    A1; as a young AP everything. You dont know what you dont know. I probably ask too many questions but I want to do the job right to best serve my kids and families. #OhEdChat

    Hello, friends! Robert, teacher from Cleveland. Looking forward to learning with you again! #ohedchat
  • LaurenRogSPED Feb 20 @ 9:08 PM EST
    A1: Adapting to change. As a planner, when things don't go as planned, it catches me off guard and I find it hard to get back on track. #ohedchat
  • dene_gainey Feb 20 @ 9:09 PM EST
    I love that. And the power is that there are so many unique students to serve! #OhEdChat
    In reply to @tyarnold18

  • ograham_speech Feb 20 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1: since I am still a student myself, I certainly have a lot of room to grow. I think the best thing I can do for my future students now is understand the populations I will be working with so that I know how to best serve them. #ohedchat #barbersclass @barbersclass
  • roberthoon13 Feb 20 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1: My biggest growing area is blended learning. I feel like I have fallen behind on this over the past few years. In an evolving arena, we must always keep learning! #ohedchat
  • dene_gainey Feb 20 @ 9:10 PM EST
    Lauren, thanks for your candor. I have faced this too and have found that leaning into it as a guaranteed thing has helped me, at least some.. #OhEdChat
    In reply to @LaurenRogSPED
  • TebnerEbner Feb 20 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1: My greatest growth area is probably in taking education policy and transferring that into daily practice--getting a better understanding of what it looks like, sounds like in practice and then helping fellow educators better understand it. #ohedchat
  • dene_gainey Feb 20 @ 9:11 PM EST
    Would you give an example of one of these Kevin? #OhEdChat

    A1: 1. Developing lessons that accommodate ELL students. Increase in numbers. 2. Using proven reading and writing strategies to help improve literacy. Grade level literacy rates decreasing. #ohedchat
    In reply to @dene_gainey
  • LaSraJaime Feb 20 @ 9:12 PM EST
    A1: Making every lesson/unit/learning plan as dynamic as my major exhibits. I get so excited about our exhibit nights that I go all out w/ the concepts & the Ss shine w/ their creativity b/c they had the freedom to choose HOW to represent their learning. #ohedchat
    In reply to @dene_gainey
  • dene_gainey Feb 20 @ 9:12 PM EST
    I love your response here. Even though I have been in the classroom for a few years, I still find such great value in the WHY and reflecting on WHO my students are and HOW I can reach them... #OhEdChat
    In reply to @ograham_speech, @barbersclass
  • grace_mcdevitt Feb 20 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1: As a student in their Freshman year, I definitely need to work on understanding educational law and policy and being able to bring that into the classroom. #ohedchat #barbersclass
  • jillcolaw Feb 20 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1 my colleagues and I have been exploring all things PBL. It has been a learning experience for me. I learn best when I am out of my comfort zone. #ohedchat
  • dene_gainey Feb 20 @ 9:13 PM EST
    The blended learning approach, I love it! Are you dabbling in your own approach? #OhEdChat
    In reply to @roberthoon13
  • TebnerEbner Feb 20 @ 9:13 PM EST
    If we don't ask questions, we spend a lot of time trying to figure out the answers, sometimes from sources or in ways that don't provide accurate information. Being willing to ask questions also models that for our students. #ohedchat
    In reply to @tyarnold18
  • kendremilburn Feb 20 @ 9:14 PM EST
    A1 my goal for this year was to make sure I was meaningfully using tech, not just tech for tech. Figuring out the pedagogy/learning and then match the tech! #ohedchat
  • MrKevinSnyder Feb 20 @ 9:14 PM EST
    A1 - I need to continue to push myself slightly beyond my comfort zone. Being an introvert, I find it difficult at times to meet and talk to new people. I constantly remind myself to talk to new people and sometimes I fall short. #ohedchat
  • TebnerEbner Feb 20 @ 9:14 PM EST
    So many promising aspects to PBL. I'm still wrapping my head around some aspects of it, too. #ohedchat

    You have my complete attention here Jaime. I love the potential for what can come out of an experience when we (the educators) can... Powerful! #OhEdChat
    In reply to @LaSraJaime
  • roberthoon13 Feb 20 @ 9:14 PM EST
    Are there specific groups decreasing? ELL students (generally) require very different, explicit instruction to accommodate their language differences. Similarly, SWDs may require varied interventions to approach grade level. Happy to brainstorm with you! #ohedchat

    In reply to @TebnerEbner
  • TebnerEbner Feb 20 @ 9:15 PM EST
    Understanding education law and policy will always be something to continue learning--and I know that can be a "good news/bad news" kind of thing as you start your education career! #ohedchat

  • Fultonofscience Feb 20 @ 9:15 PM EST
    Physical: Going from lecture to groupwork involves students moving. I can improve by making the locations of each group explicit and consistent over time Mental: getting minds ready for the task. I can improve my modeling and explaining what I am thinking & enforcing it #OhEdChat

