@Honda @HondaCustSvc What can you actually do to help a cust? Courtesy car? Nope. Supply chain issues for part? Ok, I’ll buy a new car. Can’t get what I want. Dealership is trying, Honda cust service is nil. Can’t help. Callous and uncaring. @Kia and @Hyundai have vehicles!

[Meredith Hanft @HanftMeredith]

@HondaCustSvc I need your help! I am nearing 4 months without my vehicle waiting for a part! No firm ETA! I am willing to trade in (and lose money) but no vehicle available in the model and trim I want. All for a so-called “feature” no one mentioned.

@teris1091 Don’t be afraid to ask, “will you do this?” Or say, “I’d appreciate if you would...” I think a lot find themselves in a rut. They’ve had teachers who didn’t want to give up control. Or who have had bad past experiences and low expectations

[Meredith Hanft @HanftMeredith]

I’ve been really fortunate in the Coteaching dept. I enjoy sharing the class with another teacher- creating a warm environment and bouncing off one another. It takes a lot of give and take. #4wf8333

[Meredith Hanft @HanftMeredith]

@teris1091 Approach it as a team. Decide roles for each of you, split up the teaching and responsibilities. If they don’t seem receptive, make your expectations known and continue to bring them into the goings on in the class

[Meredith Hanft @HanftMeredith]

@moree_allie @DrCaslerFailing I think they may be impressed by your choice.

[Meredith Hanft @HanftMeredith]

@DrCaslerFailing Thank you! Have a great evening!

[Meredith Hanft @HanftMeredith]

@HanftSteven Students get engaged. Students who may never speak up, have a chance to be “heard”

[Meredith Hanft @HanftMeredith]

@DrCaslerFailing I’ve started doing more of this. It is tremendously effective. You get much more buy-in.

[Meredith Hanft @HanftMeredith]

@HanftSteven I don’t either. We talk about it and appropriate uses and the repercussions of inappropriate usage. I would like to find ways to include it.

[Meredith Hanft @HanftMeredith]

@DrCaslerFailing That’s me! My students call me extra. I’ll take it!

[Meredith Hanft @HanftMeredith]

@moree_allie Yes! Teaching them about our own personal code switching is a great way to connect with students.

[Meredith Hanft @HanftMeredith]

“... a distinction must be made between code switching and teaching students to be unnaturally like others for acceptance.” Ch 10- This is so important #4wf8333

[Meredith Hanft @HanftMeredith]

@DrCaslerFailing @GsuStu23 I agree wholeheartedly. We have a responsibility to teach our students about social media.

[Meredith Hanft @HanftMeredith]

I also got a kick out of when Emdin’s students called him out for yelling. I could relate as I am just very loud in general. It’s not for everyone as he points out. #4wf8333

[Meredith Hanft @HanftMeredith]

Hi everyone! #4wf8333

[Meredith Hanft @HanftMeredith]

Good evening, all! “See” you again on the 10th! #4wf8333

[Meredith Hanft @HanftMeredith]

@JasmineK0214 I try to find ways to incorporate creativity and a comfortable environment early on using writing standards. It helps me to keep them interested and engaged when we get moving through other standards.

[Meredith Hanft @HanftMeredith]

@moree_allie I see that for sure. I try to phrase it as “Let’s split this...” and go from there. I try not to be bossy, but make it as a paired effort. It’s “our class”.

[Meredith Hanft @HanftMeredith]

I learned after one difficult semester to make my expectations clear for coteaching. Makes a huge difference. Plus finding ways to involve my coteacher on a day I am teaching. Draw them into the lesson or convo. #4wf8333
