A1 I find myself answering "blurters" and kids who get up out of their seat and approach me even though this drives me crazy. #MTedchat

I struggled with that too. It's hard not to ignore the "squeaky wheel" #mtedchat

BLT2411 Sep 26 @ 10:13 PM EDT

Learning to ignore behaviors that take my attention away from Ss there to learn #mtedchat

Q3: When seeking resources and support when faced with challenges, where do you look; who do you ask? #MTedchat
NVradenburg - Moderator Sep 26 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A3 I find myself reaching out to other Ts, those nearby and on Twitter #mtedchat
AmandaRapstad Sep 26 @ 10:27 PM EDT

Usually Twitter and my #MTedchat people. I have a handful of friends that live all over that I've met through the years that I rely on too
BLT2411 Sep 26 @ 10:33 PM EDT

A3 Mentors, Twitter has become a source in the last year, colleagues, texts/articles, observations of others #mtedchat
AmandaRapstad Sep 26 @ 10:34 PM EDT

I don't know what I'd do without Twitter! @BLT2411 #mtedchat

Observing other Ts is powerful! It would be great if everyone could do that more often #mtedchat

Q4: Does your school, team, or system have a system or structure you utilize for consistency. Rate 1-4 on effectiveness #MTedchat
BLT2411 Sep 26 @ 10:38 PM EDT

A4) MBI model at my previous school; countdown from five, chant replies, looks like/sounds like #mtedchat
NVradenburg - Moderator Sep 26 @ 10:41 PM EDT

A4 I kept schedule posted, gave warnings for transitions, used consistent signals, allowed for flexibility when needed #mtedchat
AmandaRapstad Sep 26 @ 10:43 PM EDT

A4 we have common expectations for the school. I think it's a good framework and then I go more in depth in my classroom #MTedchat
NVradenburg - Moderator Sep 26 @ 10:44 PM EDT

A4again I see the MBI common language and posted expectations in the schools I visit each day. Great strategies. #mtedchat
NVradenburg - Moderator Sep 26 @ 10:45 PM EDT

Q5: Can classroom management be achieved without an established ‘system’. What would this look like? #MTedchat
AmandaRapstad Sep 26 @ 10:46 PM EDT

A4 I personally use capturing kids hearts within my classroom which can fit with MBI. Kids made social contract to create buy in #mtedchat
BLT2411 Sep 26 @ 10:47 PM EDT

A5) establishing relationships with the students. #mtedchat
NVradenburg - Moderator Sep 26 @ 10:48 PM EDT

A5 I never used any one system. Relationships, staying true to procedures and flexibility were my go-to strategies. #mtedchat
AmandaRapstad Sep 26 @ 10:52 PM EDT

A5 I think you might have a framework or philosophy you follow but every class and year is different so you might have to change #mtedchat
NVradenburg - Moderator Sep 26 @ 10:55 PM EDT

Q6: How can we best support new teachers& teacher candidates for meeting the needs of learners in regards to classroom management? #MTedchat
