Q3 We need to take risks as an educator. Do you check out the label on the box of chocolates or do you just pick one? #edprep

posickj - Moderator Feb 14 @ 8:20 PM EST

Not meant to be scary. Meant to be supportive and reflective. #edprep

In reply to @Samuel_Wallace2

posickj - Moderator Feb 14 @ 8:21 PM EST

A3 The fun is in not knowing what will be chosen. Could be great. Could be not so great. Take a risk and learn from it. #edprep

Samuel_Wallace2 Feb 14 @ 8:21 PM EST

A3 I need to get more comfy taking risks, I like things planned & expected but need to branch out more for my students #edprep

erod129 - Moderator Feb 14 @ 8:22 PM EST

A3: I am a caramel/toffee guy. I look at the label and get those first! In class I learn as much as I can and then take the plunge #edprep

posickj - Moderator Feb 14 @ 8:20 PM EST

Q3 We need to take risks as an educator. Do you check out the label on the box of chocolates or do you just pick one? #edprep

ApraRalli Feb 14 @ 8:23 PM EST

#edprep A3. Sadly, the label still means a lot. The looks are the next option and risk - as far as chocolate goes, can't take a chance.

posickj - Moderator Feb 14 @ 8:23 PM EST

Think of the positive in the risk, not the negative. If it fails, learn from it and move on. Seriously. #edprep

In reply to @Samuel_Wallace2

erod129 - Moderator Feb 14 @ 8:23 PM EST

Thanks for the encouragement! Can't be afraid to fail, how else will I learn? I need to live what I ask of my students #edprep

In reply to @posickj

posickj - Moderator Feb 14 @ 8:24 PM EST

Some people like their chocolate too much to take a risk. Maybe a smaller box of chocolates would help? #edprep

In reply to @ApraRalli

erod129 - Moderator Feb 14 @ 8:24 PM EST

Sometimes depends on how supportive admin is and the culture on campus. Agree? @posickj #edprep
