Thank you for visiting #ksedchat. We welcome all educators to our chat that runs Mondays at 8 p.m. Central. Though many of our educators have their homes in Kansas, all teachers are welcome to pop in and join in on the learning.
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! We are so glad that you are joining us in our #ksedchat! Let's start with intros: Name, Position, School, District and attach a gif that best describes your school year!

Hey @ksedchat ! I’m Jenny from Augusta. I teach K-5 Title Reading. I’m preparing to teach 3rd grade in Basehor-Linwood next year. My year has gone super fast! Lots and lots of change since August! #ksedchat
Q1: We all have that one teacher who made a huge impact on the course of our life. Who is it? What did he/she do to make it memorable?
Make sure it tag it both
#ksedchat and #dedicateanapple
Some big models of teaching I had my first year (as well as elementary) @jdb7071@deb_dmyers are phenomenal people who truly love kids. I can’t thank them for all they poured into me my first year! #dedicateanapple#ksedchat

A1: Mr Lynn Loucks was amazing as a 4th grade teacher. I remember awesome read alouds, plays, and we ran the Wichita river run as a class. #DedicateAnApple#ksedchat
A1: My one T was Marv Smith from Iola! He was my HS chem teacher and he never let me settle for less than my best - even if I had to spend every Sat. morning working on chemistry. However, once I learned it, he honored that grade. Learning vs. grade. #ksedchat#DedicateAnApple
A1: My 5th grade teacher. She read There’s A Boy in the Girl’s Bathroom by Louis Sachar out loud to the class and it changed my perspective of everything. 😍 #ksedchat
A1: My Mom, Debbie Firebaugh! I never got to have her as a teacher, but she is the reason I teach today. I hope I can leave the same positive impact on my students as she did on hers. #ksedchat#dedicateanapple
A1: Mr. Johnson from @USD418-he taught Social Studies and when I was in college I did part of my Student teaching w him! I even taught w him in Brazil! He was magical and made history come alive! #ksedchat#DedicateAnApple
I was very blessed with teachers in my life. My third grade teacher, Mrs. Chrisman and my Psych and Sociology teacher in high school, Renee LaFever (R.I.P.) were my main drives for becoming an educator! #ksedchat

#ksedchat and #dedicateanapple
I think it would have to be my HS Art instructor, Mr. Baskins. He was the one who gave me the opportunity to develop my love for music and art in the same classroom. A true innovator in allowing Ss to have authentic expression. #ksedchat#DedicateAnApple

#ksedchat and #dedicateanapple
A1: Mr. Conine was a great language arts teacher. Never apologized for expecting us to strive to our potential. Tough, relentless but also provided support. Dude also knew how to wear a suit. #ksedchat
A1: It's hard to pick just one, but the teacher that has had the biggest impact on my teaching career is @JessebAdam. He was there when I first started my teaching career and now more then ever I appreciate the growth mindset he had when teaching and trying new things #ksedchat
A1: Dr. Spurgin was one of my professors for my undergrad. He taught me to look at things differently and sparked my passion for special ed. He was always available to help after I graduated, too. He was even on my dissertation team. #DedicateAnApple#ksedchat
A1: A1: either my Mom or Dad were one of my teachers from 3rd-12th grade. I saw what great teachers did day in, day out my entire life. #ksedchathttps://t.co/MM0zbMlqgD#ksedchat

#ksedchat and #dedicateanapple
A1.2 - I can still never thank my professor, Traci Lutz, for bringing back my excitement in college and reminding me why I’m doing this! #ksedchat#DedicateAnApple
I remember taking a test 4 times before I earned a grade I knew demonstrated my learning. I have never worked so hard in my life -- and that means that he put in the same amount of time I did. #ksedchat#DedicateAnApple
A1) I think all of my teachers played a role. Some were great and pushed me. Others gave me reasons to make things better. There were also many outside of school too and those teachers I have learned from since becoming a teacher. #blessed#ksedchat
