@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl @rita_goss @AndrewBuchheit @MrPostGFHS A5: follow @TeachRock for awesome lessons using music to connect with students. #culturize #pwcsbuildingbridges

[Catherine Storke @CatherineStorke]

@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl @rita_goss @AndrewBuchheit @MrPostGFHS A4: definitely model behaviors I want to see repeated. This is especially true when I expect students to be respectful. The won't show respect to me if I dont show respect to them, so I try to model that daily. #Culturize #PWCSBuildingBridges

[Catherine Storke @CatherineStorke]

@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl @rita_goss @AndrewBuchheit @MrPostGFHS A3: I try to have a real conversation with at least one student a day. I want them to know I see them as real people who have lives outside of class. #culturize #pwcsbuildingbridges

[Catherine Storke @CatherineStorke]

@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl @rita_goss @AndrewBuchheit @MrPostGFHS A2. Impromptu conversations in the halls and at lunch help me stay connected with friends in the department. Sometimes they even lead to great lesson ideas too! #culturize #pwcsbuildingbridges

@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl @rita_goss @AndrewBuchheit @MrPostGFHS A1. I'm working toward national board certification this year. It has been a goal of mine since 2006 and I decided this year I would make it happen for myself. #culturize #pwcsbuildingbridges

[Catherine Storke @CatherineStorke]

@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl @rita_goss @AndrewBuchheit @MrPostGFHS I sent a positive email home for a student whose grades aren't the best, but she tries harder than anyone else #culturize #pwcsbuildingbridges

@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl @DeniseHuebner2 @Mrs_Treichler A5: We nominate phenomenal Pioneers to be recognized (and awarded!) at monthly faculty meetings. #culturize #pwcsbuildingbridges

[Catherine Storke @CatherineStorke]

@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl @DeniseHuebner2 @Mrs_Treichler A4: I love that I get a chance every day to make a positive impact on a young person's life. They have a heavy burden sometimes and I like being able to lighten it. #culturize #pwcsbuildingbridges

[Catherine Storke @CatherineStorke]

@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl @DeniseHuebner2 @Mrs_Treichler A3: I always feel this at the end of a school year. It takes the whole year to get the students to my goal. Then it's a fresh start the next year building that knowledge base all over again. #culturize #PWCSBuildingBridges

[Catherine Storke @CatherineStorke]

@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl @DeniseHuebner2 @Mrs_Treichler A2: publicly share the wins and successes our students have (even on the little things). Everyone likes to feel special so take time to make others feel special. #culturize #pwcsbuildingbridges

[Catherine Storke @CatherineStorke]

@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl @DeniseHuebner2 @Mrs_Treichler A1 (part 2)...and adults need to let kids have a bad day without taking negative behavior personally. #culturize #pwcsbuildingbridges

[Catherine Storke @CatherineStorke]

@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl @DeniseHuebner2 @Mrs_Treichler Anxiety is very prevalent in our students. Adults need to work with kids to ease their stress rather than purposefully adding to it. #culturize #pwcsbuildingbridges

[Catherine Storke @CatherineStorke]

@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl @DeniseHuebner2 @Mrs_Treichler I'm an English & Journalism teacher at Patriot HS. #culturize #pwcsbuildingbridges

[Catherine Storke @CatherineStorke]

@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl @TheColon_s @AJTechSuper @_MarkMcElwee A5: checking in and sharing resources with others helps keep everyone afloat. #Culturize #PWCSBuildingBridges

[Catherine Storke @CatherineStorke]

@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl @TheColon_s @AJTechSuper @_MarkMcElwee A4: being kind to everyone. There's no need to be mean to kids who make bad choices. It pays off in the long run when the kid's bad day is over and they remember your kindness. #Culturize #PWCSBuildingBridges

[Catherine Storke @CatherineStorke]

@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl @TheColon_s @AJTechSuper @_MarkMcElwee A3: if a unit isnt going well or is dragging, I plan a fun activity / lesson to break up the monotony. We have been doing a lot of reading lately, so tomorrow they will be recording video responses. #Culturize #PWCSBuildingBridges

[Catherine Storke @CatherineStorke]

@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl @TheColon_s @AJTechSuper @_MarkMcElwee I like writing down compliments for people. Today I sent an email to a colleague of a conversation I overheard in the hall. Two students were talking about how much they loved her class! #culturize #pwcsbuildingbridges
