In reply to @NoVAEdChat

ProfeTravis Apr 26 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A1 celebrating Ss success is so ingrained in our routines, funny that it doesn't always work the same way for our fellow Ts #novaedchat

coreythornblad Apr 26 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Joining late- sorry! But happy to be here. I guess: better late than never. #NoVAedchat

abctec Apr 26 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2: maybe others will resent one person being celebrated and feel overlooked #NoVAedchat

AnnHillsBennett Apr 26 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2: When people don't receive compliments on a regular basis, they are sometimes suspicious of them 😭👎🏼 No ulterior motives! #NoVaedChat

techinteaching - Moderator Apr 26 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2 Some people might be shy about their accomplishments or slightly introverted about the work they are doing. #NoVAedChat

Techy_Margaret Apr 26 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2 So often ppl see appreciation/award as something you take from others. recognize all contributions w/o stepping on others #Novaedchat

JTillman1999 Apr 26 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2 Ensuring that your positive words are authentic, sincere & not given for something that is seen as menial or expected. #novaedchat

Techy_Margaret Apr 26 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Glad you made it! #NoVAedchat

In reply to @coreythornblad

MrDeSando Apr 26 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2 you're always going to have the person who feels that their accomplishments aren't celebrated enough. #novaedchat

Ted_Cooper54 Apr 26 @ 8:17 PM EDT

So true. You always have to check how people like to be recognized. In front of peers? Or individual. #NoVAedchat

In reply to @techinteaching

coreythornblad Apr 26 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: it's easy to mistake the work of many for the work of one. Celebrate one and you might be overlooking a whole team #NoVAedchat

scigates Apr 26 @ 8:17 PM EDT

It was a good thing and I think it had a positive impact. Not sure how we could revive something similar #NoVAedchat

In reply to @techinteaching, @CHS_writer

KratzMegan Apr 26 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2 Some Ts and Ss may feel uncomfortable with public recognition-a note may be a better fit #NoVAedChat

love this! Feeling the love! #NoVAedChat

In reply to @Techy_Margaret

BrianHerb17 Apr 26 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: There's a balance between genuinely celebrating real accomplishments vs celebrating everyone so no one feels left out #NoVAedchat

CHS_writer Apr 26 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2 Jealousy, perhaps? For me, "I wish I had thought of that" means seek out that person and learn all I can! #novaedchat

Ted_Cooper54 Apr 26 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2 Its so important to be genuine in your praise. One ingenuity complement can take 100s of genuine ones to rebuild trust. #NoVAedchat

coreythornblad Apr 26 @ 8:19 PM EDT

so true! each person has their own appreciation style like a learning style. #NoVAedchat

In reply to @Ted_Cooper54, @techinteaching

StudentsHistory Apr 26 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2 Make sure there's no "us" and "them" where the celebrations all seem to go to a certain group . #NoVAedchat

ProfeTravis Apr 26 @ 8:19 PM EDT

YES! But positivity breeds positivity! #Novaedchat

MrDeSando Apr 26 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2 you're always going to have the person who feels that their accomplishments aren't celebrated enough. #novaedchat

A2 - I think people can tend to resent not being recognized themselves when others are. #NoVAedChat

Q3 What are some effective ways of positively celebrating other people and their work? #NoVAedchat

BrianHerb17 Apr 26 @ 8:25 PM EDT

Recently signed our kids up for swim team and there's a checkbox "Would you like your child to receive a trophy?" Sigh... #NoVAedchat

In reply to @ecsetser

abctec Apr 26 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@scigates this is struggle is... do you celebrate a few and worry about that or do you celebrate all and it becomes meaningless. #novaedchat

scigates Apr 26 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2 Ts could be intimidated (or hurt) by hearing celebration for others. #NoVAedChat

Ted_Cooper54 Apr 26 @ 8:25 PM EDT

Or celebrate a few...often... which turns into celebrating all :) #NoVAedchat

In reply to @abctec, @scigates

kelleyjbrown1 Apr 26 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A2 hi I'm new! 👋 I've had colleagues ask to skip celebrations to "get to the real work" - makes it a bit awkward to 🎉 #NoVAedchat

scigates Apr 26 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Yes, the celebration has to be genuine. Not everyone gets a trophy 🏆 It would motivate me to learn more #NoVAedchat

