A6: A district must publicly support and celebrate Ts to encourage a supportive community working towards same goal: students. #ankedchat

@tomtalksmiddle thank you for joining us tonight! #ankedchat

@tomtalksmiddle It's taught me I need to be very intentional about the important things: people. #ankedchat

A6: a weekly highlight would be a great way for a district to share/celebrate Ts. #ankedchat

JenHoulette May 5 @ 10:48 PM EDT

A6: A Twitter shout out, district teacher newsletter, or maybe teacher of the month. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator May 5 @ 10:48 PM EDT

IMO districts would serve their staffs well by recognizing positive deviance. #ankedchat

A6: We used to have the Red Apple awards at the beginning of the year. It has since been retired, I guess. #ankedchat

chemelnalic May 5 @ 10:50 PM EDT

@DRich0696 It is an application process for those Ts interested in #blendedlearning. No stipend, but great resources and PD! #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator May 5 @ 10:51 PM EDT

Q7: In what ways could you inspire your students or your peers? #ankedchat

I'm out. Gotta get some assessing done. Thanks!!! #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator May 5 @ 10:52 PM EDT

I guess I'd better contact the Twitter gods to see why they hate me. #ankedchat

MrLisekRPSA May 5 @ 10:52 PM EDT

A7: Build relationships and talk about non-school items. That will fuel the school related topics. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator May 5 @ 10:52 PM EDT

A7: Remembering that it really is all about relationships that matter - and focusing on that. #ankedchat

@BarefQQt Set the bar high... watch them reach it or help lift them up to it if needed. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator May 5 @ 10:57 PM EDT
