  • polonerd Mar 20 @ 9:57 PM EDT
    Exactly! We can't look at a list of strategies & say "maybe next year". It took the Cubs 108 yrs w/ that phrase/attitude. #tlap

    A6 passion is always there. The energy can fluctuate at times. Ss smile, comment, ah-ha or uh-oh moment usually gives me more energy:) #tlap
  • TracyMailloux Mar 20 @ 9:57 PM EDT
    A6 By not counting down the days, but by celebrating what we've accomplished and we're we are headed. #tlap

  • Artguy76 Mar 20 @ 9:58 PM EDT
    A6: by not giving up the fight! Still giving Ss a why, to what they are doing. And expecting the same as always! #tlap
  • timneedles Mar 20 @ 9:58 PM EDT

    A6: Remember when young minds leaves, more will come. Ready for you...for you were blessed with them. Passion overflow until the end. #TLAP
  • i3algebra Mar 20 @ 9:58 PM EDT
    A7: You kind of just do it. You decide not to settle for the status quo once...and then keep making that decision more often than not. #tlap
  • theMrOlson Mar 20 @ 9:58 PM EDT

    A7: make the choice that best fits the needs of students. Nobody what happens, if Ss are at the heart of the decision, it's right. #tlap
  • nbartley6 Mar 20 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    A6 I never saw it as the last day, but more of the beginning of something new. When Ss see it that way too, the passion gets stronger #tlap
  • urbie Mar 20 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    #tlap A7 By acknowledging I’m human and mistakes will be made.. that’s where learning comes from.
  • polonerd Mar 20 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    Love the fact that you're grounded in the WHY. Ss need to understand that. #tlap
