allikibs Mar 9 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1: not in the classroom, but I'm a major fan of #GoogleKeep and #GoogleCalendar to help me keep track of responsibilities #FLEdChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Mar 9 @ 8:13 PM EST

I also set the times for each class in calendar. My phone dings 5 mins before end of class. Students already know what that means. #FLedChat

CrowtherSara Mar 9 @ 8:13 PM EST

Q1: I use timers for everything! Different tones for different events. The Ss know when something is going on! #FLEdChat

dkonopelko - Moderator Mar 9 @ 8:14 PM EST

@allikibs Haven't used Google Keep yet, I'll have to check it out... what do you use it for? #FLEdChat

TeachingTykes Mar 9 @ 8:14 PM EST

dkonopelko - Moderator Mar 9 @ 8:16 PM EST

@TG_Neil GREAT advice! #FLEdChat

@WriteOnJulie nothing beats the feeling of crossing things off a to do list with a pen.

GruntledChalkie Mar 9 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2) Have a wind down strategy. Keep an eye on who takes too long to finish and who finishes too quick and manage accordingly #fledchat

mrterborg Mar 9 @ 8:16 PM EST

Q1 #fledchat Oh, we're supposed to be organized and manage things? (I'm probably one of the most disorganized librarians ...)

TG_Neil - Moderator Mar 9 @ 8:18 PM EST

@mrterborg Welcome, Mike. We just hit Q2. What time management advice would you give a new teacher? #FLedChat

TeachingTykes Mar 9 @ 8:18 PM EST

@allikibs I use them with Ss as well time for them in groups, presentations. Then I feel I'm not the meany rushing them #FLedChat

mrterborg Mar 9 @ 8:19 PM EST

A2. Pace yourself. Take time for yourself. Be yourself. Don't do it all yourself. #fledchat

dkonopelko - Moderator Mar 9 @ 8:19 PM EST

A2: Focus on the standards, not the chapters in the textbooks. You may be teaching entire sections you don't need. #FLEdChat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Mar 9 @ 8:19 PM EST

A2: Don't be afraid to be flexible, when learning opportunities arise, go with it. #FLedChat

cybraryman1 Mar 9 @ 8:19 PM EST

A2 Over plan and be ready to change on the fly. You never know what will happen so it is best to be prepared for the unexpected. #FLedChat

A5 scheduling #FLEDChat

dkonopelko - Moderator Mar 9 @ 8:44 PM EST

@kmhmartin That's HUGE! It hurts when someone observes you but doesn't know what REALLY going on in your classroom. #FLEdChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Mar 9 @ 8:44 PM EST

A5: Be aware. Share resources I might can use. Just have conversations with me. #FLedChat

fkotrotsios Mar 9 @ 8:44 PM EST

@MagicPantsJones we call them Choose a day of the week and call parents for positive things.. Positive brings more positive #FLedChat

kmhmartin Mar 9 @ 8:45 PM EST

@dkonopelko Don't you think that also indicates awareness? They have to know in order to be able to ask the right Qs. #FLedChat

MagicPantsJones Mar 9 @ 8:45 PM EST

@bonnie_strohl A good meds drawer in your classroom is important. #FLEdChat

When co-workers care enough to bring you meds, it means so much. #FLedChat https://t.co/0vKetfhIwB

Create a culture of professional support. Give people the resources to do their job, and then let them. Be a cheerleader. #fledchat

@TG_Neil So true! A caring community & culture goes a long way. In the little things #FLEdChat

dkonopelko - Moderator Mar 9 @ 8:47 PM EST

@KristinCHarr What kind of leadership opportunities did you have when you were in the classroom? #FLEdChat

dkonopelko - Moderator Mar 9 @ 8:47 PM EST

@fkotrotsios Would you go if it meant taking a day off? #FLEdChat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Mar 9 @ 8:48 PM EST

@dkonopelko I was the Webmaster, Technology Committee Chair, and on the Visionary Committee...oh and Media Liaison. #FLedChat

mrterborg Mar 9 @ 8:48 PM EST

@fkotrotsios Also allow us to do our own PD our Ts have a lot of wisdom and exp. #fledchat

Ashly2499 Mar 9 @ 8:48 PM EST

Food. We sometimes have Wonderful Wednesday, a department brings food (usally themed) for the other teachers as a special treat. #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Mar 9 @ 8:48 PM EST

Most definitely. Strong PD can make the rest of the year so much better. #FLedChat https://t.co/46ngMfEmB6

@nathan_stevens @TG_Neil If we don't actively listen, how can we expect our Ss to? #fledchat

eduk8fla Mar 9 @ 8:49 PM EST

Encourage model classrooms in your school and then cover classes for Ts to visit each other- there is great talent in each school! #FLEdChat

mrterborg Mar 9 @ 8:49 PM EST

@nathan_stevens @TG_Neil Yes, in the library! #fledchat

fkotrotsios Mar 9 @ 8:49 PM EST

@dkonopelko of course! What I will learn in one day I can give my Ss so much more #fledchat

@dkonopelko @fkotrotsios This was always tough for me, but #FETC was worth it. #FLedCHat

dkonopelko - Moderator Mar 9 @ 8:49 PM EST

@kmhmartin Did it hit home because you've been well-supported or otherwise? #FLEdChat

bonnie_strohl Mar 9 @ 8:49 PM EST

#FLEdChat A5 I am very lucky that my admin have explicitly given us Ts permission to try new things & to fail. It's liberating!

mrterborg Mar 9 @ 8:49 PM EST

@bonnie_strohl It's the little things that mean a lot. #fledchat. Getting thru the day is important. #survival
