Educators talk a lot about the importance of building “relationships.” What that really means… is we need to focus on PEOPLE. There’s nothing magical about it… and there’s certainly not a formula. Just value the people around you… and care about their well being.
If you ask a teacher what they want from their admin, they’re probably not gonna say “instructional leadership.” Most will simply say: “SUPPORT!” It’s important to note, though… that when they do feel supported, they are much more receptive to the instructional leadership.
Don't ask other teachers for what kids were trouble last year...ask them which kids need more support and advice on what they did that worked best. #MindFlip#teachergoals

-Practice multitasking while watching Netflix

If your staff/students don’t understand the “why” behind something, they will never be able to do the “how”. Be transparent, be clear, be honest. Implementation starts with explanation. @DegaSuper@SteeleThoughts@twoguysde@alicekeeler
Change from giving students opportunities to giving students experiences...opportunities provide no ownership... just a good luck guarantee of well we offered it to them...#edchat#InnovatorsMindset#futuredriven
