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.
Naomi, I feel for you there. I'm at Dunkin before going to my 6 year ol's basketball game while tuned into #LeadLAP & coffee makes the juggling act possible
Good morning friends. I am so excited to have @ElisaBostwick author of the #LEAPeffect hosting today. I am so sorry I cannot join you... I am speaking to a group of administrators in Irvine, CA to help spread the #LeadLAP message! Have an awesome chat.
Good morning!!! Welcome to #LeadLAP!!! So happy to have @ElisaBostwick steering the ship this morning and ready to be inspired y this awesome crew! #tlap#LEAPeffect
Welcome, everyone! I'm Elisabeth Bostwick, educator and author of Take the L.E.A.P. Ignite a Culture of Innovation! #LEAPeffect#leadlap Thrilled to be here with you to talk, Inspiring a Culture of Innovation!
Good morning!!! Welcome to #LeadLAP!!! So happy to have @ElisaBostwick steering the ship this morning and ready to be inspired y this awesome crew! #tlap#LEAPeffect
Q1: The term innovation can be viewed as a buzzword, but it's something that we need to be intentional about fostering in our schools. Why is fostering a culture of innovation in our schools a non-negotiable? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A1: Innovation means that we are constantly reflecting on our practices & making necessary shifts to improve. Creating the conditions that empower students to innovate through learning & #FutureReady skills has the potential to lead to new, better ideas. #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A1: I think innovation starts with creativity. Often times those words are conflated. Innovation is creativity that is assessed and shown to be successful. That’s the difference. We see a lot of creativity, but rarely do we see innovation #leadLAP
Q1: The term innovation can be viewed as a buzzword, but it's something that we need to be intentional about fostering in our schools. Why is fostering a culture of innovation in our schools a non-negotiable? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A1. Society is changing- so schools will change too. We must innovate (do things for kids that are focused on skills and amazing experiences) so that it is the right change and our schools grow towards excellence! #LeadLAP
A1: We need to see innovation as reflection and progress. An ideation of what we have done before - otherwise we ourselves are not learning or growing. #LeadLAP
Q1: The term innovation can be viewed as a buzzword, but it's something that we need to be intentional about fostering in our schools. Why is fostering a culture of innovation in our schools a non-negotiable? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A1: Our students are growing up in a world that is VERY different than the one we had. We have a DUTY to adapt and empower them with experiences they need to succeed in an ever-changing world! Complacency is NOT an option! #leadLAP#LEAPeffect
Q1: The term innovation can be viewed as a buzzword, but it's something that we need to be intentional about fostering in our schools. Why is fostering a culture of innovation in our schools a non-negotiable? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A1. A culture of innovation is a must because we are always changing, our world is always changing, and we are preparing students to navigate the changes for a lifetime! #leadlap
A1: Innovation is the product of a healthy and creative culture! Fostering a culture of innovation enables students and teachers to take risks, engage in learning, and create meaningful and relevant experiences for everyone! #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Q1: The term innovation can be viewed as a buzzword, but it's something that we need to be intentional about fostering in our schools. Why is fostering a culture of innovation in our schools a non-negotiable? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A1: Because RISK is everything! We must create space to allow for everyone in it to focus on something outside the box. Ts, Ss, Ls must all find some space there- on purpose! #LeadLAP
Q1: The term innovation can be viewed as a buzzword, but it's something that we need to be intentional about fostering in our schools. Why is fostering a culture of innovation in our schools a non-negotiable? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A1 because innovation is a requirement in every task, career, and trade. Innovation is the powerhouse of our advancement and it has the potential to make the world a better place. #LeadLAP
A1. This is a terrific one from @gcouros about innovation. "We must first focus on furthering our own learning and growth."
We should all strive toward learning and growth. #LeadLAP
A1-Innovation is a key to problem solving and the foundation of critical thinking. That's the exact skills I want my Ss and co workers to have in life. Oh! And it's also the ability to take a RISK #leadlap
Q1: The term innovation can be viewed as a buzzword, but it's something that we need to be intentional about fostering in our schools. Why is fostering a culture of innovation in our schools a non-negotiable? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A1 we need to keep creating, trying something different, pushing our thinking and designing for the future, we make progress by iterating and reflecting, and taking some risks with learning #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect#future4EDU
A1 Innovation = all the things!!! Choice, empathy, creativity, problem solving, user minded, and and. Who doesn't want all these things?!?!? Compassion over compliance please. #leadlap#GoogleEI
A1) I feel like if we’re not pushing ourselves and each other to bring new and better approaches to learning, we miss opportunities for Ss, staff, & admin that could be making a bigger impact and when we feel this imapct together, culture thrives. #LeadLAP
Good morning #LeadLAP tweeters! I'd have to say that a culture of innovation is non-negotiable because our world is changing at breakneck speeds! Education has keep up or it will be left behind. Where would we been then? Is this the reason we are where we are in the US right now?
