Democrats now want to abolish ICE
Did you know, ICE has been instrumental in arresting, convicting, & deporting child sex traffickers?
Democrats care much more about foreign nationals illegally in America than they do US citizens
My career politician opponent has attacked me for not spending enough time in Florida. Truth is, I was born here, raised here and served on our military bases here. But there was a time I did have to leave Florida. When duty called, I served our nation in Iraq.
Right in time for #July4th Trump admin took the dumbassery & incompetence to a new level
•Requiring migrant toddlers separated from parents to appear in court alone
•Cadet Bone Spurs got rolled by KJU. North Korea increases nuclear production
#satchat
How are your friends doing? You remember Michael Flynn, Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort and George Papadopoulos from the campaign and Russia contacting fame?

#edchatmena is back with one Qs to urge reflection and discussion during a well deserved summer holiday.. relax and reflect .. How do you think we can help our Ss to have the willingness to learn? #edchatmena#edchat#satchat
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf on CNN calls for ICE to be abolished.
This is the same woman who aided illegals by tweeting a warning to them about an incoming ICE raid.
This is the Modern Day Democrat Party. They are Pro Open Borders.

Remember when Obummer told us that 1% GDP was the “new normal”, and to “get used to it”...
Today we are over 4%.
Just shows how out of touch Barry was on running this country.

A1 - @kymharjes, @DrHydrogenHC and Mrs_Hua have tapped into collaboration &innovation @HopewellES. From literacy to STEM to art, they welcome all opportunities to collaborate, embrace best practices, think outside the box, & innovate in order to do what’s best for kids #satchat

Seeing @gcouros speak & reading #innovatorsmindset really opened my eyes to what we could be doing in the classroom & how important it is to be connected and push my learning #satchat
#satchat A1: The members of my PLN, #4OCFpln. They amaze me with their ability to adjust and to keep learning as the focus no matter what else goes on!
A1 basically any @dbc_inc related EDUs! @alienearbud is the reason I got onto Twitter & am now active both on Twitter & Voxer learning with and from others #satchat#ThePepperEffect

A1 The first teacher who influenced me & changed my teaching was @NancieAtwell way back in 1990 with her groundbreaking book In the Middle. My teaching changed radically & I've been experimenting ever since. #satchat
A1: Definitely my student teaching cooperating teacher. The way she builds relationships and the proactive approach she takes to running her classroom. I strive everyday to be as proactive a teacher as her. #satchat
A1: This entire Twitter #PLN has been instrumental in my growth & development the last few months! Whether it's a book to read, a technique to try, or manta to repeat, I continue to be amazed by how much we can learn from each other here! #SatChat#ThePepperEffect#CelebratED

A1) @ainteriano01 is a leader who always inspired me to take risks & to be more. She comes to mind immediately.
Also @john_seidlitz, my current boss is innovative & encourages creativity. Lastly, my awesome PLN! These educators make me better!! #satchat#ThePepperEffect
A1 @TaraMartinEDU is an educator who had an impact on me and my students via Booksnaps and the science behind it 😀 Connections and multi modality learning #satchat
A1: I’ve had several educators help me be more collaborative and innovative! Joining Twitter chats and connecting with Ts from all parts of the world means I have too many to mention! #Satchat
Q1 The Beatles changed the course of Popular Music by tapping into collaboration and innovation. Which educators have done the same for you? Share why. #satchat#ThePepperEffect
A2: Great vision precedes great achievement. Every team needs a compelling vision to give it direction. The Beatles modeled this on Pepper #satchat#ThePepperEffect
A1: There are so many innovative educators changing the way we work together, making collaboration the norm, I gravitate toward those who strive to develop a school culture of “every child, every day” 😊 #satchat

