@tracyacramer Welcome, Tracy! I’m glad you could join us tonight. #mtedchat

mrstbauerly Jan 5 @ 10:06 PM EST

A1: I don't usually set resolutions this year because I know I'm bad at the follow through. #MTedchat

StantonShelly Jan 5 @ 10:06 PM EST

A1. I don't, yet I encourage students & peers too! I have so many goals that I can't add another on a date #mtedchat

tracyacramer Jan 5 @ 10:07 PM EST

#mtedchat I don't set resolutions I rather set goals...reading #HappinessProject and setting monthly goals 2 get better :)

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:07 PM EST

A1 I set really good intentions. @cristama #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:07 PM EST

A1: Don’t set a resolution, but I often try new things around this time of year. Last year’s new thing has me addicted to bootcamp #MTedchat

cristama - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:07 PM EST

RT @SteveWyborney A1 I set really good intentions. @cristama #mtedchat (I LOVE this! So do I!!)

mtkristigaines Jan 5 @ 10:07 PM EST

A1: I quit because I'd set so many I'd overwhelm myself. Aiming for goals with more focused intention. #MTedchat

Mr_Olsen_Says Jan 5 @ 10:08 PM EST

A1: Used to. Been studying process goals vs. end result goals. Becoming process-focused really effects results in a positive way. #MTedchat

@cristama Thank goodness I'm not alone! #mtedchat

mrstbauerly Jan 5 @ 10:08 PM EST

I did come up with my #oneword2016 though, I think that will be much better than a resolution for me! #MTedchat

cbartow Jan 5 @ 10:09 PM EST

Colet, Helena, Catching Up, Resolving to Check in More Often in 2016! #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:09 PM EST

tracyacramer Jan 5 @ 10:09 PM EST

@mrstbauerly my #oneword last yr was imagine and this year I chose #happy much easier to stick with then a resolution #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:09 PM EST

@NVradenburg Welcome, Nikki! Did you periscope today? I was going to after lunch and got side tracked :( #mtedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:09 PM EST

A1 Part of the power of this opportunity is the intentional reflect time it provides. It gets the wheels turning toward imp. ideas #mtedchat

ryanhannahoe Jan 5 @ 10:10 PM EST

A1: I always seem to try something new this time of year. The Holidays are a great time for reflection. #MTEdChat

hoffer_d Jan 5 @ 10:10 PM EST

A1-no resolution for me, but trying to come up w/ my #oneword2016 #mtedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:10 PM EST

A i have set them in the past but no this year. I couldn’t think of anything #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:10 PM EST

cbartow Jan 5 @ 10:10 PM EST

A1 Definitely starting to think about the start of the next school year and what needs to change, remain, go away #mtedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:11 PM EST

@TriSciCurious Ha! No! I totally forgot! Tomorrow! #mtedchat

hoffer_d Jan 5 @ 10:11 PM EST

@mrstbauerly Trying to come up with my #oneword2016! #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:11 PM EST

@NVradenburg Okay, the challenge is on! ;) #mtedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:11 PM EST

@NVradenburg How about to inspire at NCCE. I think you've already pre-accomplished that one! #mtedchat

cwdexter Jan 5 @ 10:12 PM EST

A1: Usually don't. Like to try new things whenever I can/need to. #mtedchat

Mr_Olsen_Says Jan 5 @ 10:13 PM EST

@NVradenburg @TriSciCurious What if today's periscope was the big one though? #MTedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:13 PM EST

@cwdexter Welcome, Chris! #mtedchat

cristama - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:13 PM EST

A1: I don't do resolutions so much, as I set goals... Goals allow me to adjust to my trajectory as I go. #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:14 PM EST

@jhenze44 Welcome, Jess! Good to see you both in-person and virtually today! #mtedchat

jhenze44 Jan 5 @ 10:14 PM EST

A1. Nope. Resolutions don't stick for me. I need to have the right frame of mind, this isn't usually the right time! #mtedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:14 PM EST

