@giseldagq @PISD_RISE Yes, when we get irritated it’s easy to react to a trigger than “responding with a thoughtful plan”. #pisdRisechat

@PISD_RISE A16: Separating person from the problem. Sometimes we are quick to just get irritated by conflict and see the conflict and person as one whole. I think showing empathy and just focusing on how to resolve the situation is what’s important. #pisdRISEchat

Q16: Choose and share your biggest Aha! moment while reading about conflict. How does this change your perspective/thoughts on conflict or shape your approach in working through conflict? #pisdRISEchat (Note: Reply with A16: and include #pisdRISEchat in your reply.)

@Mia_aiMR @PISD_RISE I totally agree. Solve the problem and move on, never let someone’s mistake linger. Let them learn from it and start over.

@PISD_RISE A16: My aha moment when I was reading about being quick with conflict. You never want to dwell on the situation, avoidance will only hurt you more. We can always grow from conflict as how we handle it shapes us into the person we are. #pisdRISEchat

@Ms_fbecerra @PISD_RISE Ice breaker games is also a great way to build a classroom family and acceptance. #pisdRisechat

@PISD_RISE A15:#pisdRISEchat I would foster an environment in which my students feel accepted. I would seek opportunities to ask for clarification and to offer solutions.

Q15: We cannot develop resiliency in others because it can only be developed, practiced, and refined by an individual. How might you create opportunities for students to build resilience in your class? How do you determine what types of opportunities are necessary?

@Julie95ann @PISD_RISE QTIP-definitely going to remember that one. It’s so easy to fall into that pit.

@PISD_RISE A14 Quit taking it personal! Feedback is about the task, not the person. It is about what is happening, not you as a person. Feedback should be viewed as a tool to help you grow. #pisdRISEchat

Q14: As educators, we know that actionable feedback is essential! Our mindset for receiving feedback is pivotal in our ability to take action for our own personal growth. Choose one idea from this chapter and explain how it can shift your mindset to make feedback more useful.

@Ms_fbecerra @PISD_RISE I totally agree, feedback promotes new possibilities and an opening for growth.

@PISD_RISE A14- #pisdRISEchat For me, it would be not expecting a perfect rating and preparing myself to accept feedback as a way to continue growing. Accepting feedback will bring me into looking for new possibilities and more engaging ideas to improve on what I am doing.

@PISD_RISE A:16 My aha moment is where it says conflict can be a good thing. Not because it seems like an oxymoron but because I agree. I sometimes view conflict as an opportunity for my students to learn a life lesson. #pisdRisechat

@JKelxMilSS @PISD_RISE I liked the start statements idea as well.

@PISD_RISE A15: In my classroom, I plan to use journal entries and "start statements" to help teach resilience. Forming healthy relationships with our students will help us identify opportunities to teach resilience. #pisdRISEchat

@PISD_RISE A15: Reframing will be a big part of fostering resiliency in my class. Teaching students to look at situations in a different perspective. If I get the opportunity I would also like to try role playing diff situations. #pisdRisechat

@PISD_RISE A14: One idea from this chapter that resonates with me is not to take feedback personal. It’s true, feedback can become emotional but I need to remember that it’s more like taking data and using it to improve myself. #pisdRisechat

@PISD_RISE A13: When comparing and reflecting on undeserved good against underserved bad we can realize that there are usually so many more instances of undeserved good happening. Practicing gratitude and reframing helps me change my perspective and see the glass half full. #pisdRisechat

Q13: The author notes that life is negatively unfair at times and also positively unfair at times. How can comparing and reflecting on the undeserved good against the undeserved bad play a role in shifting your perspective of inevitable change? #pisdRISEchat

@Mia_aiMR @PISD_RISE Mentors are awesome! #pisdRisechat

@PISD_RISE A11: : I really admired my mentor this year. As a 1st year it was a challenge but my mentor assured me everyday that I was doing amazing. She also has such a beautiful way of teaching and supporting the students and being such an amazing person to look up to. #pisdRISEchat

Q11: Who is someone important within your professional network? Craft an appreciation tweet that entails how their support is meaningful to you. #pisdRISEchat (Note: Reply with A11: and include #pisdRISEchat in your reply.)