#satchat A1 One of the best things about PD across schools is the opportunity to #collaborate with #teachers from beyond our #school. To share ideas and grow!!! with these colleagues is so meaningful
A1 Dr. Rita Pierson was a life altering game changer for me. The philosophy that kids don’t learn from someone they don’t like is one I have built my life around. #Satchat@smgaillard
A1: First up is Mima she showed me the true power of building relationships. Next is Mrs. Kendrick, her passion was contagious! Her love for the profession was inspiring... #satchat#ThePepperEffect
A1: My #PLN has been a game-changer, taking me from being on island (was solo AP math T for yrs) to being connected to the smartest, most passionate educators in world. A special shoutout to my #KYGoDigital tribe. They are the ultimate silo-shatterers. #satchat#ThePepperEffect

A1 morning all! My inspiration often bursts from the classroom talking w kids - the 3rd grader who once said to me that I should tell Educators to have a tech petting zoo to learn about new tech #satchat
A1: Collaboration and innovation happens best when it’s organic, it can range from #edtech texts with @MissEduTech or discussion in hallways with colleagues about💡moments . Or meeting up with colleagues from @SENCERnet to get your brain lit up 🔥! #satchat
A1 I am a strategic partner with school leaders creating thriving schools through a strengths and wellbeing lens. I have a best friend who is a leading expert and authority or creating thriving campuses. He’s my greatest collaborator in doing the same in k-12 #satchat
A1: There are so many educators out there looking to share and collaboration #edtech and educational innovation. The list is VERY long but the key to this is connections through social media. Without out this resource there would be little collaboration or innovation #satchat
A1 Many specific people IRL have empowered me and lifted me - but I think that by staying "plugged in" online that I've grown tremendously as an educator. Finding people online that may not be near you or even in your school to empower you to pursue. #satchat#ThePepperEffect

A1: Attending EDCamps has had a huge impact on my philosophy of education.. seeing the possibilities of of what collaboration could bring parted many seas in innovative thinking among educators #SatChat
A1- My science community. @NSTA and my state science association, LSTA, changed my practice w/ opportunities to collaborate & share ideas, build my own capacity, use my voice & advocate for policy improvement, use Twitter, blog, take risks, and improve my craft.
#Satchat
A1b Pretty much all the @dbc_inc author/educators have had a big effect in many ways. Connecting with them thru Twitter continues the learning #satchat
VIDEO: In First Speech As Premier, Doug Ford Promises "Hope & Prosperity, Not Just For The Privileged Few, But For Every Person In Ontario". https://t.co/G1NmJ1CY3D
A1 Now all these inspiring @dbc_inc authors bring different perspectives & innovations that have reignited a spark in my teaching #ThePepperEffect#satchat
SEDOL is a co-op for students with significant special needs the teachers and staff here are truly innovative and collaborative to educate all #satchat
A1. So many have pushed my thinking. My PLN has made me better for the Ss I serve. Without the SM, we wouldn't have that collaboration or innovation. #SatChat
A1 The first teacher who influenced me & changed my teaching was @NancieAtwell way back in 1990 with her groundbreaking book In the Middle. My teaching changed radically & I've been experimenting ever since. #satchat
A1 If leaders bring in outside collaborators their uniqueness must be honored and appreciated. There is never a one size fits all. Every district is as unique as every individual inside it. #satchat
A1: A1: @mrsmcfadd@lawkteach both amazing mentors who made sure my teaching journey started off in the best way and continue to support all my efforts and ideas. And of course @smgaillard for giving me the gift of #CelebrateMonday#satchat #ThePepperEffect#satchat
A1 I'm incredibly lucky to work with an innovative, dynamic team of Ts. Ideas pop up in the hallway, over lunch, having coffee in the staffroom. They never quit! #satchat
A1 My Teaching & Learning Coach @tlckcollins helped our admin team to maintain a focus on great teaching when we could easily focus on student behavior and school management #satchat#thepeppereffect
A1.2: collaboration doesn’t need to be strictly within our own buildings...it can be across town, the state, nation, or world! Use tech as a tool to expand our classrooms! #Satchat

