A2: I think lack of time will be the biggest road block that I will face as a teacher. Before becoming an educator, I hope to expand my time management skills and discover new ways to combat this issue! #tnedchat

@DaltonMcgowen I would also like to learn more about how to set goals in the classroom! I think it is important to set attainable goals for the students individually and the classroom as a whole! #tnedchat

A1: I would like to learn more about the use of technology in the classroom, how to grow my professional learning network, and how to implement flexible seating in the classroom. #tnedchat

Hello, my name is Sara Williams. I am a student at Austin Peay State University, and I am pursing a degree for K-5 education! #tnedchat

A5) If I decided to stop teaching, I would stay in the education field. I would like to be either an academic coach or a principal! #ap3040

A3) I found it interesting that in CMCSS, I would have to teach for 26 years in order to make $60,000. After doing more research, I was surprised to see that Roberston County is compensated significantly less than CMCSS. #ap3040

@DaltonMcgowen I think setting clear boundaries is a great idea. Although we will have to bring work home, its important to also create and keep up with other things that make us happy!

[Sara Williams @SaraWilliams00]

I would set attainable goals for myself at the beginning of the year. I would reward myself for any and all achievements that I would accomplish #ap3040

[Sara Williams @SaraWilliams00]

@GracieBarrett_ Yes, lack of support is definitely a reason that teachers quit!

[Sara Williams @SaraWilliams00]

A1) New teachers quit because the majority believe that it is very high stress. There is a lot of pressure for teachers because of standardized testing. #ap3040

Good morning everyone, my name is Sara Williams and my favorite book is either The Kite Runner or The Road. #ap3040

[Sara Williams @SaraWilliams00]

A7) I would describe my favorite teachers as invested, caring, and knowledgeable. #ap3040

[Sara Williams @SaraWilliams00]

A6) Three words I would use to describe an ineffective teacher would be unorganized, uninterested, and inaccessible. #ap3040

[Sara Williams @SaraWilliams00]

A4) I would immediately start doing research on techniques to help create a more inclusive and beneficial environment. I would give accommodations to the student based on their individual needs and personal goals. #ap3040

[Sara Williams @SaraWilliams00]

A3)With behavior, academic, or motivational issues, I would pull students aside after class or during recess and have a private, calm discussion about the issues we are facing. I would lay out the options and consequences to their actions. #ap3040

[Sara Williams @SaraWilliams00]

@GracieBarrett_ I loved when my teachers did this! It is easy to be discouraged when you see red ink across your entire paper, so giving positive encouragement is a great idea!

[Sara Williams @SaraWilliams00]

A2) In middle school, we talked about what we wanted to be in the future with the class. We created a plan of action in order to achieve our ambitions and tried to find people in the community that shared our goals and what beneficial traits they had. #ap3040

[Sara Williams @SaraWilliams00]

@DaltonMcgowen I agree that along with being invested in the classroom, it is also important to be invested outside the classroom as well. Students should know that you care at all times, not just when it is convenient for you.

[Sara Williams @SaraWilliams00]

A1) I would create a common culture in the classroom for my students. I would make it clear that I am open to their ideas and interested in their thoughts and perspectives. I would also be sure to create an environment that is accepting to all students. #ap3040

My major is elementary education. My biggest role model is my mom. She was a teacher, an academic coach, and is now a principal. She inspires me to push myself and to one day become an effective teacher. #ap3040
