Listening to Ron Clark is so Inspirational! Great way to kick off NSTA.

[Susie Richerson @slricherson]

So excited to be at NSTA! I get a chance to be a student

@loudlearning @GA_Baer Want good teachers to come join the profession? Then keep the guns out of everything to do with our young minds and school. The idea of more guns makes many, including me, want to run away from this profession because it makes it more dangerous.

@TheBestEvans A8: Never too early and never too late! Always learning, always growing and that makes life so very interesting. #fcsvanguard

@drkengwa @CLCRidgeview I think the success of this has an element of students trusting the teacher in guiding them on the journey. If the students trust you have their best interests in mind, they will persevere through the “boring”. #fcsvanguard

@MsJMath8 A7: Yes Implementing true Inquiry in science. Giving them a question, not the answer and having them work at it, then WRITE about it! It was hard, but I told them to stick with it and TRY. They ended up loving it! The 2nd ADI went so much better. I saw GRIT grow :-) #fcsvanguard

@boddifordteach #fcsvanguard A6 Students need to learn how to set the goals. They think just putting down they will get all A’s in a good goal. Or my favorite “study more”....need teach growth goals....and how to measure them.

[Susie Richerson @slricherson]

@boddifordteach Okay, what I want to teach them! Clearly, not language arts skills :) #fcsvanguard

[Susie Richerson @slricherson]

@boddifordteach I set goals with my little 6th graders 2nd semester. I spend first semester talking to them about goals, my goals in what I want them to teach them. So I try to model. Then ask them to set their own goals 2nd semester. #fcsvanguard

[Susie Richerson @slricherson]

@LizzieG73 Where I find the challenge is students come to me from the previous grade with the expectation that there is one right answer. So they wait for me to give them the answer. They aren’t comfortable with the “unease”.....we practice being uncomfortable a lot #fcsvanguard

[Susie Richerson @slricherson]

@AnuBhardwaj7 This has been a big focus of mine this year as well. Write the answer you think is correct based on your evidence. #fcsvanguard

@GA_Baer First, I talk about perseverance with them. I put it right on the table. Then when it’s a particular difficult task we are working on I call on them to persevere! #fcsvanguard

[Susie Richerson @slricherson]

@GA_Baer Innate YES, and I truly believe it can be taught as well. #fcsvanguard

[Susie Richerson @slricherson]

@DarrenClayEDU @Technitkali I think some people have it innately but I believe everyone can develop it! #fcsvanguard

[Susie Richerson @slricherson]

@shawnmphess Like the part “even if no one else is there to see it” #fcsvanguard
