Rhea - 4th grade ELA at @CaldwellElemen in Florida. Coudn't resist a Beatles themed chat even though I should be grading writing! #ThePepperEffect#EduAR

We will use the Q1, A1 Format for our conversation. Don't forget to use #EduAR as the hashtag. Let's take this time to relax, connect and learn together. Question 1 is up in one minute. Hint: Think Song & Current Mood. #ThePepperEffect
A1: asking me (the walking jukebox hubby calls me) to pick 1 song is near impossible, but at the moment "Blackbird" by the Beatles really rings true. As a 3rd career and after personal challenges, I do feel like teaching is flying after breaking my wings! #EduAR#ThePepperEffect
A1: Current Mood is “Cant Stop This Feeling”
I got this feelin' inside my bones...
It goes electric, wavy when I turn it on..
All through my city, all through my home...
We're flyin' up, no ceilin', when we in our zone...
I’ve always got sunshine in my pocket baby! #EduAR
A1 #EduAr I hope my students think of me as their "Cheerleader". ....Oh I think that I found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her
A1: “Dream Big” by Ryan Shupe & the RubberBand!! It’s my class motto & current mission for my class!! We aren’t settling but rather shooting for the stars!! #EduAR
A1 Love the line in 'Old Church Choir' by Zach Williams "There ain't nothing gonna steal my Joy!"
I'm finding joy in my teaching! #EduARhttps://t.co/zjLFNmoa5q
A1b: Breathe by Jonny Diaz is epic, too, when I think about my #mindfulness goals this year and all that I have to learn about being mindful, staying in the moment, savoring the gift of the present. https://t.co/Ajd3BKOWEY#eduAR
A2: Connect-Connect-Connect with Ts and Ss. Working together to a common goal is a lot easier when you see the others as partners not just pieces in the puzzle that makes up the school. #eduAR
A2: Real problems require teams to solve them. Steve Jobs didn't invent the iPhone by himself; consequently, I try to give kids real problems that require collaboration. #EduAR
A2: Connections, Conversations, Caring...kids and adults! Relationships are the key to all the greatness we want to promote in our schools. #EduAR#ThePepperEffect
A2: We have established a culture of family in our building. When we have a problem we look to our family for help. That help comes from many places! #EduAR
A2: Start with an awesome idea like students hosting and sharing during an Appy Hour” ... share that idea with colleagues. Collaboration within the school is so powerful for students and teachers! #EduAR
2) everyone uses their unique talents to make the music. We don’t all have the same parts or the same instruments. We must work with our strengths and not always try to make weaknesses average #EduAR
A2: I teach in a small school, so we are like a family. Some of us have made a commitment to do book studies and outside fun together. We came up with a group name and got matching tshirts. #EduAr
A2 #EduAr Its kinda like eatin an elephant... one bite at a time!! Build your tribe and surround yourself with positivity and be contagious!! Connect, communicate, collaborate, celebrate and repeat!!
A2: Connect-Connect-Connect with Ts and Ss. Working together to a common goal is a lot easier when you see the others as partners not just pieces in the puzzle that makes up the school. #eduAR
A2: I started by making sure we all knew how our hearts and minds worked. We all figured out our “love language” at work and what “direction” we are. Discussed what the strengths and challenges of each one brings to the table #EduAR
A2: Within my classroom we establish a family culture that emphasizes teamwork! Ss constantly participate in activities that promote collaboration. As a school, we utilize the house system which is founded on connecting & working towards a common goal! #EduAR
A2: relationships, trust, laughter, voice. To collaborate you need to feel like a family. On a more specific note, @KaganOnline strategies such as Rally Coach, Q-dice, and placemat consensus teach Ss to work with partners/teams. #EduAR#ThePepperEffect
One of my all time favorites! Teach it to my kids every year before the high stakes test to pump them up and help them believe in their own greatness! ❤️ #EduAR
A2: Respect what each member brings to the “band”. Recognize we all have different strengths and call on them instead of expecting everyone to be the same. #eduAR
2) everyone uses their unique talents to make the music. We don’t all have the same parts or the same instruments. We must work with our strengths and not always try to make weaknesses average #EduAR
A2: Something we do is once a month is that we have faculty game night and then you bring a small token to trade. EX. include: Bunco and Bars, Grinch Game with ugly mugs, Musical chairs and magnets, and the best-turkey bowling. #EduAR
A2: Missed Q1 but one way we foster collaborative effort in the school house is through implementation of the WSCC model which helps us break out of silos to focus on supporting the #WholeChild from our areas of expertise #eduAR
A2: We work as a team throughout the day to meet our academic, social, and emotional goals. We have many class meetings throughout the day to discuss how to work through anything. #eduAR#ThePepperEffect
