    Let's get going with with our questions for tonight. We'll be using the Q&A format for the most part. Remember to use the #ruraledchat hashtag.
  • robinhosemann - Moderator Apr 17 @ 8:38 PM EDT
    We apologize for not getting an ad out today with our topic. Life got in the way for our team. @TG_Neil is prepping for an edcamp and @edventures is chaperoning kids on a field trip this week. @nataleestotz and I will help keep things rolling for #ruraledchat tonight :)

    With sheer panic. #ruraledchat
    In reply to @nataleestotz
  • ryleedc22 Apr 17 @ 8:42 PM EDT
    A1: For me personally the children in my room always have enough energy for both of us, they are still excited about learning. We go outside more which is fun and have started learning about things that we couldn't see during the winter. (Trees, flowers, bugs, etc.) #RuralEdChat
  • robinhosemann - Moderator Apr 17 @ 8:42 PM EDT
    So glad! Talking about rolling toward the end of the school year tonight for #ruraledchat Hard to believe we are coming around that bend!

  • KipMotta Apr 17 @ 8:42 PM EDT
    A1 For the staff we have a party to celebrate all of our successes. Each teacher brings one success story to share. For the S's we eliminate all homework except reading. Focus on standards review #RuralEdChat
  • robinhosemann - Moderator Apr 17 @ 8:43 PM EDT

  • SJ_Grubb Apr 17 @ 8:43 PM EDT
    A1) Determination and lots of lists with simple things to cross off quickly and get some momentum (like “return email” :) #ruraledchat

  • KipMotta Apr 17 @ 8:44 PM EDT
    A1 I also like to challenge my staff to think of things wee need to change to improve learning and culture. We are reexamining how we implement RTI. Building time into the day instead of after school RTI. Difficult with small staff #RuralEdChat
  • SJ_Grubb Apr 17 @ 8:45 PM EDT
    A1) Also planning for something new &/or exciting. It’s proposal writing season! #ruraledchat

    Teaching an AP course, so the excitement of the lesson plan freedom that comes in a few weeks, after the test, keeps me powering through #RuralEdChat
  • ajonesmesd Apr 17 @ 8:46 PM EDT
    A1 End of the year field trips, preferably with camping involved and a visit to a college if possible. So fun to watch the kids learn, when they think they are just playing. #RuralEdChat
    In reply to @nataleestotz
  • 937Nathan Apr 17 @ 8:47 PM EDT
    Reminds me of when I ran the Air Force half-marathon. Just one foot in front of another - keep the momentum going! #RuralEdChat

    In reply to @LindaAragoni
  • 937Nathan Apr 17 @ 8:47 PM EDT
    AMEN! The students constantly remind me of why we are all in this! #RuralEdChat
  • robinhosemann - Moderator Apr 17 @ 8:48 PM EDT
    Ah yes! I remember how great it was to have the tests over and done with and some great in-depth studies with more freedom followed. Flashing back to the old high school days! #ruraledchat

    I'm back in grad school and in one of those age brackets. It's funny how the simple stuff helps sustain things. #ruraledchat

  • nataleestotz - Moderator Apr 17 @ 8:51 PM EDT
    Q2: How do you keep your students going when their energy and attitudes start to flag? #RuralEdChat
  • LindaAragoni Apr 17 @ 8:52 PM EDT
    True. Folks with full-time jobs and school just need to laugh or they couldn't cope. #RuralEdChat

  • ryleedc22 Apr 17 @ 8:53 PM EDT
    A2: I keep them going by reminding them summer is on it's way. There's only a few more weeks. I continue to tell them to push themselves because it will pay off wen they're free! #RuralEdChat
  • KipMotta Apr 17 @ 8:54 PM EDT
    A2 I amp up my student interviews. Interviewed 30 S's today and asked about their school year, about their summer plans and talked about their commitment to stay strong to the end #RuralEdChat
  • j6panus Apr 17 @ 8:54 PM EDT
    A2: it’s hard. We keep having snow days! One more yesterday. 10 this year. Our last S day is 6/22. #ruraledchat
    In reply to @nataleestotz
  • SJ_Grubb Apr 17 @ 8:54 PM EDT
    A2Great picture books, 1-1 time, offering my office as quiet space, & centering on reflection to see how much we have grown. #ruraledchat
  • robinhosemann - Moderator Apr 17 @ 8:54 PM EDT
    that's awesome, Kip. 1-1 conversations definitely help with connection and engagement. I don't ever remember that happening with my principals. Very cool! #ruraledchat

    A2) We're doing a lot of review ahead of testing, so it's constantly switching up routine - student lead reviews, Socrative quizzes, review games, mini projects, anything we can other than lecture. #RuralEdChat
  • KipMotta Apr 17 @ 8:57 PM EDT

    How do you do the interviews? catch and question? or more formal? #RuralEdChat

    a pal's whole district is reading his book together. Sounds like a good one. #ruraledchat
    In reply to @KipMotta, @casas_jimmy
  • try_rebooting Apr 17 @ 9:01 PM EDT
    At first, I thought you meant you threaten to eat the Golden Horseshoes, which would probably motivate my (high school) students. "If you all ace this worksheet, I will eat one!" #RuralEdChat
    In reply to @SHuggins67, @nataleestotz
  • nataleestotz - Moderator Apr 17 @ 9:01 PM EDT
    So many great ideas being shared tonight on #RuralEdChat
  • KipMotta Apr 17 @ 9:01 PM EDT
    I walk to the classroom call a S out and walk to the office. I have them sit in my chair and ask questions about their lives. Families, likes, dislikes, then let them ask me anything they want about me #culturize #RuralEdChat
    In reply to @LindaAragoni, @robinhosemann, @casas_jimmy
  • KipMotta Apr 17 @ 9:02 PM EDT
    Big time stuff. Build culture by modeling the actions you want T's, S's and P's to emulate #culturize #RuralEdChat
    In reply to @robinhosemann, @casas_jimmy
  • SHuggins67 Apr 17 @ 9:03 PM EDT
    At least they're made out of paper. I could probably choke down a few. Golden Horseshoes, not students. The kids get to use the Golden Horseshoes in a Colts Corral prize store on Fridays. #ruraledchat

    Q3: What creative lessons or activities are you doing to keep out of a rut? #RuralEdChat
  • KipMotta Apr 17 @ 9:05 PM EDT
    Next step is to get the T's to buy into interviewing students 1 on 1 about their lives outside the school. Build Relationships #culturize #RuralEdChat
    In reply to @robinhosemann, @casas_jimmy
  • robinhosemann - Moderator Apr 17 @ 9:05 PM EDT
    Do the kids know what to expect or do they ever get nervous getting called out of the class? #ruraledchat
    In reply to @KipMotta, @LindaAragoni, @casas_jimmy
  • KipMotta Apr 17 @ 9:06 PM EDT
    Yes and yes. When first started it was "what did I do?" Now it is "I have a question I thought about asking you. Way cool way to change how the S' view you #culturize #RuralEdChat

    I'm sorry I'm not interacting much in the chat too much tonight, it's an awesome chat, but Tweetdcek is keeping me from being able to respond in time. So frustrating! #ruraledchat
  • LindaAragoni Apr 17 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A3 It's been decades since I had a class more than 8 weeks long. Can't remember what teaching yr course was like #RuralEdChat
  • SHuggins67 Apr 17 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A3: Not esp. creative, but definitely pleasurable & motivational: Reading4Pleasure. Find a spot in the room, maybe turn a chair over 2 use as a backrest. Pick a book based solely on personal choice. Maybe go solo or find a partner. Put on instrumental jazz. Enjoy. #ruraledchat
