A4 my kinders like when I sing them in w "Tony Chestnut" :)
A5: Some days you eat the bear, and some days the bear eats you..

Awesome answer! https://t.co/3oKOqWebLU
A5) I rebound from a bad day by taking the focus off me and serving others. Sometimes seeing someone smile is all you need
Because this PLN keeps me going. https://t.co/Y6SaWkqqxO
When you have a bad day always remember the worlds #1 PLN is
A5) Talk it out with fellow Ts, let it go, know that tomorrow is a new day! Sometimes drinking and playing with my dog helps!
I have done a complete re-writes of lessons - sometimes you just aren’t good and need to get better.
things we already knew...
A5: 2/2 Also music again, 90s grunge is always good, find your childhood & remember why you do this https://t.co/7ZVf0JheiH

Agree, Kathy. Ss and Ps also appreciate the support
Have to find out more about the references in your answers!!!

glad to be here!😉 it's pretty fun!
A4: Theme music goes with what my Ss are learning or reading about in class. Classical, 80's music, Rock and Roll, Jazz, or Pop.
This is why all teachers should blog - we need to see/share each others stories!
https://t.co/aimkotIpUb
a5 also, sometimes I read bloggers. Helps to know that others are out there, fighting the same fight.
A6. Being a teacher and a student at the same time. But it gives me empathy & purpose. Most of the time my learning becomes theirs.
I just got back from an escape to the woods. I can see why you want to make a career there!
would that be caffeinated pop???? ;)
teaching ELL and GT because the amt of paperwork is endless
A6: Balancing my work/ M.Ed homework with my kids' homework/sports and family time
A6: Responsibility vs Self-Care. Lunches skipped? Walks put off? Bathroom breaks delayed? All for Ss...
A6 self care - helping others fuels my soul but I let my mind/ body get worn down. Learning healthy boundaries.
Yes! I am a teacher and a student. Makes me so much more aware of the issues that Ss may have. https://t.co/nZO0ppRiTo
A6. Being a teacher and a student at the same time. But it gives me empathy & purpose. Most of the time my learning becomes theirs.
A6: Def. structure vs flexibility, constant battle for me, my strengths are also my weaknesses
A6: Taking care of myself. I love what I do and it is important, sometimes I push myself to the brink.
A6) I think that I sometimes struggled with self care-its hard to look after yourself when trying to care Ss https://t.co/PUBm7Fl0ee
A6 teaching my Ss, not just for a BS test, but for life. Doing what is best for them wins out
I wanna hang out in a RATM room!
A6: Always a balancing act being a parent and trying to change the world!
A6 It has to be responsibility vs. self-care. Most educators forget to put on their own oxygen mask first. https://t.co/Ft8BlFeGhX
A6 Toughest balancing act - knowing when to push for change vs. when to trust the process
A6:Toughest part of my day is knowing when to shut it down and going home to family
A6: trying to actually educate vs. doing what's required/expected: grades/EOI's/etc. I just want to help make better people.
Agree, Joy. The "keep learning" piece is essential as we engage in
A6: I know I need to push Pause more than Fast Forward! Also monitor my teammates use of the Pause button.
A6: the balance of pushing too hard without insuring there is enough capacity to get the project complete https://t.co/bJaVB9WzCf
A6) venting v. Staying positive. It's a constant battle. I want to feed the positive wolf!
a6 test prep v what I want to teach/what kids want to learn. Focusing on the kids v outside drama. It's a tough balance.
A6: 1/2 Knowing what S's need & expect, knowing my fellow T's & P's desire but seeing the cultural apathy https://t.co/mGkGNA2Rcx
A6: Confront v Accept - status quo. Are "they" (Ss, Ts, Ps) ready for what I have in mind. Reminder to self: baby steps
Love this - as a society we have a wrong headed view of failure.
A6 --Found there were some colleagues I needed 2 avoid in order to keep my own attitude positive. Spent lots of time in room. W kids
I also think that this is a major struggle for all music Ts especially!
A6: Flipped or regular classes (if I were in a classroom today)!!!
a6: Action vs inaction Sometimes it is so much easier to let things pass or just stick with status quo. takes confidence to act
A6) Getting out of the office and visiting schools. Admin offices are like quicksand to admin once you get in hard to get out
A6 Structure vs flexibility! I can't stand it when one class doesn't get as far as the others, however, don't want to miss moments!
A6) Taking care of myself! I've had 2 foot surgeries this year, and students still tell me to get off my feet and sit down!
A6 balancing mngmnt tasks w/the leadership tasks I really want to do! I love being in the class w/ the kids & watching gr8 Ts work!
A6: Student-led vs. Teacher-led, Seniors need some structure, but they need that independent work to get ready for college.
A6: I have to remind myself to stay positive. Nobody wants to hear constant negativity. So I distance myself from that.
Great point! I probably need to learn this lesson too. There are definitely some negative people out there...
A6: With some others on that teaching-while-a-master's student, also feeling that I miss some kids' needs in a room of 25+
A6: Balancing passion for job/service v passion for family
A6: Definitely working in "me time"; continual work in progress
a6 also, keeping up with the everyday tasks while reflecting and expanding my own knowledge. Wish I had time to go back to school!
And not even negative people...just folks who didn't help me grow & be the teacher I needed to be.
This is definitely a balancing act for me too. https://t.co/bI4GhHn81t
A6: Balancing passion for job/service v passion for family

That's a perfect song for you, Sir!
A6 Responsibilty vs Self-care Bathroom breaks aside, I wld like just a bit of time away fr/ ancillary during the day to chill a min
A6: but also I agree with Policy vs. Authenticity. Don't get bogged down in policy. don't be afraid to branch out.
I feel your struggle bus here - sabotaged myself a time or two… marathon not sprint.
A6) test prep vs real world life skills. Kids need both but at the end of the day: kids need us!!
-- You both are awesome leaders...We appreciate you!
This is true, Robert. Leaders balance this task daily. Requires interpersonal skills in developing our people
A7 Hakuna Matata - It means no worries... I seriously need to internalize this!

A8) I've tried to shut up and listen with a purpose. Hard for me to do. I've always listened only to respond.
