Our chat will focus on the idea that we can lead and make positive change from any position in our school systems. Leadership is not about a title, it is a way of thinking and acting.

  • MrsRobbins24 Aug 11 @ 10:40 AM EDT
    #leadlap A1 joy is tougher than happiness. Joy is the ability to be grateful and present in times that aren't perfect to choose the good. Happiness seems to be more situational. Imo #joy is a choice.

    I agree. I think being happy is more temporary. Living with joy is a choice. A way of being. #LeadLAP
    In reply to @APKRentz
  • LatreseYounger Aug 11 @ 10:41 AM EDT
    Joy is not temporary. It isn’t conditional like happiness. It is a belief that as long as you are operating in your purpose, regardless of circumstances, you can be content. #LeadLAP

  • specialtechie Aug 11 @ 10:42 AM EDT
    #leadlap I think of joy as the initial excitement you feel when you see an old friend, hear your favorite song, see the light bulb go on for a student. It's the little moments that make your day. Like the song "Little Wonders" by Matchbox 20.

    A1: I think “happiness” is more often reactionary, attached to a specified moment or event. “Joy” reflects more of an overall mindset, and serves as an approach to situations rather than a response to them. #LeadLAP

    Yes! I agree! It's important to share the "not so great moments," too. When I wrote about the day my mom died (https://t.co/6UYbk0okmc) so many people reached out and shared such kindness to my hurting heart. We have to be real, too! #leadlap #REALedu #passionforkindness

  • KimGriesbach Aug 11 @ 11:25 AM EDT
    A4: Be with the kids as much as possible (halls, cafeteria, classroom, playground, bus). Kids always bring me joy! They help me stay “present” & in the moment. It’s amazing how much joy you miss on a daily basis just by not taking time to pause & notice! #LeadLAP