Q2 part of believing in your vision is to MODEL your vision - hard to get buy in when you're preaching but not practicing yourself #satchat#ThePepperEffect
Retweeted Urban Teacher (@urban_teacher):
Sound Advice for Educators:
1) Know your vision
2) Be authentic
3) Model the way
4) Share good practice
5) Build relationships
#satchat
A2 making sure I am modeling what and where we should be striving to go. Share out with pictures, videos, and get in to bump elbows with them in the class #satchat#ThePepperEffect
A2 part of believing in your vision is to MODEL your vision - hard to get buy in when you're preaching but not practicing yourself #satchat#ThePepperEffect
A2 - First, it’s important to welcome, value and support teachers’ ingenuity by listening to them, sharing research/resources to support their vision, and never permitting funding to get in the way. It’s also crucial that we, as admin, innovate as well #satchat#ThePepperEffect
A1 Basically every educator involved in #educolor is about innovation which only really comes from inclusion. People over there are actively trying to walk that walk in a way that is not in any way performative #satchat
She was my first mentor - she let me see that teaching didn't have to be what my school was asking for - admitedly, I was a little sneaky about what I did until the principal noticed that it worked & accepted it. #satchat
#satchat
A1- Read TLAP last summer, and @burgessdave opened my eyes to the different, creative ways to approach a topic that most students find boring. My co-teacher of 4 years, K Johnson, was a leader in my bldg for working with other Ts to model co-teaching
"Trump purposefully used his position of power to try and steamroll people of color asking to be treated equally, into silence. In the process, he and his supporters proved exactly why these athletes were kneeling to begin with."
#SaturdayMorning#SatChathttps://t.co/iiO8SxY9gp
A1 in 2010 @csratliff@irasocol began to push me to think about maker work inside schools to inform learning not just after school - within a year Chad was creating mechatronics labs all over the system and Ira was supporting up maker spaces in libraries in #acps#satchat
A2. Start with the willing and celebrate the heck out of them. Treat early followers as equals. Here’s an EXCELLENT @TEDTalks on how to start a movement! https://t.co/e4jjgRX0DU#satchat
A2 Our job as leaders is to ASPIRE to INSPIRE before our time EXPIRES! Every student, every teacher, every principal, every day! #SatChat#thepeppereffect
A2 You can’t just speak about your vision. You have to live it through your actions. Don’t just talk the talk. Model for others what you want to see. #satchat@smgaillard
A2 If you’re convincing others to believe in your vision, it’s not a vision; it’s an agenda. See people for who they are, understand their values, ask questions, and ask for help. #satchat
A2 #ThePepperEffect#satchat Celebrate the success of others. SMILE.A.LOT. Collaborate and reflect, often! Your colleagues are your school fam! Love them!
A1: There have had numerous teachers that have inspired me over the years, and not all good! In fact I feel I have learned more about the power of collaboration from those who suggested with it. #satchat#ThePepperEffect
Our school has 12 different #TMGenius summer book studies going on right now... all over Voxer. And all T-led. #ohyeah So much awesome learning & energy. #satchat
In reply to
@mlarson_nj, @cpoole27, @dbc_inc, @alienearbud, @rokstar19
A1: Easily Mom! @SVaites helped me understand SO much... about literacy, early childhood development, and especially the challenges faced by principals. It's a lonely and tough job, yo. And mom was a ninja principal.
#satchat
Be a reflection of that which you wish to see, model collaboration, caring, perseverance and positivity in all that you do, walk the walk 😊 share the ups and downs and clebrate the growth! #satchat
A1: I had a teacher in high school who encouraged us to challenge our own long-standing beliefs in a safe environment. Not coincidentally, he played music before every class to make the space more comfortable.. complete with some Beatles!! #ThePepperEffect#Satchat
A2: It's all about sharing that vision. It's what takes us on the right path. If you have a positive attitude, it spreads like wildfire!