@NVradenburg I am coming to your room 110% ready to learn! Can't wait! #mtedchat

Q2: Name two things you do well and will continue to do this next year. #MTedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:15 PM EST

@jhenze44 I agree. The start of the school year seems like a better time for school resolutions. #mtedchat

Mr_Olsen_Says Jan 5 @ 10:15 PM EST

@jhenze44 If I was you, I'd so have "Mentor to the 2016 MT Teacher of the Year" in my Twitter bio ... @TriSciCurious #MTedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:15 PM EST

@Mr_Olsen_Says @TriSciCurious NO Casey tomorrow will be the big one…I knew it all along…:) #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:16 PM EST

@Mr_Olsen_Says @jhenze44 Haha, totally! Love this! #MTedchat

cbartow Jan 5 @ 10:16 PM EST

A2: Share and Teach. Need to do more of both in 2016 #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:16 PM EST

@NVradenburg @Mr_Olsen_Says We both did it on purpose. We have “awesome” up our sleeves for tomorrow! #mtedchat

mrstbauerly Jan 5 @ 10:17 PM EST

A2: Learning more about & doing GAFE training and creating opportunities for students to explore, create & learn. #MTedchat

jhenze44 Jan 5 @ 10:17 PM EST

@NVradenburg absolutely! #mtedchat

cwdexter Jan 5 @ 10:18 PM EST

ryanhannahoe Jan 5 @ 10:20 PM EST

A2: 1) Teach #Science and 2) Seek out grants and professional development opportunities for other #Montana educators #MTEdChat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:20 PM EST

A2 I still want to learn more about how to blog. I have a feeling I'm just scratching the surface. Such a great chance to learn! #mtedchat

hoffer_d Jan 5 @ 10:20 PM EST

A2-High EQ and being able to see & understand multiple perspectives #mtedchat

mrstbauerly Jan 5 @ 10:20 PM EST

@SteveWyborney I just started mine this past weekend, I'm really excited about the possibilities! #MTedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:21 PM EST

@ryanhannahoe You’re most definitely good at the latter! Not that you are good at #1…but you’re really good at #2 ;) #MTedchat

jhenze44 Jan 5 @ 10:21 PM EST

@ryanhannahoe you are like the KING of grants! #mtedchat

tracyacramer Jan 5 @ 10:21 PM EST

@NVradenburg Nikki you are singing my song. I teach a K1 and yikes...messy loud giggles screeches learning and PATIENCE!!! #mtedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:21 PM EST

@jhenze44 That probably makes the originator feel good to know you've improved upon the idea! #mtedchat

jhenze44 Jan 5 @ 10:22 PM EST

@SteveWyborney I find that I can't get into blogging due to feelings of inadequacy. #mtedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:22 PM EST

@mrstbauerly Nice going, Teri! You are on a great journey. I'm trying to ward off "perfect posts" in favor of finishing posts. #mtedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:23 PM EST

@tracyacramer I know right!? So much fun though. Most days I don’t have to try too hard to be patient. #mtedchat

jhenze44 Jan 5 @ 10:23 PM EST

@SteveWyborney do you follow @pernilleripp she has an A-MAZE-ING blog! #mtedchat

hoffer_d Jan 5 @ 10:23 PM EST

@SteveWyborney @jhenze44 Don't they say imitation is the greatest form of flattery? 😀 #mtedchat

cbartow Jan 5 @ 10:23 PM EST

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:24 PM EST

So @cristama, I think @mrstbauerly just help me toward a great reflection for the year: Finish posts, don't try to perfect them. #mtedchat

mrstbauerly Jan 5 @ 10:24 PM EST

@SteveWyborney @cristama WOOHOO! I'll keep that reflection in mind when I blog too #MTedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:25 PM EST

@SteveWyborney @cristama @mrstbauerly I really believe this. As long as you are reflecting and growing, that’s all that matters. #mtedchat

walkchrysj Jan 5 @ 10:25 PM EST

@hoffer_d Like this, Desiree. Listening to and understanding multiple perspectives increases our capacity 2 do great things for Ss #mtedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:25 PM EST

