@Mwakes4 Putting organization and structure in a school is an important way to help set expectations.

@chk1979 Leaders can effectively communicate their mission and vision by have clear, obtainable goals that allow students and faculty to grow. They also have to lead by example.

@jennikash95 Leadership moves that have helped retain teachers in my school were having a close mentorship with veteran teachers! #EDLR5403

@chk1979 Trusting coworkers is always key! #5403chat

@AidynsX A6: Allow people to experiment, make mistakes, take educated risks, and if they fail, support each other. #5403chat

[Scott Esson @TeacherScott2]

@AidynsX A5: More teacher lead meetings, with teacher-leaders at the helm. Less staff meeting with fluff. Consistent professional learning. #5403chat

[Scott Esson @TeacherScott2]

@AidynsX A4: Trust, cooperation, support. #5403chat

@MsMitchellBio Sounds frustrating! #5403chat

@AidynsX A3: We take target behavior data daily and if we see spikes in the data we look at multiple factors. Sometimes it means a change in medication, sometimes different instruction in the classroom, maybe a change in schedule. We look through multiple lenses and make a plan#5403chat

[Scott Esson @TeacherScott2]

@nick_e_flynn @jakankc This type of thinking helped my classroom streamline a lot of our behavior data collection. #5403chat

[Scott Esson @TeacherScott2]

@AidynsX A2: They look at the amount of data that was collected and compare it to a baseline to make sure the data is actually accurate. They compare the data to additional factors to see if there is a correlation to whatever we are trying to solve or find out. #5403chat

[Scott Esson @TeacherScott2]

@teach_fejzic Good point! There's no point to have all that data and no time to use it! #5403chat

[Scott Esson @TeacherScott2]

@AidynsX A1: Create a network of staff that are able to trust each other and their supervisors. Promote data use to actually figure out big picture issues instead of hyper focusing on the smaller issues. #5403chat

Recently told a friend how it confuses me when people think more highly of me than I do of myself. She said "they see who you really are instead of what you've lied to yourself about." It's stuck with me ever since. Fellow imposter syndrome sufferers, keep that in mind.

Good luck to all my #educators starting off the school year this week! Stay safe!

If kids come to us from strong, healthy functioning families, it makes our job easier. If they do not come to us from strong, healthy, functioning families, it makes our job more important.
