    I’d like them to say that I was there for them, and I cared... #bfc530 😊 👍

    You want your co-workers, students and parents to say that they care about you and you are doing the best to facilitate the learning of all your students.. Our #YouMatter page https://t.co/f5AKvPdgG0 Thanks @AngelaMaiers for promoting this. #edchat #bfc530

  • iplante Nov 9 @ 5:34 AM EST
    Hopefully at some point they say i have helped them #bfc530
  • robinwellshick1 Nov 9 @ 5:34 AM EST
    Gm that I’m a good neighbor, a unflinching supporter , not a hater, stayed in my lane, always professional and led with the assumption that everyone was at work for the betterment of the Ss until I was shown otherwise. #BFC530
  • ChrisQuinn64 Nov 9 @ 5:34 AM EST
    To be honest, I would love for my colleagues to keep recognizing each other for the amazing things they do to raise our students up every day...it’s not about me! It’s truly about US, as a committed community! 😊 #bfc530
  • MrTravisDrake Nov 9 @ 5:34 AM EST
    That I push/encourage colleagues to branch out beyond the typical norms of the school. My passion is sometimes perceived more as a push than as an encouragement, so I must work on a happy medium to be fully understood by all. #bfc530

  • ACTforEducation Nov 9 @ 5:37 AM EST
    I want them to think that I’m an advocate for them, someone who will support them, listen to them and be willing to have the tough conversations when needed. I want them to see me as helpful and willing to jump in and do what it takes to make a difference. #bfc530
  • CoachKCullen Nov 9 @ 5:37 AM EST
    I hope that they would say that I like and care for my students and that the quirkiness they hear about my classroom is just part of my madness to reach that end. I really do enjoy going to work b/c the people I get to work with are great #bfc530
  • mssackstein Nov 9 @ 5:37 AM EST
    I also want them to know I am passionate about education and committed to helping make sure all students get what they need. So now in this leadership role, that means protecting the members of my team and helping them succeed. #bfc530

    Good morning #bfc530 I hope coworkers don’t spend much time thinking about me but when/if they do, it’s to say that I care about my Ss and our community.
  • MrTravisDrake Nov 9 @ 5:41 AM EST
    Really, I would probably just prefer being labeled as a goofball. #bfc530
  • kathyiwanicki Nov 9 @ 5:41 AM EST
    Reality is, we are all working so hard, at the end of the day I don’t even know if I spoke to another adult other than my para. My room is in the corner of the school. #bfc530

    I hope to be known for sharing important research & info, in a way that helps folks! Curious to know... is there a buzz about reading instruction in your school communities, on the back of this wave? #bfc530 #satchat https://t.co/q9yUbWCsEI
  • wheeler_laura Nov 9 @ 5:42 AM EST
    I wonder how much my colleagues really know about what happens in my classroom. I know some about my colleagues' teaching from what they & Ss tell me + me passing by. But how much do I really know? #bfc530

    This one was written with this Sunday in mind. In Australia it is Remembrance Day. This year is the Centenary Anniversary of the end of WWI. It begs the question: What legacy as educators do we leave behind? #bfc530 https://t.co/LaQOcMicZt
