Had a great weekend away with my hubby. Gearing up for the last 5 weeks of school and SBAC testing!
Good Morning . How are we today?

My teaching style is like Miss Honey from Matilda because despite the age of my students, I believe each of them has special powers

Happy Monday Starr from NY

Good morning . Good to be back at this hashtag.
Brian from Massachusetts
This is a hard Q! I think my teaching style breaks the mold a bit...that's according to my Ss anyway, :)
thank you. I once had a coach call me miss honey in my early career and I was really flattered
I was getting nervous, I have plans for a tattoo. Just kidding.
We had beautiful weather in Wisconsin this past weekend. It provided energy for all to finish year strong.
Good morning . Stacey from NJ. Excited to be back at our original hashtag!
I can't quite commit to one character...
This makes me super happy. You just made my Monday:)
That song..Welcome to our house.keeps playing in my head.I heard it at every one of my daughters lax games. https://t.co/Xmx5GAueix
I love that we are taking back our home.
Let me say Happy Monday! again only using the correct hashtag.
People tell me my teaching style is like that of Olaf from Frozen - always looking on the bright side. https://t.co/jPtrT0ZRAa
Good morning! Cloudy here in Western MA, Kath checking in. Happy I found the chat again!
Love it. Ralph is all of those things https://t.co/dbQ7TjCelF
Teaching style = Ralph from the muppets. I'm calm and balanced in approach while respecting all classroom community members
Except after last night's game, it might be Durant or Westbrook who are trending
Great to be back at our natural home! 👍😄🌅🎉🎉🎉
We are back home at our original hashtag.
Good morning
Back where we belong.
Brian from Mass.
My teaching style is like because you never really know what style you will get!
Though question...I'd say serious fun. 😄😬😕
we are back home at our original
Also
She has special powers, too
I channel Stella, Fairy of the Forest - I'm always seeking an adventure, bit of a dreamer, happiest w a partner
I think a combo of Robin Williams, Mr. Kotter
Yes! We must have a chat topic about the tattoos we would get/have gotten. I have a retirement tattoo picked out!
Morning Everyone h- hope you had a great weekend!
Love the West Wing reference on ur home page. What a great show! Bartlettforamerica
Captain Kirk..to boldly go where no teacher has gone before! HA!
Interesting question this morning.
If only were actually running for president.
Good morning Nice to be back!
I agree for me, too. I'm constantly refining thanks to my PLN.
You're too sweet, Ellen! Miss you!
yes it's a hard Q, I can't think of a character right now either. I'm caring but at the same time firm
Yes, today's question. fictional character or adjective?
My teaching style = Mrs. Weasley because I do my best to give my kids what that need, but it looks a bit chaotic from the outside
My teaching is like ... Mr. Kotter ... was one of "those" kids who now happens to be on of "those" teachers. https://t.co/26jZ5th7kr
Anybody else got a certain song now going through their head! Let it go! Let it go! 😰
Excellent!!! This is good :)
Gm ! Josh lead learner from NJ. Glad to be home again!
My mind is blank..Cannot think at all!
See some examples at Happy Monday Paul!
(oh, and I've got some crazy curls)
Yes, I like that too! https://t.co/a8ef8PPcpY
Love the West Wing reference on ur home page. What a great show! Bartlettforamerica
When I started teaching, I didn't build a persona right away. I imitated https://t.co/Hd40fRErHG until I knew what I was doing.
Tough to associate my teaching style with a character. I'll go with Lupin from HP bc he's unpredictable but truly cares about his Ss
a bit "manic" , love to get students involved, a bit loud, corny,but have built great relationships with Ss https://t.co/TT5mCHRk5v
So I get accused of being this guy (although I think it's because I used to wear round glasses). https://t.co/z4yVtMTWov
Not sure there are a lot of positive HS examples out there. Still...I am my own person.
excellent, you !! ( and Thor pitched & was awesome 11) https://t.co/bVeXy4E4PK
Good Morning Eric - How was the weekend?
By the end of my time in the classroom I felt a little bit like Jimmy Fallon on Late night. Content was the guest and we had fun.
