I get home, work wise & socially! I am mad at myself for this being so tough! #d100chat
Q3: My personal goals are to pay attention more to my personal needs and health. I need to rest more when needed and spend more time with my family and friends no matter how busy my professional life can get. #ME#wellness#happy#d100chat
Reading professional books is always a goal! So thankful for all the recommendations from @BerwynSouth100 staff! My list keeps getting longer and longer! #d100pride#d100chat
A2: Professional goals include working harder on creating a #visiblelearning culture at Pershing. This includes being more deliberate & intentional with PD and feedback in that area; I also would like to try & read at least 8 professional books this year. #teampershing#d100chat
A3: along with #balance...taking care of myself! Time, relaxations, health, wellness, etc. If I don't take care of myself, I can't be there for my learners! #d100chat
A2: I want to have better conversations with my Ss on their personal books and continue sharing the love for reading in class as much as possible #d100chat
I haven't decided it this is a professional or a personal goal, but I want to read all of the middle grade Nerdies this year. I'll count it as a bit of both. #d100chat
A3: I use reading as a way to relax and unwind, so I'd like to keep it up this year! I finished 128 books in 2017, so I'm hoping to make it past 100 again in 2018! #D100chat

A2: I definitely want to go back to blogging. I love love love writing! Teaching writing was my favorite and I miss it. So much voice and individuality can come through in a writing piece #writingisapassion#d100chat
A3: Personally I have to work on my school/work life balance. With two kids now I have to start putting some of their needs first. #easiersaidthandone but I know they only stay little for so long! #d100chat#familytimeisthebest
