TammyJMASSP Feb 27 @ 8:15 PM EST

A1 I feel like I noticed it in staff more than students. I always addressed it with staff. It's a good time to celebrate them. #masspchat

jmessenger34 Feb 27 @ 8:15 PM EST

A1- Everyone just seems to be a little less patience with each other. And that is probably the nice way I can say that. :) #masspchat

I think our audience is somewhere between the Bachelor and the Voice #masspchat

kvancuren Feb 27 @ 8:27 PM EST

A2. Walking around and visiting staff. Taking an interest and being available #masspchat

TammyJMASSP Feb 27 @ 8:29 PM EST

A2 Buy a bouquet of flowers. Give them to a staff member and tell them they have to give them away to someone else in an hour. #masspchat

DonnaBoughner Feb 27 @ 8:29 PM EST

nsulla Feb 27 @ 8:30 PM EST

A2) Nancy Johnson once called Ts to office, gave each a bag of feathers: they could only teach content that day w/ feathers. #fun #masspchat

TammyJMASSP Feb 27 @ 8:31 PM EST

Let's try one more question. Might be the last! #masspchat

RhythmHigherEd Feb 27 @ 8:31 PM EST

A2: I'm the dev dir for a W MI Education Foundation (JPS). We're planning large community event for spring. Healthy distraction. #masspchat

TammyJMASSP Feb 27 @ 8:32 PM EST

Q3 What initiatives help keep your academic culture strong at a time when student attention span may be shorter? #masspchat

nsulla Feb 27 @ 8:33 PM EST

A3) Problem-based learning w/ Ss scheduling their time for completing learning activities. Compelling probs = no waning attention #masspchat

PWtoddo Feb 27 @ 8:33 PM EST

A2: Constant, positive talk and walk #masspchat

In reply to @TammyJMASSP

TammyJMASSP Feb 27 @ 8:34 PM EST

A3 We always did a "catch up day" in early March. Students who needed toward reported to T's while others had activities. #masspchat

kvancuren Feb 27 @ 8:34 PM EST

A3. We do meet and greets on Monday mornings to welcome students. Also exam treats from parents to students for exams this week #masspchat

RhythmHigherEd Feb 27 @ 8:35 PM EST

A3: Seasonal, yes. Also a hunger issue. Curious if your districts utilize @h2hfeedkids and/or @kidsfoodbasket? #masspchat

In reply to @h2hfeedkids, @kidsfoodbasket

PWtoddo Feb 27 @ 8:35 PM EST

A3: our culture, our expectations, and the character of our kids #masspchat

TammyJMASSP Feb 27 @ 8:35 PM EST

The real last question.....Q4 What do you do to keep your head in the game? #masspchat

jmessenger34 Feb 27 @ 8:36 PM EST

A3- Each grade level has something unique in the 3rd Marking Period which helps combat the "toughest marking period" for MS #masspchat

nsulla Feb 27 @ 8:36 PM EST

A4) Meditate, read, visit classrooms, collaborate. #masspchat

DonnaBoughner Feb 27 @ 8:38 PM EST

This is why I love trimesters! They are studying tough for finals next week. #masspchat

A4 I always kicked up the exercise. It helped to get the happy hormones flowing! #masspchat

kvancuren Feb 27 @ 8:39 PM EST

A4 Look for something fun to do as a staff-school bus karaoke this year. Speaker for student assemblies #masspchat
