@thomascmurray @MEMSPA @casas_jimmy @Joe_Sanfelippo You guys- your words and enthusiasm- were exactly what we needed to close our celebration and send us back to do the work!

[Jennifer Farmer, EdS @MrsFarmer73]

@Joe_Sanfelippo @MEMSPA @casas_jimmy @thomascmurray Thank you again for speaking today and for allowing me the opportunity to celebrate my office manager and friend out loud! We all needed it.

@usedgov Also wait a long time for the process to go through, finally get your letter that you’ll have your loans forgiven within 30 days, and then have somehow the communication between StudentAid and your loan servicer never happens, and you’re still waiting months later…

Systematic review & meta-analysis: readers' theater showed effects on fluency (accuracy, automaticity, and prosody) and on comprehension. Appreciate that readers' theater can act as a pedagogical bridge between word reading & comprehension. 🌉💗https://t.co/DwFAbPaK0l

@teachergoals Funny how the brain works; I don’t actually see the whole image, but my brain pieces together the bits to help me form the whole.

@clegleiter Thanks Chris! I might start by making my daily To Do list, then color-coding the items based on the Matrix. Slow moves are still moves…

Thank you @BethHouf and the whole #LeadLAP crew for this lovely and thoughtful Saturday morning chat. I’m going to try and keep my appointments with you all as self-care! 🥰

A4: I’ve had a couple who truly live the bubble/safe space, and I’ve worked on being a safe space for others. I’ve had a few who were quick to share what others thought were things said in confidence, so it’s especially important to me. #leadlap

[Beth Houf, Ed. D @BethHouf]

Q4: Think about the leaders you have had that have built trust. Share strategies or examples of what they did to make this a reality? #LeadLAP

[The_UnorthodoxPrincipal @leighmragsdale]

A2: Shared leadership is crucial for success & sustainability. I send a google form each summer about current programs, systems, schedules & committees/teams…include interests, goals, passions, & opportunities to share …then I USE THAT DATA moving forward! #leadlap

[Jennifer Farmer, EdS @MrsFarmer73]

I’m not paying for premium, so *leading not I we adding 🫢😆

[Jennifer Farmer, EdS @MrsFarmer73]

A3: I’ve only been in my current role since January, and this is a growth area for me. My director and I are constantly reminding others to focus on self care, but we’re both not l we adding by example yet. #leadlap

[Beth Houf, Ed. D @BethHouf]

Q3: How do you make self-care a reality? #LeadLAP

[Jennifer Farmer, EdS @MrsFarmer73]

@leighmragsdale Agreed! I start a draft of my Friday email on Monday and add to it all week.

[Jennifer Farmer, EdS @MrsFarmer73]

A2: We’re a new school, starting our third year in existence; shared leadership is a must as we grow and learn. I’m constantly watching for leaders I can cultivate in my staff. Those who already buy into the model will be the strongest advocates for growth. #leadlap

[Beth Houf, Ed. D @BethHouf]

Q2: How do you build shared leadership with those you serve? #LeadLAP

[Jennifer Farmer, EdS @MrsFarmer73]

@JayBilly2 I feel this, Jay.

[Jennifer Farmer, EdS @MrsFarmer73]

@CarlaMeyrink I started putting my walkthroughs in my calendar and it’s made a huge difference!

[Jennifer Farmer, EdS @MrsFarmer73]

A1: I HAVE to have alerts set on my Google Calendar. As a K-8 principal, there are little fires that need extinguishing all day, so I would easily miss meetings if my phone and watch didn’t buzz at me! #leadlap

[Beth Houf, Ed. D @BethHouf]

Q1 is here! Share with us your tips, strategies, and resources for time management. #LeadLAP

[Jennifer Farmer, EdS @MrsFarmer73]

Good morning! It’s been a looong time since I joined in a #leadlap chat, and I’m happy to be back! I’m Jennifer, a school principal in the UP of Michigan.

[Beth Houf, Ed. D @BethHouf]

Here we go! Roll call! #LeadLAP
