A6: You don’t have to do everything. It is ok to ask for help and make sure you take time for yourself or you will get burnt out #BTWPodcastChat

A5: I have one student who is teaching me new and creative ways to help her when she is having a difficult time #BTWPodcastChat

A4: last month our curriculum was about helping the community. I discussed the topic and some students said how they could help and others pointed to pictures. Some even created cards to show gratitude #BTWPodcastChat

Saying yes to taking on more work tasks to help out which was saying no to self care time #BTWPodcastChat

A2: I will set aside Friday night for self care and catch up on some Netflix. She isn’t on Twitter but my mom will hold@me accountable. #BTWPodcastChat

A1: saying yes to something means you are saying no to something else. #BTWPodcastChat

Hi Kristin Todesco special education teacher @HortonsCreekES in year 3! Tonight I’m feeling: #btwpodcastchat

A6: respecting their ideas and trying them out instead of shutting them down. Shout out to @MerrittRowe for always having great ideas to try! #ELASCD #btwpodcastchat

A5: having a mentor teacher is a huge support. They are always there for you without judgement. A big thing I’ve learned is you have to set boundaries and shut down at certain times everyday to care for yourself. #ELASCD #btwpodcastchat

A4: I am a BT 3 and currently the department chair for our special education department. It’s a positive experience and builds confidence! #btwpodcastchat #ELASCD

A 3: they bring energy and new ideas. A lot of new out of the box thinking as well #ELASCD #btwpodcastchat

A 2: one of the biggest things I wish I knew my first year would be managing staff in your room is not always the easiest thing and you will have to have tough conversations #ELASCD #btwpodcastchat

A 1: The best part of teaching is making a difference for students and showing them how much they matter #ELASCD #btwpodcastchat
