A3: Implementing an open door policy for questions and learning, will be necessary for veteran teachers. It will be important to cultivate a culture of learning among staff that makes it ok to "not know".#MLDSchat

[lisa thompson @thompson71]

A2: This year it may be useful to expand your view of mentoring with some slightly different criteria in mind. I'm sure lots of teachers could use some mentoring in the area of tech, regardless of the number of years of experience. #MLDSchat

[lisa thompson @thompson71]

A1: I've seen building leaders use very creative ways to introduce new staff to students, parents and other staff members. Displaying their pics and bios on social media account is 1 way. #MLDSchat

[lisa thompson @thompson71]

Thanks for the great conversation. Until next time....#MLDSChat

[lisa thompson @thompson71]

A3: Allow yourself to not have all of the answers and to make mistakes. At the same time, give your staff the same grace. These are uncharted waters, so we are all learning. #MLDSChat

[lisa thompson @thompson71]

A2: Your stakeholders will let you know if it's working. Seek feedback often and from multiple stakeholders.#MLDSChat
