  • Collaborative talk structure is taking something to ignite learning, focusing on one thing and tying in a reflection.
  •  Having time to actually talk is a key component so you have time to put things into action.
  • Anytime you are stuck or overwhelmed, take the time to stop and learn to keep yourself motivated.
  • Making teachers feel heard and seen and creating a community where people can learn and fail and keep going is important for a collaborative talk sequence.
  • Focusing is an element that makes teachers great. It transcends into every part of teaching.
  • If we can help teachers really see their beliefs, we can empower them to not be focused on all the things but to instead focus on the foundational things.
  • You have to have boundaries with your time and energy as a classroom teacher and mentor. Recognize within yourself that you need to stop and take a breather.
  • In our minds can make things seem overwhelming, but we have to stop and think about how long it will take to do something really well.
  • The power of asking questions and listening to the teachers you get to work with and understanding their values is so important to empower everyone at large.
  • Train yourself to see the light and good to increase your motivation and the energy you are bringing to your students.
