[Howsonhistory @Howsonhistory]

Y'all!!! Thank you @Gilder_Lehrman ❤️🤍💙 I am speechless and beyond excited!!! #HTOY Thank you to those that support my classroom "FLAIR" @TxSocialStudies @BeltonISD and my first support who molded me into who I am first as a student and then a teacher @AldineHistory

[Howsonhistory @Howsonhistory]

@PalosClass Love the idea of informal meetups!

[Howsonhistory @Howsonhistory]

A7 my brain has been working over time on some amazing outreach programs!! And I cannot wait to get them started!! @TxSocialStudies #sschat

[SocialStudiesTx @socialstudiestx]

Last Question!! @SSChatNetwork #sschat

[Howsonhistory @Howsonhistory]

A6 You see that cool thing my class just did? It came from learning from others and you can learn it to by going to the conferences, joining the groups, clicking the social media posts! #sschat

[SocialStudiesTx @socialstudiestx]

Question 6 @SSChatNetwork #sschat

[TX Social Studies @TxSocialStudies]

If we could - our council would love to slow time down for every one at these amazing conferences —- not as an escape but for the chance to savor every bit of the experience and to then to return back to scheduled programming. #sschat

[Howsonhistory @Howsonhistory]

@reallymrst You are speaking the truth! I have started to apply for more teacher institutes that are all paid for, and I treat those as my own mini vacation 😅while getting to collaborate and network and learn...lol

@ShaunaIsHistory

[Howsonhistory @Howsonhistory]

@MrsC_Will @historyherway @NCSSNetwork Neither do we. And our k-12 SS coordinator also does the foreign languages for the district 😬 he is definitely stretched thin

[Howsonhistory @Howsonhistory]

A5 O have attended numerous state ones hosted by @TxSocialStudies and connected with teachers that continue to help me. I was fortunate to go to 3 @NCSSNetwork in my career and hope to go to more. Luckily social media helps me network and learn too!

Question 5 @SSChatNetwork #sschat

[Shane Gower @MrShaneGower]

A2 chats like this, attend your state conference, attend @NCSSNetwork conference! The best collaboration for me has come from folks I met here and worked with at the national conference! Summer PD as well, NEH, Gilder, WW2 museum, etc #sschat

[Howsonhistory @Howsonhistory]

@socialstudiestx @SSChatNetwork @TxSocialStudies Woo hoo!! Can't wait to hear!

[Howsonhistory @Howsonhistory]

A4 #sschat @SSChatNetwork introduced me to soooo many people who have been a huge support for me in not just teaching but life. They have become friends. They have lofted my spirits when my campus seemed to be collapsing. I am so grateful for the people of @TxSocialStudies

[SocialStudiesTx @socialstudiestx]

And now... question 4 @SSChatNetwork #sschat

[Howsonhistory @Howsonhistory]

This organization has definitely added value to my teaching! It has shaped so much of who I am as a teacher!

[TX Social Studies @TxSocialStudies]

@socialstudiestx @SSChatNetwork A4: As a state council it is a challenge to reach out to all teachers, and this is something that require conitnuous improvement. Our goal is to add value to a teacher’s personal and professional growth. #sschat

[Howsonhistory @Howsonhistory]

@TxSocialStudies @socialstudiestx @SSChatNetwork And you guys definitely have for me and so many others that I know!

[Howsonhistory @Howsonhistory]

@BSmithEducator @socialstudiestx @SSChatNetwork Yes!!! We cannot teach in a bubble!!

[Dalton Savage @mrdaltonsavage]

A4) Leadership opportunities (@OKCHE), networking and conferences (@historyed), and the inclusion of relevant and inclusive curricular resources in my former days as a classroom teacher. #historymatters #sschat

[CherylAnne Amendola 🍎 @historyherway]

A4: I can't even begin to say how much I've grown because of local & national councils, iCivics Ednet, GLI, WAMS-- I love to learn & I love being with other learners. I'm a better teacher because I've been lucky to surround myself with other passionate educators! #sschat

[Howsonhistory @Howsonhistory]

@socialstudiestx @SSChatNetwork @TxSocialStudies Yep! I got my google doc going of ideas to share!

[Howsonhistory @Howsonhistory]

@PalosClass @socialstudiestx @MrMattCampbell @SSChatNetwork Oh man....I loved this show so much!!

[Howsonhistory @Howsonhistory]

@historyherway @socialstudiestx We definitely need each other!!