A1) 1st grade Mrs Stultz and 3rd grade Mrs Owens had so much love for us. And 35 years ago (shhh!) we gardened and did lots of art to learn skills. #ksedchat
Q2: As part of the @KTOYTEAM2018 we have had the opportunity to visit districts across Kansas. Each place we have gone has had something unique and inspiring to share. If you could host a group of educators what would you want them to see? What are you most proud of? #ksedchat
Q1: I didn't realize it at the time, but Glenn Wiebe 8th gr SS. Just the right amount of stories to go with content and really passionate about what he taught. I model my teaching after him :) #ksedchat#dedicateanapple
A1: My fifth grade teacher Delores Brown was amazing at building relationships with each and every student. We always knew we were valued and cared for. #ksedchat
A2: I am actually hosting a visitor from Denmark at my school tomorrow! I hope he get the sense that we are not just a school, we are a family at @FLERaiders. #ksedchat
A2: Relationships! Our students know that everyone cares about each other. I love it when students greet me in the hall before I can say anything. Means they feel comfortable. #ksedchat
A1: My outstanding grandma, Nancy Scriven. She always treated me with such respect as a child. We both learned something every time we were together. #ksedchat#DedicateAnApple
A2: I am really proud of the work Ts have put into @thedailycafe over the past two years! It has been exciting to have a common language when talking about books! Our Ss are reading more and oh so much more engaged in their reading! #ksedchat
A2: I would want them to see read aloud time and discussions that follow. Even 5th and 6th graders love to be read to everyday! #ksedchat#dedicateanapple
A2: At #HalsteadHS I am most proud of how much our staff genuinely discusses & wants to support each student. Before school, lunch, games, during bus duty, weekends, emails it seems like we always are talking about individual students & how to help them. #ksedchat
A2: I would want people to see the relationships we form with our students. That we have fun and really get to know our students likes and dislikes. #ksedchat
A2: I’m most proud that we are taking the leap to #redesign and be a part of Gemini II. I’m very excited as we move forward to keep doing what’s best for kids! #ksedchat
A1 There are several, but the one who set me on track to teach was my freshman yr Bio teacher, Ms. Cai. She was always there to listen, made me feel special, & set me straight if I ever acted rude or entitled! #ksedchat#dedicateanapple
A2: Hoping this dream comes true! Very proud of our unique students in our building! Mostly ESL and high poverty combined with fantastic resilience! I ❤️ #511Sunnyside#ksedchat
A2: I would want educators to see how teachers at Buhler High School are leading (from the bottom up) to create interest based classes instead of traditional ELA, history, FCS, and science classes. Valuing student voice and choice. #ksedchat

A2: I'm most proud and excited about how as a high school we are transitioning to becoming a pathway school next year and everyone is working together! So much excitement! #ksedchat#DCHS#usd443
A2: I'm most proud of our school family. I would want them to see that side of our school & how we encourage each other. And I love sharing our redesign info with people! #ksedchat
Q2: Well thanks to @nagel_megan, I think they’ve all been in my classroom this year. I just wanted them to student driven learning, students failing and questioning their actions. Also an appreciation for the subject #ksedchat
A2 I would want them to see the deep commitment @BuhlerUSD313 has to being #BetterTogether and teacher leadership. Great ideas are valued from the “bottom” to the top! #ksedchat
#ksedchat#DedicateAnApple A1: My 2nd grade teacher Miss Stevenson. Her energy, love for her students, and passion for education. She is why I became a teacher! I wanted to make a difference in the lives of others and she made me believe I could.
