ShawnaWrightMT Jul 18 @ 10:08 PM EDT

A1: I tend to jump right in and seek out friendship and help. That means people don't have a chance to make the effort. #mtedchat

A1: Elaine's dedication to connect with me that first year, set a standard for how to best support teachers new to building. #mtedchat

Before I became a T I met a lady at the factory that I worked at. She was an amazing person who mentored me in life. #mtedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Jul 18 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A2 I like to share things and help as much as I can. I’m a little shy about approaching people sometimes…getting better though! #MTedchat

#mtedchat A2: I'm really good at connecting with S's over their interests. eg. This year, my room had an impromptu anime watching club

GambillJulie Jul 18 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A2: I make people laugh. I show interest in what others are interested in. I stay positive and listen. I have perpetual energy. #mtedchat

A2: Don't think there's an educator who doesn't share some similar experiences as peers. Find those commonalities, grow from there #mtedchat

ShawnaWrightMT Jul 18 @ 10:23 PM EDT

A2: Sometimes people's behavior is due to something else in their life. Forgiveness & patience help. #mtedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Jul 18 @ 10:23 PM EDT

A2 again, I’m always so inspired by Ts who excel at connecting w/ Ss such as @kevinhoneycutt @DonWettrick #MTedchat

Personalities are so different. It's easiest to connect with those most willing. Some have walls, some don't #mtedchat
