@covili @jordandistrict @UENPD @KBeddes So true. @KBeddes has been moderator queen

[Kami Taylor @taylor4teach]

A4: I have no online presence outside #utedchat. I have been absent for a bit but could not miss the chance to say thanks and high5s for 10 years!

[Kami Taylor @taylor4teach]

@KBeddes @Coach_Rarick @KrystleBassett @MrCampbellRocks is a principal who teaches guitar. I know it has been enjoyable and a good connection to the classroom. @MrCampbellRocks how do you manage your time?

[Kami Taylor @taylor4teach]

@Coach_Rarick That is great. I think your admin exp will only add context and quality to that program. Congrats!

[Kami Taylor @taylor4teach]

@Coach_Rarick Your hesitation means you made a thoughtful choice. I know we are only twitter colleagues but your responses tell me you are making decisions for the right reasons

[Kami Taylor @taylor4teach]

A5: I think there is a misperception that admin = power. Some people want to be in charge but those people are not great leaders. I have really liked the servant leaders I have worked with #UTedchat

[Kami Taylor @taylor4teach]

A1: I feel sheepish saying anything. I am a new admin and I cannot think of any day where I have been able to do what I planned or even get to what I want #UTedchat

[Kami Taylor @taylor4teach]

Thanks @Coach_Rarick this has been fascinating - I am lurking and learning #UTedchat

[Kami Taylor @taylor4teach]

A6: I have found it fascinating to see who works well with adult learners. #UTedchat

[Kami Taylor @taylor4teach]

A4: @LesliJoe and @effort2learn already nailed this one. Focus on student outcomes. I never want carbon copy teachers but I absolutely want successful students. #UTedchat

[Kami Taylor @taylor4teach]

@GeorgianaArtJoy What types of school-wide data do you use? We have been trying to make those connections and I would love to know what you have found as a good talking/starting point

[Kami Taylor @taylor4teach]

@And_B_Clark That makes it so much better!!!! Your gif is a former player who retired in 2019 so all good. As an FYI - the Dallas kicker missed 5 goal attempts during the playoffs. He literally has one job and he blew it 5 times when it mattered

[Kami Taylor @taylor4teach]

@LesliJoe Agreed. I think video is a great data source. Once we get over how much we hate watching ourselves we can focus on student interactions and outcomes

[Kami Taylor @taylor4teach]

@KBeddes @KrystleBassett @JuabSD Data - yay! We need somewhere to start and somewhere to go

[Kami Taylor @taylor4teach]

@And_B_Clark This was a bold gif considering the massive kicking blind spot but I get your message

[Kami Taylor @taylor4teach]

@pamturley55 I think our district perspective is “coaching for all = growth for all” but our teacher perspective still seems to be stuck in a remediation mindset. I agree. Secondary is a tougher sell than elem

[Kami Taylor @taylor4teach]

@effort2learn The standard answer - it depends… I think the $ has moved the needle in terms of getting people to try coaching. We need to develop some go to first time topics. Long-term let them choose what to work on but initially we need a success so they want to keep going.

[Kami Taylor @taylor4teach]

A2: we are starting with paying people to complete a coaching cycle #UTedchat

[Kami Taylor @taylor4teach]

@KBeddes I wish I really knew this bc I have some people I would like to help. My instinct is what you already said - vulnerability. People need to know you have made mistakes and are open to learning so they can trust you

[Kami Taylor @taylor4teach]

A1: It took way to long for me to realize a good mento requires authenticity from the mentee. Growth requires missteps without shame. #UTedchat

[Kami Taylor @taylor4teach]

@MsKelCan @And_B_Clark And sometimes they even see a diff pic which is fun
