@mdjames67 A7: "She's tough, but she cares about us, respects us, and listens to our opinions and perspectives." (One student called me confident the other week, so maybe that too!) #BASDEdChat

@mdjames67 A6: I became an educator because I want to make a positive impact on a future generation, use my own skills and expertise to help students learn (academically, socially, and emotionally), and be an advocate for ELs and all students. #BASDEdChat

@mdjames67 A5: I hope the single most important thing my students learn is how to persevere through (all kinds) of difficulties and challenges and keep trying. The important thing isn't to avoid failure, but to learn how to get back up and try again. #BASDEdChat

@mdjames67 A4: My amazing colleagues in the ESOL department have been a tremendous resource that I am so thankful for! Not only do they have such a wealth of knowledge and experience, but they are so willing to collaborate with, mentor, and support new teachers like me. #BASDEdChat

@mdjames67 A3: My goal for spring semester is to provide more varied activities for diverse learning styles and increased engagement, especially for online/Zoom lessons. Had some successes this semester, but could do better! #BASDEdChat

@mdjames67 A2: My greatest success has been building rapport and positive relationships with my hybrid students. I feel that I have gotten to know my students well and am responding to their needs even when I don't see them everyday. #BASDEdChat

@mdjames67 A1: My biggest challenge has been balancing lesson planning, online and in-person instruction, case management, etc. while adjusting so that I am focusing on what's most important for students when they're in front of me for only 2 days a week. #BASDEdChat
