MrsMHenning - Moderator May 30 @ 8:07 PM EDT

#ETCoaches - Hello all from PA. I am an online tech coach for TeachersFirst. Happy to be here again ;) You are in for a great chat!

MrsMHenning - Moderator May 30 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1. #ETCoaches - Prevent burnout. You can't be the best coach if you are exhausted and stressed out.

KristinCHarr May 30 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: You can't effectively help others if you don't take care of yourself. #ETCoaches

Mrsmaulsby May 30 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1--It's like the instructions on the airplane...Always put your mask on first. #etcoaches

Mrsmaulsby May 30 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1 cont... #etcoaches

DebbieKryspin May 30 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: When you are calm, relaxed and in a good place - everything else is easier and better. #ETCoaches

Mrsmaulsby May 30 @ 8:11 PM EDT

Q2. Include A2 and #ETCoaches in your tweets. #etcoaches

DebbieKryspin May 30 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A2: I am the best listener for others when I allow the calm and stillness in #etcoaches

rpencetech May 30 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1: #ETCoaches need to model what want those who we coach to put into practice - lead by example, & important to be able to be at best.

Mrsmaulsby May 30 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2-- I know how important this is, but I just don't make time for it. This is a pic of my pond on Q2. Need more pond time. :) #etcoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator May 30 @ 8:13 PM EDT

#ETcoaches - After this afternoon's chat I realized that they do NOT play a large enough role. I take time to exercise (most days), that it.

moreruckus2 - Moderator May 30 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Tune in 6/27 for another live #HackTheClassroom. More tips, more hacks, more fun! https://t.co/DaJk1tK0DJ #MIEExpert #ETCoaches

Mrsmaulsby May 30 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2-- @thezenteacher says it requires scheduling and making it a priority. (Not a direct quote!) but my takeaway. #etcoaches

KristinCHarr May 30 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2: I am bad with the stillness and silence, but we do have a great space to work in our office :). #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator May 30 @ 8:16 PM EDT

#ETCoaches - you are correct. This is so true for both teaching, parenting, friendship, and all relationships.

In reply to @DebbieKryspin

rpencetech May 30 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2: I find others calm when I come in calm, find time & place to step away from classroom & have ability to reflect on practice #ETCoaches

DebbieKryspin May 30 @ 8:18 PM EDT

I agree @rpencetech ... the same is true if you enter agitated and stressed. Important to remember as coaches #ETCoaches

In reply to @rpencetech, @rpencetech

Mrsmaulsby May 30 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Q3. Include A3 and #ETCoaches in your tweets. #etcoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator May 30 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1. #ETCoaches - Prevent burnout. You can't be the best coach if you are exhausted and stressed out.

KristinCHarr May 30 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@Mrsmaulsby Except we aren't in the office to use it that much...lol. #ETCoaches

Mrsmaulsby May 30 @ 8:17 PM EDT

That is awesome! My desk is in a storeroom, so I am motivated to get up and out. Walking always helps me quiet my mind.
In reply to @KristinCHarr

DebbieKryspin May 30 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A3: Negativity and external stressors, not time for that! #etcoaches

rpencetech May 30 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A3: I have been working on the Power of No, delegate & collaborate where can, use effective electronic systems to help flow. #ETCoaches

Mrsmaulsby May 30 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3-- I am compelled to volunteer for new adventures! Which quickly turn into another item on an overloaded plate. Focus.slow down #etcoaches

KristinCHarr May 30 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3: Hmmm...there are a few long forms I can think of. #ETCoaches

dsdPD May 30 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3: by subtracting unnecessary meetings, I feel like I can gain more traction as a coach #ETCoaches

minitan95 May 30 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A1: I can only give to others to the extent I've given to myself. #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator May 30 @ 8:22 PM EDT

#ETCoaches A3. The only thing that I can think of is volunteering. I have gotten better in some ways, and worse in others.

rpencetech May 30 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A4: I reflect on my own practice, listen & talk to others, take time for myself each day & share ways I practice this w/others #ETCoaches

minitan95 May 30 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3: I can let go of others agendas for me once I have mine set. I tend to want to help too much. #ETCoaches

Stephanie_GXY May 30 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2: Allows me to recover my composure & refocus on my vision. Helps me in making the best rational decision when I feel zen #etcoaches

Stephanie_GXY May 30 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3: Ignoring naysayers & negativity in my life. Entertaining them take away a lot of my precious time & energy #etcoaches

minitan95 May 30 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A:4 I practice by asking my "why" before I undergo many of my main tasks. I also review my day each evening. #ETCoaches

Mrsmaulsby May 30 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A2--Here is what @thezenteacher actually said about A2. :) This is why he is the writer! #ETCoaches

thezenteacher May 30 @ 1:17 PM EDT
Be intentional. Don't assume it will happen. It won't. Schedule it. Our culture doesn't value or reward stillness or silence. #etcoaches
- Mrsmaulsby May 30 @ 1:15 PM EDT
  
  A2--this is my biggest challenge. I am looking forward to hearing how some of you make this happen. #etcoaches

DebbieKryspin May 30 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A5: Debbie is allowed to be kind to herself, celebrate successes and learn from mistakes. #etcoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator May 30 @ 8:32 PM EDT

#ETCoaches A5 - Permission to stop a project before it is done, even if that means going to bed without finishing (which is REALLY hard).

BrantonTech May 30 @ 8:33 PM EDT

I love this and can so relate! #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator May 30 @ 8:32 PM EDT

#ETCoaches A5 - Permission to stop a project before it is done, even if that means going to bed without finishing (which is REALLY hard).

Mrsmaulsby May 30 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A5-- Permission to take a break from "fill-in-the-blank" that is wearing me out or sapping energy. Permission to need/take time. #etcoaches

Stephanie_GXY May 30 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A5: It's okay not meeting the timeline! Daily small progress is better than putting it into a complete halt without even trying #ETCoaches

Stephanie_GXY May 30 @ 8:37 PM EDT

+A5: Occasional procrastination is allowed as long as it does not turns into a habit #ETCoaches

minitan95 May 30 @ 8:38 PM EDT

KristinCHarr May 30 @ 8:54 PM EDT
