@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl@rita_goss@AndrewBuchheit @MrPostGFHS A4. I like “don’t wait for others to change”. I want to live as ghandi said “be the change you want to see in the world”! Also not dwelling on problems or negative what ifs.
Instead we can say “what if today my students and I have an amazing day!!” #PWCSBuidingBridges
@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl@rita_goss@AndrewBuchheit @MrPostGFHS A3. My biggest hope is that when students and other teachers think of me they think... she really enjoyed teaching, she loved learning, she truly cared about us, she believed that we all could be what we wanted to be, she was nerdy 🤓 #pwcsbuildingbridges
@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl@rita_goss@AndrewBuchheit @MrPostGFHS A2. I try to communicate with other grade level teachers to see what is working, strategies and ideas that are successful, work with other teachers to try new strategies. I could do better at reaching out to other schools to see what they do as well #pwcsbuildingbridges
@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl@rita_goss@AndrewBuchheit @MrPostGFHS A1. I would like to read more, make healthier food and exercise choices, make the best of any situation, develop stronger relationships with all students, be a stronger person mentally and believe in myself and others #pwcsbuildingbridges
@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl@DeniseHuebner2 @Mrs_Treichler Deb Ellis our AP started this cute idea. She called it our C.O.W. And named a culturizer of the week ☺️ Then the next week that culturizer is responsible for naming someone else or shouting out someone else for being a culturizer. It goes in our weekly eagles news👍
@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl@DeniseHuebner2 @Mrs_Treichler A4. I get excited about teaching. I really enjoy the aha moments. I truly enjoy what I do and love when I can make learning and content enjoyable. I like when students feel successful! #pwcsbuildingbridges
@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl@DeniseHuebner2 @Mrs_Treichler A3.I’ve had so many wonderful experiences it is hard to choose. This is one. A girlie had moved to our school and she tried to be a tough cookie. Instead of being upset, I took time to talk to her and get to know her. She opened up and gave school her all.#pwcsbuildingbridges
@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl@DeniseHuebner2 @Mrs_Treichler A2. We can continue to stay positive ourselves! Lending a helping hand, compliment each other, smile, try to spread an amazing energy that can inspire others to feel good and just be kind to one another. #pwcsbuildingbridges
@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl@DeniseHuebner2 @Mrs_Treichler A1. Adults can continue to be examples for our students. Let’s try to give each student another chance each day. #PWCSbuildingbridges
@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl@TheColon_s@AJTechSuper@_MarkMcElwee A5. Showing that you love what you do. Inviting more high school students to our schools to volunteer. Providing more opportunities to learn and teach the changing curriculum. Collaborating with other leaders/schools to help each other grow. #pwcsbuildingbridges
@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl@TheColon_s@AJTechSuper@_MarkMcElwee A4. Model a love for learning, be passionate, build student confidence, and show kindness. I see an example of all of these at our school each day. It is from these moments that I get my teaching strength from. They push me to do better and I love what I do! #pwcsbuildingbridges
@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl@TheColon_s@AJTechSuper@_MarkMcElwee A3. Start from scratch. It can be scary, but it is totally worth it. Get input from your students, have them reflect with you. The more they feel valued, the more they are part of the decision making, the more likely they will help each day go well. #pwcsbuildingbridges
@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl@TheColon_s@AJTechSuper@_MarkMcElwee A2.This is a growth area for me. It is not that I'm not thankful, but I may not always express my thanks verbally. I am very grateful for my team, for everyone who has helped make me the teacher I am today and for the smiles that make my day stay positive!#pwcsbuildingbridges
@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl@TheColon_s@AJTechSuper@_MarkMcElwee A1. I know that life is not about being perfect, but about making mistakes and growing from them. One of my favorite quotes "you can't go back and change the past, but you can start where you are and make a new ending". C.S.Lewis. It is hard, but I got this!#pwcsbuildingbridges
@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl @ToddErickson15 @AJTechSuper @Mrs_Treichler A5. We care about each other. We support each other when we are up and down. We give our honest thoughts and discuss our strengths and weakness. We remain flexible and share our joys which is very importance. #pwcsbuildingbridges
@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl @ToddErickson15 @AJTechSuper @Mrs_Treichler Our school newsletter is one of the ways we read and see pictures of the success of staff members at our school! I would love to know more about successes of students and staff members and how that can grow at our school #pwcsbuildingbridges
@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl @ToddErickson15 @AJTechSuper @Mrs_Treichler In class I often encourage students to guide and help each other. I talk about how we are a team and we should try to help each other be successful. Study together, get together outside of school hours to review, help each other focus and stay on track. #pwcsbuildingbridges
@tarakidwell13 @PrincipalAbney @DirectorOpl @ToddErickson15 @AJTechSuper @Mrs_Treichler A2. Untitled leaders want the best for all students and work with others to make progress happen whether big or small. They have the ability to make even a sad day bright and make you feel like it will be a great day! They have big hearts! #pwcsbuildingbridges
