I like laughing with our teachers. I actually think it’s important for administrators to laugh with their teachers from time to time... just as it is important for teachers to laugh with their students. You build culture with the little things — like laughter. #JoyfulLeaders

Absolutely true! This is a people business! https://t.co/1ozH5NtUbW

[Eric Sheninger @E_Sheninger]

In education we are in the people business. First and foremost we must work tirelessly to support our learners so that they can grow and thrive in a changing world. Almost as important is our support of each other. Together we are better.

Teachers who teach kids have an advantage over teachers who teach subjects. They understand the role of personal connections in the process of meaningful learning.

So critical for students at the Middle School level! https://t.co/aRNEjeI3zL

I’m a huge fan of having a first period advisory that focuses exclusively on restorative circles. It may be one of the most high leverage/proactive/preventive things a school can do to transform performance. Building Community With Restorative Circles https://t.co/KfGtFZIifb

Continue my personalized learning journey to become as knowledgeable as possible so that I can empower those I lead to do the same. Eliminate the cookie cutter method through PBL and PL that allows students to learn through experiences. Thanks for a great chat tonight! #NYEDChat https://t.co/Xk7iYJ8hfu

@j_cameronjr Helping teachers reflect is critical. It’s all about questioning and getting them to really think. You can help even the most veteran teachers move forward if they can reflect on their own practices!

A5: Help teachersmove from@the sage on the stage to the guide on the side. Dive deep and really learn about students. Let them explore and learn through what is meaningful and relevant to them #NYEDChat

[Brittany DerCola @BDerCola]

@JeremyDBond Get them involved! Make them feel valued and give them opportunities to take leadership roles within the school. Involve them in the decision making process and give them a voice. Make school a positive environment for the parents too!

[Brittany DerCola @BDerCola]

A3: Leaders need to Empower teachers to step outside of the box and create rigorous and relevant learning experiences for students. Leaders need to Empower students to become innovative, inquisitive problem solvers. Leaders need to Empower parents to be our partners #NYEDChat
