  • MrsHime Sep 3 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: IMO Ts now have more distractions than my Ts did #oklaed
  • nancy_nwilliams Sep 3 @ 9:08 PM EDT

    A1: Same - don't like to face confrontation, Diff - I CAN face confrontation and am consistent with expectations #oklaed

  • MrsBeck25 - Moderator Sep 3 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1: Nada. I built my entire persona as a T as a complete opposite of the woman left me in the corner for a semester... #oklaed
  • MrsBeck25 - Moderator Sep 3 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    Who does his hair?!?! #oklaed
  • coach57 Sep 3 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    Great question for #OKlaed.

    A1: Not a lot of similarities.. Differences would be attitude toward students and ability to stay calm #oklaed
  • bridgestyler Sep 3 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A2: This is why budget cuts are devastating. Wraparound services are more important than ever, and disappearing left and right. #oklaed
  • HaileyKay2018 Sep 3 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A1: I feel like the attribute most prevalent in those Ts is that they were distant, I hope to be connected and foster relationships #OklaEd

    I hope I'm being responsive to them. I hope I recognize when and what Ss are communicating. #oklaed

    A2: Know your students and address the needs as they arise...if you can't help them..find somebody that can. #oklaed
  • jackson5th6th Sep 3 @ 9:14 PM EDT

    A2 When Ss trust you w/ their issues, you don't judge them. Try to get them what they need or connect w/ who can #oklaed
  • hoffman_debbie Sep 3 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A2. It's necessary to know ss. Build relationship & meet the needs as best one can. Provide food, understanding, dignity, etc. #oklaed
  • msnixon5 Sep 3 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A2: I try to find out what the cause of the problem is. Hungry? I have snacks. Tired? Take a break. Upset? Tell me about it. #oklaed
  • scienceteachtk Sep 3 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    To me, sending them to someone else says, "I don't care enough or don't want to deal with you." Not the message I want to send #oklaed

  • mcappsparks Sep 3 @ 9:15 PM EDT

  • jcbjr Sep 3 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    #OklaEd A2: Before I left the classroom in 2009, I sought to be a good listener & observer. I didn't support some who didn't seek 2 engage.

    Shout out to all the teachers who can barely make ends meet but still keep snacks in their desk. #oklaed

    A2 cont. so I try to bridge the gap btwn S and resource. Not sure I do this as well as I ought. #OklaEd
  • kriscoop80 Sep 3 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A2. I give S's time to process when they are upset. Let them know I am there to listen & listen when needed.But time is an issue. #oklaed

    A3 this is why it's so impt to get to know our students. So we can ask what's up, mean it, and find help if needed. All abt trust #oklaed
    In reply to @KimberBlodgett
  • nancy_nwilliams Sep 3 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A2 Breakfast & lunch for all has helped. Emotional needs of respect and caring are being worked on. Only then can we teach. #oklaed

    A8: it's tough to ask a student to control their emotions, when we can't control our own. Model expected behavior! #oklaed

    Gotta run, #OKLAed. Enjoy the day off tomorrow! Great job @KimberBlodgett!! :)
  • andredaughty Sep 3 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A8. cont. Also, we, #oklaed, have to realize that some Ts pressure points are different than others. Your level 10 may be my level 4.
  • Sgraceskidmore Sep 3 @ 9:47 PM EDT

  • watersenglish Sep 3 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A9 We do a lot of reflective writing in my classes, and I model that reflection process for the Ss, incl. reflecting on my lessons. #oklaed
  • kriscoop80 Sep 3 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A9. I let them reflect on their behavior. Let them say why they behaved that way. Then we discuss how to "fix" it or improve. #oklaed
  • MrBurtonMPS Sep 3 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A9: rotate group or class leadership roles; reflective rubrics #oklaed

    A9- We give Ss pts for things they do in our rooms (performance). This has worked great. They then see how factors affect learning. #oklaed

  • msnixon5 Sep 3 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A10: You have to figure out what interests them. When they know you are willing to talk about what they like they will listen. #oklaed
  • mcappsparks Sep 3 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    A10 the motivation, as my dad says, is it's all about the kids. I try hard to make personal connections--talk to them like adults. #OklaEd

    I stand in awe of #oklaed. 20 to 120 kids per day, being responsible for their behavior AND education, most lay people would run in fear.
  • Sgraceskidmore Sep 3 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    A10 make sure they know who they are matters more than what they know. Teach whole ss not just subject. Learn from mistakes ts & ss #oklaed
  • suzanwray Sep 3 @ 9:57 PM EDT
