    FEAR is a powerful force it can get us to do things we normally wouldn't. We need to teach ss to not give into FEAR or the darkside #sstlap
  • STLinOK Feb 23 @ 9:12 PM EST
    82* and windy in OK - my spring bulbs have already bloomed. Crazy to be thinking of snow (although 80 in Feb is odder) #sstlap

    Fear can cloud judgement and lead to poor decision making. Ss can learn to take a hard look at probs and find solutions. #sstlap
  • BenvengaJoe Feb 23 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1: Would use this with new T's in the sense of understanding no teacher is perfect, but if you're timid the Ss miss out on learning #sstlap

  • Technutella Feb 23 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1: Share your failures w/ your ss and then explain the life lesson learned. When I overcome adversity "I always land on my feet." #sstlap
  • classroomtools Feb 23 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1 When times call for action, FEAR can inhibit people. OTOH if the times call for caution, FEAR can be a benefit. How to decide? #sstlap
  • STLinOK Feb 23 @ 9:13 PM EST
    Fear stops us from taking those risks that pay off. Trying to get better at encouraging the kids (& myself) to stretch a bit more #sstlap
  • Braz74 - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:14 PM EST
    yes- quotas and other policies from the past should be discussed with current events unfolding #sstlap

    A1b FEAR is sometimes used as a motivator or to gain power by others. We must combat its use in this way through KNOWLEDGE = POWER #sstlap
  • Braz74 - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:15 PM EST
    A1c tap into ss experience with fear and the lessons learned then apply to Propaganda campaigns or use of FEAR in history- TEACH ss #sstlap
  • StefOlbrys Feb 23 @ 9:15 PM EST
    A1 We need to encourage continual growth in our students. They shouldn't fear failure & they should know their best can be better. #sstlap
  • jmadlin001 Feb 23 @ 9:15 PM EST
    A1 Fear of anything that we don't know abt/ agree w/ is an ongoing prob that we have to address. Teaching empathy is so important. #sstlap
  • N_Davidson18 Feb 23 @ 9:15 PM EST
    A1: We are afraid of what we don't know, so teaching truths and stopping misconceptions helps alleviate fears #sstlap

    I think students find the connection to the past interesting, and it helps Ts make those connections #sstlap
