  • SharonGF_NBCT Oct 18 @ 11:14 PM EDT
    We struggle to find our voice in a meaningful way. Hard 2 lead from our classrooms with lots on our plates. #utedchat
  • Irodenbough Oct 18 @ 11:14 PM EDT
    A2. Lack of respect from society, Too much to do with too little time to do it.#utedchat
  • DeborahGatrell1 Oct 18 @ 11:14 PM EDT
    A2: We just don't have enough time to do the job right! Effective supports are often sorely lacking for new and veteran teachers. #utedchat
  • leighnakker Oct 18 @ 11:14 PM EDT
    Lack of multiple teacher leader pathways. The day of the teacher in the classroom for 30 years is over. Teachers need more. #UTEdChat
  • coachbpreece Oct 18 @ 11:14 PM EDT
    #utedchat The job of teaching is way burdensome these days. Lots of policies, paperwork, etc. This needs to be fixed.
  • DaniKSloan Oct 18 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    A2: Teachers get burnt out - not enough planning time, PD, or support. Great teams and mentors help! #utedchat
  • Chemteach201 Oct 18 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    A2. Check-boxer, easy, everyone. Sadly our appr system here became such a joke. A really HET=student focused, reflective, example. #UTEdchat
  • lars3eb - Moderator Oct 18 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    A1 Professional, capable, hard-working. Kinda cheated on that last "one" but it has a hyphen so it's okay! #UTedChat
  • YoungUTed Oct 18 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    A2 Teaching requires commitment above and beyond a typical “job”. These are our kids. #utedchat
  • bridget_varner Oct 18 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    The stress of the work load! #utedchat
  • DebbieSciTech Oct 18 @ 11:15 PM EDT

    A1: Passionate, Patient, Devoted #UTedChat
  • jedikermit Oct 18 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    A2 ...part is perception of teaching as "less than" other professions. I tell someone I'm a teacher, and there's a pitying look. #UTedchat
  • btalonia Oct 18 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    A2: Burn out! It's not intentional most of the time but we just put too much on teachers plate without the necessary resources. #UTedChat
  • misterlarsen Oct 18 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    A2: Lack of autonomy, support, and professional development. Teacher want to be good at what they do. #utedchat
  • vb_kristin Oct 18 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    A2 Ts often feel they don't have a voice. Hard to progress in the profession and stay in classroom. #UTEdChat #TLUtah @HSG_UT

  • educationjessie Oct 18 @ 11:16 PM EDT
    A2: the social environment of Utah and the way that some educators are treated. #utedchat
  • saammm_h Oct 18 @ 11:16 PM EDT
    A2 Teachers forget why they started teaching in the first place. They become overwhelmed with all of the duties thrown at them. #utedchat
  • marrica5 Oct 18 @ 11:16 PM EDT
    A2: Teachers are asked to do more, be more, and change, but aren't given the time and support to be all they are asked to be. #UTEdchat
  • rogers_machelle Oct 18 @ 11:16 PM EDT
    A2 #utedchat Teaching is exhausting and end results are often not seen or not seen until far distant future. That's hard for some.
  • hjones3000 Oct 18 @ 11:16 PM EDT
    A2: Ts don't have a voice. If we did, everyone would know how amazing we are! Instead there are misunderstandings in our culture #UTedChat

    I always hear an audible record scratch followed by crickets. #utedchat
    In reply to @jedikermit
  • misteralvord Oct 18 @ 11:16 PM EDT
    A2 Non-tested subjects are ignored. Too many red-headed step children. There is more to education than science math and ELA. #UTedchat
  • UtahTOY2014 Oct 18 @ 11:16 PM EDT
    How can we change this? How can we gain that voice? #UTEdChat

    In reply to @DaniKSloan
  • jedikermit Oct 18 @ 11:17 PM EDT
    A2 that perception is cultivated by emphasis on business over education; It's a difficult decision to go into ed over business. #UTedchat
