In reply to @msgearhart11

TheMrDevizzle Sep 5 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: Because if you don't someone else will! Easy to get a bad rep! Tell your own story! Get Ss and Ps in you! #wvedchat

MrsCatlettCares Sep 5 @ 8:09 PM EDT

Q1 Our stories include failures, triumphs and experiences that may inspire, comfort, or serve someone else in their journey. #wvedchat

profedenham Sep 5 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1 It's important to tell your story so you can make a deep connection with students and parents. They know where ur coming from #wvedchat

msgearhart11 Sep 5 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1) because education often has a single story. We see real education with real kids we need to share the triumphs #wvedchat

cnicolemorris Sep 5 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: because if we don't, who will? #wvedchat

tisinaction - Moderator Sep 5 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Oh yeah... someone can easily put words in your mouth or tell your story for you... and they may not be so nice about it! #wvedchat

In reply to @TheMrDevizzle

A1: Don't let someone out of your control dictate your story and put out something that misrepresents you #WVEdChat

We do! It's so easy to get caught up in the negatives #wvedchat

In reply to @msgearhart11

msgearhart11 Sep 5 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1) because we teach students, not tests. The story of education is multifaceted #wvedchat

tisinaction - Moderator Sep 5 @ 8:11 PM EDT

Ugh tests.... they only show 1 story, 1 side! #wvedchat

In reply to @msgearhart11

MissMillerAP Sep 5 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: #wvedchat If we don't, who will? Admins not in room enough to know. Ss have a diff. p.o.v. Only YOU can tell YOUR story.

TheMrDevizzle Sep 5 @ 8:11 PM EDT

Yea but it is much harder to put someone else down that is proactive about their brand and image #wvedchat

In reply to @tisinaction

MrsCatlettCares Sep 5 @ 8:11 PM EDT

Q1. Also, the rest of the world might be better able to understand your perspective, pet peeves, quirks, and so on. #wvedchat

tisinaction - Moderator Sep 5 @ 8:11 PM EDT

Yup, sometimes admins are only able to be in rooms a few times a year... and that barely scratches the surface of a class story #wvedchat

A4: You minimize the positivity created and allow others to produce negativity #wvedchat

profedenham Sep 5 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A4 If educators don't tell their own stories they get lost. They get overlooked. They allow others to define them. #wvedchat
