@TaraMartinEDU A4: Set up some sort of system to get feedback from my students about the school year and my guidance, something more engaging than a google form! May look towards asking ChatGPT, and I’m welcome to any suggestions! #tlap #LIUEdTech

[Melissa John @mjohn1028]

@burgessdave A3: something that gets everyone involved. A scavenger hunt for example, allows students to get out of the classroom for once and work together! #tlap #LIUEdTech

[Melissa John @mjohn1028]

@TaraMartinEDU A2: As I’m early into my teaching career, I have yet to try any in my own classroom. But, during student teaching my 7th graders had Career Projects - picking your own job, house/apartment, car, etc. Building great skills for preparing students for the future! #tlap #LIUEdTech

[Melissa John @mjohn1028]

@burgessdave A1: friendly competition can boost morale! Could be a simple jeopardy game, escape room - something to remind students not to take things too seriously and have a little fun! #tlap #LIUEdTech

@TaraMartinEDU Melissa, math TA from NY and I love anything Italian or Mexican!

BQ: I’m grateful for the relationships I’ve built with my students! As much as they’ve learned from me, I’ve learned from them that every moment is a teachable moment. Something that may seem insignificant to us can be so important to our students! #teachpos #LIUEdTech

[Melissa John @mjohn1028]

A3: Definitely, these concepts require responsibility and active learning which some students struggle with, especially in classes they do not enjoy. Modeling this behavior and providing opportunities helps! #teachpos #LIUEdTech

[Melissa John @mjohn1028]

A2: I chose these because the gap between the skills our students are learning and the skills they need is becoming more obvious. I would pick self advocacy since being independent and confident is all a part of that! #teachpos #LIUEdTech

[Melissa John @mjohn1028]

@oldbay84 love the “you are a math person”
so so important!

[Melissa John @mjohn1028]

A1: I would like my students to remember the importance of advocating for yourself and to be your own cheerleader! Sometimes it just takes believing in ourselves to rise to challenges and achieve our goals. #teachpos #LIUEdTech

@Shapiro_WTHS A special shout out to my professors @whittneysmith_ @Jennmaich who introduced me to twitter chats where I’ve had the opportunity to expand my teacher network and learn from wonderful educators! #teachpos #LIUEdTech

[Melissa John @mjohn1028]

@Shapiro_WTHS A3: try not to dwell, getting things off your chest and talking with close friends and family can help you figure out how to move on
set small goals, despite the setbacks you are having this will allow you to make progress and have more direction and purpose #teachpos #LIUEdTech

[Melissa John @mjohn1028]

@JillianDub7426 thank you!! 😊

[Melissa John @mjohn1028]

A2: When I was applying for student teaching I was told due to the scheduling of classes, I wasn’t able to graduate on time with my class. Instead of accepting the circumstances, I advocated for myself and reached out to department heads, professors and #teachpos #LIUEdTech

[Melissa John @mjohn1028]

@Shapiro_WTHS A1: Changing your perspective of adversity helps, seeing it as an opportunity to learn and grow instead of problematic. Also having systems in place to deal with adversity such as journaling, meditation, reaching out to friends and family for support! #teachpos #LIUEdTech

[Melissa John @mjohn1028]

@Shapiro_WTHS Melissa, TA from NY and I love baking! Major sweet tooth 🍭

[Melissa John @mjohn1028]

A3: By structuring equality in the classroom: with collaborative learning opportunities, active engagement and differentiated instruction. No two students learn in the same way. So it’s up to us to determine which way our students learn the best #teachpos #LIUEdTech