Q1: The term innovation can be viewed as a buzzword, but it's something that we need to be intentional about fostering in our schools. Why is fostering a culture of innovation in our schools a non-negotiable? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A1. Innovation may be misinterpreted as this huge undertaking, often involving technology. Keeping the true meaning as the core - change, transform, is necessary for a culture of that’s the way we do buwinras here. #leadlap
A1: So many reasons! What Ss are doing outside of school is often deeper and more relevant than what they are doing inside our schools. We must ask if our current practices are preparing them for the future workforce. Who are they really learning from? #leadlap
Q1: The term innovation can be viewed as a buzzword, but it's something that we need to be intentional about fostering in our schools. Why is fostering a culture of innovation in our schools a non-negotiable? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A1: Without a culture of innovation, students progress through school with knowledge, but no skills to know how to assimilate or create. #Futureready skills have to be our focus to give students a chance at being competitive. #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Q1: The term innovation can be viewed as a buzzword, but it's something that we need to be intentional about fostering in our schools. Why is fostering a culture of innovation in our schools a non-negotiable? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
We adapt, we innovate, or we stagnate! This world is turning to quickly to get stuck. We have to teach our students to be be innovative, creative, and inventors. Problem solving is a skill! #LeadLAP
Q1: The term innovation can be viewed as a buzzword, but it's something that we need to be intentional about fostering in our schools. Why is fostering a culture of innovation in our schools a non-negotiable? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Q2: Every single one of us is a leader and a learner! How can we ensure that both our colleagues and students feel supported as responsible risk-takers in their learning journey? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Q1: Because our kids will work at jobs that don’t even exist right now. Not focusing on innovation handicaps our students. It is akin to not teaching them to read. #leadlap
A1. Innovation keeps our culture fresh and positive. Not dwelling on how it’s always been, not cursing change as “just more on my plate”. When it’s who we are and what we do, we come alive. #leadlap
Q2: Every single one of us is a leader and a learner! How can we ensure that both our colleagues and students feel supported as responsible risk-takers in their learning journey? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A1: Why be boring, outdated, mundane, & stagnant when you can be novel, pioneering, creative, & modern? There should be a balance between both worlds...learn from the old (don't throw out what works)...but work smarter, not harder! #LeadLAP
A2: The foundation of relationships with trust as the cornerstone is pivotal to ensure that every individual is supported . Seizing opportunities to authentically connect, extend support, engaging in reflective convos., etc. make a dramatic difference! #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A1: Innovators are our world changers. They change the way we think, learn, and live. They are problem solvers and that’s what our world needs. #LeadLAP
A1: Student achievement hinges on innovation. I believe the view of innovation can either cause people to click their heels or cringe. Innovation can be big or small, a new project/program or a small change or adjustment to what’s currently in place. #LeadLAP
Q1: The term innovation can be viewed as a buzzword, but it's something that we need to be intentional about fostering in our schools. Why is fostering a culture of innovation in our schools a non-negotiable? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A1. This is a terrific one from @gcouros about innovation. "We must first focus on furthering our own learning and growth."
We should all strive toward learning and growth. #LeadLAP
I like that visual of creativity being the spark of innovation. In design-thinking we embrace empathy as the catalyst, but creativity is deeply woven throughout the process. Great perspective! #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A1: Innovation is creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, and perseverance all rolled into one! Who wouldn’t want their Ss showing those traits?! #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A1 Innovation = all the things!!! Choice, empathy, creativity, problem solving, user minded, and and. Who doesn't want all these things?!?!? Compassion over compliance please. #leadlap#GoogleEI
A1 Because it supports students in their journey as they develop 21st century skills (creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication). The culture is student centered and allows them to create/design/modify on their own to reach success #lifelonglearner#leadlap
A2: Be a risk taker in my role to show them I can do it - and its okay when I fail. Never say No to their ideas & support them through their process. #LeadLAP
Q2: Every single one of us is a leader and a learner! How can we ensure that both our colleagues and students feel supported as responsible risk-takers in their learning journey? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
I just did an activity to test my SS ability to innovate. Out of 88 student groups. Only 1 innovated. When I asked Ss why that was essentially we discoverd a culture of convergent "state testing" thinking. AKA 1 right answer to things. #leadlap
1) Fostering an #AwardWinningCulture is created through a mindset of intentionality of Character, Excellence, and Community. It’s impossible to be about exellence if you’re not committed to a #FutureDriven vision of innovation!
#LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A1: When we innovate we have the power to find the one thing that works for a student and changes their trajectory (and it’s worth it for even one kid) #LeadLAP
A1: The rapid rate of change taking place will require the future generation to be more adaptable, agile, curious and innovative than ever to ensure a happy, healthy productive life. #leadlap
A1: Simple truth: the kids sitting in our classrooms are not the same type of kids we had in our classrooms ten, five or even two years ago. 21st century learning requires intentional communication, critical-thinking, collaboration and the big one - creativity. #leadLAP
Q2: Every single one of us is a leader and a learner! How can we ensure that both our colleagues and students feel supported as responsible risk-takers in their learning journey? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A1) Our kids are coming to schools with more advanced skill set and different needs. Plus, we must prepare them for jobs that have not been created. #LeadLAP
A2: The best way I know to support is to show how it's done. So when it comes to risk taking I talk about w/ my inner circle what I'm doing, learning, succeeding, and failing at #LeadLAP
A2) We help Ss and colleagues feel supported by being supportive! Taking ideas seriously, treating with respect, honoring decisions, providing scaffolding. #leadlap
A1: I totally agree that Innovation has become a buzz word. I like to think of 'seeking the future' opposed to 'waiting for what's next' as the nonnegotiable for schools!! Educators have a damn special place to be true creators of the future! #LeadLAP
I think empathy is a great starter for creativity. Having empathy and compassion are great formulas for creative solutions that otherwise wouldn’t be considered! #leadLAP
A2: Sharing our own setbacks and successes as a leader & a learner creates an environment where others feel more comfortable to take risks of their own. It’s a cycle. None of us are perfect - we all mess it up. And it’s okay. #LeadLAP
Q2: Every single one of us is a leader and a learner! How can we ensure that both our colleagues and students feel supported as responsible risk-takers in their learning journey? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A2: Need to develop our staff, from the top down, to realize learning involves risk-taking & failure. If there's no failure, there's no risk or learning. There's static pond syndrome. Even leaders need room to fail and grace from the rest of us to support their learning. #LeadLAP
A1: We can't keep teaching kids the way we were taught. We have to be steps ahead of the game b/c we are preparing them for jobs, careers, & a future that does not exist yet. They have to learn the skills to be innovators themselves & it is our job to model those skills. #LeadLAP
A2: We have to be willing to fail-forward and share our experiences with others. If people only see our successes, they have an inaccurate perception of what risk-taking requires! #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Q2: Every single one of us is a leader and a learner! How can we ensure that both our colleagues and students feel supported as responsible risk-takers in their learning journey? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
#LeadLAP A2: By modeling the act itself! If we take risks, others will see that it is okay. The biggest GAINS are in the risks. Failures happen too, but we will never get very far if we never take risks. #bethewildcard
Q2: Every single one of us is a leader and a learner! How can we ensure that both our colleagues and students feel supported as responsible risk-takers in their learning journey? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
In every field, we need to continuously analyze if there's a better way to do what we're doing. It doesn't mean we need to leave behind what's working, but all about continuous improvement that leads to new and improved ideas & results.
#LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A1 because innovation is a requirement in every task, career, and trade. Innovation is the powerhouse of our advancement and it has the potential to make the world a better place. #LeadLAP
A1: Fostering a culture of innovation is essential in continuing to move forward. Also, remember that we don’t even know what kinds of jobs will be available in the future for our current Ss. Maintaining a mindset of innovation will best prepare Ss for the future. #LeadLAP
Q2: Every single one of us is a leader and a learner! How can we ensure that both our colleagues and students feel supported as responsible risk-takers in their learning journey? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Q1: It is non-negotiable because humans are naturally innovative and schools as systems often stifle innovation. Systems deal with boxes. It is time to remember who we are as humans. #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A2 we lead the way and jump right in with them! I love sharing when I'm taking a risk, when I have doubts about something and then working together to improve, to rethink, try again. #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect#future4EDU#Quotes4EDU
How did you know that they innovated? What criteria do we use to determine this? Did THEY realize that they innovated? This is very interesting. What was the activity, and what grade level? #leadlap
A2: Clichè: Model it.
