    A1: As I grow professionally, I have become more big picture. (+) Keeps me goal-oriented and focused on the end game. (-) Like a home renovation, no one likes a surprise in the middle of a project! #ohedchat
  • bobby__dodd - Moderator Mar 7 @ 9:08 PM EST
    A1: Detail-oriented. I find it beneficial to focus on small problems & utilize tools to find solutions. Using Quality Learning tools https://t.co/F1w2AeB2h8 helps provide storyboards to lead to solutions #ohedchat

  • chaz_steenkamp Mar 7 @ 9:08 PM EST
    A1 - I am a detail-orientated thinker, every little thing in my day has to be planned so I know what I'm doing next. The cons of this that if something goes wrong its hard to adapt, and pros is you're always on top of things #ohedchat

    A1 I am very big picture. It can be hard to stop and think of all all the steps to get to the end; I always want to start with the "why". #ohedchat
  • chaz_steenkamp Mar 7 @ 9:09 PM EST
    Hahaha making it a late night then ;) Glad to be here :) #ohedchat
    In reply to @bethctech, @bobby__dodd, @AlyseConsiglio
  • Jacki_prati - Moderator Mar 7 @ 9:09 PM EST
    A1 we need both kinds of thinker in our schools-I am big picture for sure. I need my team to help me work out the fine details #ohedchat
  • TebnerEbner Mar 7 @ 9:09 PM EST
    A1: I tend to be detail-oriented, but I can see big picture, too. The downside of detail-oriented is getting so caught up in the small stuff that the ultimate purpose gets lost. Upside: thorough thinking, preparation. #ohedchat
  • jillcolaw Mar 7 @ 9:09 PM EST
    A1 definitely big picture and getting lost in the details. #ohedchat
  • Jmitch462 Mar 7 @ 9:09 PM EST

    In reply to @chaz_steenkamp, @bobby__dodd, @AlyseConsiglio
  • epesART Mar 7 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1 Big picture. Pros: are seeing the connections between seemingly disparate ideas. Working within constraints to engage creative mindset. #ohedchat
  • AlyseConsiglio Mar 7 @ 9:10 PM EST
    Ahhh....flexibility is a key skill! #ohedchat
    In reply to @chaz_steenkamp

    Interesting. Would think a move to Admin would lead to detail oriented #OHedchat
    In reply to @AlyseConsiglio
  • tim082669 Mar 7 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A-1 Big picture mostly, however there are@many times when we must change hats to be deta oriented...especially when I can often be a Lone Ranger...no asst. few support personnel in a small 7-12 building #ohedchat

  • moler3031 Mar 7 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1: I find myself to be more big picture - I create lesson plans, but find I never stick to them. I'm usually letting my Ss drive what I do. #ohedchat
  • cgiardino3 Mar 7 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1: I like details and as it helps me focus on one thing at a time and then I can focus on the big picture. Pro: Being prepared #ohedchat
  • bobby__dodd - Moderator Mar 7 @ 9:11 PM EST
    A1: The pros of being detail-oriented include tackling smaller problems which lead to solutions that are practical & can be accomplished. This helps morale & provides direction towards your goals. #ohedchat
  • steelsaviour Mar 7 @ 9:11 PM EST
    I find that I am a big picture person by default, but Im trying to blend in being more detail oriented. I think they can compliment each other. #ohedchat
  • HMGriffin30 Mar 7 @ 9:11 PM EST
    A1: This is a tough choice, but I would say I’m more detail-oriented. One pro to this mindset is thinking ahead and planning for any obstacles (and brainstorming possible solutions). One downfall could be the limitation of your focus and not exploring other options. #ohedchat
  • BrookeIncorvaia Mar 7 @ 9:11 PM EST
    Hi #ohedchat! Brooke Incorvaia, Groveport Madison MSN jumping in a few minutes late!
  • GreatWeissOne Mar 7 @ 9:11 PM EST
    A1: Big picture. I know that details help you achieve that big picture, but it’s just not me. The drawback is I tend to be too ambitious w/ goals. #ohedchat

  • tyarnold18 Mar 7 @ 9:11 PM EST
    A1: I would like to say a combo of big picture and detailed oriented. Con(s) miss some details and the big picture might not be as clear. Pro(s) there is a big picture in mind and details of how to get there. #ohedchat
  • TebnerEbner Mar 7 @ 9:11 PM EST
    I like that part of detail-oriented. I also like that I've often thought of the "Plan B" and "Plan C" possibilities. #ohedchat

    In reply to @tim082669
  • acottos Mar 7 @ 9:12 PM EST
    A1: big picture...pro: creates a large plan/vision. Many can be included. Con: too large...focus unclear...not achievable in large chunks. #ohedchat
  • ava_wettrick Mar 7 @ 9:12 PM EST
    A1 is definitely why we have teams. when the moonshots and important tiny details come together you'll function wayy more effectively #ohedchat

    A1 I can get lost in the big picture and then I never have the follow through I need. #ohedchat
  • cgiardino3 Mar 7 @ 9:12 PM EST
    I think we always have to think of Plan B and C because not everything pans out the way we think it will. #ohedchat
    In reply to @TebnerEbner
  • Jacki_prati - Moderator Mar 7 @ 9:12 PM EST
    I can only be detail oriented until I get bored with the details! The best part is that my team knows that and they know when to say...okay, we'll take it from here! #ohedchat

  • bethctech Mar 7 @ 9:13 PM EST
    I love the balance between the two. There are times you really need your detail people, so you don't miss out. We still need the dreamers and creative souls to push us out of our comfort zones. #ohedchat
    In reply to @AlyseConsiglio, @Jacki_prati
  • TebnerEbner Mar 7 @ 9:13 PM EST
    And we truly do need both. I need my big-picture friends to help me keep my eye on the ultimately purpose and goal. They need my detail orientation to help us get to that goal. #ohedchat
    In reply to @steelsaviour
  • steelsaviour Mar 7 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1: As other have said, I think the one con for being big picture, at least for me, is that its easy to miss important details. #ohedchat
  • acottos Mar 7 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1.2: I'd love to be big picture that could plan out all the details to make it happen! It's possible...just will take time! #ohedchat

  • amyjojo14 Mar 7 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1: no clue how to answer this one. I always have a big goal in mind, but I love my checklist of all the things to accomplish to get there. Pro: I feel like I always have goals in mind. Con: sometimes the big picture gets lost. #ohedchat
  • cgiardino3 Mar 7 @ 9:13 PM EST
    I think you have to try and balance the two. #ohedchat

    A1: I tend to have a big picture in mind but develop the details as I go...probably more detailed oriented. #ohedchat

  • BrookeIncorvaia Mar 7 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1- I'm definitely a big picture thinker. Pros- seeing the end goal, despite mishaps. The challenge is understanding the perspective of detail-oriented folks. I strive to see through their lenses and meet their needs. #ohedchat
  • Jmitch462 Mar 7 @ 9:14 PM EST
    Big picture to a fault! These end of the quarter holes w/ missing Ss assignments are my complete downfall; but achieving long term goals is my forte, so there are positives, too! #ohedchat

    A1. I try to focus on the big picture, but we must also be detailed oriented to problem solve and find out what goes wrong with things or how things work. Details can be extremely important when calculating problems!#ohedchat

    You're probably right. It's why I am still a happy classroom T, even after 20 yrs. Why go to work if you're not excited about being there? #ohedchat

    A5- I recently had a mentor tell me that it takes inspection to get people on board. We can continually "talk at them" but that does not create buy-in. We must find a way to inspire. I have taken that advice to heart. @GMNorth #ohedchat
