Today was a great day at Legacy High School. Meeting with parents and students to stay on track for graduation is a powerful moment of teamwork! #learnbps

Yessss, summer heat. Have to climb on top of my laundry game hardcore so clothes don’t go stinky in the washer before I remember to hit them up in the dryer. Could I put inventing a washer that won’t go musty in the heat onto someone’s to do list?

You think Taurus wagons will be the nouveau hipster car to take to prom in ten years? Will be a sad day for Gen Xers.

@carrielpederson How did I not see this tweet earlier? Mother trucker. Road trip!!

Thank you everyone for joining my Twitter Tues takeover! I appreciate all of your inspiring thoughts and willingness to share. Here we come, Wednesday! Watch out for excited teachers :0) #learnbps

Q5: I really had to think about this to come up with a student. It took me back to Mad About You when Reiser & Hunt decided to tell people how much they cared about them rather than wait. I want to advocate for students more IN FRONT of them in hopes they feel valued #learnbps

[Emily Jacobsen @wordnerd58]

@MrsNehls This is REALLY powerful

[Emily Jacobsen @wordnerd58]

Q5: Taken from “Culturize” by Jimmy Casas, when was the last time you advocated for a student? What was the result? #learnbps

[Emily Jacobsen @wordnerd58]

Q4: When you were a student, how did you feel when an adult championed or advocated for your best interests? #learnbps

[Emily Jacobsen @wordnerd58]

Q3: How can new school year excitement be re-engaged later on? #learnbps

[Emily Jacobsen @wordnerd58]

Q2: How do you know the reality of the school year has hit? #learnbps

[Emily Jacobsen @wordnerd58]

A1: I LOVE seeing students' eyes sparkle with eager anticipation. I also smile when they groan about coming back, but you can tell it's a obligatory front. #learnbps

[Emily Jacobsen @wordnerd58]

Q1: What is your favorite part of a beginning school year? #learnbps

[Emily Jacobsen @wordnerd58]

Welcome to Twitter Tuesday! Let's chat about continuing the excitement that we had at the beginning of the school year. #learnbps

[Emily Jacobsen @wordnerd58]

@InnovatorPat And that really defines “what seriously could be the worst that happens?” Oh, it didnt work and so you tried again? Doesnt seem so scary at all

[Emily Jacobsen @wordnerd58]

A4: I always aim to be open and direct about my thoughts with my students. No student has ever been rude after I said that my feelings were hurt over a tough situation in class. After I took the leap to vulnerably share my feelings, we just talked like regular humans #learnbps

[Emily Jacobsen @wordnerd58]

A3: To model vulnerabilty we need to have an open & continuous conversation with students. We need to be able to verbalize our emotions. “I was really anxious about trying this new thing, but I did it anyways to see what would happen...” #learnbps

[Emily Jacobsen @wordnerd58]

A2: Teachers are no different than students. We don’t want to be hurt or judged. We all need to have trust in another for vulnerability to happen. #learnbps

[Emily Jacobsen @wordnerd58]

A1: Judgement. Kids want to belong and feel good about what they so. #learnbps