But it’s more than that: celebrate failure because it’s innovative! Praise the ones who go out to left field or beyond the fence- Make it obvious that risk is reasonable & risk is loved! #LeadLAP
Q2: Every single one of us is a leader and a learner! How can we ensure that both our colleagues and students feel supported as responsible risk-takers in their learning journey? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A2 As leaders, once we encourage Ts to take risks, we can not reprimand if the risk does not go well. Be encouraging and help them plan for the next "risk". #LeadLAP
Yes, empathy and cultivating empathy is essential and is the first step in #DesignThinking for this very reason We need to connect with the needs of others in order to innovate what we're doing. #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Demonatrate risk taking. Model learning through failure. Celebrate it! Compete in something your sure to fail. Model what you learned through the failure and keep moving forward. Our kids don't know how to fail. #LeadLAP
Q2: Every single one of us is a leader and a learner! How can we ensure that both our colleagues and students feel supported as responsible risk-takers in their learning journey? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A2 We must model risk taking. Yesterday we had “Coffee with Principals” for parents. We had our students share how Blended Learning is occurring in school. Having kids share our story = empowerment and risk taking. #LeadLAP
"Never say 'No' to their ideas." Love this, Kristina! An idea is a spark for conversation which can transform into something absolutely incredible! #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Q2: Every single one of us is a leader and a learner! How can we ensure that both our colleagues and students feel supported as responsible risk-takers in their learning journey? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A2 Help them find the learning in the "failure" Every risk we take teaches us something, whether or not we're successful. When we truly understand this it becomes easier to "give it a go."
#leadlap
A2: It has to be part of your culture. Modeling risk taking, supporting students & teachers‘ ideas...I believe in the importance of finding ways to say YES as often as I can. Distributed leadership & ownership are essential for building a culture of learning! #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Q2: Every single one of us is a leader and a learner! How can we ensure that both our colleagues and students feel supported as responsible risk-takers in their learning journey? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A2: I think the best way is to ask people what they’re working, what they’re trying and if they need any help. Through hearing each other’s stories we can encourage and help troubleshoot without judgement #LeadLAP
A1b. Innovation is a skill (or practice), not a content standard. Therefore, innovation can be used to enhance some of the standards you are teaching. What standard are you teaching this week that you can insert the skill of innovation? Great ? for reflection #LeadLAP
A2: We have to model taking risks. Put ourselves out there and not be afraid to highlight risks that have not panned out but then show how we have learned and grown from them. When Ts or Ss take risks and the results are not what was hoped for, celebrate those risks. #LeadLAP
A2 It's all about the approach in collaboration. We must we willing to listen and blend ideas making our teammates feel important in the process. Value-added leadership is sometimes lacking due to folks feeling threatened by others' success. #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Q2: Every single one of us is a leader and a learner! How can we ensure that both our colleagues and students feel supported as responsible risk-takers in their learning journey? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A2: by modeling that as a leader. If you are willing I take risks then they are too. Create a safe culture to fail. In our school one Keybof Excellence we believed was that #FailureLeadsToSuccess. If we made a mistake we got right back up, brushed it off, & tried again. #LeadLAP
A2: Innovation starts with creating a culture where staff and students feel safe and supported to take risks, where failures are seen as a part of the journey instead of something to fear #LeadLAP
A2 We need to try it first so we can model any risk-taking experience to our colleagues and students. We cannot play safe all the time, we have to jump and then share the pros and cons of the experience. Also, share missed opps! #leadlap
A2) If we want to promote a culture of risk takers, we have to go all in together with our Ss and colleagues. When those around us see us as learners and right there with them diving in, the desire to learn can become contagious. #leadlap
A2: You build enough trust to provide the honest and direct feedback people needed in order to allow people to outgrow their own best thinking. #LeadLAP
A2: We must model risk taking! In the last 10 days we have worn the hats of an architect, graphic designer, educator, data analyst, host, and friend. We share all of these hats with others so that risk taking and walking into uncharted territories becomes the norm. #LeadLAP
A3: Embracing opportunities to recognize the strengths, talents, and successes of those we serve alongside adds value and uplifts. Let's make celebration be a consistent practice!
@gcouros shares about it here, too: https://t.co/JNA4BqoG3b#LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
I think its important to share what you feel is risk taking. Most would see me at work and think I am outgoing, when in actuality I am very much an introvert. So when I do things out of my comfort zone I tell people. #LeadLAP
A2 We must model risk taking. Yesterday we had “Coffee with Principals” for parents. We had our students share how Blended Learning is occurring in school. Having kids share our story = empowerment and risk taking. #LeadLAP
Good morning! Brandi Reams, here! I’m a Kindergarten teacher from Wilson, NC. Excited to learn more about this #LeadLap/#LEAPEffect movement! Joining a bit late, but hoping to catch up!
A1: Each student brings questions, curiosity and creativity into the classrolm...the prerequisites for innovation. So teachers motivate them and give them space to use these qualities #LeadLAP
Same here, I'm constantly leveraging different learning protocols or experiences that use #DesignThinking. It keeps our job fresh and fun, in my opinion! #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A1 To be honest, in most other professions it’s considered malpractice to ignore the need for innovation!
