A2 A T told me not to let my students know the real me. But how can I role model & how do they know I care about them if I didnt? #ditchbook

SkyWinings Jun 30 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A1) Ask Ss how they are? Then intro curriculum, then bring context to curriculum to engage Ss in learning #ditchbook

LScumpieru Jun 30 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A2: Ss sometimes need a responsible adult role model who will listen and care about them. #DitchBook

jmattmiller - Moderator Jun 30 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A2: As Ts, we can fill many qualities of a friend: empathy, companionship, etc. Gotta maintain T/S separation to a degree. #DitchBook

mrfuehr Jun 30 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A2: set high expectations along with creating relationships with all Ss. This takes time but it's well spent #ditchbook

Americans2012 Jun 30 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A1 Questions like what if r great 2 what if ww2 never happened #ditchbook

lisa_westman Jun 30 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A2: a true friend can give you feedback and you think about what they said and make changes. #ditchbook

saraschoepke Jun 30 @ 10:16 PM EDT

I think that while keeping boundaries, students need to know we are also humans with feelings, stresses, and lives outside school #ditchbook

MViTDiTeach Jun 30 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A2: Having my daugh/son @ school showed me how 2 be friends w/Ss, they r more willing 2 engage in disc & push themselves further #ditchbook

A2 Being a friend to Ss means establishing trust which leads to a healthy & fun learning environment for all.#ditchbook

halversonandrea Jun 30 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A2) Take the +s of friendships: honesty, caring, genuine interest, respect. Some limitations, but Ss should know they matter. #ditchbook

mrskcj Jun 30 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@sandyrotto @jmattmiller @burgessdave There is a big difference between being FRIENDLY and being FRIENDS. #ditchbook #professionalism

Random side note: Does anyone else almost write #DutchBook when typing #DitchBook? #HollandHatesTextbooksToo

RewardingEdu Jun 30 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A2 I don't think it's appropriate for adults & kids to be friends. FriendLY rapport & relationships, yes! Leadership & love! #ditchbook

MsChromebearT Jun 30 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A2) Students tend to respect their friends and want to be around them Friendship creates a support system and safety😊 #ditchbook

@HelenWilt that's why #geniushour works @JoyKirr #ditchbook

AEWKK Jun 30 @ 10:54 PM EDT

A7: Creating on YouTube #ditchbook

TTmomTT - Moderator Jun 30 @ 10:55 PM EDT

A7 If this ❑ were my classroom, Ss' learning must matter & make differences outside that ❑ for them to own it. #ditchbook