Imagine a history class about how assassinations changed the world or a science class about wildlife conservation. Or a literature/science class called "The Science Behind Science Fiction". These courses would be so much fun to facilitate! #ksedchat
A2: I would want educators to see how teachers at Buhler High School are leading (from the bottom up) to create interest based classes instead of traditional ELA, history, FCS, and science classes. Valuing student voice and choice. #ksedchat
Yeah, @KoehnsClassroom we loved seeing your future engineers. Aquaeducts rule!!! Encourages an appreciation for the past and possibility for the future. #ksedchat Thank you for sharing with @KTOYTEAM2018

@KoehnsClassroom, @nagel_megan, @KoehnsClassroom, @KTOYTEAM2018
A3: The connectedness I feel towards other people: students, teachers, parents, administration. Teaching allows me to continue to be a team player, and I love watching my teammates succeed! #ksedchat
A3: my favorite part of teaching is the hallway, after/before school, lunch, and one-on-one conversations that make our relationships stronger. #ksedchat
A3: The students! I’ve been in my current position for 4 years and have gotten to work with some of the same students all 4 years. I have loved watching them grow and change. Such an amazing experience. #ksedchat
A3) the lightbulb, seeing the growth, getting to be a small part of a path each child is on and helping them discover the potential they have, that point in the year they can function without me because they know they are learners #ksedchat
A3: I love it when we are reading and my kiddos make an emotional connection to the book. Love it when they are disappointed that we have to stop reading #ksedchat
A3: My favorite part of teaching is daily miracles you get to be a part of everyday! A child grasping that concept. A child making a new friend. So many amazing things happen everyday. you just need to step back & appreciate it. #ksedchat
#ksedchat A2: I'm most proud this year of how we've all come together to prepare for the redesign. We are truly changing lives at our school and I'm excited to be a part of it.
A3: Love how teaching allows you to actually make positive change in the world. I get to mentor a group of minds through their formative years. Awesome responsibility but I always feel like I am doing something with purpose. Plus summer break. #ksedchat
A3: my favorite part is to see a struggling student finally get it and the smile and excitement that goes along with it. Also, when several years later your former students are still talking about something they did in your class. #ksedchat
A3: My favorite part of teaching is when you teach a student their freshmen year than their junior year and see the change in attitude and learning style! Seeing the change in students is amazing! #ksedchat
A3: My students keep me going. It is hard to pick one thing...I love watching the students learn and show excitement to be at school. I love interacting with the Ss and showing them I will always be there for them and watching their reaction as they fully know that. #ksedchat
For me, it's the joy of inspiration that I observe while my students create and express themselves through the fine arts as they collaborate with students who are very much like themselves and totally different as well. The joy and journey of expression. #ksedchat
A3 Relationships with my Ss! Getting to know that they don’t like Lima beans or that weekends are hard or that they need supplies to get projects done at home or that they miss their dad. I can listen, help, reach out and even fuss because I know my Ss. #ksedchat
#ksedchat A3: The students. They are my daily dose of caffeine! My relationship with them makes each day more enjoyable. Taking a personal interest in their lives outside of academics yet supporting them as they grow and learn is super rewarding!
#ksedchat A2: I'm most proud this year of how we've all come together to prepare for the redesign. We are truly changing lives at our school and I'm excited to be a part of it.
A3: #ksedchat the relationships you build with kids and the teaching family keep me going! And seeing that spark in a kid’s eye knowing you have just changed their world
A3 The people. My room is a mess, my grading is piled up, the AC is too hot or too cold, blah blah blah, but the people make me laugh, swell up with pride, cry (happy and sad), and get up again every day. #ksedchat
A3 I love sharing my enthusiasm for history & geography, helping Ss understand these subjects & see how they can use them in their lives. I also love making a difference in my own community by teaching Ss in my neighborhood & parish. #ksedchat
A3: All the birthday treats! 🎂🙌🏼 But for real, my favorite part is helping a child gain self-confidence. 6th Grade is a rough chapter full of self discovery and doubt, I love reminding kids how truly amazing they are. #ksedchat
Q4: Let's take a few minutes to collaborate and share! What is the best lesson or unit you teach? What makes it great? Please feel free to add pictures if you have them! We can all learn from each other!
#ksedchat
A4: #ksedchat I have tons of favs...but one I am proud of is our Veterans Day interviews. We bring in veterans, interview them, then make a TIME person of the year cover and feature article every Nov
Q4: Let's take a few minutes to collaborate and share! What is the best lesson or unit you teach? What makes it great? Please feel free to add pictures if you have them! We can all learn from each other!