"Love your collaborators and demonstrate your belief in them." -@smgaillard#satchat#ThePepperEffect
A2 I try to live & model my vision everyday. I want Ss to be empowered - so I have to empower my Ts. As much as possible, I offer any support they may need but then try to stand back & let them run with their ideas. #satchat
A2: I like to inspire by sharing my learning. Sometimes it will be a short blog post sent to 1 staff member, sometimes it's a printed article in the lunch room to help all. But I also like to have pop up Karaoke at class change or an iced coffee station. #satchat#ThePepperEffect
A1: I’ve been blessed to have a long list of inspirational educators. I’m giving a special shout out to @MrsLantz1 for nudging me back into Twitter this year. #ThePepperEffect
Q1 The Beatles changed the course of Popular Music by tapping into collaboration and innovation. Which educators have done the same for you? Share why. #satchat#ThePepperEffect
Yes that support means everything. Helping you push through the difficult obstacles and being there to celebrate the successes. And helping to adjust course when needed. #satchat
1 of 2
A2: We must model the vision we set and the expectations we have for others.
Ex: If your vision is for others to embrace more #edtech or use social media for educational purposes then how are you modeling this for others? Are you giving resources and ...
#satchat
2 of 2
and opportunity for others to learn and try? Vision, expectations and words are just that... our actions indicate how much that vision, expectations, and words really mean. Be the positive example for others.
#satchat
A2. Value the voice of others. Everyone has something to bring to the table in our journey toward greatness. Where do we want to be and how are we going to get there? #satchat
#satchat A1 @BAcastiello introduced me to Twitter. @ShiftParadigm introduced me to the "world that is" Twitter. Met too many along the way to begin to mention who helped me grow/become. I guess, according to #ThePepperEffect ... it's all w/"a little help from my friends".
#satchat
A2 I try to share what I'm trying in my classroom with other teachers, I share the apps, add-ons, Google pieces, Twitter, etc with my staff and offer trainings to help staff blend tech into their teaching
A2: model the vision. Be clear when explaining the why. Listen to concerns and feedback. Involve others in development of the vision, but remain strong to the best of the Ss. #Satchat
A1 I have lately been most inspired by my co-teaching partner. I've learned so much from her approach to building relationships w/students. She really gets to know them on a personal level. #SatChat
Seven a.m
The garbage truck beeps as it backs up
And I start my day thinking about what I've thrown away
Could I push rewind?
The credits traverse signifying the end
But I missed the best part, could we please go back to start?
Incubus, 11 A.M. #PostASongLyricYouLove#SatChat
A2 You always have that will jump in with both feet to something new, celebrate their risk taking 🎉 it will encourage others to try too 😀 Safety in numbers #satchat
A2 I try to build a positive culture at my school. I do random acts of kindness to boost morale & to show gratitude. I show the staff how I use Twitter & SM to connect with other educators & classes. To get off the island #SatChat#ThePepperEffect
A2: systemic promoting of your vision is key. Sometimes you need to bring the vision to others and have people question how to achieve it. Questions are the window to ownership. #SatChat
A2: You must be enthusiastic about your vision, but I think you have to be flexible too. Allowing others to help shape, improve, and add to your vision will push you to refine it while empowering them to share it #satchat
To add on to this, and believe in yourself. And LIVE your vision. If people see you living it, then it becomes something innate instead of something scripted or prescribed #SatChat
A2 If you’re convincing others to believe in your vision, it’s not a vision; it’s an agenda. See people for who they are, understand their values, ask questions, and ask for help. #satchat
A2 Followers watch what leaders do and how they treat them as individuals. If you want those you lead, s or t, to believe in your mission and vision you must care for them first. #satchat
