@EAlbrecht77 A7) Go for it!! Don't be afraid to try (and maybe fail). Don't be afraid of the joker. Start small. Be creative. Embrace the idea of growth. #20wildcardgpde @EAlbrecht77 @ktbhiggins

@kaylasegura7 @EAlbrecht77 @K_T_Bee This is the truth!! Time to say goodbye to the Joker!#20wildcardgpde @EAlbrecht77 @K_T_Bee

@EAlbrecht77 A7: Taking chances for the benefit of our students. Doing the same thing year after year doesn't inspire anyone to greatness. Dare to be different, and take chances! #20wildcardgpde @EAlbrecht77 @K_T_Bee

@CoachLong21 @EAlbrecht77 @ktbhiggins @CoachLong21 I always give high-fives as the kids enter the room or after lunch while they are lining up. Such a simple thing that brings smiles to their faces and pumps them up! @K_T_Bee @EAlbrecht77 #20wildcardgpde

@ktbhiggins A6: Choice and variety of assignment options is one key strategy I will use. I want to empower students to make their learning their own, and to be as creative and inventive as possible. #20wildcardgpde @EAlbrecht77 @K_T_Bee

@rochelleklamm @EAlbrecht77 @K_T_Bee My middle school students love cheers and goofy chants too! Funny how much they have in common! #20wildcardgpde @EAlbrecht77 @K_T_Bee

@EAlbrecht77 A5: Celebration boards for student work, share time for our biggest win of the week, and high 5's given for 90% or better on tests and quizzes are a few, but I'm always looking for more! #20wildcardgpde @EAlbrecht77 @K_T_Bee

A4: I began teaching because I wanted to help students and their families. This influences me to work hard to influence both positively. I believe that every student deserves a great teacher, so I need to be that teacher.

[Kyle Golden @KyleGolden20]

@ktbhiggins A4: I went into teaching for the students, and that is still what drives me today. Their energy is contagious, and it motivates me to be my best everyday! #20wildcardgpde @EAlbrecht77 @K_T_Bee

[Kyle Golden @KyleGolden20]

@kaylasegura7 @EAlbrecht77 @K_T_Bee I feel the same way, we all need to look for more ways to hand control over to students! #20wildcardgpde @EAlbrecht77 @K_T_Bee

[Kyle Golden @KyleGolden20]

@EAlbrecht77 A3: Empowerment is a huge challenge. It is a difficult thing trying to get middle school students to take control of their own learning, handing over control can be scary! #20wildcardgpde @EAlbrecht77 @K_T_Bee

[Kyle Golden @KyleGolden20]

@ktbhiggins For me the big barrier is fear. Fear of losing control of my students, of looking bad in front of my colleagues or principle, and fear that whatever I try will not work. This is a big reason why it is so important to support other teachers. #20wildcardgpde @EAlbrecht77 @K_T_Bee

[Kyle Golden @KyleGolden20]

@LangeCrewPlusU @EAlbrecht77 This is so true! Youtube is a powerful tool for teachers, the possibilities are endless to keep students engaged! #20wildcardgpde @EAlbrecht77 @K_T_Bee

[Kyle Golden @KyleGolden20]

@EAlbrecht77 A1: Dare to be different. Even of we are in a distance learning model, we need to continue to look for fun and interesting ways to engage our students. Whatever you do, do it with passion! #20wildcardgpde
