First Veteran Teachers and today Beginning Teachers. One week is not enough to say YOU ARE APPRECIATED for your countless hours, work and dedication to the students and community you serve. The future is in great hands! #WeAreWatauga
@mrbbettis A student should never feel "left out" because of where they are from or what resources, internet access, are available to them. Successful learning should always be the goal. Providing resources to promote success is key.
Q3- Remote learning/teaching has required us to view the whole child and their experiences. WE have had to create assignments that allow equal access to all students no matter what they "have" or where they live. #WCSEdChat
@mrbbettis Some are based on academic needs but more importantly, but some are based on the resources available to students in any location allowing the students to be successful no matter where a student is able to work.
Q2- Cooperative learning has been beneficial. Using "breakout rooms" online and groups in person have been ways for students to work together for joint success. #WCSEdChat
Thank you all for showing respect and commitment to the students and staff of #WeAreWatauga. Thank you for taking the time to #WCSEdChat with us today.
A1-I am always going to remember the commitment that #WeAreWatauga showed the community through this tough time. The leadership, and educators took a tough situation and made a lasting impact on the community as a whole. #WCSedchat
Good Afternoon and welcome to the last #WCSEdChat of this school year. Please introduce yourself. I'm Patrick Sukow, Principal, Blowing Rock School. #WeAreWatauga
#wcsedchat A2- I hope that we have learned that no two students are the same. Different circumstances, surroundings, instructional tools, social and emotional needs etc. have to be acknowledged to truly make education equitable.
#wcsedchat A1- I plan to make an effort to thank teachers more often. Sometimes I think teachers have been taken for granted. I hope that is never the case again!
#wcsedchat A2 I am grateful for the strength and adaptability of @WataugaSchools staff members and their ability to overcome obstacles to provide and create positive learning experiences for the students.
#wcsedchat A1 When people ask you what you do for a living and you say "I am a teacher!" That means you are changing the world. YOU ARE A DIFFERENCE MAKER!