A2: Collaboration is relational. Getting to know your colleagues, understanding their passions & taking the time to connect on a personal level can help members gain mutual respect #EduAR
A2 We just have be there for each other through the good, the bad, and the ugly! We must reach out to each other with love and respect, recognizing each individuals unique strengths and gifts. Above all, we’ve got to spread joy, positivity and encouragement! #EduAR
A2: We have established a culture of family in our building. When we have a problem we look to our family for help. That help comes from many places! #EduAR
A2: I can't stress enough the magic a collaborative project can create. Kids painted #Kindness Rocks in Art class, then parents came to paint a family rock. @KidsForPeace#Kindness team from CA came to TX to put it all together into our Peace Garden. #teamwork#eduAR#mindfulness

Q3: The Beatles shed the status quo and created a new artform with their "Sgt. Pepper" Album. Share how you shed the status quo in the Schoolhouse. #EduAR#ThePepperEffect
A3 I stopped answering kids questions, instead gave them the tools/skills to figure it out on their own, transform from teacher to facilitator #edurebel#eduAR
I would be interested to learn how the master schedule was constructed to support this. Sounds like it took quite an effort to make this a priority. #eduAR#ThePepperEffect
A3: Multisensory teaching, flexible seating, and recognizing that all students even struggling learners have strengths we draw from and highlight! #EduAR
A3: Status quo is just something that I cannot live with...especially when it comes to kids. They deserve adults who take risks, question, innovate, empower, and continually evolve. Always expect MORE. #EduAR
A3: Multisensory teaching, flexible seating, and recognizing that all students even struggling learners have strengths we draw from and highlight! #EduAR
A3: By modeling risk taking and supporting the idea of #failforward. There is NO room for mediocre in education...time to kick it to the curb. #soapbox#eduar
A2: Collaboration is built on good listening skills. Just like musicians listen to rhythm, beat, and whatnot, educators and leaders need to listen to one another. We need to be in ‘tune’ with each other #EduAR
A3 #EduAr every school has its own unique community and demographics and so you must do whats best for your students. Get to know your students AND staff and personalize the learning for them all. Each day ask yourself are we doing our best to be our best for all stakeholders?
Q3: The Beatles shed the status quo and created a new artform with their "Sgt. Pepper" Album. Share how you shed the status quo in the Schoolhouse. #EduAR#ThePepperEffect
A3: very little status quo at @CaldwellElemen, Ts can show up in costumes like Sgt Pepper without Admin wondering why, they trust that we have Ss learning at heart and are making educational magic! Thinking of wearing a tutu and cape tomorrow... hmmm... #EduAR#ThePepperEffect
Q3: The Beatles shed the status quo and created a new artform with their "Sgt. Pepper" Album. Share how you shed the status quo in the Schoolhouse. #EduAR#ThePepperEffect
A3- Constantly trying to reflect on how we can have the biggest impact for our kids. How can we change programming, staffing, and think outside the box. Supporting staff and Ss as risk takers and problem solvers. Promote new ideas, challenge each other. #eduAR
A3: I made the choice a long time ago to find #outofthisworld opportunities for my students. I proudly turn lessons into experiences. Why talk "outer space" when you can literally turn your classroom into outerspace? #eduar
A3: I’m not afraid to take risks and seek out new opportunities for my kids!! They deserve the best & I’m always trying create amazing learning experiences for them! #EduAR
A3: I shred the status quo by networking and learning from people in my PLN. I get so much knowledge and perspective from educators all over the country and world. #EduAR
A3: By refusing to accept it. I ask lots of how and why questions. I like examining the flipside. If everyone is thinking the same then nobody is thinking. #EduAR
A3: I’m not afraid to take risks and seek out new opportunities for my kids!! They deserve the best & I’m always trying create amazing learning experiences for them! #EduAR
A3: I'm going to say that my ukulele steps me out of the box and goes a bit counter-status-quo, but it's the BEST way to engage and break down defenses. An old counselor, some fun music, and a magical little #growthmindset instrument! #eduAR#ThePepperEffect
A3: I shred the status quo by networking and learning from people in my PLN. I get so much knowledge and perspective from educators all over the country and world. #EduAR
A3: it takes courage to change the status quo. In my class, I had to shift the culture from an environment of low self esteem and accomplishment to one of excellence. Part perserverance, part supporting the kids all the way #eduAR#ThePepperEffect
A3: By refusing to accept it. I ask lots of how and why questions. I like examining the flipside. If everyone is thinking the same then nobody is thinking. #EduAR
A#3: I have pushed flexible seating, rewritten my ELA curriculum to push quality over quantity, advocated for better trauma sensitive skills, changed first grade report card to standards based, pushing colleagues to try new things. #EduAr
Brain Break for #EduAR!