#ksedchat
A4) we read “All the Good Things” each year and write compliments to each other. If all I teach them is to believe in themselves and be good humans it is enough https://t.co/mfUfBpyjwI#ksedchat
A4: I love being able to teach students to identify their purpose/ reason behind writing - why did you choose that word, why did you organize the sentence that way? I want to see their thinking. That is where we see the most growth. Cognitive awareness? #ksedchat
Q4: My fave is reading The Lightning Thief & watching the movie. The kids really start picking out the similarities & differences, then we write a compare/contrast paper. I love seeing what they find! #ksedchat
A4: Regardless of the class or topic I always find a way to make a lesson around the movie Spare Parts! It connects in so many ways to the lives of the students we teach in Dodge City and motivates students to keep trying regardless of their circumstances! #ksedchat
A4: Our Nutcracker study in December is magical! Music and Art join us to learn about the dancing, the composer, & we even try making nutcrackers! We read 15 versions of the story and we go and see the ballet in Wichita and in Hutch when the Praire Nutcracker is on! #ksedchat
A4: Ss opened a donut shop. The money they made went to a local homeless shelter. They also did graphs, interviews, created their own donuts, & learned how donuts are made. We invited some SROs for the interviews and even made them a gift to thank them. It was great! #ksedchat
A4: I used to teach a Titanic unit. Every kid was mesmerized and the unit stuck. Loved incorporating all subject areas into the unit and the kids didn’t even realize it. #ksedchat
#ksedchat A4: My students love our unit on red wigglers. Unfortunately I dont have pictures because we won't be "playing" with them until tomorrow. The kids take a huge interest in the anatomy of and job of these little guys. Super fun to watch them interact with nature gently.
A4) Next year I want to do a PBL based on one is saw at High Texh High called “Numbers are People, Too.” Covers stats, and understanding the people they represent. Could tap into social justice nicely, I think. #ksedchat
I learned a math magic squares activity as a student teacher and have used it every year since. We talk about how to approach people and perform for them. We talk about the history of magic squares. Super fun to have each student feel the magic! #ksedchat
a4 Not a unit or lesson but a class: Pop Culture Lit. We have dealt with social and personal issues, it is a class that I feel the Ss truly get that research is about learning & not just writing a paper, the learning sticks and is ongoing because it is relevant. #ksedchat
Q4: Let's take a few minutes to collaborate and share! What is the best lesson or unit you teach? What makes it great? Please feel free to add pictures if you have them! We can all learn from each other!
#ksedchat
Greek Beauty Pageant! Students pair up to compete as a different god. 1 person dresses up and gives a 1 minute introduction speech. Then the assistant gives a 1 minute speech about the costume for evening wear. Wrap it up with a short talent portion. #ksedchat
A4: I love teaching rdg lessons with Patricia Polacco books. One of my favorites this year was “Junkyard Wonders”... Everyone is special, talented, and needed! Lots of connections, schema, and metacognition with this text. #ksedchat
I can attest to that - as a parent of a kiddo in your class. He is always thinking and working on this class - wait for it...because he wants to. #ksedchat
A4.2 our popcorn unit! The kids opened a popcorn business and sold to the school for their end of year movie. Money went to a charity that the third grade chose. #ksedchat
Q5: Laughter is the best medicine. What is your most embarrassing teaching moment? Sometimes we have to be able to laugh at the crazy things that happen in the classroom!
#ksedchat
A4: I really loved the popcorn company my first year with @deb_dmyers@luv2teach2006, this year I’ve loved our new Storybook STEM, my fav was The Recess Queen and engineering a paper playground and talking about levers. #ksedchat
#ksedchat A4) Probably one of my favorite experiences is when we bring our AHS and AES chorus together at our end of the year celebration. This is one of my favorite songs, "Tomorrow Needs Us," by Teresa Jennings. Here is the link to a performance: https://t.co/LvMxrAohlU
A4. I am coming in late tonight #ksedchat. But I want to share a student's blog post about the mirror and windows book club my students are finishing up this week.
"I'm going to see [this book club] as a way to look through someone else's eyes into their own life, including the challenges they face and how they're able to overcome them." Thanks to @OPSF233 for books that serve as #mirrorsandwindows! #teacherwinhttps://t.co/OTJqGr4nUq
Late to the game...
