a8- it was great workign with everyone in real time. So much better than starting a post and waiting for people to reply. #edle5630

a7- It is from the SHARED commitments and values that all the goals are achievable. We are as strong as our weakest link. We need to make sure the weakest link is part of the team, working towards the goal. Many times weak links are present because they are isolated. #edle5630

a6- assessment is used for feedback and for teachers to reflect on the effectiveness of the lesson and retention. It shouldn't be used to grade a school in all aspects. Once that fear is gone, we can truly use it for that it is. #edle5630

[Erik Park @erikP1982]

a5- learning should be specified to profound level. If we can get learning to be engaging and relevant we can achieve this principal because students will want to learn, not just have to go to school. #edle5630

[Erik Park @erikP1982]

a4- technology is everywhere, and it is driving business in every direction. That can be done with education as well. This will help with students receiving relevant education that can help directly with their future. #edle5630

If we really do want cooperation on all levels (federal, state, local) we need more than a few facebook videos to educate the public. #edle5630

@CrystalR_16 I have been in education for many years, but through this course, I was able to learn more about all aspects in education. So for a citizen not in education, it must be even harder to keep up to date, or to have passion to voice their concerns. #edle5630

[Erik Park @erikP1982]

@CrystalR_16 I talked to my wifes coworker at a company retreat about some issues in education (resources not reaching the classroom, teacher pay, policies not being effective, etc) and he said the average citizen does not think about these things. We need to change that! #edle5630

[Erik Park @erikP1982]

a3- Current direction is not working with education with many discords within state, federal, and local input. These much match and think about the students at hand from the beginning to end. #edle5630

@CoachHurstMHS @Momof4mclendons @coach_williams2 @DoughneyJ yes, and its a year long struggle! Im guilty of this as well, but the year is the long and the struggles of cell phone use will be daily! #edle5630

[Erik Park @erikP1982]

a2- Everyone has to be involved together. Admin, teachers, parents, community. Not only a shared vision with teachers and leaders, but with everyone involved. #edle5630

[Erik Park @erikP1982]

@Momof4mclendons @CoachHurstMHS @coach_williams2 @DoughneyJ I think this has to be done in a school wide setting. One teacher can try his/her best to make sure technology is used towards growth, but when other teachers allow cell phone use for social things, it'll creep into any effective classroom. #edle5630

[Erik Park @erikP1982]

@Momof4mclendons Yes, its about growth! I dont know too much, but Allen is using a system where teachers account for growth of a student and not just talking about getting better grades. #edle5630

[Erik Park @erikP1982]

a1- Accountability from testing is solely used and has narrowed the curriculum. we need a new system that engages and inspires educational growth. #edle5630

[Erik Park @erikP1982]

Erik Park from Allen High. Good to see everyone again! #edle5630

[Erik Park @erikP1982]

a5- Thinking and communicating effectively before making a decision or action is important and as leaders, we need to do the best in the this aspect and to model behavior as well as communication #edle5630

[Erik Park @erikP1982]

a4- even preconceived notions act as a constraint to creative thinking. We have to learn to not provide any anchors or box the learning of students. #edle5630

[Erik Park @erikP1982]

a3-This iceberg reminds me of the book millioniare mind by Stanely. Its about mindset and the biggest disease to a healthy mindset is complaining and surrounding ourselves with people who complain. That mindset will only produce results that we will complain about! #edle5630

a2- Quiet leaders make the thinking change for the followers. They also remind me of all the qualities of Introverted Leaders who think before they talk and in more analytical depth.

@quinntM04 @Momof4mclendons @DoughneyJ I am listening to an ebook where criticizing what is wrong has no positive effect in anyway. Even death row inmates at the end do not respond to criticism of their actions. Working with the positives is definitely better than not working at all with the negatives. #edle5630
