@deem_ellen @ShiftParadigm A5: 1. Take a breath before responding. 2. Ask questions! 3. Read their quickwrites.

@ShiftParadigm A3: The student feels SEEN. #WhatIsSchool. What I wouldn't have given for a teacher to truly have seen me when I was in high school...

[Marie Endres @MarieEndres1]

@ShiftParadigm @deem_ellen Well said!! #WhatIsSchool

[Marie Endres @MarieEndres1]

@ShiftParadigm A2: Unfortunately not enough. I use discussion questions/jamboards a lot in class which help, but there is definitely still too much 'teacher voice' in my classroom. #WhatIsSchool

[Marie Endres @MarieEndres1]

@deem_ellen @ShiftParadigm It doesn't change in HS. Especially when completing a writing assignment. They all suddenly need me for everything! Listen to those that you know need the extra attention, and ensure the others they can accomplish it alone. #WhatIsSchool

[Marie Endres @MarieEndres1]

@deem_ellen @ShiftParadigm It is so hard because we always want to 'solve' whatever problem they are talking about, or reply with our own thoughts about the subject at hand. #WhatIsSchool

@TheTeacherVert @JenWilliamsEdu How does Literary Yoga work? It sounds cool #whatisschool

[Marie Endres @MarieEndres1]

@JenWilliamsEdu A1: I have a combo of the two. 3 of my classes are fully online, and 2 of them are in person. #whatisschool

@ShiftParadigm Hello #whatisschool! I am Marie, a HS English teacher in Michigan! Excited to join.

@SarahBWessling @straight_facs I totally agree with this! I honor questions in my classroom, and it has changed so much for students. I often hear, "Why don't other teachers let us question them?" Answer: idk #mtholyokechat

[Marie Endres @MarieEndres1]

@straight_facs I love creating social contracts with the kids; this often helps them understand why their behavior is not helpful to the classroom. Then, I praise them about something they are really good at (genuine praise) and usually give them a cool job to do for me. #mtholyokechat

@benchase9 @mandysheehan SAME! Breakout rooms are the best! #mtholyokechat

[Marie Endres @MarieEndres1]

@mandysheehan Tell them right away that we are all new to this! Then the imposter syndrome goes away a little bit. Community building starts with a little vulnerability.

Q1: In what ways can we acknowledge the gifts that others have? Why is acknowledging gifts (ours and others) so important?
