LEADERS! There will ALWAYS be people who judge schools without knowing anything about schools. It can be annoying but when you CHASE THE SMILES instead of the fly you forget why the fly is there and REMEMBER WHY YOU ARE.

A BQ - Simply have conversations and ask how things are going. Listen to needs and offer encouragement. Let them know you are there if they need anything at all - and follow through if/when they do! #Teachpos #ED527

A3 - Listen first and hear their needs. Avoid telling them what to do and/or coming across as if you know it all. Instead, be vulnerable and let them know about your journey (lessons learned, mistakes made). #Teachpos #ED527

[Jordan Spaeth @JordanSpaeth]

A2 - Highlight the great things they are doing, as there are undoubtedly positives to take away. From there, hear their needs and offer support. Mentor programs can be amazing resources! #Teachpos #ED527

A1 - The way we talk and act is contagious! Also, when we talk positive, students are more likely to follow suit. This is how a healthy culture can be built. #Teachpos

In schools, we should celebrate the great things that happen every day. At the same time, we should also accept that we will never “arrive.” We will always be focused on improving and innovating. We can do both! #ED527 #InnovatorsMindset

Some new tech ideas that am looking forward to trying out! #ED527 https://t.co/N18AqbhkQ4 #ED527

Looking forward to building momentum this week! #ED527

LEADERS!!! Starting your day WITH PURPOSE sets the tone for how you react TO THINGS YOU CAN’T CONTROL. Positive intention CREATES MOMENTUM for you AND those you connect with.

@JacySpenc That was my favorite as well! A straightforward way to create meaningful learning opportunities with tech. #ED527

[Jordan Spaeth @JordanSpaeth]

@Ismailshuceyb Yes! More flexible learning options (i.e. choice boards) and more intentional tech integration. #ED527

A quote I always try to keep in mind: “The best teacher is the one who never forgets what it is like to be a student. The best administrator is the one who never forgets what it is like to be a teacher” - Neila Connors #ed527

Love @gcouros idea of creating environments of competitive collaboration and a culture of yes! #InnovatorsMindset #ED527

"Perhaps the amazing thing we can do is make growth mandatory - for ourselves as educators, as well as for our students. This is how we can truly serve our children." - @gcouros #GrowthMindset #ED527

[Jordan Spaeth @JordanSpaeth]

@DrKCarlson @educause The need for transformation in education. It is no longer acceptable to go back to the status quo if we want to prepare students for the future. #ED527
