A2: plenty of lessons failed... often with 1st period, so I fixed what I could for the day! Often it was the directions... #OrEdChat

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 11 @ 11:43 PM EDT

A2. I said out loud, " This isn't working out the way I planned, let's have recess while I figure it out." cheers followed #oredchat

I just said, "Oh rats." Let's think about another way we can do this? Asked the kids for help and we worked together. #Oredchat

In reply to @jkjohnsonbell

lenbryan25 Jun 11 @ 11:47 PM EDT

A2 Early in career, I would panic if lesson went bad. Now: "That was bad, wasn't it?" & move on. Ss need 2 see fails & how we deal #oredchat

jkjohnsonbell Jun 11 @ 11:47 PM EDT

A3: A student with autism was tough for me - I needed to learn about what he needed - it got better when I understood more. #OrEdChat

A3. Having an adult not do well, and having redirect, reteach is always the hardest thing for me. #oredchat

KathiSueSummers Jun 11 @ 11:49 PM EDT

Question 4 is right around the corner. #OrEdChat #LeadLAP #BookSnaps

SteinbrinkLaura Jun 11 @ 11:50 PM EDT

A3: Taught in small Texas HS. Graduating class of 13, & 1 S died a couple weeks b4 graduation. School became therapy oriented.#OrEdChat

A3: I did what lined up with my core beliefs. #OrEdChat

BethHouf Jun 11 @ 11:50 PM EDT

A3: The toughest thing ever has been the death of a student. Completely devastating. Tried hard to be strong for Ss and Ts and Ps. #OrEdChat

KathiSueSummers Jun 11 @ 11:50 PM EDT

Question 4. #OrEdChat #LeadLAP #BookSnaps

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 11 @ 11:50 PM EDT

A3. also assigning grades to student writing. It may be their very best work and still only a sentence or two #oredchat

In reply to @KathiSueSummers, @BethHouf

jkjohnsonbell Jun 11 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A4: Build relationships first - "float" ideas for changes with a few before rolling things out. Without trust, change is hard. #OrEdChat

KathiSueSummers Jun 11 @ 11:54 PM EDT

I can't believe the final question is on its way. We have had some great chat tonight. #OrEdChat #LeadLAP #BookSnaps

hmarrs24 - Moderator Jun 11 @ 11:55 PM EDT

Wow KathiSue! These questions are hard to fit into 140 characters!! And still have space for the #OrEdChat

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 11 @ 11:55 PM EDT

A4. We are rotating classrooms to address a sense of order that is confusing. There was lots of teacher push back, so we listened #oredchat

KathiSueSummers Jun 11 @ 11:55 PM EDT

Question 5. #OrEdChat #LeadLAP #BookSnaps

lenbryan25 Jun 11 @ 11:55 PM EDT

A4. Admin needs to pick just one new thing, Ts, Ps, and Ss get easily overwhelmed #oredchat

lenbryan25 Jun 11 @ 11:58 PM EDT

A5: My district needs to become #futureready and take a hard look at if we are truly preparing our Ss for life after graduation. #oredchat