  • dene_gainey Feb 20 @ 9:16 PM EST
    This is a hard thing, I agree since ELL students are not all operating on the same level. I think about some of the (in my opinion) best lessons I have taught...and I think they were off script...#OhEdChat
    In reply to @tpray22
  • TebnerEbner Feb 20 @ 9:17 PM EST
    Taking those steps and occasionally falling short also means you're learning and growing. #ohedchat

    In reply to @jillcolaw
  • Fultonofscience Feb 20 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A2: Love this question! I think educators should think much more about this than we do. Philosophy: My content is intrinsically interesting. I should always challenge my students w/ the content. I should always care for them. I should base my practices on research #ohedchat
  • AlyseConsiglio Feb 20 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A2) I'm late #ohedchat! My philosophy is to just try it! Try something new because maybe it won't work, but if it does, it could be awesome. And if it doesn't, it will put you on a better path.

  • MrMillerWHHS Feb 20 @ 9:23 PM EST
    Sorry, finally getting back into #ohedchat, A2) My philosophy is that we need to build relationships first and let the rest of "education" follow. If we are true to ourselves and students, the rest will take care of itself.

    A5 learning is perpetual or I wouldn’t be on this chat. Always looking for information to help my Ts and Ss #ohedchat

    And so am I, improving daily. A constant work in progress. I think our experiences help us to see the power that our spoken and unspoken words have and shape our future actions. #OhEdChat

    A5) My philosophy on this is that if we stop learning and improving our craft, we will inevitably start going backwards. #ohedchat

    A6: Listening is key--I listen carefully and find connection points. We all learn better and work more efficiently when we feel accepted and connected. #ohedchat

    I worked in T prof dev for a few years. You would not believe the number of teachers who say "I don't need this, I have a degree" 😬😬😬 #ohedchat

    A6: I think a major key in connecting in therapy sessions is to be light hearted. Make silly faces with the Ss in the mirror, make them laugh when trying to show and explain articulation techniques. Laughing can be a great way to connect and comfort! #ohedchat @barbersclass
  • STEMcoding Feb 20 @ 9:56 PM EST
    #ohedchat A6 It is a real challenge to regularly connect with the folks who use our coding activities. If we're being honest, communication (not technical issues) is the bottleneck of any successful project. It is hard to keep in touch with folks we've met around the state.
  • dene_gainey Feb 20 @ 9:56 PM EST
    I feel the same way. I say if I stop learning, I am no longer relevant to my students as a bank of knowledge or a model #OhEdChat

  • kendremilburn Feb 20 @ 9:56 PM EST
    A6 SO IMPORTANT! If you live on an island, you are going to get burnt out. Find your people on Twitter, participate in Twitter chats, connect and network at conferences/edcamps! Support is everywhere #ohedchat

    As a BT, there is so much I want to do/so much I want to learn to do as well. At times I think I really need to focus on the foundation of my craft but I think trying (and sometimes...a lot of times failing) keeps me in the game. Shows me my weak points so I can improve #Ohedchat

    Occasionally, we need a change in environment. @ColsSchForGirls is hosting a Central Ohio Diversity Educator Recruitment Fair for teachers, admin and staff. Meet new schools. Consider joining us and other schools and/or spreading the word! https://t.co/9vnjpS3Ppq #ohedchat

      A5: stop learning really? Sounds like stop working out. Sorry not today. Too much awesome things to learn about and share that useless information with others. But honest to be an educator and think your learning is done you're in the wrong profession. #ohedchat
  • KentPolen Feb 20 @ 9:57 PM EST
    A6. We have to model what we expect from Ts & Ss. Show them how to be an innovator, motivator, have perseverance, adaptable, critical thinker and team player. Above all teach them kindness and to respect differences #ohedchat
  • roberthoon13 Feb 20 @ 9:57 PM EST

    Final Question RT Q6! #OhEdChat
    • dene_gainey Feb 20 @ 9:51 PM EST
      Q6: The Power of YOU: Thinking about your practice as an educator, your environment would not be the same without YOU. How do YOU intentionally find ways to connect YOU to those in your realm of influence? Is this important? Why? #OhEdChat
  • LaSraJaime Feb 20 @ 9:58 PM EST
    A6: It's important to connect to those in power, but sometimes we have to seek these connections outside of our school. These can be as useful and productive as one in the bldg. #ohedchat

  • AlyseConsiglio Feb 20 @ 9:59 PM EST
    A6) as an admin, still be YOU. Have likes and dislikes. Be funny. Be sad. Don't politician yourself...that is, dont try to be so likeable to everyone by being bland, that you turn into no one. Be great at your job and hang onto your personality. #ohedchat
  • TebnerEbner Feb 20 @ 9:59 PM EST
