A5. If I decide that I do not want to become a teacher or look for something else, I would want to join the police academy and hopefully work with the DEA #ap3040

A4. I would love to advance my education to at least a Masters. I found the school and program where I would want to do it at and if I would be able to attain it, I would be able to do a lot more in a school system and in sports! #ap3040

[Adam Baumgardner @AdamBaumgardne2]

@MsLBinkley 100% agree

[Adam Baumgardner @AdamBaumgardne2]

A3. One thing that I noticed is how low Williamson County school districts pay is. That is one of the more wealthiest counties in the state and many lower income counties have higher pay than them! #ap3040

@SaraWilliams00 I like this method. Being a HHP major, we have to make attainable goals basically every semester and it really makes a difference for pushing yourself to do something!

A2. In college, I took a class that was called Mental Health and Happiness and one of the big things is how to manage your stress. One thing that I use is meditation before doing something that might be stressful. #ap3040

@DaltonMcgowen I can see this issue also. I've seen so many times that education majors doesn't get the recognition that they deserve

[Adam Baumgardner @AdamBaumgardne2]

A1. One reason why teachers might quit in their first 5 years is the struggle it actually is to become the teacher, instead of the student. Also could be for the fact that it could be overwhelming #ap3040

A7. Energetic, humorous, passionate #ap3040

[Adam Baumgardner @AdamBaumgardne2]

@DaltonMcgowen The worst kind of teachers

[Adam Baumgardner @AdamBaumgardne2]

A6. Lazy. Self-centered. Unprofessional... #ap3040

[Adam Baumgardner @AdamBaumgardne2]

A5. I think the teacher should address personal issues that are happening in the classroom and keeping home issues out of it and suggest that student to talk to a counselor and help keep the privacy of the student. #ap3040

[Adam Baumgardner @AdamBaumgardne2]

A4. I have a lot of experience with mental disorders and the thing I would do is try to set up a one-on-one to make sure everything is alright and try to keep everything positive around them. #ap3040

Q3. I would try to set a meeting up with the student after class and try to see what their reasoning is for not being motivated and also ask if there is anything I could do differently to make them more excited to come to my class. #ap3040

[Adam Baumgardner @AdamBaumgardne2]

@DaltonMcgowen That is a great idea Dalton! This method could really motivate students to do well in the future!

[Adam Baumgardner @AdamBaumgardne2]

A2. I remembered my favorite teacher was my 9th grade math teacher and before each class, he would find a funny/cheesy joke about what we were doing that day to hope to get the whole class to laugh! #ap3040

[Adam Baumgardner @AdamBaumgardne2]

@annamarie_pugh I think the special handshakes would be great to use!
