    9:05 Q1: Too often we get stuck in simply managing a mediocre culture. What are the components that play a part in educators getting stuck in just maintaining the status quo? #3rdchat #Culturize

    A1: Reluctance to address resistance...letting little things go that snowball into larger issues #3rdchat #Culturize

    Hey there! Im Courtney, 3rd grade T from Arkansas #3rdchat
  • casas_jimmy Jan 24 @ 9:06 PM EST
    A1: At some point in their careers some T's begin to believe that what they do no longer matters or they are no longer making the difference they believed they would. Consequently, they lose hope. #Culturize #3rdchat

    In reply to @lesahaney
  • brettabbotts17 Jan 24 @ 9:06 PM EST
    A1: Everything seems "just fine" or there is a lack of communication about what is really going on. Some leaders get stuck behind the desk instead of out in classrooms taking the temp every day! #Culturize #3rdchat
  • lesahaney Jan 24 @ 9:06 PM EST
    A1: Living in the "echo chamber" of our own classroom and school. Not being connected to a larger PLN. #3rdchat
    In reply to @casas_jimmy
  • eileenheller Jan 24 @ 9:06 PM EST
    A1. Time is what most will say, but we all have 24 hours in a day and those that do it prioritize. Fear and not knowing where to start. @casas_jimmy #3rdchat #culterize
  • PrincipalCMill Jan 24 @ 9:06 PM EST
    #3rdchat #culturize A1: As a principal, I often fear how a No answer from me will simply maintain the status quo. As educators, we have to take risks and have permission to fail.
  • SycamoreSprgsES Jan 24 @ 9:07 PM EST
    Hello! Kristen Ray, Principal at Sycamore Springs in Dripping Springs, Texas. Excited to be here! #3rdchat #culturize

    In reply to @mrsvking8
  • nimesys Jan 24 @ 9:07 PM EST
    A1: lack of support and motivation from admin could cause a lull in creating a strong culture; no time to get together as a staff to reflect and enjoy time together #3rdchat
  • teampackattack Jan 24 @ 9:07 PM EST
    A1: a lack of communication from the top can help maintain the status quo. Effective communication and day to day demonstration through action is what helps facilitate change and growth #3rdchat
  • cybraryman1 Jan 24 @ 9:07 PM EST
    A1 People get very comfortable in the situation that they are in and are afraid of change. They are afraid to take risks and not be able to accomplish it. #3rdchat
  • lesahaney Jan 24 @ 9:07 PM EST
    Hi Chad. Glad to have you join us! #3rdchat
    In reply to @PrincipalCMill

    In reply to @SycamoreSprgsES
  • Shreve3309 Jan 24 @ 9:08 PM EST
    Breaking out of mediocre and pushing toward a powerful culture is HARD work! One component might be that some don’t revisit/remind themselves often enough of WHY we must improve culture. #3rdchat
  • lesahaney Jan 24 @ 9:08 PM EST
    Here is Q1 again if you missed it. #3rdchat
    In reply to @casas_jimmy
  • erinu_TX Jan 24 @ 9:08 PM EST
    A1: Complacency & compliance, struggling to be reflective & asking ourselves if what we are doing is best for learners or more comfortable for us. #3rdchat

    Thanks for having me! #3rdchat
    In reply to @lesahaney, @ds_elementary
  • KaragrozisPE Jan 24 @ 9:09 PM EST
    A1- by failing. By going above and beyond and it just not clicking for the Ss or they happen to just not show they appreciate it.. although 1 student might.. Teachers than wonder why they bother to do so much for such little appreciation. #3rdchat

    Bri from Yuma, Arizona! Glad I could make it this week!! #3rdchat
  • PrincipalCMill Jan 24 @ 9:09 PM EST
    #3rdchat #culturize A1: @Shreve3309 culture is tough work...We do often forget our why.
  • lesahaney Jan 24 @ 9:10 PM EST
    Oh Emily, this is so spot on. Losing sight of our "why" makes it hard to keep focused during the challenging times. #3rdchat
    In reply to @Shreve3309
  • CourtneyDawn77 Jan 24 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1: Feeling overwhelmed with everything we as educators are expected to do can keep you from putting time and effort into building your culture. #3rdchat
  • MrsEGrade3 Jan 24 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1: Everyone needs a pusher! Someone that inspires and challenge/motivates to always be better for the kids! #3rdchat
  • casas_jimmy Jan 24 @ 9:10 PM EST
    Remember, everyone is responsible for the culture & climate of the school. We must all do our part to eradicate average. #3rdchat #Culturize
    In reply to @nimesys, @eileenheller
  • Ron_Martiello Jan 24 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1: Expectations can maintain a mediocre culture. Living in proficiency promotes status quo. We should be swinging for the fences. #3rdchat

      9:05 Q1: Too often we get stuck in simply managing a mediocre culture. What are the components that play a part in educators getting stuck in just maintaining the status quo? #3rdchat #Culturize
  • casas_jimmy Jan 24 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1: We fall victim to the belief that others are responsible for our morale, when in fact, we are responsible for our own morale. Our experiences will be whatever we want them to be so choose great! #Culturize #3rdchat
  • erinu_TX Jan 24 @ 9:10 PM EST