My all-time favorite show! You know you can follow all the characters on Twitter! Josh, CJ, Sam, Donna, Jed.. https://t.co/86nDeKenim
Love the West Wing reference on ur home page. What a great show! Bartlettforamerica
Yes, I, too, was a teacher's nightmare myself for grades 3-8. Which grades have I spent most of my career??
Good Monday morning to you ! Glad I found you & good to be home :)
Good morning Karl. Did you see that we are back on ?
It is a hard question... Sometimes I think I'm not firm enough... mother in me comes out often https://t.co/tRahd0Bv48
yes it's a hard Q, I can't think of a character right now either. I'm caring but at the same time firm
Never thought about it! A cross between Robin Williams in Dead Poet's Society, Dumbledore-Harry Potter & Capt.Furrilo-Hill St Blues
Yes. Create a play-list for today's - "steve curry"
Mornin'! How are you today?
Nice! https://t.co/wFsiu9pE0B
My teaching style = Mrs. Weasley because I do my best to give my kids what that need, but it looks a bit chaotic from the outside
I'd vote for Bartlett any day ! https://t.co/hyhBChIj0Y

After some thought I am picking Donkey from Schreck. A little sarcastic, but caring and a good heart
We are like the Power Rangers. With our powers combined we help Ts to improve Ss achievement. We bring unique backgrounds to work
I'd say a real amalgamation of Ts, real & fic. Mr Donohue, my HS German T. "Mr.Feeney", "Mr.Holland". My 1st mentor, Dr.Ortiz.
Really? I am gong to check that out. We r in love now with Madam Secretary. Very similar.
I'm not quite w/it this morning! Sitting on my deck w/ a cup of Joe trying to wake up :-)
Too much yard work yesterday!
MacGyver is a good one. Dealing with the resources you have, not the ones you wish you had.
. btw, last night was a full moon so I'm still feeling a little groggy this morning
Maybe that's why I feel so out of it this morning?????
Great to see you Tracy. Welcome home. https://t.co/FGy6VoDxkY
Good Monday morning to you ! Glad I found you & good to be home :)
good - had a great weekend at Capital Region, so an extra day to process would be fab And you?
Funny you should say that... I'm a combo of Robin Williams and a character who is really empathetic. Any suggestions
Not sure who or what my teaching style would exemplify but do know that I try to be for students, healthy and always improving.
My teaching style is like Dumbledore - allowing students to find their own paths but with guidance
Some of those I don't know.
Right back at you. Seriously, I saved it. Taking it to ISTE:) Hugs to you guys for these last few weeks.
I think I'm a decent balance of fun/playful and whatever else my kids need (organization, limits, hugs, understanding, cheerleader)
Have a great day everyone!! Thanks for the fun!
Morning everyone!! I would say Wonder Woman who can make people laugh.
Good morning !!!! In terms of a character I channel with my pedagogy, it's Aslan from Chronicles of Narnia. Ss as active learners!
Yes I love Madam Secretary as well. https://t.co/eGjQoW5bsl
Really? I am gong to check that out. We r in love now with Madam Secretary. Very similar.
My go to inspiration every time.
Have a great day everyone!
Got to be Nanny McPhee- scary to begin with, but lots of fun when you get used to me!
I'm having the same trouble... My brain is slow this morning!
sounds like a similar weekend. Lots of learning and connecting at and *some* relaxation.
It's so freaking cool when your former 7th grade students start graduating from college! 🍾🎓🎉
Ditto. Well said. https://t.co/IuiiUwzL3P
I think I'm a decent balance of fun/playful and whatever else my kids need (organization, limits, hugs, understanding, cheerleader)
I like to think my teaching style is somewhat like Miss Frizzle; that's what I strive for anyway.
yes, saw some tweets. Long weekend at end of this week maybe?
What a great start to Monday! Only 19 days left for us. Gotta go make them count!
Have a great day everyone!
Time to head out. Only one more Monday of school left after today...hard to believe!
Happy Monday everyone. I'm not remotely ready. Keep the coffee coming!
Thank you all for thinking about our Q today . We hoped we started your day on a creative & fun note; have a great week!