@jhenze44 Hitting the publish button for the first time can be a little like the first tweet. #mtedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:25 PM EST

@jhenze44 I often write posts that I realize are just for me, so I don't post them. Sometimes I share several in a row. #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:25 PM EST

@walkchrysj @hoffer_d Welcome, Chrys! #mtedchat

mrstbauerly Jan 5 @ 10:25 PM EST

A3: I would like to stop complaining! Sometimes I see the negative & start complaining even though I know it doesn't help!! #MTedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:26 PM EST

@mrstbauerly @cristama It's a deal! #mtedchat

cwdexter Jan 5 @ 10:26 PM EST

A3: Being such a perfectionist! I need to relax a little. #mtedchat

jhenze44 Jan 5 @ 10:26 PM EST

A3- procrastinating. I just get so overwhelmed by stacks of work to grade. #mtedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:26 PM EST

@TriSciCurious @cristama @mrstbauerly I agree! #mtedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:26 PM EST

A3 I skimp on weekly lesson plans & “intend” to add to them as the week goes on but don’t. I need to put more work in “up front” #mtedchat

cbartow Jan 5 @ 10:27 PM EST

A3 Hmmm. Stop letting the machine get me down and just forge ahead! #mtedchat

mrstbauerly Jan 5 @ 10:27 PM EST

@NVradenburg I was just sitting here thinking "I should put my plans in online... nah" #MTedchat

jhenze44 Jan 5 @ 10:27 PM EST

@SteveWyborney Writing doesn't come easy for me, getting enough to write is a struggle! #mtedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:27 PM EST

@mrstbauerly Such an easy trap to fall in to! I have been guilty more than once as well. #mtedchat

Mr_Olsen_Says Jan 5 @ 10:27 PM EST

A3: I really over commit myself. It makes the fun stuff not fun anymore. I need to manage that better. Make time for what counts. #MTedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:27 PM EST

Hmmm…. The one thing to stop. #mtedchat https://t.co/VbiPQxFJpP

cristama - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:02 PM EST

Tonight’s chat is inspired by a @sylviaduckworth sketchnote original ;) #MTedchat https://t.co/7hsXI7j7Ij

@jhenze44 I think we all can benefit from this one, Jess. #mtedchat

jhenze44 Jan 5 @ 10:28 PM EST

@mrstbauerly this is such an easy rut to get into. #BeAMarigold #mtedchat hat

mtkristigaines Jan 5 @ 10:28 PM EST

A3: I need to stop "fixing" things that don't need to be fixed. #MTedchat

hoffer_d Jan 5 @ 10:28 PM EST

@cwdexter Me too! And it can hinder me in finishing something bcs I want it to be "perfect." #mtedchat

cwdexter Jan 5 @ 10:29 PM EST

@mrstbauerly @NVradenburg My admin got me subscription to https://t.co/fbXPO7xHnJ this yr. LOVE it! So easy 2 change/add to plans. #mtedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:29 PM EST

@Mr_Olsen_Says Yes! Me too. It’s quite a juggling act sometimes and I worry that family life suffers b/c of my over commitment. #mtedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:29 PM EST

@jhenze44 I like to 1) turn on music 2) chase a question 3) notice when the writing is rolling and let it 4) jot a little each day #mtedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:30 PM EST

@jhenze44 One of my favorite ways to "write" is actually to talk, to record thoughts in a voice recorder while I'm walking. #mtedchat

walkchrysj Jan 5 @ 10:30 PM EST

@Mr_Olsen_Says Understand, Casey Because we have a desire 2 help as much as we can we tend to do this.It's in our nature to help. #mtedchat

jhenze44 Jan 5 @ 10:31 PM EST

@SteveWyborney This is a good plan! Thanks! #mtedchat

hoffer_d Jan 5 @ 10:31 PM EST

A3-Self doubt-effects my decision making. I tend to stew on things instead of just going for it. #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:31 PM EST

A3: Stop biting my nails-directly related to doubting my abilities & prof. judgement. Stop worrying about things I can’t control. #MTedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:32 PM EST