@MrDBlevins @PISD_RISE That’s awesome! #pisdRisechat

@PISD_RISE A11: I cannot just "pick one", but I'd have to say (with sincerity) anyone who has modeled and exemplified different styles of leadership, support, and grit has been an incredible role model and mentor. Thank you, to all of you. #pisdRISEchat

@Kimberl56392657 @PISD_RISE I designate jobs every year and it helps keep the room clean, but I would like to be more specific and more intentional with them next year. Some tpt made jobs are not very applicable for my science room. #pisdRisechat

@PISD_RISE A12: ✌🏻 for me, ☝🏻, calendar ALL imp. events, I always schedule work/doc appts., so I need to prioritize my family too in my calendar! & ✌🏻, scan any possible classroom clutter from a child’s perspective, I think I’ll use an actual child!! lol #pisdRISEchat

Q12: Harris shared, “Clutter makes you a quitter.” Describe one strategy you plan to implement next year to “quit clutter” and create a learning environment with less stressful distractions. #pisdRISEchat (Note: Reply with A12: and include #pisdRISEchat in your reply.)

@MrDBlevins @PISD_RISE Disposing of items will also be at the top of my list next year. I tend to hold onto things for the next year and never end up using them as I had intended. #pisdRisechat

@PISD_RISE A12: I will be more proactive about utilizing available tools to help me organize & plan for each week, while also being planned "weeks" ahead. This will allow me to prepare specific items, and dispose of things that I "thought" I needed, but really didn't. #pisdRISEchat

@PISD_RISE A12: I believe scheduling specific days or times to tackle emails, grading, and clean up would help me be more organized. Emails are my vise, this would help. #pisdRisechat

@PISD_RISE A11: Someone important within my professional network is our campus assistant principal. She is of strong character but at the same time is a listener. She demonstrates a willingness to help when asked. #pisdRisechat

@nauticallove20 @PISD_RISE Yes, reframing and changing those conversations into positive ones will not only be good for us as teachers but I also believe it sets a great example to our students. #pisdRisechat

@PISD_RISE A10: #pisdRISEchat My game plan is to work on reframing, positive intent and being self aware when I am complaining. I also want find ways to support my kids instead of complaining about them.

Q10: Complaining is a thinking process and the more we do it, the more likely it may become a habit. How might you use this knowledge to navigate your realms of influence and things you can’t control? #pisdRISEchat (Note: Reply with A10: and include #pisdRISEchat in your reply.)

@DianaRobles5 @PISD_RISE Yes, reflecting and being grateful can definitely reframe the situation. #pisdRisechat

@PISD_RISE A10:I agree that the more you complain, the more likely it is to become a habit. I really liked the advice the author gave about thinking in that moment or perhaps at the end of the day about the positive things or moments that happened and being grateful for those. #pisdRISEchat

@PISD_RISE A10: I totally agree with the more one complains the more likely it’ll become habit. When I catch myself complaining I try to think of the positives or think of other perspectives. I remind myself that not everyone is the same. #pisdRisechat

@MrsFriendTweets @PISD_RISE Very true, it kinda puts things into perspective. It’s just a moment that will pass. #pisdRisechat

@PISD_RISE A9: I thrive in social environments, so sometimes when I need to calm down and refocus I find a friend to chat about something completely unrelated! It helps to redivert my attention and get “unstuck”. #pisdRISEchat

Q9: Share one of your go-to techniques that calms, focuses you, and brings perspective and proper thinking in the midst of a stressful situation. #pisdRISEchat (Note: Reply with A9: and include #pisdRISEchat in your reply.)
