@_kimberlyrc_ @ProfessorStacie I completely agree that teachers have little resources!

[Amanda Selby @AmandaSelby15]

@addy_grace1 @ProfessorStacie I also mentioned how much of an impact you might or might not make. It could be huge!

[Amanda Selby @AmandaSelby15]

@ProfessorStacie The most surprising aspect for me has been seeing how much of an influence you have on your students and the relationship you build with them. If you are having a bad day and you take that out on them, they soon become resentful, instead of finding the positive. (Tweet 5)

@kayleebreigh @ProfessorStacie @WSMV I absolutely agree that teachers should just be focusing on teaching and not stressing about a test!

[Amanda Selby @AmandaSelby15]

@Megan65890318 @ProfessorStacie @WSMV I also think that it takes a load of stress off of both teachers and students.

[Amanda Selby @AmandaSelby15]

@ProfessorStacie @WSMV I believe this was the best decision. From a student's perspective, it is hard enough to teach ourselves the information not to mention all of the other things we are having to do. If students had to stress about testing, teachers would see a major decline in mental health.

[Amanda Selby @AmandaSelby15]

@addy_grace1 @ProfessorStacie I agree 100% that every student needs to know that you, as a teacher, respect them in every way.

[Amanda Selby @AmandaSelby15]

@ProfessorStacie I think that if every student knows that you are there for them and they are able to talk to you then you will create a more optimistic atmosphere in your classroom. (Tweet 3)

@hunnienicole @ProfessorStacie I am also a perfectionist! I always want everything to go as planned and when it doesn't I feel as though I have messed up.

[Amanda Selby @AmandaSelby15]

@Megan65890318 @ProfessorStacie I feel the same way! New classes can be intimidating to students AND teachers!

[Amanda Selby @AmandaSelby15]

@ProfessorStacie #IntroTeach101 As a new teacher, I am most worried about making sure each student feels like they can succeed. I want each person to know that they have their own unique abilities that can help them achieve anything they dream. (Tweet 2)

[Amanda Selby @AmandaSelby15]

@AlyssaBoswell2 @ProfessorStacie I love this! I also want my students to know that I WANT to help them!

[Amanda Selby @AmandaSelby15]

@ode_to_alexa @ProfessorStacie In today's world, I also want to help make sure my students know that my room is a safe place!

[Amanda Selby @AmandaSelby15]

@ProfessorStacie I want to be remembered as the teacher who helps my students see the good in any bad situation. Also I want to be someone who will help them reach out of their comfort zone but see success. The impact I strive to make is one that will teach them that learning is fun! (Tweet 1)