OSU's Dr. Ben McCorkle! He had our class work together on projects that built to an end goal of creating a student publication, Cornfield Review, which challenged us in infinite creative ways and gave us a tangible product that illustrated our hard work and collab #satchat
Our vision to #prepare#empower and #inspire is fully a part of what I plan for through #pbl. The #empower piece is most important, I want my students to have a #voice and stand up for what’s right through civic engagement. I share during PD and hope it inspires others #satchat
A2: Helping others believe in a vision starts with believing in them and the power that teachers have. Then believing in our students! Embrace all kids where they are and decide they deserve the best, not just what we've always done. #satchat
JW released new IRS docs which show that Senator John McCain’s former staff director & chief counsel for Senate Homeland Security – Henry Kerner – urged top IRS officials like Lois Lerner to “audit so many that it becomes financially ruinous.”
https://t.co/Z6YxSZJXkC
A2 vision can’t reside on a page - find your stories of teachers and kids living the vision in your schools and tell those stories every chance you get in every format - get kids telling them too horizon 2020 https://t.co/g6uDdEeCp3#satchat
A1 I have lately been most inspired by my co-teaching partner. I've learned so much from her approach to building relationships w/students. She really gets to know them on a personal level. #SatChat
Hello, Jessica! You share the name of my favorite Allman Brothers Song. I am so glad you are here. Congrats on your first blog post! Looking forward to you reading #ThePepperEffect#satchat
In reply to
@jchandlerteach, @LexMidSchool, @dbc_inc
A2: Really inspired by the words of @brewerhm 1. Choose your attitude, 2. Make someone ELSE's day, 3. Have Fun! The #relentlessprincipal is bringing it & so should we. #satchat
A2: I try to be a positive team member. When something new is introduced, I try to be the one to step up and try it out and then share my experience. We are all afraid of change, so I try to embrace and be positive about it. #SatChat
A2: every chance I get I will point out the correlation between the vision and what we see going on. It is at that moment when things happen seemingly without purposefully tying it to the vision that drives the point and the value of the vision home. #satchat#ThePepperEffect
A2 School leaders who use an intentional framework for creating thriving wellbeing within individuals create thriving schools and achieve measurable goals. Wellbeing is a hard measure that leads to performance outcomes. #satchat
Q3: In recording their "Sgt. Pepper" album, The Beatles made steps to create something bold and innovative. What next steps will you take to create a masterpiece for your schoolhouse or district? #satchat#ThePepperEffect
A2: I just taught the #Mastermind a incredible activity called "The Dream 101." It aligns peoples dreams with their leaders. After that the energy and synergy is incredible and dreams become reality. #satchat
A2- Every conversation needs to relate or connect to the vision at some point! #successatcres can’t happen without all stakeholder input and feedback! #satchat
Q3: In recording their "Sgt. Pepper" album, The Beatles made steps to create something bold and innovative. What next steps will you take to create a masterpiece for your schoolhouse or district? #satchat#ThePepperEffect
A1: @MJLiben + David Liben taught me essential literacy research and its pedagogical takeaways.
My fave example: the importance of content knowledge to literacy. This short video is a great primer on the research:
https://t.co/VCzKTQ0vmC#satchat
A2 I set a vision that’s actually equitable and just. If I say I value stud leadership then Ss are on the schl’s PTO and are on the schl brd. If I say I value diversity of staff then marginalized ppl aren’t just in the wrong. They are at and welcomed to the table. #satchat
Q3: In recording their "Sgt. Pepper" album, The Beatles made steps to create something bold and innovative. What next steps will you take to create a masterpiece for your schoolhouse or district? #satchat#ThePepperEffect