A4: I enjoy teaching my students digital citizenship. It's an important lesson as they are gaining the independence to navigate the internet and apps alone! We have to show respect in real life and the digital world; it's not too early to start. #ksedchat
A5: So this past semester my room was really warm and I was wearing a shirt that clung to me pretty well. So, as I was teaching one day and one of my students pointed out my sweat stains. It was the most mortifying moment, but we all laughed about it later. #ksedchat
A5: #ksedchat I was having Ss write Xmas letters about what they wanted. I was trying to discourage video games (play stations and gameboys) our came....lets try not to ask for playboys....🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Q5: Laughter is the best medicine. What is your most embarrassing teaching moment? Sometimes we have to be able to laugh at the crazy things that happen in the classroom!
#ksedchat
You should. Ooh ooh ooh. Student+Teacher exchange between district (a day, 2 or week?!!!) A T and S from each school trades places to take part and observe something exemplary in the other school. #ksedchat
A5: I am VERY afraid of spiders. When I was in Arizona we had some very big and gross spiders and one crawled across the floor when I was teaching. I had to stop and go get the principal to come kill it before I could continue teaching. #ksedchat
A5: Back when I used to wear heels to teach, I stood up and got my heel stuck in the back cuff of my pants. I tried to step forward and couldn't extend my leg. I fell forward and landed on the ground - on my face. Carpet burns for days. So embarrassing. #ksedchat
A5: so many...I am the Queen of Embarrassing moments. Teaching with zipper down, wearing diff colored shoes, falling alseep (recovering from knee surgery) in class. #ksedchat
A5: When I did not preview that darn Lewis and Clark video and there was a scene that talked about the sexual relationships they had with the native Americans. Could not find the pause button fast enough! Rookie mistake! Preview everything! #ksedchat
A5: When I was interviewing for my job at Frontenac, the zipper on my pants was down the entire time! I didn’t realize it until I was home. 🤦♂️ #ksedchat
A5: Soo may to pick from. How about the time I scolded all the 6th grade boys for not treating the balls with respect. You know because balls belong in a ball sack #ksedchat#thisisnthard
#ksedchat Whoops. #stillkindanewattwitter Probably one of my favorite projects we do is when we bring our AHS and AES vocal music departments together for our end of the year celebration. The song is "Tomorrow Needs Us," by Teresa Jennings. https://t.co/IWOGRpaTIn
Q6: We are better together! Who in your building makes coming to work each day great? Make sure to give a shout out to the person(s) who are your support network!
#ksedchat
A5: SOmetimes when I'm rushing in the morning I wear my shirt inside-out. It happens more and more as the year goes on. It used to be embarrassing when students said something. Now I'm used to it! It's normal in my world lol #ksedchat
A5) Tripping on a desk, and falling into a student. We both went to floor in a tangle. I still blame stuffing 30 students and desks into an old middle school classroom! #ksedchat
#ksedchat A5: Last year my puppy ate holes in almost ALL of my dresspants. One day he ripped an entire back pocket off on my way out the door. I pinned it, and Ss could still tell. To this day they look at my pants searching for holes. LOL!
A5: A kindergartener once tried to use my dress as a blanket... yes, I was wearing the dress. 🤣 Also, had to tell a kiddo that goodbye kisses weren’t allowed. Save that for Mom and Dad. #ksedchat
Q6: We are better together! Who in your building makes coming to work each day great? Make sure to give a shout out to the person(s) who are your support network!
#ksedchat
A5: Anytime I have to draw something on the board. Seriously, it's bad! The kids always start laughing & then I can't help but laugh. They like to talk about what it looks like I was drawing vs. what I was trying to draw #ksedchat
A5: Our beloved goldfish, Brasil, JUMPED out of his tank and landed in a gutter (outdoor classrooms in 🇧🇷)! The janitors came to save the day with a fork and a knife! I SCREAMED in Portuguese, “Don’t eat Brasil!” The janitors looked at me like I was crazy! 🐟 😩 #ksedchat
A5: Picture it. It's my recess duty day. The kids ask me to play soccer. I strut confidently to the field ("I got this" I say) The Ss pass the ball. I run to make a smooth kick and I STEP ON THE BALL. I timber down in slow motion as kids hide their eyes. #ksedchat
A6: @Orton5M and @johnlaffoon17, along with some other great friends who stay positive and make me laugh...they make my day great! I can always count on them to keep me in check when needed and to put a smile on my face. #ksedchat
He is not on social media but Curtis Wilson 2nd grade teacher at @FrankieFalcons makes me feel great everyday I come to work. He is just so much fun, and thinks outside of the box to support kids. He is always the first to show up and the last to leave. #smilingalways#Ksedchat
Q6: We are better together! Who in your building makes coming to work each day great? Make sure to give a shout out to the person(s) who are your support network!
