A8: It’s a bit cliché, but I had to learn that pushing myself too hard doesn’t make me a better teacher. Setting reasonable expectations for myself and following through are what will make me better in the long run. #5thchat

A6: The most important things are communication and sharing. Communication allows flr everyone to receive feedback on what they are doing and how they can improve. Sharing resources lightens the load on everyone and allows each person to teach at their best. #5thchat

A5: the things that always really make my day are when my students have given me a feedback note or written me a letter telling me that they appreciate me or think I’m a good teacher. Nothing is more precious than my relationships with my students. #5thchat

A4: @bes_kgibson obviously. She’s the super best mentor a student teacher could ask for. She’s always trying to improve and is there to help me improve. #5thchat

A3: I’m a personal fan of “Oh class, my class” #5thchat

A2: I have no situation just where I want it. I have been working hard on gaining the respect of my students, and I am happy with the progress I have made. I know, however, that I have much room to grow. #5thchat

A1: Once upon a time, there was a gifted class of young people. They were hard-working and kind, but also mischievous. They fought battles every day against the forces of doing what’s easy in pursuit of doing what’s valuable. #5thchat

Hello #5thchat! My name is Foster Andrews. I’m a 5th grade student teacher in Pensacola, FL. My favorite fairy tale would have to be Goldilocks and the three bears. It holds fond childhood memories.