Great idea @bethhill2829 #mtedchat https://t.co/MynVFlqSkN

Fantastic fourth graders chose their #oneword2016 this week! #kidsdeserveit #edchat #leadupchat https://t.co/E1QIHCPVos

Mr_Olsen_Says Jan 5 @ 10:32 PM EST

@TriSciCurious That's big, Jess. We waste so much energy on things we can't control. Focus on the controllables leads to results. #MTedchat

hoffer_d Jan 5 @ 10:32 PM EST

@walkchrysj @Mr_Olsen_Says Saying "no" is a skill of its own. #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:32 PM EST

@Mr_Olsen_Says I definitely struggled w/this in 2015. At end, though, I got good at saying no. I’d congratulate myself when I did. #mtedchat

ryanhannahoe Jan 5 @ 10:34 PM EST

A3: I tend to take a lot of things home. I would love to leave school work at school, but that never happens. #MTEdChat

NVradenburg - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:34 PM EST

@TriSciCurious @Mr_Olsen_Says So hard to say no. I keep practicing. #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:34 PM EST

@SteveWyborney @jhenze44 I used to do this in the “my notes” section of Voxer. It was empowering to hear it! #mtedchat

jhenze44 Jan 5 @ 10:35 PM EST

@ryanhannahoe This would feel amazing, but I'd venture to say you and I are similar- constantly tweaking and rewritting. #mtedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:35 PM EST

@ryanhannahoe It does if you start to “forget” things at school. :) #mtedchat

Mr_Olsen_Says Jan 5 @ 10:36 PM EST

@TriSciCurious @walkchrysj @hoffer_d @NVradenburg I've cut back a bunch lately. It's helping me at home & in the classroom. #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:36 PM EST

@ryanhannahoe I used to bring a lot home, then I stopped. But, then I replaced it w/ things that were professionally related ;) #MTedchat

cbartow Jan 5 @ 10:36 PM EST

A4 Don't begin any work or collaboration without taking time to make personal connections with those you will work with #mtedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:36 PM EST

@TriSciCurious @jhenze44 Great idea! I often use the voice recorder on my phone. #mtedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:37 PM EST

@hoffer_d @bethhill2829 Nice going! #mtedchat

jhenze44 Jan 5 @ 10:37 PM EST

A4. My relationship with food... So toxic! #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:37 PM EST

@Mr_Olsen_Says @hoffer_d @NVradenburg Been working on having a focus. If it relates to something I’m passionate about, sure. #mtedchat

ryanhannahoe Jan 5 @ 10:38 PM EST

@TriSciCurious I am finding that I am doing that more and more -- Either with MSSE coursework or things for the MLC. #MTEdChat

cwdexter Jan 5 @ 10:38 PM EST

A4: Make those personal connections w/ each S. Hard to do with 130+, but so worth the effort. #mtedchat

mtkristigaines Jan 5 @ 10:39 PM EST

A4: My relationship with my own kids, who sometimes get the least of me at the end of the day when they should have the most. #MTedchat

mtkristigaines Jan 5 @ 10:39 PM EST

@jhenze44 Truth! #MTedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:40 PM EST

A4 I think it's important to make yourself "knowable" Be real. Be transparent. Be available. Let connections happen. #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:40 PM EST

@ryanhannahoe I really think it’s our personalities. I feel like I always have to fill a void. #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:41 PM EST

@SteveWyborney @jhenze44 Can we periscope it?!? Haha! #mtedchat

ryanhannahoe Jan 5 @ 10:42 PM EST

@TriSciCurious Agreed. We always tend to be doing something. #MTEdChat

NiemeyerMr Jan 5 @ 10:42 PM EST

A4) Better brief communication with staff - walkthrough=leave note of a strength and a stretch. #mtedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:42 PM EST

@TriSciCurious @jhenze44 You bet! Hilarious! Should I name 3 items…? #mtedchat

Mr_Olsen_Says Jan 5 @ 10:42 PM EST

A4: Looking forward to building relationships w/Ts across MT to help w/standards-based writing instruction. Right, @cbartow? #MTedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:42 PM EST

