Q2: Having Ss teach YOU something is really powerful. Even the most hard-to-reach S has something they get excited about. Ask them about their favorite computer game or how to draw something. Not only do they leap at the chance, your relationships will progress/grow #novaedchat

A3: Ss need timely feedback from Ts as they work toward classroom goals, but timely S feedback to teachers grows trust, S ownership of learning, & welcoming classroom environments. Ss often know what they need to succeed, Ts can learn a lot from listening #novaedchat

A4: Ss! A terrible feeling year of school for a S can change the trajectory of their school career & the way they perceive themselves/their abilities. Not to mention, trying to manage a class full of Ss you have no/negative relationships with would not be a fun year… #novaedchat

A5: I loved what Robin L shared about reframing the perspective we are using to think about our relationships with Ss & the class environment. Reflecting on our own perspectives and their effects on Ss is a powerful tool build & maintain relationships #NoVAEdChat

A6: I want to recommit myself to building and maintaining positive relationships/communication with S families. Now that we are halfway through the year I want to redouble my efforts to share celebrations & learning with Ss support systems #novaedchat

My 2021-2022 school year ended a bit earlier than expected, but I love that I can still be a spectator for NoVAedchat even in the wee hours of the morning! Don’t mind me, I’m just here to read, learn, and 💙

Me: What’s this thing on the outside of our iPads? Kinder 1: A case! Me: That’s exactly right! What do you think the case does? Kinder 2: Keeps it safe and— Kinder 3: Once I threw up on my iPad and I had to wipe it and I couldn’t pause because the throw up was on it. #fcpssbts
