A16 My Aha moment is knowing there are two types of conflict. I think using “QTIP” can shift you from affective conflict to cognitive conflict and ultimately be more productive. #pisdRISEchat

A15 My first go to would be to institute acts of helplessness…getting my students to build relationships by helping one another. Reframing is also a great way to teach students to be more resilient. #pisdRISEchat

A14 Seeking feedback with QTIP mindset will help in achieving greater growth in my personal and professional life. #pisdRISEchat

A13 Comparing undeserved, good and undeserved bad are the same for me… My faith leads me to know that both are to glorify God, with that in my mind… I am human, but I am resilient! #pisdRISEchat

A11 Thanks, Ashley Wellborn PMHS, CCS-Science, for supporting me in becoming a stronger leader and a more effective teacher through Maverick Mindset and AMPs #pisdRISEchat

A12 Crazy thing is… My classroom is very organized and clean, I cannot stand clutter. The one application point that I do not already do is “Make a to-do list”… I’m bad at lists! #pisdRISEchat

A10 It’s almost too simple…resilient teachers don’t complain, they “reframe”! #pisdRISEchat

A9 What are my body signs for stress, are the signs the same each time? Knowing these answers will be helpful. But like the song says “Just Breathe” combined with “reframing” seems to be the key! #pisdRISEchat

A8 Taking time to acknowledge the triggers of negative emotional responses, in advance and reframing them, will give me time to formulate the appropriate responses. #pisdRISEchat

A7 Resilient teachers manage their emotions-Emotions change on “a dime”. Perceiving emotions and taking control is a skill that will take time to master… But well worth it! #pisdRISEchat

A6 Self-forgiveness is hard for me, “Allow the emotion” “Tame some voices” “Fail forward” resonated w/ me. I remember hearing a commencement speaker say “The road to success is paved with failure” which I shared w/ my students…but now I need to follow this advice. #pisdRISEchat

A5 Found myself w/o home Internet, phone service is also bad. I got upset when Customer Service could not get us connected faster than 2wks. By reframing, I get to explore the library and other resources to help me with getting online to complete these assignments. #pisdRISEchat

A4 I have actively been working on acknowledging gratitude in my life. I never thought to keep a gratitude journal, but that makes total sense. This gratitude journal will help me to realize how blessed I am not just at home but at work too. #pisdRISEchat

A3 I’m adopting a “me too” mindset and “Another bonus idea” resonated with me. I’m giving myself permission to continue my better health journey and as a team lead, I will encourage my team to do the same while helping them by not placing unnecessary stress on them #pisdRISEchat

A2 After reading the Intro I’m am most excited to learn strategies to alter my perception of control and help to reduce the stress that builds through the school year #pisdRISEchat