In reply to @abctec

Techy_Margaret Apr 26 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Are we touching on the participation trophy theory? 🏆#NoVAedchat

Techy_Margaret Apr 26 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3 I think it is important that the opportunity is for colleagues to recognize and celebrate each other #novaedchat

techinteaching - Moderator Apr 26 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3 Being authentic about it. It can come up naturally in conversation or when people are looking for suggestions. #NoVAedChat

BrianHerb17 Apr 26 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3: Doesn't need to be public or formal. A sincere comment or thank you can be much more powerful. #NoVAedchat

Ted_Cooper54 Apr 26 @ 8:27 PM EDT

Wow! Very interesting point! We need to change their mindset that celebrating IS the work. #NoVAedchat

In reply to @kelleyjbrown1

AnnHillsBennett Apr 26 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3: Making a point of building shoutouts into your weekly meetings/wrap ups. These can even be digital through a Google Form! #NoVAedchat

StudentsHistory Apr 26 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3 Make it a habit in: weekly staff newsletter or email, dept meetings, faculty meetings, school tv show, morning announcements #NoVAedchat

scholarcation Apr 26 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3 - There's gotta be a bitmoji for this right? #NoVAedChat

ProfeTravis Apr 26 @ 8:27 PM EDT

#NoVAedchat the hope would be that celebrating good stuff and collaborating as a routine creates opportunity for real celebration later

In reply to @abctec, @scigates

Techy_Margaret Apr 26 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A3 Depending on your school culture... it helps to have it public! Up on a board someplace, tag notes and put on door frame, etc #novaedchat

scigates Apr 26 @ 8:29 PM EDT

It does feel good when someone acknowledges a "win". I should do it more because it really does make a difference to peers #NoVAedchat

In reply to @Ted_Cooper54, @abctec

A3 - I also love shouting out past positive experiences with colleagues when brainstorming over new projects. #novaedchat

In reply to @kelleyjbrown1

StudentsHistory Apr 26 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3 My favorite way to celebrate others is at the 5pm Friday "department meeting" 😁🍻#NoVAedchat

ProfeTravis Apr 26 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3: create an open door environment, invite others in to see! If we can see good stuff as a routine, we can celebrate 🎉 too! #novaedchat

Ted_Cooper54 Apr 26 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3 celebrating people allows people to know that they can take risks. And risk taking is where the magic happens! #NoVAedchat

Techy_Margaret Apr 26 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3 I think we often overlook the power of a written note - in a mailbox or on a desk or in an email can really mean a lot! #Novaedchat

techinteaching - Moderator Apr 26 @ 8:30 PM EDT

...and to kids! #NoVaedchat

In reply to @scigates, @Ted_Cooper54, @abctec

KratzMegan Apr 26 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3 Immediate feedback is always appreciated by me -as soon after much work has been done is most effective #NoVAedchat

A3 #novaedchat Random acts of kindness or recognition. Doing something & asking others not to repay, but to pay it forward.

SURE! If they break a record or actually win something. But don't celebrate for meeting basic expectations 🏊🏻 #novaedchat

A3 "Positive" is the key word! Sometimes I see "celebrations" that are just meant to exclude and hurt. I don't get it. #novaedchat

A4 Weekly kudos email - submit to one person, a list of shout outs goes out to whole staff every Wed. Publicly at staff mtgs too #NoVAedchat

MrGreeneEdu Apr 26 @ 8:37 PM EDT

Hello! #NoVAedchat

AnnHillsBennett Apr 26 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A4: Sometimes using a digital shoutout. Mostly it is more quiet amongst team members and in the moment. #Novaedchat

coreythornblad Apr 26 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A4: We do a lot right at our school but I wish we did more. Celebrating the good all too often gets lost in the daily grind. #NoVAedchat

Techy_Margaret Apr 26 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A4 Something else we did was like a "You've Been Boo'd" to share how much we've been appreciate everyone we work with. #NoVAedchat

