Hi #IDedchat PLN! It’s 8:00 and Wednesday! Time for our weekly chat-since it is the night before Thanksgiving, it will be short, but I felt we need to have some time together!

Q1: Why should we take the time to focus on gratitude? #IDedchat
averyteach - Moderator Nov 21 @ 10:07 PM EST

Things are great! I currently have all my family around me ☺️My daughter is home from college, and my son is sitting beside me and drawing! #IDedchat

We need to focus on gratitude to remind ourselves why we do what we do. #idedchat
WinkelerD Nov 21 @ 10:08 PM EST

A1: It helps put things in perspective. #idedchat
averyteach - Moderator Nov 21 @ 10:08 PM EST

A1: What you focus on helps determine your attitude. If we have an “attitude of gratitude “ we can see the things that are possible! #IDedchat
averyteach - Moderator Nov 21 @ 10:09 PM EST

Absolutely! Perspective becomes our reality! #IDedchat

A2: I am grateful for our teachers who did hard work of deciding on “commitments” The professionalism and silliness added to the air of collaboration! #idedchat
WinkelerD Nov 21 @ 10:14 PM EST

What sort of "commitments" did they make if I may ask? #idedchat

We started Essential Standard work last year-now they are deciding which ES they will focus on and the CFA they will use to collect data for learner driven decision making. #IDedchat

Q3: We all have times that are “low” and can pull us into a “funk.” How do you reset your focus to one of gratitude? #idedchat
averyteach - Moderator Nov 21 @ 10:19 PM EST

A3: One way I do a “reset” is to reconnect with my PLN on Twitter! #idedchat
WinkelerD Nov 21 @ 10:20 PM EST

A3: I usually disconnect from work and "unplug" to reset my focus. This kid helps me reset every night. #idedchat