    A1: Not asking teachers to step out of their comfort zones! Change is scary but so necessary for growth! We need to continue to grow for our students. #3rdchat
  • lesahaney Jan 24 @ 9:11 PM EST
    Yes! Being connected to educators in your school, district, and in the Twittersphere can help so much. #3rdchat

    Yes! My one word this year is "someone." Every time I think "someone" should.... I refocus and think about what I can do to be that "someone" #3rdchat

  • cybraryman1 Jan 24 @ 9:12 PM EST
    It really helps if you have an administration that encourages taking risks and inspires their staff while supporting their effforts. My Risk-Taking & Innovation page https://t.co/KVHyXKngH5 #3rdchat
  • erinu_TX Jan 24 @ 9:12 PM EST
    Absolutely agree! We have to model iterating & failing forward for our students if we expect them to make this personal practice. #3rdchat #Culturize
    In reply to @bspangler2017
  • casas_jimmy Jan 24 @ 9:12 PM EST
    Might be easier but it is also lonelier. We need our best people inspiring others to strive for excellence, not isolation. #3rdchat #Culturize

    In reply to @PrincipalCMill
  • casas_jimmy Jan 24 @ 9:13 PM EST
    Q2: There are an abundance of both frustrations & blessings that come w/being an educator.  What words of encouragement can you give others here to inspire them to believe they can still be the change for kids & colleagues? #3rdchat #Culturize
  • KFelicello Jan 24 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1- Sometimes change can be hard and met with resistance. Yet if we don't change, if we teach the same lessons in the same room, with the same techniques for 30 years burnout is inevitable. It is more tiring to stay the same, embrace change! #3rdchat
  • lesahaney Jan 24 @ 9:13 PM EST
    I know I have been guilty of this at times. #3rdchat
    In reply to @PrincipalCMill, @CourtneyDawn77
  • dasheffield23 Jan 24 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1: These teachers get focused on the negative and the problems and lose sight of their WHY #3rdchat #Culturize

    In reply to @lesahaney
  • lesahaney Jan 24 @ 9:15 PM EST
    We have to listen to that resistance though. Is there an unmet need that is causing it. Resources? Time? #3rdchat

    #3rdchat Providing specific examples of your own personal success stories and ideas.
  • casas_jimmy Jan 24 @ 9:15 PM EST
    Change isn't scary. NOT changing is scary. Becoming irrelevant is scary! Being in the same place a year from today is scary. We must remove that word from our teacher vocabulary. #3rdchat #Culturize
  • lesahaney Jan 24 @ 9:16 PM EST
    Hop on over to #3rdchat We are chatting with @casas_jimmy, author of #culturize Let’s eradicate average and inspire greatness! Every Student. Every Day. Whatever It Takes.
  • casas_jimmy Jan 24 @ 9:16 PM EST
    A2: Doubt is part of being an educator. In your most challenging moments, lean on those you trust & let them know your fears. Remember, alone you can be an example, but together you can be exemplary! #3rdchat #Culturize
  • erinu_TX Jan 24 @ 9:16 PM EST
    A2: We are in the business of people and dealing with matters of the heart. What we say and do can and does make a lasting impact on the lives of our students each minute of every day. #3rdchat #Culturize
  • dasheffield23 Jan 24 @ 9:16 PM EST
    A2: Most of the time ... our impact on students goes WELL beyond the classroom. Oftentimes we don’t see this though. Just remember the reason you became an educator:) #3rdchat #Culturize
  • mrsvking8 Jan 24 @ 9:16 PM EST
    Me too! I was just telling our friend how much I ❤ my PLN #3rdchat

  • Shreve3309 Jan 24 @ 9:16 PM EST
    A2: Favorite quote replays in my mind all of the time...”My teacher thought I was smarter than I was, so I was.” Our students are FULL of phenomenal potential and we must challenge ourselves to unlock their minds!!! No easy task, but the most worthy indeed! #3rdchat
  • SycamoreSprgsES Jan 24 @ 9:16 PM EST
    A2: as educators, we are blessed with a fresh start each day. We are given the opportunity to reset and truly impact our craft and the kiddos we work so hard for. #3rdchat

    Excellent point... we have to be problem finders in order to break down barriers & eliminate frustration. #3rdchat #Culturize

  • MrsEGrade3 Jan 24 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A2: Even if you don’t think you are getting through to your Ss, they are hearing SOMETHING! So stay positive and do what’s best for them‼️ #3rdchat
  • RobinARileyEdu Jan 24 @ 9:17 PM EST
    These are not my own words, but words that help me stay grounded to my “why.” Remember the heart of why you chose to be an educator and keep positive notes or letters to remind you on some of the more challenging days. #culturize #3rdchat
    In reply to @casas_jimmy
  • PrincipalCMill Jan 24 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A2: #3rdchat #Culturize Have to remember our WHY. For most of us, it was for kids. The kids that are the toughest need us the most. Those kids we go home thinking about. We may be all they got. It is not for the weak of heart. Our kids need us to our best.

