A2: I'll have to look it up but there was a great documentary on a high school basketball a few years ago... @AimeeTRES

Q3: we have been trying to dedicate 30 minutes at least once a week or so to just silent writing. Kids often get stuck and say they can't write anymore and we encourage them to write THAT down and push through it. @AimeeTRES #TRESbesthope

@AimeeTRES @LauraDavisla Also readworks has some great autobiographies!

[Sarah Scott @SarahScottTRES]

A1: athens has a vibrant hip hip scene with many artists who have a great message. Dr. Love so has a great site https://t.co/MehsYP5cLX that has great resources.@AimeeTRES #TRESbesthope

@EducatorAshiya @AimeeTRES Ashiya I love this. I would cry big tears watching my kiddos graduate. Hope I get the chance.

[Sarah Scott @SarahScottTRES]

@AimeeTRES Yes! Self-talk was my best friend when I taught Pre-k and developing that skill as a teacher has helped so much! I still use it as much as I can in 3rd!

[Sarah Scott @SarahScottTRES]

A3: He uses this metaphor to make the connection that you can't teach someone you can't reach. We have to make connections with challenging or struggling students first. #TRESbesthope @AimeeTRES

@BossyTRES @playne0325 @AimeeTRES I agree. We have to be explicit about what manners are. Also we have to help point out the social importance to them. Too many kids think they should act kind or behave well simply so they don't get in trouble and not for the real reasons. #TRESbesthope

[Sarah Scott @SarahScottTRES]

@rachelcarter418 @AimeeTRES Yes! And being explicit and intentional when modeling manners is so important. Sometimes we as adults are too vague when we talk about manners. We have to teach them what good manners are!

[Sarah Scott @SarahScottTRES]

I also think we should model and teach curiosity and how to be inquisitive; to constantly be wondering and not to take things at face value. #TRESbesthope @AimeeTRES

[Sarah Scott @SarahScottTRES]

@AimeeTRES A2: Stay up on current events especially those that relate to your subject matter. @rfenton_TRES did an awesome lesson on the dakota access pipeline and tied it to our Am. Indian unit. The kids loved it & connected to another culture. #TRESbesthope

[Sarah Scott @SarahScottTRES]

@AimeeTRES A1: Social skills are SO important. We have to explicitly TEACH them and MODEL them to make good community members. Soft skills are what gets you accepted and ahead in life! #TRESbesthope

[Sarah Scott @SarahScottTRES]

@BossyTRES @AimeeTRES This past week I have made an effort to listen more and solve less with my more challenging students. I have learned so much in a short time. I feel like this is a good way to meet them where they are and bridge cultural divides.

[Sarah Scott @SarahScottTRES]

@AimeeTRES Q4: I grew up in very different neighborhood than a lot of the students in Clarke county and I feel like the best solutions for bridging the divide are time, openness and acceptance just like Manny said in the second chapter. = #TRESbesthope

[Sarah Scott @SarahScottTRES]

@AimeeTRES A1: Absolutely. We can "mean well" all day long, but if we are perpetuating oppression in any form by what we say, how we say it, or what we ignore, then we are continuing more of the same instead of healing. #TRESbesthope

[Sarah Scott @SarahScottTRES]

@AimeeTRES @rfenton_TRES Any advice on end of the day meetings when so many students are coming back in the room from interventions? So tough to have continuity and community at the end of the day!
