    A1: One way to meet the needs of every learner in your class is by building relationships and knowing them deeply as a human and as a learner. Identifying strengths and needs. Plan for it, envision it, talk it out with the student. Feedback. #whatisschool

  • ThirstyBeesNY Oct 25 @ 7:15 PM EDT
    A1: I'm not sure I ever fully met that challenge. But, for me, it's all about the students' needs first - which may not necessarily be met with a "lesson." It's the needs of the heart that matter most. If I'm successful with that, the academics will follow. #whatisschool
  • gilmour_mike Oct 25 @ 7:15 PM EDT
    A1: establishing rapport with each student is a priority, then clearly understanding learning outcomes enables you to differentiate appropriately #WhatIsSchool
  • parcher_gabby Oct 25 @ 7:15 PM EDT
    A1: One thing that I would personally do in this situation would be setting up a lesson that is tailored to all different learning types. For example: you could have a mini lesson and then centers set up for a more hands on way to learn! @barbersclass #barbersclass #whatisschool

  • msjosephsci Oct 25 @ 7:20 PM EDT
    A2: This is hard. Being a parent has helped & practicing meditation& mindfulness also has helped me. Being present allows me to be fully/more engaged so I am able to be my best self, and when I;m not, own my mistakes and humanness helps the Ss practice patience. #WhatIsSchool

    #whatisschool a1 Trying to simultaneously meet all chalkenges is like sprinting, when this is a marathon. Using peer support moves things along, plus mini 1 minute video to unpack language. Ss will watch 5 to 12 times, then clarify/ reflect. #languagelearning
  • raspberryberet3 Oct 25 @ 7:20 PM EDT
    A2: if you to build those relationships and know what Ss body language, facial expressions, words are telling you. That will tell you how you should respond - be proactive not reactive. Lessons can wait b/c they won't learn if they are upset. 1/1 #whatisschool

  • raspberryberet3 Oct 25 @ 7:24 PM EDT

    A3: Hard, no, but not fun is that of disciplinarian. I don't enjoy doing it but know it's part of the job. I also don't like the hat of "grader" because there's so much more to them than a #, but I love to wear the hat offeedback giver. #WhatIsSchool

  • CRCarter313 Oct 25 @ 7:43 PM EDT

  • pdelrosario17 Oct 25 @ 7:43 PM EDT

    I felt myself getting exasperated this afternoon, and then pulled out an accent. We finished the math I had planned, and had time to learn some more nursery rhymes before dismissal. I love how laughter saved me from frustration today. #WhatIsSchool And the kids kept learning:)
