@KellySoliz@Nechamkin I think autobiographical books are really good for history students. When kids can learn about people of the past, it could potentially inspire them in the future.
@KellySoliz@Nechamkin Agree! You can definitely see this with engaging creative lessons, especially when your colleagues compete to solve a problem...Bush library situation room!
@Nechamkin@TechNinjaTodd @mradamwelcome @KellySoliz I would love to catch a @TPWDbass Sharelunker bass! It’s been a dream of mine quite awhile. I also want to continue to inspire kids today to have a passion for the outdoors.
@Nechamkin@TechNinjaTodd @mradamwelcome @KellySoliz I like to utilize what was stated from a prior thread about trusting the process. There are times when we might fail at something but you have to believe that with hard work and effort you can accomplish whatever you want to. Failure is mostly a state of mind.
@Nechamkin@TechNinjaTodd @mradamwelcome @KellySoliz Always believe that’s it’s gonna be alright, and know that the grind and trials you go through help in the long run. I always remember a quote from my HS weight room...”Pain is temporary, Pride is Forever”... Don’t know who 1st coined that phrase, but it’s a good thought.
@Nechamkin@TechNinjaTodd @mradamwelcome @KellySoliz Giving notes of encouragement is great and verbally affirming someone is also a good idea. You can also remember the little things that people tell you about themselves and use those things in future conversations with that person. It shows you care about that individual.
@Nechamkin@TechNinjaTodd @mradamwelcome @KellySoliz I enjoy the challenge of getting kids that may not have an interest in the subject that you teach to want to learn more about it, and eventually take ownership of their education.
@KellySoliz@Nechamkin W2 A4- I think opening doors for kids begins with thinking about ways to inspire them to learn more about anything! Like @CoachPittsMJHS said, @Flipgrid helps them create digital experiences they can review and critique. On the other hand, let them experience nature!
@KellySoliz@Nechamkin W2 A2- Little things are those things that matter the most in the long run. I remember my great teachers and the little things they did to get my attention and keep me engaged in the learning process much more than the content they taught.
@CoachPittsMJHS @KellySoliz@Nechamkin W2 A1-I agree with @CoachPittsMJHS . Leave all that stuff in the car and have a great attitude every day. Exercise is very important and getting a workout at practice in the morning helps set the tone for the day and helps you have the energy to be the best you can be for kids.
@CoachPittsMJHS @Nechamkin@KellySoliz A5: I reiterate what @CoachPittsMJHS says about building relationships with students. You really do have to show them you care to get their buy in. #WylieLearns#WylieBookStudy
