A6: Remember that these are kids, they will model what they see and they will rise to the expectations we set. We have to do a better job being the adults 🙂 #forsythpln

A5: I also believe simply admitting you may have an unconscious bias and seeking to understand it is a great first step #forsythpln

A3: My fave image that explains it perfectly in my opinion #forsythpln

A2 Diversity for me is a sharing of ideas, experiences, backgrounds, and beliefs in respectful relationship with one another #forsythpln

Beth Loedding, AP at Riverwatch, I'm inspired by many! My mom, my sister (currently homeschooling 3 boys), and my daughter who is such a fighter #forsythpln

A4: Podcasts! I love to binge listed to a whole series but a “one off” from an interesting podcast helps keep me pumped up #forsythpln

A3: There’s the challenge! The most engaged students I’ve seen this week are in classrooms where the teachers are enjoying what they do, are maybe a little crazy, and make sure Ss know the purpose for the learning #forsythpln

A1: Laughing with friends, reading a good book, taking a walk, and refusing to make any more decisions! #forsythpln

This truth makes our jobs all that more difficult, in that we must be creative in finding ways to convince students of our value. Relationships are key!

A5: Great question! Thanks for the encouragement to show that gratitude. #challengeaccepted #forsythpln

A4: too many to mention, but am so thankful for friends and colleagues who make me laugh, who keep me sane, and who bring me coffee! #forsythpln

When people feel appreciated, they are happier in their work/situation. Showing gratitude = appreciation. #forsythpln

A1: Relationships! It was brought to my attention that I’ve been around so long I know lots of folks. It’s my favorite! #forsythpln

Beth Loedding, AP at RMS, huge fan of pecan pie #forsythpln

Good reminders that a plan is critical
