My #oneword2018 was two words, Fully Completely, song by the Tragically Hip about ending a relationship, but the title of the song is also suited for how one should live life and the efforts put into the things that matter #teachNVchat
Commit, to keep me from getting lackadaisical when I really don’t want to do something. It has actually forced me to follow thru on things I might have dropped. #teachNVchat
A1 #momentum because I need to just keep moving, feel like I’m on a good path & need to keep pushing, stretching myself outside comfort zone #oneword2018#teachnvchat
A1: I actually have 3 words each year. My school year word is PARTNER. My new year word is EXPERIENCE. And my birthday word is QUESTION. #oneword2018#teachNVchat
My one word is CREATE. I picked it for many reasons. One to create memories with the ones I love. create a healthier lifestyle. Create a better classroom environment. #teachNVchat
A2: My word has help me do all that I can to give my firsties the best learning experience possible. Started adding in I wonder time and letting them create their own project to teach the class. #teachNVchat
A2 Cuz I’m focused & structured at work, it keeps me on track. Made a bigger difference in my personal life. Also has led to a few disappointments. #teachNVchat
A2: I am more mindful of my students lives outside of school. Maximizing our time together to lessen hw and allow them their own time for mindfulness. #teachnvchat
A2: I chose Partner for the school year because I believe it is the most important part of coaching. It has really helped me build relationships with teachers as I look for ways I can partner with them. #teachNVchat
A2 good to have a focus word, keep reminding myself it’s possible I’m one week away from finishing my first online grad class in new program, have had challenges but persevered. In class I try new things listen to feedback & move forward as needed make adjustments #teachNVchat
My goals for this year have been broken into more attainable chunks, not just the endgame, makes it easier to commit more fully, completely #oneword2018#teachnvchat
A3: I try to document in my bullet journal things that I create. Most are memories. My goal is one everyday but sometimes I don't get the time to document them. #teachNVchat
#teachNVchat A3 I will continue to be more present with my Ss and my family. I hope to continue to revisit #oneword with my Ss. It has enhanced my Ss #growthmindset.
A3: I try and pick the words that are connected in my mind. And luckily for me they are spread out throughout the year. This holds me accountable. Also I create a calendar around my school word. #teachNVchat
I like this one! Applicable in so many ways when working with Ss, Ts, and in everything we do, it's so easy to be distracted and to be thinking about other thing but so important to be present #teachnvchat
All the notebooks. Bujo. Tracking. And some days I won’t but I’ve already done some so now I’ve just done half as much which is technically still progress. #teachNVchat#SchrodingersGoals
A2: I’m not allowing anyone to dictate how I should be teaching my students...I’m relying on what I know is best to meet their needs...I’ve been focusing on my goals #teachnvchat
Of course, it’s fun to tell them I have homework. Student asked me yesterday when a grade would be posted, I said “great question, why did you turn it in late” she said “I’m so busy” responded “we have that in common” & we shared all the things we were busy with 😂 #teachnvchat
I will say that I am personally stoked on your focus and structure-since we could not finish WIDA testing without you-you make my job way easier! thanks #teachNVchat
