@am_goyette Alison, You are right, Learning in the open is hard. Letting go of your ideas without seeing someone's direct reaction makes it an uneasy process. It was frustrating at first, but being part of a supportive team made it easier.
@KidsDeserveIt Q4: I think it's important for the principal to be around. They should be in the classrooms, interact with the students. The best boss I've ever had ran a restaurant. He worked as hard as us, he was a team player, and a leader. They should model that.
@KidsDeserveIt A2 #kidsdeserveit I try to use my own stories to teach the kids. Some life lessons I had to learn I can share with them. I think its the little things you say to them that add up, maybe not one story itself
@KidsDeserveIt#kidsdeserveit A1: My students love artwork, music and dance. I try to greet them with a friendly face and also ask how they are all doing. They loved exploring Google Earth today.
@KidsDeserveIt Q1: I try to connect with my students using activities that will engage them. Today I used Google Earth for an online learning experience, and they loved it. We made closepin citizens, and they loved that as well. Artwork seems to be a key keeping them interested.
@am_goyette I agree, and often that comes out during teaching. When you change plans, or turn around because your gut is telling you that something needs to change.
I am trying to include more growth mindset language in my classroom, and I try to praise the process with the students. I will admit, it is challenging to find the right language but resources with direct examples are most helpful. #GSC612702
#GSC612702 When we talk about growth mindset and change within ourselves, I think it is important to remember what we are now. We can always work on things, but we also need to recognize what we did well in the moment. My students enjoyed this song today:
