    A2) I think it is a voice of seriousness and to the point. Often times people dance around a topic. But the respectable teacher voice doesn't have time for that. Straight and to the point in an all too polite fashion. It is good when with respect. #oklaed

    In reply to @ebarnes73
  • djthoreson Apr 8 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A2: It is both good and bad. It usually means when I've raised my voice enough and it turns quiet but deadly - everyone knows that's serious. It's like a Mom voice, so everyone understands. #oklaed

    A2) Depends on the context of why it is being said. Usually, it is often bad because it assumes a loud voice. However, it can be a reference to a teaching voice or clear communication on a topic. #oklaed

    A1. The “Teacher Voice” is when the smile is gone, the tone and speed of delivery drops, and solid eye contact is made so that there is no surstion about the seriousness of what you are saying. Legislators need to hear this rather than screaming and ranting. #Oklaed

    A9: I think I may have not known there was a difference, but I am at peace with how I talk to and educate my Ss. Rule 1: Dont raise your voice, unless to get attention Rule2: Dont talk down to anyone Rule 3: Be the Church :-) Rule 4: No cussing...see rule 3 #oklaed
    • vperezy Apr 8 @ 9:43 PM EDT
      Q9 If you feel there is a conflict or recognize there is a conflict for others between personal voice and teacher voice, how do you make peace with it? What rules do you set for yourself? What rules are set for you? #oklaed
  • MrsSearcy112 Apr 8 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    Agreed. I try to model the PROCESS of how to become critically informed by critically reading/writing, but I don’t necessarily focus on the PRODUCT= my opinion. #oklaed

    Teacher voice is important - but not to the extent that it places one perosn above another. That should never be promoted by anyone. We are all of us in this together. https://t.co/oQVLEhEyuP! #oklaed

    Teachers should always use their voice to speak out for those who are marginalized or othered. See my previous tweet. #Oklaed
  • OB1_Knabe Apr 8 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    A9: I am aware of my own discomfort surrounding talking about certain issues in certain spheres, so it’s not difficult to make peace with others’ discomfort with doing the same. #oklaed

    #OklaEd A9: “Making peace” is all too often code for ‘finding some way’ to ignoring / trying to bury differences. Better to dialogue openly to seek, again, that better alternative - or at least understand everyone better, enabling all to agree to disagree.

    A10) Good grief! Be smart and try to stay off of local and national news broadcasts. Use appropriate readings of fiction and nonfiction. Educate yourself. #oklaed
    • vperezy Apr 8 @ 9:50 PM EDT
      Q10 Read the two stories linked below. How do either or both stories impact your opinion on the use of teacher voice? #oklaed

    Where is the other story? I only see the NBC one. Good question. Let me ponder. #oklaed

    This is the current struggle for everyone - how do we teach media literacy? We can have different points of view, but the definition of what a fact is has changed for the worse recently...#oklaed

    A9 Rules: Set by me: I keep some things always to myself. Set by others: This is tough. We don’t always know where those lines are until we cross them. #oklaed
  • djthoreson Apr 8 @ 9:58 PM EDT
    Absolutely! They are hesitant at first because they've never been told they can tell a teacher they're wrong, but it's a great way to practice responding without getting upset. It definitely takes practice... #oklaed

    How am I just now seeing this? #oklaed
    • djthoreson Apr 8 @ 9:42 PM EDT
      A8: We create projects instead of assignments and grade on voice, clarity, and organization instead of merely correctness. And we allow Ss to play devils' advocate to us after we model it with them. #oklaed
  • DonleyVicki Apr 8 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    Thanks, Vanessa. #oklaed
  • j_mahgninnuc Apr 8 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    My teacher voice and my personal voice are conflicted over the lack of action or weak stances of some districts. I am proud of Central High who said they were supporting the teachers and OEA and not waffleing. A hardship now will pay off big for future students #oklaed