Exactly. The Beatles succeeded because of their relationships with one another. And sadly, they disbanded when they failed to bring others into the mix. Think Yoko Ono. #satchat
A1 I have lately been most inspired by my co-teaching partner. I've learned so much from her approach to building relationships w/students. She really gets to know them on a personal level. #SatChat
#satchat A3: Keep developing "Mathacognition." These are my bi-weekly reflections with my Ss (on private Google-docs) about their emotional associations, successful strategies, and challenges in math. Last year was the first. Time to make it even better!
"Summer of Rage" - unhinged Democrats are no stranger to forming mobs, destroying property and harassing people.
Trump filling a second SCOTUS seat this fall will lead to even greater unstable and violent emotional outbursts from Democrats this summer.
#satchat
Democrats want to abolish ICE because they want the entire USA to be a Sanctuary Country. Remember that when you vote. #SaturdayMorning#SatChat#WalkAway
A3 I'm making a concerted effort next year to co-plan & co-teach with classroom Ts (I am PE); incorporate Flipgrid into my daily lessons as a digital movement portfolio & put my hand in as many committees as possible #satchat#thepeppereffect
Agreed Sara! This is a great resource for networking and learning! I'm a pre-service teacher and this chat was highly recommended in my grad program and I saw why pretty quickly #satchat
A2: Our work is too important to not have everyone on board & leading. A shared WHY is essential. When all have a voice & are essential to the vision, a team becomes unstoppable. #satchat#ThePepperEffect
Innovation = Creativity + Assessment. Know what you are trying to impact when you do something outside the box. It can’t be innovative unless there are measured results. Begin with end in mind. #satchat
A3: Knock down the walls to our classrooms and get students into the world. Collaborating, publishing, creating, exploring! Not just getting our Ss ready for their future; getting them ready for their now! #satchat
A2. In my building, it has been about standing my ground. Every time someone has tried to pull me from co-teaching (my vision for ELLs), I have found a way to make it work. #SatChat
A3: experimented with elements of flexible seating last year. Moved all the desks out yesterday and Next year going all in! #satchat#ThePepperEffect#imagine
"My classroom is a mixed bag of successes, pains, failures, messes, collaborations, flaws, beauty and adventures. And it's every single one of these attributes that makes it so rewarding." Robert John Meehan #edchat#satchat#educhat#k12#elemchathttps://t.co/Lk86SrIj5J
A2: actions speak louder than words when it comes to this. In addition, to living it out I try to love on my co-worker/student. I make coffee for my school each morning, talk to them, pray for them, help them ex... #satchat#AllYouNeedIsLove#ThePepperEffect
My first day is Monday as superintendent. My next steps will be to get to know the Board, staff and students. To do this, my first steps will be to get in the buildings and meet who I will be serving! #ThePepperEffect#satchat
Reminder: Before the FBI began investigating the Trump camp there were at least 7 different instances when Trump campaign advisers were approached with “Russia-related offers” by Western intelligence assets & Clinton-affiliated political operatives. https://t.co/yIICF07IBV
A3: Summer plans include diving into Elenea Aguilar's books The Art of Coaching Teams and Onward: Cultivating Emotional Resilience in Educators. Step 1 is know yourself. #satchat#ThePepperEffect
A3: face doubters and challenges head on. Start small and show evidence of how things will work. Reflect often and be willing to make changes. Don’t let others distract you from your overall goal. Remember who you are doing it for! #Satchat
A3: Connect, share the vision, work together every day to do what’s best for kids, encourage and inspire those around you with positivity and support 😊 #satchat
A3: Building the #1 leadership community for school admin. 41 members from 8 different countries. Here's the vision over the next 3 years here: https://t.co/FctstiGJDL (I'm teaching this free on Fridays through the summer before people have to invest in this masterclass) #satchat