@SteveWyborney @jhenze44 Yes! #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:42 PM EST

@NiemeyerMr Welcome, Travis! Nice Periscope today! #mtedchat

cbartow Jan 5 @ 10:43 PM EST

@walkchrysj ;) Strengths n differences have to be part of real relationships that can withstand obstacles or communication issues #mtedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:43 PM EST

@TriSciCurious @jhenze44 Okay, I challenge you to come up with a great lesson skit that involves these three items… #mtedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:43 PM EST

@TriSciCurious @jhenze44 … a magnet… #mtedchat

ryanhannahoe Jan 5 @ 10:43 PM EST

A4: I would definitely like to collaborate more with K-5 teachers. I tend to stick to middle school and would like to branch out. #MTEdChat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:44 PM EST

@TriSciCurious @jhenze44 … a fossil … #mtedchat

cbartow Jan 5 @ 10:44 PM EST

@Mr_Olsen_Says ABSOLUTELY!! Looking forward to our call next week and big things to come. Thx for your leadership! #mtedchat

Mr_Olsen_Says Jan 5 @ 10:44 PM EST

A4.2: Also, my new superintendent is awesome, & I'm looking forward to working w/him for the Ss. Honestly, really am thankful. #MTedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:44 PM EST

@SteveWyborney @jhenze44 You totally had me at fossil… #mtedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:44 PM EST

@TriSciCurious @jhenze44 … and a gallon of water! #mtedchat

mrstbauerly Jan 5 @ 10:44 PM EST

@ryanhannahoe because middle school teachers ROCK! ... I'm not biased or anything.... ;) #MTedchat

@SteveWyborney @jhenze44 Can @ryanhannahoe be part of the gallon of water? PLEASE! ;) ;) ;) #mtedchat

ryanhannahoe Jan 5 @ 10:45 PM EST

@mrstbauerly Agreed! We tend to have the most fun. ;) #MTEdChat

hoffer_d Jan 5 @ 10:46 PM EST

A4-Several new Ts in my building this yr. Looking forward to strengthening those relationships & getting to know them better. #mtedchat

ryanhannahoe Jan 5 @ 10:47 PM EST

@SteveWyborney @jhenze44 I am seem to be missing something here, @TriSciCurious. Not. :p Totally should have gotten that on video. #MTEdChat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:47 PM EST

@TriSciCurious @jhenze44 @ryanhannahoe absolutely! #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:47 PM EST

@ryanhannahoe @SteveWyborney @jhenze44 I’m pretty sure it’s out there somewhere. @paulandersen had his phone. #mtedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:48 PM EST

@NVradenburg @TriSciCurious @jhenze44 It's the kind of thing you can't wait for when you know it's coming. #cantwaitformoments #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:48 PM EST

@SteveWyborney @jhenze44 @ryanhannahoe Just so you know, Steve, Ryan dumped water on me during a PD session…not cool! #mtedchat

jhenze44 Jan 5 @ 10:48 PM EST

@TriSciCurious @ryanhannahoe @SteveWyborney @paulandersen I'm sure there will be a good story over lunch tomorrow about this! #mtedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:49 PM EST

@cristama @cbartow Great question! #mtedchat

walkchrysj Jan 5 @ 10:49 PM EST

@ryanhannahoe Right Ryan. Greater vertical alignment helps us identify S needs & cre8 plans designed 2 provide structured support #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:49 PM EST

@Mr_Olsen_Says He must be…I had visitors from your neck of the woods! #mtedchat

cwdexter Jan 5 @ 10:50 PM EST

A5: Give up more control to my Ss and show them how capable they are. Let them make mistakes and learn it's ok. #mtedchat

PreFirstRocks Jan 5 @ 10:50 PM EST

Aaarrgghh someone catch me up-what did I miss???! #MTedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:50 PM EST

A5: I think sometimes that what I need to do is not just step out, but to "linger" outside of the comfort zone. #mtedchat @cristama

