A7: We discuss "getting things wrong". I have found more so since moving to third grade that they are afraid to answer incorrectly. We discuss how we ALL get things wrong from time to time but its how we react that matters. We move forward together. #VCSGreatTeachers
A6: The difference was their focus. The schools with better scores focused not only on the scores but on social aspects and characteristics as well. They focused on student achievement. #VCSGreatTeachers
A5. Peer observation helps you to reflect on your own teaching. When observing you can pick up useful strategies and solve issues that arise in your own teaching. I believe it should be standard practice and be suggested as a positive tool not criticism. #VCSGreatTeachers
A4: I think when you see those teachable moments, you take advantage of them. This will help teach the 'people skills' along with the academics. #VCSGreatTeachers
A8: I want to be more intentional with relationships. I always try my best to focus on this but I really want to solidify our classroom community from day 1 this year. #VCSGreatTeachers
Q6
I wish social media was more accepting and supportive of teachers. I love being able to share smiles, successes, and growth through social media to show the love and learning being done in my classroom!

A5: we can filter our comments and thoughts into a positive or negative light. It would be easy to talk about what's going wrong but if we filter we can foster a more positive environment. #VCSGreatTeachers
A3: Yes. I think venting allows you to get something off your chest that is causing you stress. Complaining is continually having something bad to say about things. #VCSGreatTeachers
#VCSGreatTeachers A7: We blame ourselves, accept responsibility, and make a plan. If we all accept responsibility, then we can grow together to make our school better.