A3 Next year we're moving towards S self-evaluation in all subjects & in life skills. They'll be writing their own narrative progress reports & using portfolios to show Ps how they've grown. #satchat
A3:
1⃣Write it nice and big somewhere in my room.

A3: We must ask the hard & uncomfortable questions, & take time to self-reflect. Vulnerability is key. It takes time, patience, & courage. The first step to creating a masterpiece involves believing it's worth the effort! Mindset matters!! #Satchat#thepeppereffect
A3 #ThePepperEffect#satchat Our math dept is taking purposeful steps to incorporate more student voice and reflection. My kids will spend more time making and creating this year. And lots of celebrating!

A3 I get to watch the unfolding of a new space for creative learning in #acps Albemarle Tech will be so much more than tech - a Center for Creativity and Invention https://t.co/N8Z6QgJA1d#satchat
A3 I hope any next big thing includes incorporating understanding the strengths of people, setting them is for success based on what they do best, and include questions and strategies around wellbeing. We are at our best when wellbeing is thriving. #satchat
A3: I’m stepping into a new district this next year, so I’m planning my steps very carefully and balancing boldness with earning credibility and respect through relationship building. My boldness will shine through vulnerability and connections. #satchat#ThePepperEffect

#A3 I have spent the last 10+ years researching how we can use #film and its related skills (screenwriting, film theory, analysis) to enhance and complement #learning. It is a vision I am sticking with. I have seen how it helps kids become better #readers and #writers#satchat
A2: As a leader, we must have an unshakeable WHY and the energy & passion behind that purpose. Because it will be difficult. And there will be haters. #staypositive#satchat#ThePepperEffect
#satchat
A3 I want to use Backchannel apps in class to support Ss conversations during instructional periods, allow for S questions AND S responses. I want to minimize the use of a textbook in my class and allow my Ss to see their world as a textbook

A3 Work with others in my school or district to create a meaningful learning experience for my students. Ask students what they want to learn and explore. #Satchat
Side note...wellbeing is how we experience life everyday. It matters for adults and students in the building. It’s more than wellness. But wellness is a critical element of wellbeing. #satchat
A3: I plan this yr to do more student choice and making the Ss responsible for their learning. This is not the norm at my campus and very different from the direct teach model that is comfortable. I want to support my fellow Ts to and get them to get out of the comfort zone.

A3) Im training full time now but I'll make a concerted effort to lift up Ts & help then see the positives in their work & vision. Ts need cheerleaders when things get heavy. #satchat#ThePepperEffect
Keep trying! It’s not always easy but worth the effort. Keep sharing great ideas and causally mention that you found them via twitter. #satchat#ThePepperEffect
#SatChat A3: one thing I will be better about this year is cultivate relationships with community leaders. This could have a huge impact on student learning and activities.
Thank you #satchat PLN for a great convo this AM.

Have a great week everyone
Addition to my #SatChat A1- My #PLN (esp. my Twitter tribe)
There are so many amazing educators on this platform. It's hard to measure how much I've grown because of my Twitter PLN. Case in Point: I'm learning how to use Voxer this weekend!
A3: My vision of my masterpiece is to help Ss communicate in science confidently, we had a scientific literacy log this year to communicate science with families (which a parent told me they loved 👍👍), but next year I want to aim for @TEDTalks style!! #satchat
A3. Minor spoilers: Fully gamified teacher training week with #QRBreakIN! Collecting badges to teach policy updates in centers, solving puzzles to model new tech, & Mr. Potato Head PDSA build challenge to model data driven reflection processes & mindset. Happy to share! #satchat
Love flexible seating as a concept! How does it work practically for you? How many students do you typically have in that room? Any difficulty tracking student observations or formative assessment with students more spread out? #satchat
A3: I plan to implement more family engagement opportunities.. More opportunities for families to engage in learning at the middle school level and collaboration👍🏼 Would love to hear any stories others used for middle school family engagement! #Satchat

A3 nurture invention work by protecting inventors ala Skunkworks model ... encourage people to not play it safe ... shift yea but mindset to what if ... doesn’t cost a dime but it does take will #satchat
#satchat A3 My next steps? I will gather materials, read all that I can, and will create connections over the summer - but my "steps" will be guided by those most important: my students. Summer is a time to re-charge ...
#ThePepperEffect
Q3: This upcoming school year, I will be helping to start an urban garden. In hopes of creating a space for students and their families to grow closer to our staff. We hope to build community while we learn! #satchat#ThePepperEffect
A3.2: also, reading through this chat, something else I’m chewing on is Ms. Frizzle’s advice; “Take chances, make mistakes, get messy” #satchat to me, that inspires innovation. We are afraid to get messy though.
A3: We have so much positive energy & momentum behind our school vision. Our next step? Be UNrealistic together. No room for mediocrity. #letsdothis#satchat#ThePepperEffect