Think of the medical field. My husband just had a total hip replacement w/state of the art technology & he was walking stairs on day 2! #leadlap
A2: Responsible risk takers is an interesting term for me. At least it is for me who isn’t much of an adrenaline seeker. The term risk taking can be a barrier in itself #leadlap
This is a great idea, Chris. I do a similar thing with parents, but never have had students share their innovations. I'm stealing this! #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Sharing accomplishments with others along an innovators journey, positively encouraging the journey, and modeling innovations as an administrator can help educators and students to feel supported. #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Q2: Every single one of us is a leader and a learner! How can we ensure that both our colleagues and students feel supported as responsible risk-takers in their learning journey? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A2: Innovation starts with creating a culture where staff and students feel safe and supported to take risks, where mistakes are seen as a part of the journey instead of something to fear #LeadLAP
This is an amazing way to connect with families and help them to understand how school is shifting and ways they can support. We need to involve all stakeholders in the conversation. Seeing the community come together is impactful! #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A2 We must model risk taking. Yesterday we had “Coffee with Principals” for parents. We had our students share how Blended Learning is occurring in school. Having kids share our story = empowerment and risk taking. #LeadLAP
A2: Lots of voice and choice (Small and big). This is especially important for the learning environment. I can’t assume all my students want to listen to music while working ( and I can’t assume none of them do either) #leadlap
A3: When you see great work - tell them! Tap people on the shoulder & say "I think you'd be good in ____ leadership role because..." sometimes they don't see it themselves! #LeadLAP
A3. Let's begin, as @bethhill2829 models for us, setting goals of the shifts that are taking place and immediately checking the data shared in order to adjust our course, if necessary. #LeadLAP
A3: Embracing opportunities to recognize the strengths, talents, and successes of those we serve alongside adds value and uplifts. Let's make celebration be a consistent practice!
@gcouros shares about it here, too: https://t.co/JNA4BqoG3b#LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
2) Model, Encourage, and CELEBRATE risk-taking!
I’ve jumped in on student-led podcasting without any prior knowledge or experience. You can bet students, educators, and parents take notice.
Also, connect with others taking the #LEAPeffect!
https://t.co/Y9EAqIuzMb#LeadLAP
A2 By sharing the risks we've taken that haven't worked out, with a sense of humor and with a mindset of forward thinking. What did I learn from this? What's the next step I can take? Share the thinking.
#LeadLAP
A3. When we model learning from our colleagues, even as leaders, we promote a safe culture of coaching. Self-reflection and transparency as a leader creates a safe place for our staff to try, and try again. #LeadLAP
A2: We do this by modeling, supporting students and colleagues, celebrating growth and successes, learning and growing as we make mistakes, respecting each other’s ideas, etc. #LeadLAP
A1. Fostering a culture of innovation is imperative in today’s society where the only way forward is to have an open mind to trying new things! You cannot move forward without taking risks. #LEADLap
Q1: The term innovation can be viewed as a buzzword, but it's something that we need to be intentional about fostering in our schools. Why is fostering a culture of innovation in our schools a non-negotiable? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
And when we work alongside one another to support and fail forward through perseverance, we identify how to retool and create the best learning experiences. And the same goes for students. Celebrate the growth! #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A2: Clichè: Model it.
But it’s more than that: celebrate failure because it’s innovative! Praise the ones who go out to left field or beyond the fence- Make it obvious that risk is reasonable & risk is loved! #LeadLAP
Q2: Every single one of us is a leader and a learner! How can we ensure that both our colleagues and students feel supported as responsible risk-takers in their learning journey? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A4: Whether talking about Ss or Ts or Admin, celebration is a very crucial ingredient to innovation, strong EDUs, and a cohesive and positive culture. We all appreciate a little acknowledgement when we have a win. :) Look for the positives and celebrate! #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Yes, yes, YES! When we view our roles from the perspective of duty, we are compelled to try harder, and motivated to do whatever it takes to support and empower those around us! #leadLAP#LEAPeffect
Love this! Communication gets us involved in each other’s risk taking journeys which is so incredibly valuable for spreading innovation AND building relationships! #leadlap
A2: I think the best way is to ask people what they’re working, what they’re trying and if they need any help. Through hearing each other’s stories we can encourage and help troubleshoot without judgement #LeadLAP
A2) Modeling & Supporting them as the risk is taking place. If a failure takes place, we discuss what went wrong and right. How can we make these changes and improve for next time. Encourage them to never give up.#LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Q2: Every single one of us is a leader and a learner! How can we ensure that both our colleagues and students feel supported as responsible risk-takers in their learning journey? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A2b Letting go of micro-managing and requiring compliance opens the gate for thinking and innovation, even with failure. Applies to students AND staff. #leadlap
Well that being said....@Mr_D_Russ students kept asking me to go to New York on a field trip. I held them off by making them do all the math to figure out it would cost thousands of dollars - but eventually I did have to say no! #LeadLAP
Not just recognize, but also utilize. As we put the strength of others to work collaboratively the results of everyone’s strengths are multiplied. #LeadLAP
