@kmkoelsch Wow! Thank you so much! I am so fortunate to have the FCPS community as colleagues & friends over the years. Pushing me to be a better educator AND a better human. Thank you. And, @kmkoelsch you live down the street. 😄 you’re still stuck with me!

#NoVaedchat! Thanks for sharing ideas! So appreciated the conversation and ideas. My youngest has been (mostly) patiently waiting to read me a story she wrote. Centering that relationship and saying good night!

[Andrea Hand @AndreaHand2]

A6 - I love the idea (Q5 resource) of reflecting on who am I talking to/not talking? What do I know about my students? And then being intentional in connecting with students based on this reflection. Process-based, not just a one time action. #NoVAedchat

@oldbay84 The first part of your response asks is the S hard to reach or is it the things that you are doing as a T. The perspective this brings about distance - I wasn't clear what causes the distance you name.

[Andrea Hand @AndreaHand2]

@BetaBorsos I've seen this idea! I feel like like this is 'data analysis' extrapolated! Have you uncovered anything that surprised you? #NoVAEdChat

[Andrea Hand @AndreaHand2]

A3 If we ask kids what is working/helping their learning, we can do more of that. And, if we ask what is not working, we can do less of that. If we ask kids about their lives, we can know them better and tailor experiences to their interests/strengths/needs. #NoVAedchat

[Andrea Hand @AndreaHand2]

@B_A_Valentine If relationships are respectful, they can't be forced. I appreciate you naming that people aren't problems to solve. We all have 'things' - to include strengths. No one should be identified by their weaknesses as the dominating narrative. #NoVAechat

[Andrea Hand @AndreaHand2]

@TechyMargaret Correction - feed-forward! :)

[Andrea Hand @AndreaHand2]

@TechyMargaret I love how you are proactively asking for feedback that guides next steps. Student to teacher feed back! #NoVAEdChat

[Andrea Hand @AndreaHand2]

@B_A_Valentine Yesss to this! And students as generators and creators that can positively impact their community (today...not just later on)! #NoVAEdChat

[Andrea Hand @AndreaHand2]

@cquincyteach I once read a definition of success that said (something like) - success is having the strategies to set your own goal(s) & make progress to achieve them. I love how you have captured how the 'feeling' of success can't be defined by others. It's relative & personal! #NoVAEdChat

[Andrea Hand @AndreaHand2]

A2: Be curious about my students & embed opportunities for Ss to get to know one another, me, and share about themselves in a safe environment. Also, multiple ways to communicate; not everyone is comfortable F2F. When we know one another better = success. #NoVAedchat

[Andrea Hand @AndreaHand2]

@AbbeyFMiller If learning really is moving towards something that we can't already do on our own (ie, zone of proximal development) --> learning is vulnerable! So resonate with everything you and Dr. Comer! #NoVAEdChat
