A1. I have many, but the teacher that always stands out to me was Mr. Swartzentruber. He was my high school geometry and algebra teacher. He was patient and kind even though I had many classmates that didn’t repay the favor. He is always an inspiration. #MakeItReal#BeTheOne

A1: More than 1. Mrs. Johnston, HS English. Mrs. Schon, Journalism. Miss Virgil, Spanish. Dr. Mancing, college Spanish. He even helped me when I was lost in Spain! #MakeItReal
A1: Both my parents were amazing educators in their own right, and I had a few teachers at school that influenced me, one in particular, because she didn't let me complain about math class. She said it challenged me, but that didn't mean I wasn't good at it. #MakeItReal
A1: Mrs. Lewis, my third-grade teacher, drew me out of my timidness, held me to high expectations, and supported me on my journey when she knew the demons I faced. She changed my life at ages 8 and 9. We're Facebook friends today. #MakeItReal

Q2. In #BeTheOne For Kids I talk about how every educator has the power, but we need to unleash that power each day. What is the most important thing that every educator brings into their building each day? #MakeItReal#BeTheOne
A2: I don't know the answer you're looking for because I haven't read your book yet, but I would say LOVE. Kids can tell whether you love or care about them or not and whether you are sincere. #MakeItReal
A1. 8th-9th grade ELA. Mr. Robinson. Class was so much fun. Loved the way he taught author’s craft using written pieces and films. I’ve never read a book or watched a movie the same way again. Authors Craft is everywhere. He prepared me to teach! #MakeItReal#BeTheOne
A2. We must bring energy and a fresh start with us each day. Energy to be better at everything each day. Everyday is a new beginning. #MakeItReal#BeTheOne
Both parents are educators = You are not getting away with anything. Ha! I am sure it was inspiring to grow up around some awesome teachers that changed others lives. #MakeItReal

A1: Positivity and a smile! Too many broken and dysfunctional homes that our Ss come from! We have the power to #BeTheOne bright spot in a S 's day. (Haven't read the book yet but am going to for sure!) :) #MakeItReal
For sure! My dad passed in 2010, and I miss him as a dad AND as an amazing resource. He had over 500 attend his funeral in our high school gym. That's big for our small community. :) Inspiring to see the lives he touched. #MakeItReal
Creating those hooks is one of my favorite things to see in education. Creating experiences that change the way our Ss look at things. Awesome! #MakeItReal#BeTheOne

Talk about creating a legacy. One of my goals in life is to be an educator that my students tell their grandchildren about. I am confident your dad was that. A difference maker. #MakeItReal
Q3. #BeTheOne For Kids is a book about how every educator has the power to change the life of a child. How do you change student lives and where do you think your biggest impact is? #MakeItReal
He was as both a HS T and an elementary principal. Had a S the other day said that he remembered my dad as his principal. Love it. #MakeItReal#BeTheOne for Kids.
A2: A willing heart is needed by every educator every day. That willing heart allows physical and perpetual space to lessen between the teacher and students. #BeTheOne#MakeItReal

Same. My mom can walk into a room and a student 30 years ago will rush up and hug her. That's the kind of legacy we want to leave. #MakeItReal#BeTheOne for Kids.
A3. I change student lives by being the adult that believes in them. I don't give up on them and I truly believe that is what our biggest impact can be. #MakeItReal#BeTheOne
A3. Make them feel safe and cared for. But also give them rules and boundaries. If they learn to be responsible and free, it's all you could hope for. #MakeItReal
A3. If students know that you believe in them, you will make an impact. You know that quote, “Sometimes what students need isn’t on the lesson plan”? It’s true. #MakeItReal#BeTheOne
A3: I feel my biggest strength is my ability to treat them fairly each day, find a need they have and fill it, and accept each and every one of my Ss for who they are, not who I think they should be. #MakeItReal#BeTheOne for Kids.

A3: I teach Spanish. Spanish content is what I was hired to teach. However in the past ~5 yrs my biggest impact has been on high-risk kids. I help them know how much they are loved! I help them believe they can succeed. Some decided against suicide!! #MakeItReal
Right? And the thing ALL of her Ss that she had in the 7th grade (she taught Kinders too) remember that she read Where the Red Fern Grows to them and they LOVED it even though it made them cry at the end. :) #MakeItReal#BeTheOne
Thank you for the chat reminder of how important our influence and impact is on these children's lives! May the Lord grant us wisdom! Have a great week everyone. :-)#MakeItReal
A3. Take the time to Care. You may not see it in the year. Someone else may. As an AP my colleague and I tried each day to speak to a HS senior who was a “selective mute.” One day he began talking to us. He continued every day until end of year graduation. #MakeItReal#BeTheOne