Q4: Every single child has immense potential. How are you creating a legacy that will support students to awaken their true potential? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Absolutely! And then work together through reflective conversation to retool. If we don't step beyond our comfort zone, growth doesn't occur. #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A2 As leaders, once we encourage Ts to take risks, we can not reprimand if the risk does not go well. Be encouraging and help them plan for the next "risk". #LeadLAP
A3: Send a note, stop by a colleague's room for a chat just to say, "Hey. I am noticing you, and I value what you are doing." I was better at this previously. I need to get back in that habit. #LeadLAP
A1 It’s important to promote innovation in schools because the world is constantly changing and schools should keep up with it because we are molding the future that will ha e to go out and survive and thrive in it. #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Modeling for our teachers and students and taking advantage of every opportunity to showcase new skills lets them know that it’s ok to try something new and it not go 💯 like we thought. The learning journey takes a GROW to a GLOW. #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A3: We need to be intentional in celebrating successes, shouting out the awesome things happening in our schools, and modeling the culture that we want. #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A4: First thing, fostering authentic relationships & trust. Then, empowering learners through various experiences such as #makered#PBL#passionprojects. The more we encourage learners to explore interests and cultivate new ones, their true potential shines! #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Self-reflection and transparency must be modeled to get any kind of risk-taking. Also, celebrating the little victories, even the willingness to take a risk, will help plant the seeds for a culture of innovation. #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A3) I notice that many of the young staff at my school are SO positive! The entire culture of the school is changing b/c of this. I wonder: Are there generational differences in outlook and attitude? #leadlap
Q4: Every single child has immense potential. How are you creating a legacy that will support students to awaken their true potential? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A3: We have to build capacity in others & release the reins a bit. As a tech integrator, it's important for me not only to lead innovative lessons, but support the Ts I work with to do the same - and CELEBRATE their successes (big & small)! #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A1 Love the idea that Innovation needs to start with educators. We need to encourage our teachers to dream big, take risks while modelling it as leaders. Professional growth is an integral part of the process. #LeadLAP
Sharing doubts demonstrates vulnerability which helps others to understand that every individual can feel tentative to try something different. It's often what encourages others to join hands and embark on the journey with you! #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A2 we lead the way and jump right in with them! I love sharing when I'm taking a risk, when I have doubts about something and then working together to improve, to rethink, try again. #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect#future4EDU#Quotes4EDU
A4: I hope my legacy is the time I spend on relationships. Students know I care & can come for support at any time (Ts as well). I think parents know this by what their children talk about. These relationships help kids reach their potential. #LeadLAP
Q4: Every single child has immense potential. How are you creating a legacy that will support students to awaken their true potential? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A4-This would be part 2 of A3--First, you have to notice + acknowledge the strength of others--but in the case of Ss-you have to MAKE THEM SEE their strengths because many often can't #Leadlap
Q4: Every single child has immense potential. How are you creating a legacy that will support students to awaken their true potential? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A4: I frequently say ‘whatever you want’ when Ss ask what they should read next, how they should show their learning and what they should learn about. In the media center I can teach research skills whether they are learning about fortnite or ww2. Give Ss options to own. #LeadLAP
A3 stay positive. Build them up and help them reach their full potential. Instead of telling them what they did wrong, tell them what they did right, and ask what they think they can do better next time. #LeadLAP
A2: I believe creating a culture of inquiry, personal and collective reflection is key . Know thyself, learn your purpose and use your talents to make the world better. ‘‘Tis will bring innovation #leadlap
A3 More than #talk take action to believe in staff: look at those who are value adding; who constantly challenge themselves: recognise them & work to provide opportunities #leadlap
#LeadLAP A4: Ah, the thought of a legacy makes my heart smile. ❤️ I hope that my legacy is being built with every student that leaves our school a successful, cautious reader and thinker. #FingersCrossed
Q4: Every single child has immense potential. How are you creating a legacy that will support students to awaken their true potential? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A2. I feel that checking in and providing a helping hand or word of encouragement is the best way to ensure that colleagues and Ss feel supported. Help others set goals and foster their self efficacy as risk takers by helping them realize where they are on their journey. #LEADLap
Q2: Every single one of us is a leader and a learner! How can we ensure that both our colleagues and students feel supported as responsible risk-takers in their learning journey? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A3: @WakelonES we have Mentors for Beginning Teachers up to three years, Instructional Support staff, student clubs, Watch D.O.G.S, boys’ & girls’ mentoring clubs, & MTSS. Affirmations and Good Things are part of our meetings and daily grind. #LeadLAP
A3: Create a supportive and collaborative culture by sharing your journey, amplifying the successes of others and creating opportunities for staff to collaborate #LeadLAP
That's how I became an AP. My former AP tapped me on the shoulder, gave me an application to do my masters & said "I think you should do this". #LeadLAP
A3. This is built on trust, being present and asking questions to truly seek to understand. Acknowledging all the growth one has demonstrated, not matter how small. Those small steps keep moving us forward when celebrated #leadlap
A3) Authenticity. We don’t just celebrate innovation. We celebrate all educational aspects of our school vision, brand, belief.
