A3: Great question. I always think I have less pateince then I do. I've found that deep breaths help in the moment. Venting in my head of all the things I could say. Saying them in my head allows for me to not say them out loud #mcpchat

A1: SEL to me means ensuring the wellbeing of everyone in the room. Checking in with them and being in the "know" as much as possible #mcpchat

A4: I roast the children and they love it 🤷🏽‍♀️ (but I'm always nice). I also do daily check ins with each kid which highlights even the quietest kids personality

A1: Manifest!!! Manifesting all the things in 2023 🫣

Through practice and modeling. It's that simple 😎

We start everyday with a warm up of some sort or a short discussion. This year I've started doing mini debates to get them engaged and working together. Yesterdays was does McDonald's have the best burgers. Very interesting discussion

A1: getting new students and starting over #mcpchat

A3: for me, that’s always been based on the school I work at. They have often set the norm for grades. #mcpchat

A2: personally I think grades serve no real purpose at the moment because what does an A actually mean? I think feedback and comments provide much more insight than a single grade. #mcpchat

A1: mine is that students should have ample opportunity to show mastery and multiple opportunities to revise work. No grade should ever be set if students are willing to do the work to improve #mcpchat

Atlanta!!!!

A3: they help@gold kids accountable, especially the student facing tracker that they use to keep track of where they are. I find they can have deeper conversation about what they are working on

A2: I just make it a part of our daily routine so we spent time going over what they can find on it and how they can use it for collaboration #MCPchat

A1: I’ve used both a public and student facing tracker. Both have their benefits but I think the best classes have both :) #MCPchat

A5: They should know the upfront worth is soooo worth it for the kids.

A3: before this year I was pretty lucky to have an administration who trusted me to teach the way that worked for me. So I tell them the benefits and they were on board. But I was suuuuuuuper lucky back then. #mcpchat

A2: I normally show the video from Eastern and have a discussion with students about how we will learn differently, etc. I essentially have them learn about the model through the model. #mcpchat

Q1: I decided during my second year of teaching. Things just weren't working so I tried my hand at it before I even knew about MCP. Found MCP the following year and have been involved ever since in some capacity
