  • TrPatel20 Nov 14 @ 10:41 PM EST

  • AshleyMSJC5 Nov 14 @ 10:43 PM EST
    A1b: Two ways: through the example you set in class & around school. Also, teachers should repeatedly verbalize these traits to Ss #IEedchat
  • peacockbruin Nov 14 @ 10:43 PM EST
    True. Depends on the "occasion." Some still focused on "what's in it for me?" #ieedchat

    Q2 How can we model and teach students to be heroes and role models to their peers? #IEedchat
  • TrPatel20 Nov 14 @ 10:44 PM EST
    and they can only prove it's real worth when they've taken that risk!!#ieedchat
    In reply to @rguztec

    A2b: Fri. btwn 2 Ss, one commented the other misbehaved last year, his response was 'well, not any more', it was brave & inspiring #IEedchat
  • TrPatel20 Nov 14 @ 10:52 PM EST
    A2b) when a student went out of their way to solve a problem for another student... it just solving it but showing them how #ieedchat
  • mark_synnott Nov 14 @ 10:52 PM EST
    A3: We should start giving Student of the Month awards for each class period. Ss would be selected silently by their peers. #IEedchat

    A1: Heroes are usually fearless. They take risks and challenge the status quo in order to move forward. #ieedchat
  • ProgresivTeachr Nov 14 @ 10:53 PM EST
    A2) The question answers it, MODEL the behavior you want to see in the students. This is hard for all educators. #ieedchat
  • EdTechTV Nov 14 @ 10:53 PM EST
    A3) Encourage them to feel empowered in their heroism. Many people get shut down for taking a chance. #IEedchat
  • peacockbruin Nov 14 @ 10:53 PM EST
    A3 Kindness makes us heroes. These are the next campaigns for my Panther STARs. Love these heroes. #IEedchat

  • rguztec Nov 14 @ 10:54 PM EST

  • KazJESL Nov 14 @ 10:54 PM EST
    a0: I teach ESL for higher ed. My fav. hero is Darth Vader in case you couldn't tell by my profile pic. 😜#ieedchat
  • gmcwhorterVVUSD Nov 14 @ 10:54 PM EST
    Addendum 1: Ss need exposure to the right kind of heroes; Anne Frank, Jonas Salk, etc. Ts may be their only gateway to such heroes #ieedchat
  • peacockbruin Nov 14 @ 10:55 PM EST
    Even if they aren't fearless, they don't let the fear stop them from saving the day! #ieedchat

  • ProgresivTeachr Nov 14 @ 10:56 PM EST
    A3) I have a "Boomerang Wall" where Ss write positive actions they see within the school, including the S's name that made the act #ieedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Nov 14 @ 10:56 PM EST
    A3: Formalized programs for recognizing Ss take a lot of effort but they are worth it. Don't let a heroic act go unacknowledged. #IEedchat
  • judykaylane Nov 14 @ 10:56 PM EST
    A3: don't miss the opportunity to validate heroes everyday, the small things can be really big--so make a big deal about it #IEedchat
  • Ixy_pixy Nov 14 @ 10:56 PM EST
    A3: Ask Ss to share their superhero and write about them. Superheroes come in all shapes and sizes. And in many forms. #ieedchat
  • peacockbruin Nov 14 @ 10:56 PM EST
    Q3b What do you do to celebrate heroes in your classroom, school, or district? #IEedchat

  • judykaylane Nov 14 @ 10:58 PM EST
    A#: we have Patriot Act Award Cards, simple incentives, easy way to acknowledge goodness #IEedchat
  • ProgresivTeachr Nov 14 @ 10:58 PM EST
    I think it's important to emphasize being a hero can simply be saying, "Hi" and "How are you? @peacockbruin @Ixy_pixy #IEedchat
    In reply to @peacockbruin, @Ixy_pixy
  • MathButler Nov 14 @ 10:58 PM EST
    A3: Acknowledge Actions of Ss. Be specific. Celebrate action(s) from any S that are heroic, not just the "good" Ss. #IEedchat
  • peacockbruin Nov 14 @ 10:58 PM EST
    A3b Panther Dollars for good things. Recognize the positive to help eliminate the negative. #IEedchat