Before our next question, take three minutes to get up and move and/or groove to your favorite song. Share that song now or take a selfie of you enjoying that tune! #ThePepperEffect
A nod to @LaVonnaRoth for Twitter Chat Brain Breaks! #igniteyourSHINE
A3 I allow time for creativity and release control of the learning to my kids as much as possible. Integrating the arts can take a learning objective sky high and bring so much joy to the process! #EduAR
A3: I love the freedom I have where I teach. I can dress silly, transform my room, create unique units and have support along the way. #eduAR#ThePepperEffect
You asked the PERFECT question for me to throw up that picture of me in my grass skirt when I was first learning the uke. It was a nervous wreck at my new school that day, but the ukulele helped melt my anxieties away! #eduAR#ThePepperEffect
A3 we have schools going through redesign to break certain mindsets and challenging what we have seen as traditional by designing and finding innovative ways to meet kids where they are #PersonalizedLearning#EduAR
Well-timed strumming! Love that sound. The uke is truly a game changer and belongs in every schoolhouse. We have a morning drum session. #EduAR#ThePepperEffect
A3: Status quo=boring and unchallenging. Like I tell my kiddos, challenges grow your brain! Im always searching for new tools and ideas that will GROW my kids!#EduAR
I currently have half a dozen or so songs racing through my head from Q1!!! Can't pump the music because daughter in bed and her room next to my office, so will keep singing in my head! #brainbreak#EduAR#ThePepperEffect

A4 #EduAr within my self-contained sped classroom I work with 3 amazing paras that are truly by daily lifeline!! Outside of the 4 walls of my classroom the #PLN I have connected with here on Twitter has honestly been life changing! I reach out here daily for support and ideas!
A4: it has been a rough year for my grade-level at my school with a lot of turn-over, so I'm still struggling to find my #EduBeatles. Twitter chats like this really help rejuvenate the spark and foster new ideas! #EduAR#ThePepperEffect
Samuel joining late from St. Louis where I currently teach 3rd - transitioning to Principal at First Lutheran School in Fort Smith, AR next school year. Excited to grow new connections! #EduAr
A4: My immediate collaborators would be my team at the middle school and my content area team. We've had some challenging conversations which have brought out the best for our kids. #eduAR#ThePepperEffect
A4: the whole village, our staff, families, & community & most importantly our kids! We are finding ways to bring student voice/advocacy to the forefront of how we reach them #EduAR
It's #moedchat time! We need YOUR ideas for chats. TOGETHER we innovate, learn/grow, have fun...& build a rich community! We're looking to go beyond basic topics to Qs, Stories....& we'd like to create Experiences. New use of technology w/chat, etc. DM/tweet/holler! #tlap#eduAR
A4: The other two elementary teachers at my school are amazing and we work well together. My students also inspire me everyday and help me with ideas. #eduAR#ThePepperEffect
A4: Switched to a new school district last year when I became an administrator so I’m getting to know my #EduBeatles Currently inspired by past colleagues and ex-bosses! 🤩 #EduAR
A4: I have enjoyed getting on Twitter recently and participating in chats-many educators have helped to reignite my spark. My penguin squad is a K, 1, 2, 3,
2 SPED, HS English teacher. #EduAr
A4: 1) A dear friend & retired teacher from my time at @GSD_Excellence She inspires me and challenges me to think outside the box. 2) A current co-worker we shared ideas & support each other in helping our students. Beyond blessed w/great educator friends #EduAR
Q5: The Beatles recorded their "Sgt. Pepper" Masterpiece over 50 years ago and its impact still resonates. What bold, next steps will you take to help build a lasting masterpiece in the Schoolhouse? #EduAR#ThePepperEffect
A4: @ohana_annie is one of my inspirational all-star educational heros. She reassures me, affirms me, & inspires me to do what feels just & right. She is a radical, revolutionary teacher who is empowering teenagers at my neighbouring highschool. #EduAR#ThePepperEffect
