A5: Principals must look at every situation on a case by case basis. No two situations will be the same, therefore, they cannot be all be handled “equally” #msum640

A4: School safety must be at the top of a principal's list of priorities. If students aren't safe, they cannot learn. #msum640

@amy_mattison This is a point I had never thought of. Being available to staff in several capacities is beneficial.

[Bradley Johnson @mrjohnson_teach]

A3:The principal must be aware of the needs his/her students, provide services, & professional development for staff. Finding the best solution whether it is a teacher, counselor, etc. #msum640

@kplarso I think they are both important as well. I do not think we can say one is more important than the other.

[Bradley Johnson @mrjohnson_teach]

A2: Management is necessary because goals need to get accomplished. Instructional leadership is important because it helps teachers become better at their craft. ##MSUM640

@schudog75 I like this answer. That is very true and a simple way of putting it.

[Bradley Johnson @mrjohnson_teach]

A1 continued Example: I manage our city pool, and I have gained the trust of my guards through leadership where I have placed my trust in them and they want to perform certain roles like dropping off money #MSUM640

[Bradley Johnson @mrjohnson_teach]

A1: Leadership is getting people to do what you want because they want to do it whereas management is getting people to accomplish a goal no mattter what. #msum640

@EthanSimonson7 This is important. I think too often schools have good intentions and teachers time is taken away through loss of their one prep and the mentor/mentee don't have an authentic meeting. #ed635

[Bradley Johnson @mrjohnson_teach]

A5 Continued I also think there should be a little bit of unstructured time where people can talk about what they want on their own. This would make people less nervous than talking to a group of people. #ed635

[Bradley Johnson @mrjohnson_teach]

A5. I want to make sure the mentor is someone who gets along with the new employee. For induction I want to include more time with all employees, not just new ones. #ed635

[Bradley Johnson @mrjohnson_teach]

A4 I went into teaching through transition to teaching. I was able to go to other districts to observe. #ed635

[Bradley Johnson @mrjohnson_teach]

@roe_CC This is so true. A lot of times schools forget about the little things such as finding post-its or online resources. #ed635

[Bradley Johnson @mrjohnson_teach]

@roe_CC I agree! This should not be looked at as just another job or stipend. #ed635

[Bradley Johnson @mrjohnson_teach]

A3. The two must get along & enjoy being around each other. You can't just stick anyone with a lot of experience with a new person. #ed635

[Bradley Johnson @mrjohnson_teach]

@EdLdshpMSUM I am. It seems to have stopped refreshing for me, or people stopped answering. #ed635

[Bradley Johnson @mrjohnson_teach]

A2 Finding a way for the employees to fit in is the most important part. It's critical that new employees have a sense of belonging #ed635

[Bradley Johnson @mrjohnson_teach]

A1 Induction is the entire process of bringing on a new teacher. Mentoring is part of induction. #ed635