AnnHillsBennett Apr 26 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A4: I like the idea of a msg board (digital or otherwise) where people could be quietly but publicly recognized. #Novaedchat

Ted_Cooper54 Apr 26 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A4 we have a staff "Kudos" that is a google form that teachers submit the great things they see around the building #NoVAedchat

ProfeTravis Apr 26 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A4: I wish we made time to get into classrooms in our department for real dialogue, collaboration and CELEBRATION! #novaedchat

BrianHerb17 Apr 26 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A4 My department puts out a weekly email & we're asked to submit celebrations of others. Was nice at 1st, now less authentic #NoVAedchat

A4 #novaedchat Need more genuine appreciation for those who do extra.

NoVAEdChat Apr 26 @ 8:45 PM EDT

Q5 How does your school or community celebrate the accomplishments of students? How is it received? What do you wish they did? #NoVAedchat

BrianHerb17 Apr 26 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A4 With another T, I sent anonymous/mysterious awards to Ts Fun, but some people were suspiscious/confused #NoVAedchat

KratzMegan Apr 26 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A4 we use staff mtg shout outs and I love that we have Ts that make sure as many other Ts are mentioned as possible #NoVAedChat

coreythornblad Apr 26 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A4: I like the idea of making celebration of colleagues visible to students. Ss need to see us modeling genuine recognition. #NoVAedchat

coreythornblad Apr 26 @ 8:46 PM EDT

ha! That's fun! at KMS? #NoVAedchat

Techy_Margaret Apr 26 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A5 My favorite is "on a roll" awards - celebrate when students are moving in a positive direction! #Novaedchat

techinteaching - Moderator Apr 26 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A5. I wish we did more to celebrate growth and risk-taking in learning...rather that celebrating grades. #noGrades #NoVAedChat

coreythornblad Apr 26 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A5: My daughter's school has bracelets with character traits that Ts give when they see kids exhibiting the trait of the month. #NoVAedchat

coreythornblad Apr 26 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Preach. #NoVAedchat

ProfeTravis Apr 26 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A5: we have an award that any T can nominate any Ss for. Great chance for those who usually don't get the glory to shine #novaedchat

techinteaching - Moderator Apr 26 @ 8:47 PM EDT

I love this idea. I used to do it at holidays for teachers with a "pass it around" sort of thing. #novaedchat

Yes, it put a smile on my face and I couldn't wait to pass it along. 🌷#NoVAedchat

Ted_Cooper54 Apr 26 @ 8:48 PM EDT

So fun! Do they get them made?! Do you have a picture? I love this idea. #NoVAedchat

ecsetser Apr 26 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A5 #novaedchat Sad, but true- school had to stop "Terrific Kids" b/c parents were jealous of others' bumper stickers!

BrianHerb17 Apr 26 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A5 Used to give each S an award at the end of the year, but they were unique & silly - made us think what made each S special #NoVAedchat

abctec Apr 26 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@JTillman1999 is that Gina ONeal... in your profile pic? #novaedchat I was her mentor her first two years teaching.

scholarcation Apr 26 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A5 - would love to see more photos in the halls of Ss accomplishments (not just athletics). HS needs to do this better! #novAedchat

Ted_Cooper54 Apr 26 @ 8:49 PM EDT

Our Ts are great about celebrating Ss during writing celebrations. When I get invited, its my fav thing on my calendar all week #NoVAedchat

BrianHerb17 Apr 26 @ 8:49 PM EDT

Yes. It was a secret society. We had a website and an email address. Shhhhh... #NoVAedchat

kelleyjbrown1 Apr 26 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A5 Staff nominate Ss for a theme (respect, integrity) monthly, they get a cert & name on the wall. #NoVAedchat

Ted_Cooper54 Apr 26 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A5 our art Ts are having an in house show were EVERY Ss has a piece on the wall throughout our school. Talk about celebration! #NoVAedchat

BrianHerb17 Apr 26 @ 8:51 PM EDT

It was similar. Ts who got the "Award" were encouraged to choose someone to get it next. #NoVAedchat
