Runners who push through the difficult miles occasionally experience a "runners high". Is there such a thing as a "teachers high"? What experiences bring it about? #bfc530

Sure, all kinds! Finishing comment notes Sunday night, then not having a ton of emails after they were posted Monday. Things clicking for a struggling S. When students know why we're doing something BEFORE I tell them! #bfc530

Moments when it "clicks"! Most recently when a student told me her genius hour project was the hardest thing she ever worked on but simultaneously was her favorite school project that she always looked forward to doing. #bfc530

Seeing a student when the light bulb goes off, watching Ss dive into a problem with curiosity, getting a different perspective from Ss because they thought about my question and discovered something new and amazing. #bfc530

Good morning #bfc530. Sarah from gym in VA. I think there is...I was on a 2 week bender when I did my “teacher bucket list” in November 2015 as I prepared to transition to a new role lol. Wish I had been living in bucket list mode all along.

I bore witness to this last week at our third annual experimental film festival. The event was a combo of passion, risk-taking and growth mindset. Thanks @mrtwhalen!

When former students come back to tell you how much a specific skill/strategy taught has helped them in university &/or the real world. Then we know the work has gone full circle #bfc530#tlcbbs#teacherjoy
Yup , I had an observation this year with a brand new lesson. It wen so well I almost lost points from Admin. because my reflection was I wouldn't change anything ! #bfc530
Last yr I was drowning it felt. This year my Ss finally trust me and have "let me in" I can't tell you how that feels... it's a high like nothing I've known. I remind myself on tough days. #bfc530
#bfc530 When a former student corrected my verb choice... lol! That Shades of Meaning lesson must have been a success -It just took a few years to really sink in. I did an internal happy dance. ❤😁❤

Each time you engage with a student, or anyone for that matter, and it is clear that both of you have a great deal of respect, trust and appreciation for each other. #peoplematter#bfc530

#bfc530 When I connect to other #teachers who make me feel that I matter within my school, I feel as though there is nothing I cannot do #collaboration
In science sometimes I build hypothetical stories and start giving students roles. Then i throw questions at them about how they would act in the role. Always gives me a buzz #bfc530

#bfc530 One day, I was reading a short story to my #students, and they wouldn't let the next class come in until I finished. When you can remind #students of the joy of #reading, you feel like you've done your job as a #teacher

#bfc530 walking through my building everyday I see my Ts already working with Ss as buses are unloading and we wait for the 8:25 they're working together!

#bfc530 "Teachers high" to me is when all the internal assessments are packed and parceled away to the IB every Feb. A sense of completion and joy for both me and the Ss. "Learners high" I guess.
It actually happened. Twitter has moved the tweet limit up to 280 characters. I hope that the awesome members of our PLNs will now be able to share deeper thoughts, bigger ideas, and richer feedback. #MakeItReal#tlap#learnlap#bfc530#edchat#leadlap#mtbos#ECET2#njed
A: When the mini lesson and workshop is running so well I am not needed. Love watching confidant Ss dig into something they at passionate about. #bfc530

You know it's going to be a great day when you connect with brilliant educators and their energy for learning at 5:30 in the morning! ❤ Happy Wednesday! #bfc530
Thanks, @mathdenisNJ, #HackLearning author and math guru, for sharing this news, which is a long time coming. I'm going to give the new 280 a test drive. #bfc530

Seeing Ss struggle & overcoming that struggle gives me the high. Seeing students become passionate about their own education & becoming better ppl gives me the "teachers high" #whyiteach#bfc530

Morning, #bfc530. My teacher's high feels akin to when young bike rider rolls away freely, no longer needing training wheels, leaving me in dust, smiling.
Teacher’s high: when a student gets it. When a student finds joy in learning. When a student makes a friend. When a student smiles. When a student takes initiative. When a student asks 4 more ind reading, writing, math stations. And more. It’s pure joy for teachers. #bfc530
