@TechKnowLeah @PlanoAHS Absolutely! #pisdedchat

TxGeekyTeacher Sep 20 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1 no one knows what you don't get to in a day. It's ok if you don't do everything on the plans. #pisdedchat

stephirsch Sep 20 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1 Speak up. Even if someone has been teaching for 20 years, everyone can benefit from new and fresh ideas. Your voice matters!! #pisdedchat

HeatonMubeen Sep 20 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1. As a first year teacher, the advice I get most often is 'don't be afraid to ask for help!' #pisdedchat

shepardpatriot Sep 20 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1 "Do not be afraid to ask for help." So thankful for the Daffron peeps who raised me? #pisdedchat

MrsRosser2nd Sep 20 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: Using your resources, those around you. Connect with S parents = great rapport! #pisdedchat

cjwashington31 Sep 20 @ 9:16 PM EDT

#pisdedchat A1: Beg, borrow, steal...no need to recreate the wheel. I tell my folks this all the time. And, breathe.

MsBurke_Grade1 Sep 20 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: Let UBD be your guide, expand your PLN, ask Elementary Academic Services for help! So many resources to help! #pisdedchat

GeralynHendrick Sep 20 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2. Don't be afraid to share ideas during planning because new teachers have new tricks & tools to share! #pisdedchat

MrsRosser2nd Sep 20 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: It's okay to not know all the answers. It's okay to get back to someone. #pisdedchat

EdTechMason Sep 20 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2 Focus on building relationships with all stakeholders: students, teachers, parents, and administration. #pisdedchat

kristinransom Sep 20 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: I make myself available. Offer to help and be present because most new Ts don't know what they need until they need it #pisdedchat

Jyoung1219 Sep 20 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@sew1080 It's advice I definitely try to live by. #pisdedchat

cjwashington31 Sep 20 @ 9:18 PM EDT

#pisdedchat Q2: There are no stupid questions. Model risk taking by asking questions. Sometimes you have not bc you ask not.

kristinransom Sep 20 @ 9:18 PM EDT

New T side note: I love having brand new Ts in a building! They bring fresh ideas, keep building young, & liven up the building #pisdedchat

TxGeekyTeacher Sep 20 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2 I just offer my time & I make sure to share things others might over look because it's habit for the vets on campus #pisdedchat

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Sep 20 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2 find coworkers that turn into your friends so you can be there for each other in the crazy times #pisdedchat

HeatonMubeen Sep 20 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2. 'The work will still be there tomorrow. Let's go home.' -said at about 6:30 pm on week 2. 😬#pisdedchat

kristinransom Sep 20 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2: the honest answer: I make them shoot silly videos, embarrass them, and initiate them into the family! #pisdedchat

pivonkaleads Sep 20 @ 9:22 PM EDT

kristinransom Sep 20 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3: I would chill out a bit. Not worry about cutting lamination perfectly. Realize kids don't notice perfect name tags. #pisdedchat

sew1080 Sep 20 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3 I would tell myself to calm down and not be so intimidated. I got the job for a reason, right? #pisdedchat

shepardpatriot Sep 20 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A2 Ask for help, be flexible, & collaborative; Be open to new ideas;participate in discussions;build relationships w/ Ss & team #pisdedchat

MsBurke_Grade1 Sep 20 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: I wouldn't be so hard on myself! Mistakes are part of the learning process and there are opportunities to do better! #pisdedchat

@EdTechMason @SmorePages Thinking about using the classroom feature for Ss to use as a blog #pisdedchat

stephirsch Sep 20 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@sew1080 So effective & the fact that everything is recorded w/revision history or the comment log, Ss can go back & see growth! #pisdedchat

A6: Collaborate, share, divide and conquer, TEAMWORK. No matter what, my philosophy is always #familyfirst ! #pisdedchat

pivonkaleads Sep 20 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A6 This is the most difficult part of my job as a new T. I feel like it never ends! I'm getting better @ leaving "work" @ work #pisdedchat

A4 cont'd - Kaymbu app for communicating what's happening in class to parents. Really easy to share pics/news w. parents! #pisdedchat

trudy_fern Sep 20 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A6 Don't be afraid to share the workload with fellow Ts #pisdedchat https://t.co/2JSTTgnFQn

Q6 - How do you minimize the workload you take home? How do you balance work life and home life? #pisdedchat https://t.co/oJc6Fwm1vW

A6: I used to work all evening & every weekend. Then I had kids. I'm a better T now because of balance & prioritizing #pisdedchat

EdTechMason Sep 20 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A6 Time management is the key: using time before/after school, during conference/PLC, and using #edtech to ease the load #pisdedchat

stephirsch Sep 20 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A6 Yeah… This doesn’t happen. We are 100% digital which means it’s always 100% accessible. #pisdedchat

A6 Following in my school's steps and devoting certain night(s) every week as family time- no work allowed. #pisdedchat

sew1080 Sep 20 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@stephirsch But I find I can leave earlier because I can get to it after my kids are in bed. I spend time w/ them and work later #pisdedchat

TxGeekyTeacher Sep 20 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A6. I've just stopped taking the bag home. There will alway be some other project to do. Make family a priority. #pisdedchat

kristinransom Sep 20 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@LillyJensby is lurking! Miss you friend! #pisdedchat

sew1080 Sep 20 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@TxGeekyTeacher The bag always stayed where I dropped it anyway, so why bring it home? #pisdedchat

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Sep 20 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A6 I used to minimize my workload by grading right away, assigning team projects, and/or peer grading. #pisdedchat

LillyJensby Sep 20 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A6: Reach out to fellow Ts for time-saving tips and tricks. Most of all, don't sweat the small stuff. #pisdedchat

stephirsch Sep 20 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@sew1080 Definitely! Sometimes I am more productive at home :) #pisdedchat

shepardpatriot Sep 20 @ 9:58 PM EDT

A6 Still working on this! I have been trying to make better use of my time so I can leave work at work. #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Sep 20 @ 9:58 PM EDT

So, #pisdedchat peeps - how about that @pivonkaleads huh? Was that a great job for a first time moderator or what?!

MrsRosser2nd Sep 20 @ 9:59 PM EDT
