A5: Filter out the minor negatives. Stay positive and know that it is up to us to set the tone. #VCSGreatTeachers

A4: Clean is easiest for me. It makes me think about how an apology followed by a "but" statement can completely negate the apology. Private praise is challenging because the day is so busy.

Q3: Yes. Venting can help if it is to the right person, someone that can give advice or criticism. Complaining is just negative all the time. #VCSGreatTeachers

A7: I loved the example of a meeting with Fortune 500 company. They would work to make your time engaging and valuable with friendly greetings, ensuring all supplies are ready to go and the agenda is laid out. This was helpful for me as a new teacher! #VCSGreatTeachers