Celebration should be formal and informal. Planned and a Spur of the moment. It must be a part of everything we do.
#LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A1 Love the idea that Innovation needs to start with educators. We need to encourage our teachers to dream big, take risks while modelling it as leaders. Professional growth is an integral part of the process. #LeadLAP
A3: I think change is hard! If you've been teaching for a while and finally feel comfortable with your status quo, it's challenging to shift mindsets. How wonderful to have staff members filled with positivity! This is GREAT for a culture shift in the right direction! #LeadLAP
A3: Constant support for thought, dreams, failures, success, communication. Intentionally provide your Ss or Ts with reflection time- be sure to pose the Qs they need to think about. Foster the idea that everything is worth investigating- Culture of Curiosity= WIN! #LeadLAP
A4: We have to build relationships & meet Ss and Ts where they are, help them discover and cultivate their strengths and passions, and find ways to connect those to the learning happening in our schools. When we tap into these skills and passions, we change lives. #LeadLAP
A1 because we live in a rapidly changing world. We can’t afford to do the hinge the way they always been done. There’s no quicker way to kill culture than remaining stagnant. #LeadLAP
A3 Every time I see my team and colleagues, and students, I greet them and check on them. It is so important to build relationships and they will know that you are there for them and they can count on you #leadlap
Celebrating big and small successes goes a long way! When people feel appreciated they often strive to do more. Building capacity helps to ensure that shifts are sustainable. #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A3: We have to build capacity in others & release the reins a bit. As a tech integrator, it's important for me not only to lead innovative lessons, but support the Ts I work with to do the same - and CELEBRATE their successes (big & small)! #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A4. Hope and Wade King share on page 44 of #TheWildCard "research shows literacy is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty." Books in the Hands of Children was always my legacy. #LeadLAP
A3) LOVE #leadlap’s amazing practice of noticing the impact-regardless of our roles we should be telling our colleagues (& admin!) how awesome they are every time we notice something they’re trying-you have to go out of your way but the benefit is beyond worth it.
A4: In our school, we created a #NEST (Nurturing Everyone’s Strengths & Talents) period to help our students find & pursue areas of interest! We also have #CommUNITY outreach projects through #FalconsCARE that connect students & staff with common interests. #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Q4: Every single child has immense potential. How are you creating a legacy that will support students to awaken their true potential? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Q5: Together, we can join hands and create the #LEAPeffect in our schools. In the upcoming week, how will you take bold steps to take the L.E.A.P. and create a culture that inspires innovation? #LeadLAP
Ahhh, Trish! So true! Trust is HUGE in the coaching process. In order to learn, grow, and change, we have to embrace a level of vulnerability. Trust is essential in this coaching model! #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A4: I focus on helping school leaders be the best version of themselves.
"We help school leaders fight isolation and frustration via a leadership community in order to gain clarity and find solutions to their greatest challenges." #LeadLAP#blbs#mastermind
A1. The first and most important step in creating innovators and cultivating a culture of innovation is to create a community; a place where all members of the group feel safe from ridicule or judgment. #LeadLAP
A4 (the real A4): Here's an answer I gave to a question earlier that also applies here. My two thoughts/two cents worth: (and my FIRST @Buncee !) #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A3: Coaching is HARD. If we look at the best coaches *Big Dabo Fan* they focus on the people not the objective. When people being the best humans possible is the goal we move from objectives with end points to infinite possibilities. #LeadLAP
A3 Embedding peer coaching into the overall instructional program is critical. Celebration and recognition is an integral part of the process, no matter how small the gain we need to celebrate! #LeadLAP
When others believe in you, seeing something in you that you don’t yet see, it’s definitely motivational & powerful! This is why it’s so important to point out others’ strengths! #LeadLAP
A3 Really have to let go of the self. It's all about them. Share what others are doing. Highlight the awesome in staff meetings, newsletters, organizations ... #WeAreCUE#leadlap
A2 I believe leading by example and being a risk taker. Being there to encourage them and help them know it’s ok to make mistakes m. Learn from them and try again! Innovation is all about learning and growth! 🦋#LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Q4: As I enter the twighlight of my classroom career, I am blessed with supportive leadership, with a growth mindset, who have let me develop our MS STEM course that will outlast my career. https://t.co/EqmEOjzreP#leadlap
A4: We created a Wall of Dreams in the front office. We saw great progress with our most at risk kids! I blogged about it. #LeadLAPhttps://t.co/TnUqSPF9iZ
