@ScottRRocco A2: As I understand what AI is, it is a machine that can regurgitate what it is fed. It sounds like Google or Wikipedia on steroids. In the education/research space I guess we’ll have to figure out how to cite AI such as chatgpt. #satchat
A3: I don’t necessarily find inspiration in quotes themselves but from music lyrics. Music always helps change my mood or brings me back to a different time or place. I had a colleague who would say “Rock and Roll” and it got me going. #satchat
A2: Great educators spark student creativity and innovation by understanding the whole student and putting them in situations where they can take risk and think outside the box. #satchat
A2. Effective school leadership is someone who is able to confidently respond in the moment to say “we don’t do that here or that’s not ok” to the student or colleague. #satchat
@Corey_Cohen10@pammoran Follow through doesn’t necessarily happen overnight but good leaders communicate in a variety of ways to keep all parties informed of the progress such as newsletters, board meetings, principal meetings, faculty meetings, etc. I believe we need more face to face contact.
A3: Effective District Leadership is when admin are visible and present in the moment and follow through on their promises. Furthermore, there are able to put effective systems and structures in place to ensure rational decision making at all levels. #satchat
@alisonstoneCBSD Agreed. Some things prior to the pandemic weren’t too rosy but I think educators learned that humans need humans. Rituals and routines, and connecting with people in person is better than through a screen.
A3: Refitting and retooling your staff. Promote lifelong learning and pathways to advancement therefore reducing teacher turnover. This could also include meaningful conversations with staff throughout the year asking them about their career goals. #satchat
A1: We have student teachers come into our schools and keep them abreast of openings. We also have placed an emphasis on supporting paraprofessionals and parents to become certified teachers as a part of our Five-Year Strategic Plan. #satchat
A3: Aspiring educators are interviewing us just as much as we are interviewing them. We must showcase our very best when meeting with candidates. It’s important to highlight the school’s culture, support systems, & opportunities for growth as well. #satchat
@AngeloTMonaco One way to keep teachers is to focus on a positive climate and culture in your buildings where adults and children feel respected. Build relationships!
