Q2: Serving our students and our children to help them become the best contributing adults they can possibly be without giving up on them when times get tough.#pln365
Q1: I want to say world domination when other elements are missing. These are great tools, immensely important - but some important compass points are missing. #pln365
When students are having fun they are learning! We welcome them with the red carpet @ New Years, we welcome with music, we add in a dash of healthy staff/student competition and staff buy in! #pln365
Q2 How do you stay present with your students daily?
My answer:
Truly Listening, Greeting at the door, Walking them out, Eating lunch with them Weekly, Dancing to celebrate
#pln365
This is an example for them to not give up on themselves as adults. The world will not take it easy on them so they have to get up each day, grab their lunch pail and clock in! No matter what life throws at them, they have to go to work #pln365

A2: What are the benefits of viewing Ss in terms developmental milestones vs chronological age. What hope does this hold out for Ps of Ss with disabilities? #pln365
A2) Why are you a free advocate? As an English teacher & mother of a special needs child, it is easy for me to advocate for my child...however teaching a parent that's not part of the system how to navigate it is an amazing use of my education & life experience. #pln365
Q3 What do you do daily to remind yourself that you became an educator for students?
What moment this year brought out YOUR best which allowed your students to SHINE?
#pln365
A3: No one quite understands how hard this job is. And if you explained it out loud you might feel ashamed for negative. Why is it important to find others who share your vision for education? #pln365
Integrity is what brings us into the classroom each day. We have to stand by our core values even when it seems hard! Donโt use a short term fix for a long term problem๐ฏ #pln365
Q3: What can drive me to great success but has the potential to drive away others? Going back to community and collaboration here. How do I focus my passions and support others in theirs? #pln365
Itโs a simple as just being thankful for another day because each day we have an opportunity to make another memory not only for us, but for the students that we impact! #pln365
Q4 - what one of my Ss parents said to me after watching her daughter exhibit for the first time. She had no clue what we were about or her daughter was capable of such things. #pln365
#pln365 A3- being their voice when they canโt or their parents request your help. I remember 17 years ago I persisted a whole year to get a student a set of reading glasses through the system and she got them the last day of school
Iโve done the standing alone, and it does take courage. It is hard when you get labeled not a team player all because of trying to do right by kids. #pln365
That is a BIG compliment coming from you, Alana. I am touched. Sure is nice to be back on a Twitter PLN though, and hope we can both stay active here this summer. #pln365

Q4: How do we build a truly collaborative learning environment, honoring ALL as teachers and learners? (I am on a theme tonight). We are in the moment with each other. #pln365

You are amazing guys. Have a great night. For those ending your years soon, enjoy every moment! Put down the box and just enjoy them. They love you so much, cause I know we do.
#pln365
This is why developing good relationships, not just with students, but with everyone is so important. If the trust is there, disagreements can be productive. #pln365