  • katnish16 Jan 24 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A2: Never doubt that every little thing you do for students matters. Not to toot my own horn too much but during our recent Kindness Week a kiddo wrote this and I barely remembered it. #3rdchat
  • Red819Love Jan 24 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A2 Teachers could be the only positive interaction a student has, greet them with a smile and hug them goodbye each and every day.#3rdchat
  • casas_jimmy Jan 24 @ 9:18 PM EST
    Agree Jessica. We must remember that educators are not superhuman. Yes, it's okay to get tired. Give yourself permission. You are tired becasue you work so darn hard! #3rdchat #Culturize
    In reply to @Owl_b_TorresEdu
  • casas_jimmy Jan 24 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A2: Don’t wait for others to change. You change! Take responsibility for your own behavior. Don’t worry about others who are not doing the things that need to be done. Take the initiative to be the change, not the same! #3rdchat #Culturize
  • casas_jimmy Jan 24 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A2: Keep going. No matter what, keep going. There will be time when it seems nothing can go right. Going thru difficult times allows you to appreciate the best moments of teaching. Don’t get discouraged, rather cherish the challenges. #3rdchat #Culturize
  • mrsvking8 Jan 24 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A2: you never know who you can touch with your words and actions. Getting to know your students can make all the difference. Just keep being there. #3rdchat

    Q3: What are some current adult behaviors in schools that are not positive for kids that need to be adjusted, re-examined, or eliminated all together? #3rdchat #Culturize
  • CourtneyDawn77 Jan 24 @ 9:21 PM EST
    A2: Its ok to be frustrated, overwhelmed, and exhausted. Find something that recharges you. Maybe it’s a weekend trip, maybe it’s twitter chats. Take care of yourself. #3rdchat
  • Kidsmathtalk Jan 24 @ 9:21 PM EST
    A2: younare enough and everything you do makes a difference in someone’s life. You might be witness to it today but the impact has been made. #3rdchat
  • lesahaney Jan 24 @ 9:21 PM EST
    A2: Letting them know that we all have been there. Shatter that #PerfectTeacherMyth as @aaron_hogan would say. Show them they matter! #3rdchat
  • casas_jimmy Jan 24 @ 9:21 PM EST
    Spot on! The 3R's are the foundation to a positive school culture IMO. #3rdchat #Culturize
    In reply to @erinu_TX, @mrsvking8
  • Kidsmathtalk Jan 24 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A3: complaining. If you are complaining then you need to think about why you are still in this environment. Maybe it’s not the place for you. #3rdchat
  • casas_jimmy Jan 24 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A3: Avoid arguing w/students in order to prove we are right. We have to quit making it about us as the adults & remember that we are the adults. Let’s keep the focus on understanding the root cause of students’ poor behavior & model understanding & empathy. #3rdchat #Culturize
  • lesahaney Jan 24 @ 9:22 PM EST

    In reply to @CourtneyDawn77
  • dasheffield23 Jan 24 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A3: Eliminated behaviors need to be sarcasm at students and speaking harshly. #3rdchat
  • SycamoreSprgsES Jan 24 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A3: taking on the victim role, assuming no need for change, lack of collective ownership and lack of humility. #3rdchat
  • mmineau Jan 24 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A2 go back to the beginning, where did the passion begin & remember why, channel energy & fail forward #3rdchat
  • Kidsmathtalk Jan 24 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A3: thinking that you as the teacher have all the answers is incorrect and dangerous. We are teaching the future and we don’t know all the problems they will have to solve. Let’s teach them to think and to problem solve together #3rdchat

    In reply to @lesahaney
  • jmathewsMEd Jan 24 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A3: Ts trying to prove"power" over Ss and not educating on why behavior should change. #culturize #3rdchat
  • KFelicello Jan 24 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A3-Saying kids are out of control...teach them what being in control means. Not talking one on one to kids enough...taking things too personal...not enough chance to learn, make up, or correct errors...Unfortunately at times I have been guilty of all but I'm improving #3rdchat
  • Shreve3309 Jan 24 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A3: excuse-making, bringing home stresses to work and letting them affect the way we interact with our kids, PESSIMISM, forgetting our purpose which can lead to not bring our best for our kids each day. #3rdchat
  • showmerob Jan 24 @ 9:24 PM EST

    You must be firm, and let them know that you aren't going to give in, but you must also be respectful. You should also give reason with your answer so that they understand your reasoning. #3rdchat

    A7:@casas_jimmy the more we try new things together as class or as a staff the more included we will become. Ppl become excluded when we stick to what some know or are familiar with. When everyone is a novice the field is made more equal and inclusive #3rdchat
  • MrDavisonFHS Jan 24 @ 9:56 PM EST
    Hey folks! Tyler, HS ELA teacher from Fulton, MO here. A7: A practical step toward contributing to an inclusive culture is allowing student choice in learning activities. If they're allowed to choose something that fits their passion, they will feel more connected! #3rdchat
  • erinu_TX Jan 24 @ 9:56 PM EST