#ksedchat
A6: Of course my #bhsela team is amazing, but I have to give a shout out to our LMC specialist @janealgray and counselors @AnnaKrone and @ndewitt25 because they are a true support system. Let me bounce ideas off them, and let me cry behind closed doors if I need it. #ksedchat
A6: I have so much love and respect for every teacher I work with. Every one of them brings something special to our building. I’m going to be doing some ugly crying when I have to say goodbye next week. Ugh! #ksedchat
A6: Of course my #bhsela team is amazing, but I have to give a shout out to our LMC specialist @janealgray & counselors @annaleekrone and @ndewitt25 because they are a true support system. They let me bounce ideas off them, & let me cry behind closed doors if I need it. #ksedchat
A6: @kdhuck sends good morning emails whenever she's at #DCHS. I look forward to reading the meme that is attached to the email! It makes the morning a little bit better! #ksedchat
Q7: Thank you for each and every contribution you make to the students of Kansas. Teachers are some of the wisest people I know. What piece of wisdom would you like to give to the preservice teachers or teachers who will be joining us next school year?
#ksedchat
.@TollefScience makes work fun, and evinces the passion one can have after decades of teaching. I get boundless support from my admins for all my wacky ideas, like @farrartongie. @MrMorganBio is a 1st year teacher, and sure makes the future of our school look bright. #ksedchat
A6 @dianapoliquin has been an amazing mentor, co-worker, and friend. I'm going to miss her when she moves on to another school, but hoping we keep in touch :) #ksedchat
Q7: Thank you for each and every contribution you make to the students of Kansas. Teachers are some of the wisest people I know. What piece of wisdom would you like to give to the preservice teachers or teachers who will be joining us next school year?
#ksedchat
#ksedchat@placetobe373 ALL of the teachers, administration, and support staff. I could never name just one. I'm blessed to work with the BEST, every day!
A7: I read this fantastic article recently about finding your marigolds...those who stay positive and encourage growth. Be sure to find someone you can lean on, vent to, but to stay positive through it all. Negativity can be a huge game changer. #ksedchat
#ksedchat Be true to you & embrace the challenges and joy of participating in the highest of professions, education. You are needed in this important time of our country's journey. Open your doors to those around you and embrace & serve the community with love and understanding.

#ksedchat
A7: My best pieces of advice: 1-never stop learning and 2-love your students no matter what--they brought their very best selves to school today. #ksedchat
A7: Build relationships, get involved with everything that you're interested in, and involve parents in the education of their student. These things will make your job easier and fun! #ksedchat
Q7: Keep it simple, slow down and enjoy your students, care for yourself, have a hobby, share and receive new ideas, join twitter chats, find a way to laugh each day. #ksedchat
A7) As long as every action reflects a commitment to being better at what you do, it’s okay to let the chips fall where they may. Find your voice and just go for it! There’s a whole online community ready to embrace your vision and support your growth! #ksedchat
A7: We are #bettertogether! isolation is the enemy of improvement - beg, borrow, and steal ideas from your colleagues. We need each other to be the best teachers we can be for our students. #ksedchat
A7 honest reflection is the best way to improve quickly during your first year. Some(many) lessons just won’t be very good. That’s ok, decide what you want to be better and get after it. #ksedchat
A6: #PCElearn has some fierce leaders who inspire me. I want to give a shout out to @JoyceRaya1 who is relentless in being an advocate for our students. Every kid deserves someone like her. #ksedchat
Celebrate your successes! Don’t get too comfortable. Push yourself to try new things. Allow yourself to fail. Only then will you know how to grow. #ksedchat
#ksedchat A7: Be YOU, be real, and never forget why you decided to become an educator. Some days are hard but focus on the good! The good always outshibes the bad.
