A4: You never really get to know your students or co-workers because everyday you learn something new from them. Interacting with students during breakfast or having lunch with your co-worker are opportunities to build genuine relationships.

A3: My student struggled with the loss of their mom. When structuring my activities I made sure to include all family members and not just one parent. I learned to be mindful of how a simple activity can affect the emotional state of my students.

A2: My students hidden stories give me a better understanding on how to approach them and what their triggers might be. Building student relationships will allow you to understand the why to their behavior.

A1: "Why do I teach?" My purpose to educate and inspire students to keep on learning. I love what I do and when students put their learned skills into practice I am reminded of the impact I leave on students.

@HCISDdigilearn A4: My morning routine consists of welcoming students as they come in. Students interact with one another and it allows me to get to know them a bit more with the stories they share with their peers.

@HCISDdigilearn A2:My 1st year of teaching I've learned that some behavior issues stem from issues students may be experiencing at home. Building that student rapport and teaching them how to turn a negative into a positive is key.

@HCISDdigilearn @HarlingenCISD A1: What comes to mind is a person's genuine and meaningful experience. My 1st year teaching would be personal and authentic. This was a year of growth and full of experiences.
