I loved reading all of your posts yesterday! Chapters 9-11 Q2... #jwewildcard

@cstoryJWE Ch 9-11 Q1: it is scary having a barrier like this in unprecedented times!! So unsure of everything! It is so hard to wrap heads around everything we are going to face! #jwewildcard

Ch 8 Q2: Falling into the comparison trap is to self sabotage... always remember you are unique and have wonderful things to offer our children!! We must always put a different spin on things to make it authentic to yourself!!#jwewildcard

@Maqhines @ComeauLC Chap 7 Q3 when students are given a challenge they are usually happy for it! Sometimes we don’t give our students enough credit, they usually rise to the occasion! Then, their smiles say a thousand words!#jwewildcard

@ComeauLC Chap7 Q2: The right kind of ingredients are so important! Empowerment is the best way for our ESL students to feel confident to try something that is totally out of their wheelhouse. Then, by feeling empowered builds that confidence which keep our students thriving!#jwewildcard

@ComeauLC Chap 7 Q1: Rigor is important! If we don’t stretch the boundaries, we remain in our comfort zones! Getting out of comfort zones is where we will thrive. #jwewildcard

Ch 5-6 Q2: Now that we know what zones we are in, it’s time to take a risk. What are some ways you can offer your students a different learning experience? #jwewildcard

@ShapiroJWE Q2: Relationships....Relationships...Relationships! #jwewildcard

Time for Question 2, Wranglers! #jwewildcard

A3: Bloopers happen ALL the time in our profession. It’s how we handle them that make us successful! Laughter is the best medicine!

@glopezkatyisd Week 2 A1: why not tap into our students and use their talents for our AHA moments and to build on their strengths! Building lessons around their backgrounds helps us build those relationships that are so critical for success.

The short blurb for Ch. 4 is below. Our Q1 for this week is, "what is your why?" My why is simple, kids are a ball of clay that I get to help mold. #jwewildcard

@MrsZhangJWE @JWEKaty A3: Oh my goodness... being New in ESL I ask questions constantly! I seem to be asking same questions over and over but actually it is just taking time to learn some new thing! The phrase if at first you don’t succeed, try...try again... has never been so true!

Question three coming at you! Let’s share some bloopers! #jwewildcard @JWEKaty

A2: when the Joker creeps in... remember you are in charge of your own attitude!! Attitude is EVERYTHING! Delivery is important and engagement. However you see fit to do it, is KEY and up to you!! #jwewildcard
