A5: In all honesty, when my flame grows weak or goes out, I say a prayer so God reminds me why I'm doing this. That always gets the fire going. #122edchat
A4: I think sometimes it's better to be the mirror and reflect all the good things that others are doing. Give a louder voice for those who may not have one. #122edchat
A2: I haven't given up on #learnlap. It's a work in progress, but I won't give up on the idea that my students will enjoy learning more if they are in control. #122edchat
A1: I try to instill this message in my students, it's better to fix a problem, than to point the blame. It's a little bit harder with adults :-) #122edchat
Hello friends, @JamesHeniff checking in. I teach 6th grade science at Simmons Middle School in Oak Lawn, Il. Glad to be here, maybe this is how I light up the darkness. #122edchat

Yes, my name is one of the 1.1 million names riding the Parker #SolarProbe. How could it not be? I'll be following with so much interest for the 7-year mission. Thanks, @NASA, for giving the public a chance to become involved in this way.
Add planet gazing to your evening plans! ๐ Tonight, Mars will be 35.8 million miles from Earth, which is the closest it has been to Earth in 15 years, making it a perfect opportunity to spot the Red Planet in clear skies. Details: https://t.co/1yKi0VsXno
Sitting kids in rows all day and controlling exactly where they need to go, what they need to do, and how they need to do it is not preparing them for the real world. Education should not be about complete control--it should be about managing controlled chaos. #reinventhighschool
A5: At my age, I love to be reminded of how it was to be at that awkward age. I enjoy making them laugh, oh, and I'm pretty sure they're learning something too. #122edchat
Q6: When people feel valued, they will do almost anything to succeed. What are you doing to create a culture of appreciation in your class and with your staff? #122edchat
