Be the leader you want to be, not the leader you think you need to be. @BryanMcDonaldPD

Principals should be knowledgeable in the science of reading. They should also be strong at giving feedback to teachers. They should always point out strengths. @BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead

Principals should be able to support teachers with implementing the curriculum being taught in classrooms. @BryanMcDonaldPD

It is important as a principal to share with staff what you believe, what they can expect of you, and what you expect of them. @BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead

[Stephanie Jahnssen @SJahnssen]

A principal should be a great instructional leader first, and then a manager second. @BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead

[Stephanie Jahnssen @SJahnssen]

Walkthroughs can be powerful if there is trust, teachers know what you are looking for, and feedback is given. @BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead

[Stephanie Jahnssen @SJahnssen]

Great principals have a combination of manager, leader and developer skills. @BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead

[Stephanie Jahnssen @SJahnssen]

Principals should constantly reflect on their day to day interactions to see if they allign with their educational values. @BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead

When creating a vision for a building, a school should use demographic, perceptual, student learning and process data. #ucmoedlead @BryanMcDonaldPD

[Stephanie Jahnssen @SJahnssen]

The problem solving cycle is a great way to help identify challenges and come up with hunches of why it is a challenge. Asking questions and and using data would be helpful in coming up with solutions to solve challenges in a building. # ucmoedlead @BryanMcDonaldPD

Digging into demographic, perception, student learning and process data is hard, but important work! #ucmoedlead @BryanMcDonaldPD

[Stephanie Jahnssen @SJahnssen]

I enjoyed digging into demographic data and picking out strengths and challenges for a school to determine implications. #ucmoedlead @BryanMcDonaldPD

[Stephanie Jahnssen @SJahnssen]

Process data is the one type of data that schools can control. Processes need to be in place to help schools do business and make decisions. #ucmoedlead @BryanMcDonaldPD

[Stephanie Jahnssen @SJahnssen]

My takeaways from tonight related to data is that progress is not perfection, celebrate successes and know your why for using data. #ucmoedlead @BryanMcDonaldPD

[Stephanie Jahnssen @SJahnssen]

I enjoyed zooming with the author of our textbook- Data Analysis for Continuous School Improvement. She gave great insight on how all of the pieces of data can be collected and used to help create plans for your school. #ucmoedlead @BryanMcDonaldPD

[Stephanie Jahnssen @SJahnssen]

I feel like I have a better overall picture of the performance assessment project and have a plan in place to tackle the different steps/prompts. #ucmoedlead @BryanMcDonaldPD

[Stephanie Jahnssen @SJahnssen]

Tonight's class helped me to reflect on the assessments we use in our school and how we take the data to drive our instruction. Data is not helpful unless you use it to make decisions. #ucmoedlead @BryanMcDonaldPD

[Stephanie Jahnssen @SJahnssen]

My take away from class tonight is that perceptions are reality to students, parents and faculty. If we know the perceptions in our school, we can make changes to improve. #ucmoedlead @BryanMcDonaldPD

[Stephanie Jahnssen @SJahnssen]

Tonight's class allowed me to learn how to find demographic data for my district and building. This will help me to learn more about who we are and what our story is. #ucmoedlead @BryanMcDonaldPD

[Stephanie Jahnssen @SJahnssen]

Tonight in class I learned about schools needing both commitment and compliance in buildings. They are both needed in different ways. I enjoyed breaking down characteristics of both in groups and sharing with each other. #ucmoedlead @BryanMcDonaldPD
