A5: That is double the support! A parent not on the teacher's side can lead to a student not being on the teacher's side as well. It can create a negative relationship with the student! #3rdchat

A4: I haven't experienced this being a preservice T, but I know that at the preschool I work at we try to sandwich it if there is an issue. Tell something positive, tell them the issue, then tell something positive. #3rdchat

[Kelsey Rector @kelseyrector23]

A3: Encouraging always! Also, not grading the first attempt. Instead of putting a grade, give them feedback and give them a chance to show you they can do better! It is a learning trajectory! #3rdchat

[Kelsey Rector @kelseyrector23]

A2: The classroom should look warm and inviting. It should be an organized chaos, where students are learning but also having fun at the same time! #3rdchat

[Kelsey Rector @kelseyrector23]

A1: Students need to trust their teachers. It is SO critical for a positive relationship. Love first, teach second! #3rdchat

A5: I’m not in a school yet, but these chats make me more and more excited to be! #21stedchat

[Kelsey Rector @kelseyrector23]

A4: I am not sure of an answer for this, but teacher’s feedback on the PLC would be helpful for planning the next one! Just like feeling things out in a classroom, you may have to monitor and adjust based on the feedback. #21stedchat

[Kelsey Rector @kelseyrector23]

A3: Finding a time to meet might be a challenge for teachers! #21stedchat

[Kelsey Rector @kelseyrector23]

A2: I haven’t experienced either, since I am a preservice T, but I would assume a PLC would be more structured! #21stedchat

[Kelsey Rector @kelseyrector23]

A1: The collaboration is so important. Especially between teachers. They need opportunities to share their awesome ideas, help and support each other! #21stedchat

This is SO important! It IS people, not programs, that truly make a difference! Sometimes a mandatory approach to a program kills good teachers’ ability to do great things! @TaraMartinEDU #BookSnaps #SGESDoves
