A4 If I were to leave my K-12 job, it would most definitely be to continue my football coaching career at a university. #ap3040

A3 I'm surprised that teachers in the counties around here aren't getting paid much more than the tiny town that I'm from. #ap3040

[Coach Jones @CoachJonesAPSU]

A2 If the staff and other teachers around them were uplifting and encouraging, it'd go a long way in making them want to continue. #ap3040

[Coach Jones @CoachJonesAPSU]

@MsAilworth that's a very solid point. It's such a time demanding job that they will tend to put themselves on the back burner. #ap3040

[Coach Jones @CoachJonesAPSU]

A1 I believe the main reason new teachers quit is because they're overwhelmed with how much actually goes into teaching a classroom. #ap3040

I'm Chase and my favorite TV series is Friday Night Lights. #ap3040

#cpchat I do believe that part of my life purpose is to better the lives of students. I'll definitely have that mindset in the classroom.

[Coach Jones @CoachJonesAPSU]

#cpchat In difficult conversations I'm the accomplisher because I'd do my best to get the student to reach resolution with themself.

A7 Noticed that passion was a common answer. If we as teachers aren't excited about materials, how do we expect students to be? #ap3040

[Coach Jones @CoachJonesAPSU]

A7 The 3 words I'd use to describe my favorite teachers are passionate, prepared, and caring. #ap3040

[Coach Jones @CoachJonesAPSU]

A6 The 3 words I'd use to describe my ineffective teachers are lazy, boring, and monotonous. #ap3040

[Coach Jones @CoachJonesAPSU]

A5 My favorite English teacher always incorporated games or activities into lessons that made even the most boring of lessons fun. #ap3040

[Coach Jones @CoachJonesAPSU]

A4 Never be alone with another student, regardless of situation. Keep personal life like social media, phone numbers, etc private. #ap3040

[Coach Jones @CoachJonesAPSU]

@TommyUnderwood2 I agree that motivation is a huge factor. Try to find something in them that sparks some passion. #ap3040

[Coach Jones @CoachJonesAPSU]

A2 Be firm but fair. Make it known that you require effort, hard work, and respect, but show your students you care for them also. #ap3040

[Coach Jones @CoachJonesAPSU]

@MsAilworth Klaire I couldn't agree more that students are much more willing to cooperate with a teacher that cares about them! #ap3040

[Coach Jones @CoachJonesAPSU]

A1 They create students who respect and look up to you, thus making students willing to work hard for someone they get along with. #ap3040

[Coach Jones @CoachJonesAPSU]

I'm Chase, and I'll be working in Huntingdon over spring break! #ap3040