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:50 PM EST

A5: Try the things I’m most fearful of. And, do them again if I have to. #mtedchat

mrstbauerly Jan 5 @ 10:50 PM EST

A5: Be a louder advocate for what I believe in. Lead more learning opportunities for other teachers. #MTedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:51 PM EST

@PreFirstRocks Hello, Seema! #mtedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:51 PM EST

Love it! #mtedchat https://t.co/aTTDQAgvFm

mrstbauerly Jan 5 @ 10:50 PM EST

A5: Be a louder advocate for what I believe in. Lead more learning opportunities for other teachers. #MTedchat

Mr_Olsen_Says Jan 5 @ 10:51 PM EST

@TriSciCurious My colleagues had nothing but good things to say about their visit. Thx. Started convo abt grading in our building. #MTedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:51 PM EST

@TriSciCurious Like??? :) #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:51 PM EST

@Mr_Olsen_Says Oh, I’m glad to hear that! It was fun having them there. #mtedchat

cbartow Jan 5 @ 10:51 PM EST

A5 To get out of the comfort zone I just need to be confident, take a step, smile, look around (have an escape plan) and enjoy! #mtedchat

cristama - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:52 PM EST

“Goals are dreams we convert to plans and take action to fulfill” ~ Zig Zigler #MTedchat

cristama - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:52 PM EST

Q6: What can we do, as educators, to support students in articulating and achieving their goals? #MTedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:52 PM EST

@NVradenburg @TriSciCurious There is great value in the "doing them again" part. (I wrote that tweet 5 times to get it right.) #mtedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:52 PM EST

A5 I think I might start filming my teaching again. Haven’t done that since National Board. So painful to watch sometimes though. #mtedchat

ryanhannahoe Jan 5 @ 10:52 PM EST

@TriSciCurious @SteveWyborney @jhenze44 It was a #Science PD session. The best kind. ;) #MTEdChat

mrstbauerly Jan 5 @ 10:52 PM EST

A6: I share my goals, struggles failures & achievements w/ my Ss. We learn how to write goals, we monitor progress. #MTedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:53 PM EST

@TriSciCurious We have that panel discussion in Feb at the Tech Summit. I’m a little nervous for that one. #mtedchat

cbartow Jan 5 @ 10:53 PM EST

A6: Help Ss record and share those goals over time with the people who care most about them. Validate and give feedback #mtedchat

mrstbauerly Jan 5 @ 10:53 PM EST

A6: I think most importantly, we have to actually value & respect our students so they want to share their goals & progress w/ us #MTedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:53 PM EST

@NVradenburg Fantastic Idea! #mtedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:54 PM EST

@mrstbauerly Yes, when they so clearly detect how deeply you value them, they will be more eager to share. #mtedchat

ryanhannahoe Jan 5 @ 10:55 PM EST

A6: Bring in those personal experiences to our teaching. Kids love it when they know you failed (and learned) at/from things! #MTEdChat

hoffer_d Jan 5 @ 10:55 PM EST

A6-Create environment for Ss to share goals and for growth so they can achieve them. #mtedchat

mtkristigaines Jan 5 @ 10:55 PM EST

A6: Model our own goals, give them time to journal about and set their goals, and help them track progress. #MTedchat

cwdexter Jan 5 @ 10:56 PM EST

A6: Support/challenge them. Be there to guide, critique in a constructive way, and cheer them on.Let them know we believe to them. #mtedchat

SteveWyborney Jan 5 @ 10:56 PM EST

So @TriSciCurious and @jhenze44 I think that after your skit, you should send the "3-item skit challenge" forward to someone else. #mtedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:56 PM EST

A6: Give them practice. Set small goals (goal sheets) & reflect on the outcome. Tackle larger goals after. We can mentor & coach. #MTedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:56 PM EST

@SteveWyborney @jhenze44 Absolutely! We’ve got this, right @jhenze ?!? #mtedchat

cristama - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:57 PM EST

Thanks to @MTDPLN, we have been approved to award OPI Renewal Units for PD! https://t.co/DgIzOztd6T #MTedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Jan 5 @ 10:57 PM EST
