Join in the #HISDAdminChat conversation each Sunday night at 6pm CST as we discuss the challenges we face and the successes we celebrate while learning and leading as an HISD Administrator.
You made it! #HISDAdminChat is back and ready to roll. Thanks for making time to kick around the ideas that keep us up at night. #Best30MinutesOfTheWeek
Hello #HISDAdminChat Maggy, AP @DoganElementary AKA #DoganNation! Recently read this “It is better to have grade B strategy, with grade A execution, than the other way around”.
Hey fam! I’m Errica Dotson-Hooper proud #DoganNation leader and my mantra for the week will be that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! #HISDAdminChat
Good Evening #HISDAdminChat ! Beth from De Chaumes happily joining for the first time in a LONG time. This week feels like GAME DAY! We’ve prepared. We’re ready. Let’s do this!
Hey! Debbie from Bellaire HS. Phrase for the week... Two EOC's over and out! And thanking @Bellairesoccer ever time I can for his leadership during testing! #HISDAdminChat
We cannot be effective if we are not visible and willing to get into the work. Build relationships. Know what's going on inside and outside of the campus.
There’s many demands on leaders coming at you from multiple places... this stress can cause us to simply want to get it done and put it away. It’s critical to prioritize & constantly reassess. #HISDAdminChat
A2. I think because their are tasks that leaders have to have done out of compliance and those tasks don't lead to effective practices in the real world of an organization. #HISDAdminChat
Q2: Because (let’s be honest) this job is like drinking from a fire hydrant! Some days being effective means being willing to have your name “on a list.” You gotta be passionate and steadfast. #HISDAdminChat
A2: A leader can get caught up implementing efficient systems instead of doing what’s best for students. Every now and then we must pause for a temperature check to determine what’s truly working and what’s not. #HISDAdminChat

A2. Time! Lol. Our work unfortunately sometimes focuses on meeting deadlines. Getting students to a certain point in the curriculum, regardless of if they learned it to mastery or not. STAAR is here, just get it in. #HISDAdminChat
Are we doing it the right way or are we doing it faster to save time or finances? Focusing on effectiveness will have a longer and better impact if done with fidelity. #HISDAdminChat

A3: My folks don’t ask for permission! They just go forth and do what’s best for kids. I find out later. I love their initiative and ambition. They know I trust them. #HISDAdminChat
A3. You have an environment that is encouraged to learn and innovate and reflect on practices and grow. A healthy culture where teachers feel safe and supported. A professional environment. The only kind of place I will work. #HISDAdminChat
A3. Innovation, leading without fear, trust, creativity, and thinking outside of the box just to name a few. We're a team, I trust and support your judgement. Go make it happen! #HISDAdminChat
A3: Bold unabashed change, limitless potential unleashed, creativity sparking genius and flourishing teachers and students. Let’s make this happen! #HISDAdminChat
My Sunday night, now, feels complete :) . Thanks for the conversation this evening friends. Survive and thrive this week, #HISDAdminChat returns next Sunday.

A2 I believe this can happen when leaders become hyper-focused on the small things and neglect to maintain consistent follow-through on the most important matters.
