One mission. Twenty High Schools. $441,862.69. Countless Miracles. The Mini Marathon Programs this year have inspired us with their commitment to our movement. Together, the University of Florida and these young leaders have embodied the true spirit of Dance Marathon.

Thanks for all your responses! I had so much fun moderating tonight. (Though my husband can attest to my frequent outbursts of "What is going on?? Where is my TWEET??") I'll see y'all next time. #acpsteach

A5: I am learning a lot about myself from answering these questions. I like to laugh with my students, and I'm pretty sure they don't think I'm that funny, but I think I'm HILARIOUS. Somehow my thinking I'm funny becomes the thing we laugh about.#acpsteach

It would be great to do something like this more often and informally. I loved seeing the style of different teachers when I was in my UF Proteach program, but since becoming a teacher myself, I hardly ever get to watch master teachers at the helm. #acpsteach x.com/davewfields/status/961…

It's totally true. Every lesson I see or discuss with another teacher teaches me something new that I can apply. #acpsteach x.com/ACPS_Don_Fitz/status/9…

A3": During a lesson study, a teacher new to the faculty taught a unique way to read and write complex sentences that my colleagues and I immediately added to our toolbox. #acpsteach

Yes! Warm, intentional communication between teachers improves teachers' lives and directly impacts instruction. #acpsteach x.com/SBAC_PD/status/9610478…
A3: I have found over the years that collaboration is the foundation for success in the classroom. Great teachers share ideas that make them even better. When teachers share practices that improve student learning, everyone benefits! #acpsteach

This is awesome student engagement! I am taking notes. I do something similar where students write romantic text message convos between characters. They suddenly understand the plot PERFECTLY when they do this. #acpsteach x.com/davewfields/status/961…

Q3: What’s one way that your teaching practice has benefited from collaborating with other teachers? Would you like to do more collaboration? #acpsteach

A2: Can I answer my own Q? Here goes! I like to make my students become characters when I'm teaching a novel. I will explain a story line, renaming my students with the characters' names. They usually delight in the attention and bond with their characters.#acpsteach
