Utah and Colorado compete over a lot of things – who has the better mountains, the better skiing, the better economy, etc. I think it’s Utah, and @GovofCO thinks it's Colorado. But one thing we agree on, is that Americans need to learn how to #DisagreeBetter and that healthy…

It’s really inspiring to see how many educators are learning about how to build educator capacity. Here’s a room full of that inspiration! Instructional coaching is a thing here in Utah. #ucet2023

Great advice from the legendary @TeacherWinters! “Find that passion we all know is there. Take breaks to avoid burnout. Find small challenges to keep engaged. Find a mentor and don’t be afraid to ask questions.” #UCTE23 #uted

A6: Ditto to everything that has been said already. I would add to work with an instructional coach regularly. I wish I would have had that opportunity when I was first starting. It can be an empowering and stress-relieving experience. #UTedChat

A5 (cont. again!): But learning how to compartmentalize is how you will be able to sustain your dedication to your students and your career. (This is advice to myself too!) #UTedChat

A5 (cont): A friend once pointed out that we don't take our laundry to school and do it in front of our students, and yet we do this so often to our family at home with our work. Learning how to unplug and be present can be hard when you have 1,802,309 things to do. #UTedChat

A5: I feel like a hypocrite giving advice on this; it has taken me YEARS to learn how to set more healthy boundaries, and yet those boundaries are so important to avoid burnout. There is definitely some ebb and flow, but I generally tried to keep work at work. #UTedChat

A4: Teaching them WHY we have boundaries with technology and HOW to use technology as a tool and not a distraction. I think so much of it depends on the culture of learning in the classroom. #UTedChat

A2: Ooohh...this is hard for me as a secondary teacher. Getting comfortable with Screencastify or a similar screen recording website was invaluable. Kids LOVE to watch videos made by their teachers, and there is good research to back it up: cultofpedagogy.com/screencast-vid… #UTedChat

When you are student teaching Jump in with both feet. As the great Ms. Frizzle said, "Take Chances, make mistakes, and get messy" We learn so much more when we don't take a tepid approach. #UTedChat

A1: Yay! Welcome to the best profession! I think the best advice I could give is twofold: 1.)Observe as many teachers as you can and 2.) Get REALLY good at recording yourself teaching, watching the recording, and self-evaluating. #UTedChat
