A4: I will always remember that no matter how trying some times may be as a leader, no one is doing it perfectly and you certainly aren’t doing it alone. If you aren’t working with your peers, you aren’t doing it right! #Ed634

A3: in one of the themes it describes me as ‘flexible.’ I found this to be one of the more important traits identified in the assessment as each day throw an unexpected curveball. I guess I have my 1st graders to thank for this! 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ #Ed634

@AmandaFjeld2 @EdLdshpMSUM Loving the team aspect. Where would we be without our mentors and colleagues? #Ed634

[Anna Willems @AnnaWillems8]

A2:When leaders are focused on personal strengths, they may find themselves having a happier outlook on the work they are conducting. I’m return, this motivates colleagues as well. Be aware of areas needing improvement, but don’t dwell. #Ed634

[Anna Willems @AnnaWillems8]

@CoachMeagher Perfectly said! No leader is the same and never will a lead walk in perfectly equipped and fitting that mold. #Ed634

[Anna Willems @AnnaWillems8]

A1: Talents: natural patterns of thinking/doing. Strengths: Show grit, ethic, and separate a leader from others. Strengths are more important as a leader because it has a growth mindset. Talents lead us to our strengths. #ED634

@EdLdshpMSUM While PLC’s may be helpful, PLN’s are more self-inspired and desired. Rather then being assigned, individuals have the freedom to network and seek resources in a more personalized manor. It’s limitless, timeless, and free!

@EdLdshpMSUM Social media is one of the most powerful ways to refine your craft as an educator. It has Pinterest like activities and contains better conversations than in the staff lounge. Can’t beat it!

@StaciAllmaras Perspective... Great point.

[Anna Willems @AnnaWillems8]

@Courtne79505411 Being present and visible is far more important now especially! It makes us feel more supported.

@StaciAllmaras A5: A principal listens and makes students (and staff) feel relaxed in their work environment. They know the leader personally. A principal continues to grow and evolve alongside families as a whole, especially in a new and difficult situation. #msum640

@StaciAllmaras School leaders are making students comfortable in their learning environment. Handing out hotspots, investing in more educational platforms, socially distanced lines on the floor, more PD days for staff, and safety gear. #msum640

@KimJKSan @StaciAllmaras Great point! We like change, but too much change can put some at a loss.

[Anna Willems @AnnaWillems8]

@shaynalin21 @StaciAllmaras SO true. Horrible pandemic, but looking at the positives and what really matters.

[Anna Willems @AnnaWillems8]

@StaciAllmaras Shifting focus away from max content taught and moving towards safety measures. Making education equitable for all learning situations is priority as well as keeping students safe and comfortable. #msum640

[Anna Willems @AnnaWillems8]

@StaciAllmaras A2: You are responsible for planning&direction as the manager, but can utilize your staff to help make decisions as the leader. A healthy balance between the two creates a trusting relationship. Positive relationships=positive learning environment #msum640

[Anna Willems @AnnaWillems8]

@shaynalin21 @StaciAllmaras I like that you said leaders are ones who motivate. Not just an admin, but anyone!
