@katieraeoman YES!!! The ability to make change across all content areas is a must. Also, to create change amongst all realms of education as well. #MSUM644

[Alicia Powers @apowers03]

@JordanSpaeth Response to A5: I agree, change IS hard! In relation to rethinking schools, the way we support each other through the changes will impact the outcome. #MSUM644

[Alicia Powers @apowers03]

A5: I believe that one of educators' biggest obstacle to revolutionizing schools is the ability to keep up with the ever-increasing speed of change. #msum644

[Alicia Powers @apowers03]

A4: We need to prepare our kids to be problem-solvers, to think through creative lenses, to be resilient, and how to preserve their passions. #msum644

[Alicia Powers @apowers03]

A3: Provide opportunities for failure without the feelings of shame that are often attached as a result. To empower the abilities of everyone, & to acknowledge/implement the creative ways learning can occur. #msum644

[Alicia Powers @apowers03]

A2: Be intentional in my encouragement of others. Provide opportunities to ask questions, and then seek the answers together. #msum644

[Alicia Powers @apowers03]

A1: Seek to find the why, encourage & instill passion, inspire others to keep asking questions & to become problem solvers. #msum644

@StaciAllmaras Thanks for the vote of confidence!

[Alicia Powers @apowers03]

A4 – I believe that an area of strength for me is to engage in practices that move learning forward. An area of growth for me is leveraging protocols for dialogue...and using Twitter w/o feeling anxious! #msum635

"Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work, feels trusted and valued during the day, then returns home feeling fulfilled" (excerpt from book review on Amazon) This might go on my reading list too!

#msum635 Here's a TEDx talk on Education Leadership that I found interesting: https://t.co/iVnohjVx91

[Alicia Powers @apowers03]

#msum635 There are some good research articles about PLNs on this site: https://t.co/JWNaPo3Ini

@saraandbooks I would agree - sustaining that level of energy is tough

[Alicia Powers @apowers03]

Let's try again w/the tag! LOL #newbie A3:My district provides lrng opportunities in many ways ex: content specific collab, allday trainings, book studies, etc. This aligns to many of McDowell’s criteria pieces, but I don’t believe it hits 100% (specifically orientation) #msum635

[Alicia Powers @apowers03]

@StaciAllmaras yes, I have been a part of a partially flipped meeting. Info was emailed prior to meeting, then collab time was offered during the mtg time

[Alicia Powers @apowers03]

A2 Part 2: Another one on flipping the meeting: https://t.co/WoYAJdOQqc #TeachThought #MSUM635

[Alicia Powers @apowers03]

A2: By “flipping” staff meetings, leaders are able to transform one-sided, ineffective meetings into collaborative learning opportunities for the staff. https://t.co/28Cj1VbZQA @PaulHermesEDU #NASSP #MSUM635

[Alicia Powers @apowers03]

This...yes, @dm_goebel!

[Dawn Goebel @dm_goebel]

A1 Lead learners set the tone by stretching out of their professional comfort zone. “That’s how we’ve always done it”, probably won’t bring about transformation. https://t.co/uSUPjyO8Mr #msum635

Modeling learning as a school leader encourages forward thinking across all stakeholders. Leadership begins w/self awareness •https://t.co/e9fJ2MAYaM #msum635 #MESPAmn
