Run by Iowa educators, #IAedchat is on Twitter the first, second, and third Sundays each month at 8:00pm CST. We have added #IAedchat LIVE to the fourth Sunday of the month at 8:00pm CST. This will take place in Google Hangout on Air. We will share the invitation and link to #IAedchat LIVE each month.
As soon as we start discussing happiness… teachers are drawn to this. We’re hungry for that! **We need more happy!** :)

We all have 50,000-70,000 thoughts each day. On average, 80% of those thoughts are negative because our brains are wired to look for danger. But we can change the neuro pathways in our brain to think more positively. #iaedchat
With 50,000-70,000 thoughts in a 24 hour period and 80% being negative, we have to rewire our brains to mute the inner critic. @strobeled#iaedchathttps://t.co/yvFLFNG4AM
Of the number of thoughts that you have in a day... how do you make these thoughts more positive? Only 20% of those thoughts are positive. #IAedChat#gratitudejournal
People who can receive feedback in a positive way have a growth mindset. Don’t feel threatened by feedback; do something with it.

Trauma isn’t just about poverty. Many kids, when entering kindergarten, have several forms of trauma they’re dealing with. How are we creating trauma-sensitive classrooms?

Trauma informed is entering into our profession. How do teachers become informed and use strategies so we don’t escalate some of those behaviors. Helping these kids to feel safe. #IAedChat And teacher self care to deal with this trauma.
1/4 people experience trauma. 1/4 students…. And this also means 1/4 staff members have experienced trauma. This is something to think about.

We have to change the mindset of honoring intelligence via ‘good grades’. We need to have kids working in their zone of genius.

What needs to change in the landscape of education?
Those darned tests. We need more freedom to pump creativity into our classrooms and those tests don’t give us an avenue to do that.
