Mr_Lisek Sep 19 @ 9:13 PM EDT

mrskochheiser - Moderator Sep 19 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A3: Stick to our word and do as we say. Practice what we teach! #6thchat

pjcerullo Sep 19 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A3: Be yourself! Ss can smell a faker a mile away. #6thchat

Mr_Lisek Sep 19 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A3: By allowing Ss to see us a real humans, not someone who "lives at the school." Show your personality & Ss will show theirs. #6thchat

PrincipalSmart Sep 19 @ 9:20 PM EDT

I give house points (yes, like Harry Potter) to Ss who call me out for being wrong. I've made ALOT of mistakes. #6thchat

In reply to @lorenabaker27

mrskochheiser - Moderator Sep 19 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Yes, I agree. Saying, "I don't remember..." or "I'm not sure...let's find out!" shows our eagerness for learning. #6thchat

SamReisman93 Sep 19 @ 9:24 PM EDT

In reply to @mrskochheiser, @lorenabaker27

mrskochheiser - Moderator Sep 19 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A4) When a Ss has an idea for a change in classroom, for example, give credit & have them share; rsch prjcts also help teach this. #6thchat

pjcerullo Sep 19 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A4: If Ss want to change something, I give them the power to explain it. #6thchat

SamReisman93 Sep 19 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A4: 1. Give credit to other teachers for shared ideas or activities to show them you are doing it too. #6thchat

SamReisman93 Sep 19 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4: 2. Teach about plagiarism, use Ss samples and pretend you wrote them to see how they feel when you take credit for their work #6thchat

PrincipalSmart Sep 19 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4 By pointing out things students are doing that are worth noting. #6thchat

lorenabaker27 Sep 19 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4- sometimes Ss will suggest a different activity to do instead of what was planned. Sometimes I let that happen & turns out great #6thchat

mrskochheiser - Moderator Sep 19 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Nice! I think it's great that students see us collaborating and sharing ideas to improve/enhance our classrooms #6thchat

In reply to @SamReisman93
