"They may not remember your mission statement....They will remember that you always had their back"

A great summary of what a truly great educational leader should be....

The internet needs to be made a "subject" in schools. This cannot be "taught" but it can be learned by children using SOLEs. After years of saying this, Finland seems to have listened.

The best teachers don’t always have the best lessons, but they always have the best relationships with kids.

@ElissaGelleny A3: A weird feeling of trepidation putting yourself on display for all your peers to see. I feel that everything has to be just perfect or I can't hit publish. #cohort21

[Andrew Forti @mr_forti]

@ElissaGelleny A2: Two reasons:

1) Relief that others are facing the same difficulties I am. It's nice to know we're all in it together.
2) Incredible ideas and resources that have already been tweaked and refined to near perfection

Hi all....here for a bit until I'm on bedtime duty with my daughter

A1: mostly nervousness but also some excitement to finally get things down

#cohort21

[Andrew Forti @mr_forti]

@msemiliamartin @whitneywoloshyn @JenGravel @maureencurtin1 is also interested!

[Andrew Forti @mr_forti]

@ElissaGelleny @TanyaCatallo Love it. Going to try it on the next Stats test.

@lemthelibrarian A6 - If I can be incredibly specific, and cost isn't a factor.... Felix and Norton's cookies. Looking forward to it! #Cohort21

[Andrew Forti @mr_forti]

@mstinajagdeo A5 - I'll be speaking at a retreat for our Grade 12s in a couple of weeks. I'll be sharing personal stories about my life. Maybe not so risky, but more making myself vulnerable. I find the experience really contributes to that feeling of mutual respect that I strive for #Cohort21

[Andrew Forti @mr_forti]

@mstinajagdeo Nothing as of yet for VC, but the topic definitely keeps coming up, so I'm guessing sometime very soon

[Andrew Forti @mr_forti]

@lemthelibrarian A4 - No support needed. Just need to stop procrastinating and publish already (which, incidentally, is the draft title of my first blog) #Cohort21

[Andrew Forti @mr_forti]

@mstinajagdeo @CISOntario A3 - I've got a very easy going personality which leads to me to have a great rapport with my students. My classrooms are places of mutual respect, which I find minimizes any classroom management issues #Cohort21

[Andrew Forti @mr_forti]

@lemthelibrarian A2 - I'm grateful to be working with fantastic colleagues who are always there when you need a laugh, as well as being privileged to teach a respectful, dedicated student body #Cohort21

[Andrew Forti @mr_forti]

@Think_teach I was Garth last year! Great costume.

[Andrew Forti @mr_forti]

A1 - Andrew Forti from Villanova College here. Still no idea. It'll be a last minute rush tomorrow morning. #Cohort21

If you want to see a teacher’s rapport with students, watch them interact with the kids in the hallway. Those interactions speak volumes.
