Just capture the images of learning that you see and try to put the small things into words.
A4: work with our co-teaching pairs and assist in strengthening services for all of our students
Literacy coaches are fantastic mentors and resource!
your tribe will support you I know how you feel
A5: stuff I can't justify beyond, "I've always done this". 😃
I'm dumping traditional seating & boring materials.
A5 Fear... https://t.co/VaablI9nJq
Q5: Reflecting on your practices, what is something you are dumping for next year? Why?
A5: I will do my best to dump faculty meetings that are devoid of meaningful PD.
A5: I'm dumping whatever I see does not move my Ss and Ts forward. If we do it just to do it, it's gone.
A4.1: I want to continue to be able to present and assist with development of character education
A5: Paper spelling word lists...why not?! Send containing them instead. Then copy/edit w tech to practice is option.
A5 Making sure all meetings have a clear and compelling purpose. No unnecessary meetings.
A5 I seriously need to think more about this. One is changing eligibility to help Ss & Ts in pos way. Dif but not removing.
A5: Overly complicated art activities for my clinical experiences
A5: I'm staling this one. Well said! https://t.co/pEKNPHZ1S0
A5: I'm dumping whatever I see does not move my Ss and Ts forward. If we do it just to do it, it's gone.
I should dump my multitasking at staff meetings/pd. Need to have things that engage me
Almost all of our "staff meetings" were PD driven this year. Some loved it, some didn't.
A5: Replacing traditional seating with alternate seating such as Hokki Stools. I want to give Ss more options.
A5. Dumping having prof. learning taking place w/out learning from Ts if it was effective/next steps=continue learning
Haven't tried yet, but so excited to try it out!
A5 Dumping the idea that Ss can't help each other revise their work. I need all hands on deck!
A5 No going through the motions. Do stuff that matters and do it with passion.
A5: I had a few options this year but am starting the school year all in with alternate seating. Very excited!
A5: Like others, I am dumping traditional seating.
Sometimes a "stop doing" list is as important as a "to do" list.
A5: in general, I need to view others strengths more and allow them to continue to work on those skill sets
I took the legs off a table. Custodians think I'm crazy,
A5: I'm dumping excuses. Moving forward with what we know is good for kids "The future started yesterday and we're already late"
is great! Try it out!!! User friendly!
A5) I am going to dump not taking a moment or two for myself/family. Can't tell Ts to take care of themselves & not model it.
haha that's a great option though for your Ss!
Not sweating the small stuff starting an EdD need to prioritize time
sure did. They got ahead of it. T's had devices, PD 6 months to a year before S's.
Seating is hard for us bc year round so move rooms almost every quarter. No room to store own furniture. https://t.co/makw197gcV

A5 Making sure all meetings have a clear and compelling purpose. No unnecessary meetings.
also have a table of stools, one for standing and then thinking deck chairs.
yes! Motivational for Ss & you can use to flip lessons.😊
A5: pre-differentiation on assignments. This may be hard but how can I convince you you can do it if I never give you the chance?
I found scoop rockers this summer and I think they will be a good fit for reading and writing workshop.
Thanks and for the invite tonight.
Appreciate the time hanging out with my friends and .
SO important! Lead by example right!? https://t.co/BgXjzAdaTL
A5) I am going to dump not taking a moment or two for myself/family. Can't tell Ts to take care of themselves & not model it.
Of course, I get to decide if there is a clear, compelling purpose. :) https://t.co/4daHtPQCfc

I wouldn't say it's impossible, but new, I want to start makerspace in my classroom. I will do research and buy tons of supplies.
A6) everyone to achieve their academic/social/emotional goals. Through data analysis, collaboration, & flexibility
A6 Everyone says making individual video comments on Ss papers before final drafts is impossible. I will- by pure determination.
We're an IB school-all Ss can be full diploma; not just the "smart" ones. Those that don't know they can . . . can!
Powerful movement for all your teachers!
