@ECET2natl A9. Teachers have to be there to lift one another up and push each other to be the best educator possible. If a colleague is struggling then be that person to encourage them and give them any supports that they may need. #barbersclass @barbersclass #ecet2

@ECET2natl A8. Step out of your comfort zone and don't be afraid to try new things. You want to find what works best for yourself and your students & you do that by trial and error and celebrating mistakes & successes. #barbersclass @barbersclass #ecet2

@ECET2natl A4. Empowering teachers that have leadership roles will enable them to want to continue being a strong leader & finding ways to do so. Also, the community of teachers will want to continue making changes that contribute to the betterment of education. @barbersclass #ecet2

@ECET2natl A3. I am not a teacher just yet, but so far in my education I have received positive feedback about how naturally drawn I am to the children that I am working with & how it is the most important aspect of teaching; to make a child feel that they are valued. @barbersclass #ecet2

@ECET2natl A2. There is great value in teachers leading. They will encourage other teachers to want to enhance their teaching instruction. Also, students will notice their teacher's leadership and this will positively contribute to their academics. #barbersclass @barbersclass #ecet2

@nathan_stevens A4. They love anything that incorporates a game or having them tap into their competitive side.

[Ayanna Casterlow @CasterlowAyanna]

@nathan_stevens A3. Personally, I love technological activities that incorporate a smart board. It is really engaging and meaningful for the students to be able to physically touch the board to complete an activity or to further guide the teacher's instruction. #edtechchat

@nathan_stevens A2. Slowly get them to share their knowledge about the technology and explain why it is extremely useful information for others to know especially within the classroom!