OK... I'm going with RObin WIlliams from Dead Poets and Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica (intense)
Will be nice!! Looking forward to it!!
and a great car for the commute
Miss Nelson, perhaps? (Before her temporary transformation)
As long as I have enough banana peels!
I don't feel like I contributed at all today but I did enjoy listening to all your responses! Happy to my pals!!
Haha! Good one. I'm borrowing answers on this one today😂
Love it! And same way, except for Mr Rogers. Got to think of a Mrs (NOT Robinson!!!) and then I will steal https://t.co/2SjLA7WXLT
My style comprises The Four M's...Mr. Rogers/Mythbusters/MacGyver/Magnum P.I.
Tough question. I guess I try to be whoever Ss need me to be at the moment.
Same here Connie. https://t.co/OUtlAE91Ri
I don't feel like I contributed at all today but I did enjoy listening to all your responses! Happy to my pals!!
I'm going with Robin Williams from Dead Poets and Starbucks from BAttlestar Galactica-funny and caring but intense w/ high standards
That's perfect! https://t.co/Izcr6t7cFm
Tough question. I guess I try to be whoever Ss need me to be at the moment.
I'm off - continue to w colleagues and students! Thx again to for her efforts
I hope to be like Prof McGonagall from Harry Potter, high standards, but fun when it really matters! https://t.co/4ScKkOuAqt
Forgot about Renaissance Man Loved his sense of humor, crazy teaching ideas and desire to help kids https://t.co/lwhaMqat26
good luck with the SBAC! We ditched it after last year.
I'd love to see the question - Favorite Teacher Movie - as a future topic.
Think I'm going to be playing "Welcome Back" as the Ss come in today. Thanks for the idea. Have a great day all!
Or favorite TV episode with a teacher.
I always liked this song better. Ahhh....summer!
I'm more like Robin Williams in Dead Poets
I feel like Miss Honey too sometimes...not for style, but for what she was up against at her school! https://t.co/IIwRPX9Cf2
My teaching style is like Miss Honey from Matilda because despite the age of my students, I believe each of them has special powers
Style? Was I suppose to have style? No one said anything about style. Is there an EdCamp on style?
Style: https://t.co/2X6UM1mrUh
Victoria Day holiday here today! Sorry I missed the 'party' as part of !
Good morning from a rainy my friends. I think we've officially hit the rainy season!
good morning. Nice to see you!
Good morning CST! So great having back home from and
Good morning Steven! Good to see you too. Hope all is well.
Good morning CST chatters. Steve from (and back in) NJ. Listening to the birds while sipping coffee on the porch
good to be back :) great trip, but home is home!
I'm going to say Data from Goonies. Creative, always trying something new, might not always work.
My teaching style is most like hmmmm might need more coffee for this one
Its a tough one for sure.
My teaching style is like Mary Poppins. "In everything that's done, there is an element of fun!" ☂ https://t.co/xV7Db4qF3G
My teaching style is most like Professor Lupin, hands-on, prankster at heart, needs alone time to "be myself"
I have to add some from my 5:30 list Robin Williams, Mr.Kotter but also Dr Who for history studies & Ms.G. from Freedom Writers
I also think I'm like Dory. Having a positive mindset and I encouraging students to "just keep swimming!" https://t.co/2aT1fGqKQo
I strive for learner centered and often encourage my teachers to reflect on their activities https://t.co/P5Jrgb9Ryi
Of course I've been told I am like the mom from Blindside. I'm hoping that means devoted and caring, not overbearing
I am moving away from teacher as "presenter of information"...give Ss 'tools' to access info...S-centred for me.
Good thing. Ss need tools, information literacy instruction, and right task.
I'm suggesting teachers can be facilitators of S learning...S-focused & S-driven, as long as Ts know curriculum.
Absolutely. Then they can move on to conducting learning experiences.
Happy Monday, . I'm Brian in CO, dabbling w/diff't schedule.
My teaching style is like Dorothy because it's about finding the brains, heart, courage in everyone https://t.co/YXXYl6vz6a
My teaching style's most like Shawshank's Red: both understated coach/mentor & ready to learn from others.
