@kim_kfischer120 The kids loved the letters. I even saw one of our fifth graders tear up as he read his letter. These act of kindness make a huge difference.
A7: Actively listen to them and hear what they have to say. I want to know why they do what they do. It helps me to know them better and how I can help support them to achieve academically or even in life. #VCSGreatTeachers
A2: I love when I am around colleagues who have open mindsets and are positive. It keeps me motivated to keep pushing forward even through challenging situations. #VCSGreatTeachers
A1: Ann Greene, Beachside Elementary. I’m most excited about meeting all of our new students and staff and welcoming them to our Beachside family. #VCSGreatTeachers
@meredithg17 Sorry, I didn’t make it to the chat last night. It was my birthday, and the family took me out to dinner the time kind of conflicted. It was fun getting caught up this morning.
A8: I feel like I always have a data driven plan for interventions; however, I would like to be more intentional and data driven this year in my coaching. #VCSGreatTeachers
A7: If we embrace the mindset described as never needing to repair, then we will less frequently need to repair. It’s also a win-win because we would be modeling the correct character traits for our students and colleagues. #VCSGreatTeachers
A6: We can flip the narrative by spreading all the good that happens in our school on our social media and not responding to those who are spreading the negative. #VCSGreatTeachers
A5: I ❤️ the phrase “Perception can become reality.” If you approach each day with the mindset that it is going to be the best day ever and stay focused on that mindset, it is more likely to happen. Everyone should embrace each day like it will be the best! #VCSGreatTeachers
Q4: I think I’m pretty good at immediate praise. I think my most challenging would be clean praise. I am the type that wants to attach something to it or have a reason for giving the praise. I need to work on this. #VCSGreatTeachers
