Listening to understand is a huge part of building relationships. It's so hard to be present and not planning your response. #OrEdChat

In reply to @tishrich

theedpodcast May 7 @ 11:48 PM EDT

A3: Leave ego and agenda at the door. Give the other a chance to talk openly about what is important to them; don't be offended. #oredchat

KatieJMcNamara May 7 @ 11:49 PM EDT

A3 Tough ? Need to work on relationship w someone that doesn't value my position. I was hoping they would change schools. #OrEdChat

ManionJulie - Moderator May 7 @ 11:49 PM EDT

A3. I have one youngster this year who will not engage unless they are the center of attention. It's been a frustrating problem #oredchat

MrsLedford6Eng May 7 @ 11:49 PM EDT

A3: Start with a compliment... Kindness always prevails! #OrEdChat

SteinbrinkLaura May 7 @ 11:52 PM EDT

A4: Funny how I ask Qs that can transform in lessons but not in relationships. I'm informed, but need to work on this. #OrEdChat

tishrich May 7 @ 11:53 PM EDT

A4: Something I need to spend time reflecting on to improve the questions I ask. #oredchat

jkjohnsonbell May 7 @ 11:53 PM EDT

A4: I try to ask questions that help Ts reflect - not just push my ideas. "What did you notice about how your students responded?" #OrEdChat

techoutmyclass May 7 @ 11:53 PM EDT

A4: Sometimes asking the right Qs are harder than the saying right answer! #oredchat

hmarrs24 - Moderator May 7 @ 11:54 PM EDT

I feel the same way! I'm not sure why it doesn't transfer into our personal lives Like when we talk to our families like our Ss :) #OrEdChat

jkjohnsonbell May 7 @ 11:54 PM EDT

It's an investment, but can feel like "wasting" time. Building relationships and trust is always worth it. #OrEdChat

In reply to @techoutmyclass

theedpodcast May 7 @ 11:55 PM EDT

A4: scariest thing is to ask Q's that lead to unknown places. Gives a lot of power to S or T answering Q. (Also rewarding!) #oredchat