Hi. Jennifer, math Interventionist, from Cabot, AR A3 smashing the status quo means changing our teaching practices. No more teacher give-student get. It’s about discovery, listening to student voice. #EduAR
A5: We need to keep moving from me to WE, in order to not break up like the Beatles did. When we collaborate and work together, going deeper, reaching higher, magical things happen! #eduAR#ThePepperEffect
A5: In music, we've been working on connecting music reading with literacy and the results have been amazing. Next step for our team is to document our process to hopefully survive the "school bus" test. #eduAR#ThePepperEffect
A5: I'm still at the baby steps stage, but my masterpiece will come. It cannot be rushed. Slowly integrating more tech. Slowly trying my own things. As long as I keep the Ss in my 💜1st & foremost I know beautiful 🎼🎵🎶will come! #EduAR#ThePepperEffect

A5: I won’t be afraid to incorporate strategies that best meet the needs of my students. I will push myself to try new things for the benefit of my students. #EduAR#ThePepperEffect
A5 #EduAr Don't know if this will ever change in my opinion: "In teaching, "You can't do the Bloom Stuff until you take care of the Maslow stuff" Alan J. Beck
A5: continue to invest and plant seeds within our youth because the hope is in the years to come that the #FutureGeneration will do what we are currently doing, but even better & stronger #LifeLongLearners#EduAR
A5: I will continue to place the needs of students before blindly considering data points. If we focus on the symptoms of our shortcomings, student achievement will rise in the healthiest of ways. #EduAR
A5 I want to be the encourager someone else was for me! Without that little push, I never would have been on Twitter, built an amazing PLN, learned about awesome PD & books, led others in optional PD sessions in my district. #alwayslearning#EduAR

A5: I’ve found that my passion is #GlobalCollaboration!! I hope it creates lasting learning for my Ss & inspires other Ts to connect beyond their 4 walls!! #EduAR
A5 Every day, every learning experience is an opportunity to build a memory with a child that can last a lifetime. Every ounce of energy I invest in my kids, every hug, smile, “you matter”, “you are enough”, is creating a legacy of my passion and love for this profession. #EduAR
A5: Noted in some earlier but not being afraid to think outside of the box & new things. We are all looking to help our students be successful. We shouldn’t be afraid to step out. #EduAR
A5:I will keep reading and pushing others to be innovative.I teach in my hometown and have been there for 23 years now-2nd most veteran- so my investment is high to help a rural Iowa school maintain feasibility and high standards. As Gloria Gaynor says, "We will Survive" #EduAr
That's it for #EduAR! Thanks so much to @bethhill2829@nortnik & @Lindsey_Bohler for inviting me to guest moderate! Thanks to all for sharing & learning together. Catch you on the flip side! Don't forget to follow those here and build your #PLN Band. #ThePepperEffect
A5: I refuse to play the testing game to a point that I sacrifice best practice and innovative teaching to gear instruction toward preparing for an assessment...even if it means scores won't be as high. Tough, but must put kids before those numbers. #EduAR
A5: My response may be different but I believe it is less about the big things but instead about the little things. My goal is to continue to do the little things better! #EduAR
@MikeAlbarracin I'd love to hear more about this! I'm an ELA teacher but first go around at college 20+ yrs ago was a music major (I just didn't exactly finish LOL). This is my 1st yr teaching but future goals are to incorp much more music! #ThePepperEffect#EduAR
In reply to
@MikeAlbarracin, @smgaillard, @MikeAlbarracin
A5: We implemented lifelong guidelines and life skills in lieu of just PBiS. Huge impact on all of us, staff and students. Now we’re making steps towards restorative practices. #eduAR

#eduar A2: Tonight I hosted my "winning" teams from the 2nd marking period. They worked together to help each other learn math......outperformed other teams in class in on-board competitions. As always, the team that helped their "lowest" S the most won. Triple Choc. Mousse Cake
