#G2Great @tlanglie Q2: As a teacher, you are the person who students look up to. It is important to create those relationships with your students so they know you want to support them and that you care about them.

[Jerica Friese @MissFriese]

#CCED421paras Q8: SPED paras have specific training to help deescalate behaviors, help with specific needs, and how to offer SEL support. For title 1 paras, you need the MN requirements. @LanglieTeri

[Jerica Friese @MissFriese]

#CCED421para Q7: SPED paras and Title 1 paras are different as SPED paras are found in schools with special education services, while Title 1 paras are found at title 1 schools only. @LanglieTeri

[Jerica Friese @MissFriese]

#CCED421para Q6: Being collaborative with your para is very important. I have not seen techniques when working with a para because it is always for such a short amount of time. @LanglieTeri

[Jerica Friese @MissFriese]

#CCED421para Q5: Having a para in the classroom is very beneficial. They help those striving students who may need an extra hand as well as help teachers. @LanglieTeri

[Jerica Friese @MissFriese]

#CCED421para Q2: Paras must have initial training in procedures, roles, responsibilities, policies, etc. They must also have a credential and be qualified. @LanglieTeri

[Jerica Friese @MissFriese]

#CCED421para Q4: Although I have not seen this, paras are often supervised by the principal or interventionist. @LanglieTeri

[Jerica Friese @MissFriese]

#CCED421para Q3: The teachers and paras do not collaborate very often, besides when the para comes in to check in during work time and at staff meetings. @LanglieTeri

[Jerica Friese @MissFriese]

#CCED421para Paras are utilized in my classroom not very regularly. One para will come in during math work time for a short period of time but that is usually it. Only having two paras throughout the whole school is difficult. @LanglieTeri

#ED421plc
Q6: I don’t believe there are downsides to PLCs as they are important in the development of teachers. Having meetings every week not only allows for school collaboration but a check in with all the teachers and staff. @LanglieTeri

[Jerica Friese @MissFriese]

#ED421plc
Q5: What surprised me about PLCs at my school is that they are every week and differ in agendas from week to week. They are very beneficial to growing as teachers. @LanglieTeri

[Jerica Friese @MissFriese]

#ED421plc
Q4: Some ideas I have received from attending PLCs include how to map curriculum in a way that is easily accessible, easily read, and easy to follow along with. I have also learned the importance of collaboration and working as a whole school. @LanglieTeri

[Jerica Friese @MissFriese]

#ED421plc
Q3: Everyone is able to share their thoughts and give feedback. I have noticed that everyone is comfortable sharing their ideas, even if they differ from others @LanglieTeri

[Jerica Friese @MissFriese]

#ED421plc
Q2: PLCs are led by different people depending on the week. Once a month there is a whole staff meeting led by administrators. Other weeks are teacher-led and usually with your grade level @LanglieTeri

[Jerica Friese @MissFriese]

#ED421plc
Q1: PLCs are used for teachers to collaborate and share their ideas on specific tasks. Some of those tasks that I have seen include curriculum mapping and student track testing @LanglieTeri

A6: There are so many different sources that have positives. Flip, Wakelet, Jamboard are just a few that come to mind that allow students to share their thinking @LanglieTeri #OK2Ask

[Jerica Friese @MissFriese]

A5: Technology offers a lot of benefits for students. They are able to access many different sources and new information that allows them to critically think @LanglieTeri #OK2Ask

[Jerica Friese @MissFriese]

@mbedchat1 A5: I think technology is advancing more all the time and has an impact in the classroom. There are many different ways to utilize technology in the classroom and many are already starting to be used (like iPads in the classroom) @LanglieTeri #mbedchat

[Jerica Friese @MissFriese]

@mbedchat1 A4: I believe games that are curriculum based are good ways to help students learn while also having fun. Games can be learning tools and not just looked at as rewards. @LanglieTeri #mbedchat
