A2. Since I am not in a classroom setting yet, i am going to say what I will do, I will build relationships with all my students individually, and get to know what they enjoy outside of the classroom. #tlap

A1. I am currently a Junior at APSU hoping to teach 8th grade science, but if i were in a classroom now I would make sure that the student has all the support they need no matter the circumstances. #tlap

A5 If I were to leave my teaching job, I would want to be involved with underprivileged kids in some way, I just want to change kids lives and be there for a child who may not have anyone there for them at home! #ap3040

[Britnie Harding @BritnieHarding]

A4 YES, not only will it increase your pay, but it will also help with job security as well as opening up more job opportunities ! #ap3040

[Britnie Harding @BritnieHarding]

A3 I honestly wasn't surprised because as an edu. major you are told about how little teachers get paid almost on a daily basis. I feel like it needs to change but if it is something you really want to do I don't think that the income will stop you. #ap3040

@MissDiamondJP I LOVE this! I'm adding this to my list now! You have to remind yourself every so often why you wanted to teach in the first place!

[Britnie Harding @BritnieHarding]

A2 Definitely stay organized and make a system for yourself to follow before and after school. Also I would suggest to keep you school work at school as much as you can so when you get home you can relax. #ap3040

[Britnie Harding @BritnieHarding]

@MsLBinkley @MissDiamondJP YES!! Standardized testing is the main problems, because if you have students who don't test well it makes the teacher look as if they they didn't teach them anything that year, when in reality that's not the case at all.

[Britnie Harding @BritnieHarding]

@TonyaBanuelos1 YES! I think that a lot of the teachers get burnt out so easy because they don't realize how full time the job is! #ap3040

[Britnie Harding @BritnieHarding]

A1 I think that teachers quit sometimes, because they didn't realize all of the "extra" work that went along with teaching. Also they get stressed because of THE test. #ap3040

Hey you guys, I am Britnie, and when I was in middle school, I LOVED Diary of a Wimpy Kid! #ap3040

[Britnie Harding @BritnieHarding]

A7 Joyful, Energetic, and Dependable

[Britnie Harding @BritnieHarding]

A6 I would us uncompliant, judgmental, and disrespectful #ap3040

[Britnie Harding @BritnieHarding]

A4 As a middle school teacher i would first talk with my team teachers who also teach the same student and see how he or she is in their room, if the thoughts are the same I would then immediately contact guidance to seek further info. since they are trained in that area. #ap3040

[Britnie Harding @BritnieHarding]

@MrsBeligotti I definitely agree, calling them out in front of everyone will just increase the situation! #ap3040

[Britnie Harding @BritnieHarding]

A3, Get down to their level, while everyone is busy working walk to them, crouch down and just talk to them, see whats going on. This is better then calling them out in front of everyone and sending them to the hallway. #ap3040

[Britnie Harding @BritnieHarding]

A2 In 7th grade I had a teacher that every 9weeks had her students decorate a plate she would hang it from her ceiling and every time they did something good she would hole punch it and if they had so many hole they would be rewarded at the end, definetly doing this! #ap3040

[Britnie Harding @BritnieHarding]

@TonyaBanuelos1 Tonya, I LOVE this idea! As a middle school teacher, that will be a lot of hellos and goodbyes but that would be a great way to interact with the students individually everyday!
