@kerisavoca @PrincipalCates @hustletolearn @jillian_damon Right now I just try to model it. Hope it sticks. But I have never seen it addressed well in PD-I have the opportunity to try this year though. Most of the time, this stuff comes up and eyes glaze over and heads roll back. #altedchat

Just activly participated in a twitter chat about Alternative Ed and empathy. Thanks Mike and Katie for the inspiration to grow as a professional. #HSET18 @Teach_MrsB @TeachMrB

@kerisavoca @jillian_damon Back to that rough patch, my principal could not empathize with me despite my honesty. It had a profound impact on me personally and professionally. Which is why I don't only focus on the kids, I spend time listening and empathizing with staff too. #altedchat

[Laura Stibitz @stibitzl]

@VickiRD13 I agree. I had a rough patch a few years ago and I struggled with kids who were experiencing the opposite issue I was. And I just found them a better resource for that time in my life. #altedchat

[Laura Stibitz @stibitzl]

@kerisavoca @PrincipalCates @jillian_damon I wonder this often. I've been in Alt Ed for 15 years and it has always been my skill set. I have seen a few people acquire it but not many. #altedchat

A2: A student once said I was the only one who "got" him. He had anger issues stemming from his dad who left when he was a baby. It was easy to just let him vent because you could feel his frustration. He would not have graduated otherwise. #altedchat

@kerisavoca @jillian_damon A1 Empathy to me means making the time and putting forth the effort to get to know kids and what they are going through. While I can't always understand their struggles I can listen without judgement. #altedchat

Fantastic idea. Trying flipped staff meetings this year. Staff is expected to blend.......I should too.

[Jesse Mardian @Mardian_EdTech]

Stoked to assign our teachers some weekend homework via @edpuzzle. Staff will review video and answer thought-provoking questions on how they intend to implement technology and #blendedlearning within their classrooms!

A quick, low-key way to build community in your classroom on a daily basis.

"Speaking is a part of almost every classroom, but it can be easy to assume that students already know how to do things like challenge an idea or back up an argument with evidence." Why oral communication should be a core part of curriculum: https://t.co/f1pJbfS7s5 #EdChat

I have a district who is looking to purchase @Newsela pro? Any one have any experience with the pro vs free version? #miched #macul #iste #edtech

@lisamurkowski Please vote NO on Betsy DeVos. She has no qualifications and does not care about public education. Alaskans will suffer.
