I know people who won't shop at stores without a self checkout. We can't be stuck on the way we've always done things. #TXed #TeacherMyth

Or how they would feel if their students refused to try anything new...Learning wouldn't go far. Most learning is new for students. #txed

A5 When educators tell me they won't change, I ask how they'd feel if their students saw a clip of them refusing to grow & learn. #TXed

A6I greet my students every morning with a smile by name. Taking the time to slow down so I can put relationships over everything else #TXed

aaron_hogan Aug 2 @ 10:13 PM EDT

My experience is that more groups fail than make it, but you just need a few to work to find the folks you need. #TXed #TeacherMyth

A6) Start by GETTING TO KNOW THE CHILDREN'S NAMES. You'll never convince students you care if you prove that you don't even know them. #TXed