A4: Ss need to know we see them, know them, value them and support them - especially the ones who make it hard to do. We have to search for the way in, celebrate success and push from their point of strength instead of weakness. #LeadLAP
A4. Spending time with them every chance I get especially in Non-structured parts of the day. Having conversations and planting these seeds of support during these times #leadlap
A4: Letting my kids (and really “our” kids in the building) know how incredibly important they are every single day (morning greetings with any kid who comes to my door, 1:1 chats, actively listening to their stories) #LeadLAP
A4: We are working with parents to support without intervening in student work. We provide questions for parents to ask instead of directions on an assignment. This is a constant challenge. #LeadLAP
A5: I am going to get out and into classrooms and make sure Ts see that I appreciate the risks they are taking to be innovators. Whether inviting peers into their classrooms or trying something new with their kids. Its happening everyday and I need to recognize it more! #LeadLAP
A4: We created a Wall of Dreams in the front office. We saw great progress with our most at risk kids! I blogged about it. #LeadLAPhttps://t.co/TnUqSPF9iZ
A4. We are empowering students to tell our story by:
1. Leading Eagle Camp (for incoming 6 grade kids)
2. Share at parent meetings
3. Lead school tours
4. Lead live daily broadcast announcements
Our school is for students to make it their story
#LeadLAP
I think it all boils down to the level of appreciation our veteran teachers feel. Being ‘in between’ - not beginning but not yet veteran - I think it relies a lot on the appreciation we give. Anchors of Appreciation for the win! #LeadLAP
A4: Show students you truly are interested in their likes & plans. A beginning of the year student inventory is crucial. Consistently revisit! #LeadLAP
Change can be hard, it's uncomfortable. When we spark positivity and are genuine with how we support and encourage others, it's more likely to be welcomed. And, people need to grasp the why and be a part of the shared vision. True ownership is essential! #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A4: I am always looking for opportunities to provide students a chance to have a voice and participate in meaningful ways. My students know I believe every one of them can be (and needs to be)a leader #LeadLAP
Thank you SO much for joining us here at #LeadLAP this morning! It was great to connect with everyone. Keep on sharing any ideas you have this week or bold steps you take using #LEAPeffect!
Interested in learning more?
Check out the book! https://t.co/B8O4uN5AQ1
A5: Celebrating other people will make them feel valued. We all have a lot to contribute to the is ever-changing profession. We MUST tackle the challenges together as a team. Let's inspire others to create the #LEAPeffect by putting accomplishments on a pedestal. #Leadlap
Q5: Together, we can join hands and create the #LEAPeffect in our schools. In the upcoming week, how will you take bold steps to take the L.E.A.P. and create a culture that inspires innovation? #LeadLAP
A5: Heading to an awesome conference this week and plan to encourage Ss and Ts to get out and take risks, while leading by example when I return. #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A4 I hope what I am creating is an environment where it’s clear to my Ss they are the teachers and leaders in the room (and beyond!) creating an experience I hope will be unforgettable as they design their opportunities to contribute to the world. #leadlap
Me too. In fact at the moment my veteran Ts seem to be my biggest risk takers. I think they've been in our school long enough to trust the process, whereas the newer teachers are still checking out the culture to see if they truly feel safe.

A4: Students know my #passionforkindness spills into everything I do. I share my passion unapologetically, showing students that they can embrace their passions, too, and weave them into their learning to become amazing contributors to this world! #leadLAP#LEAPeffect
Q4: Every single child has immense potential. How are you creating a legacy that will support students to awaken their true potential? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
In a culture of innovation, learning is used to challenge existing decisions about how the school is run, and to persistently push the school to find better ways of meeting the needs of students. #LeadLAP
A5 share: 4 yrs ago was finalist for Iditarod Teacher on Trail. Not selected. This year, applied again, again selected finalist. Now creating new approaches and vision as I try again. Share vulnerability, perseverance, innovation. #LeadLAP
A3: Relationships built on authenticity and grounded in deep levels of trust have the power to move mountains. Invest your time wisely in PEOPLE, not programs. The shifts will come... if you bring people with you first. #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Q5: Together, we can join hands and create the #LEAPeffect in our schools. In the upcoming week, how will you take bold steps to take the L.E.A.P. and create a culture that inspires innovation? #LeadLAP
A special thanks to @ElisaBostwick for leading this morning's #LeadLAP chat! It was a joy to connect with you all and chat about innovation! #LEAPeffect
A5. “Go slow to go fast”. So I want to get feedback from students, staff and parents about what is working, what needs to change. It will be authentic feedback that drives real change. #LeadLAP
A4. Every student is an individual, and my legacy is in building a climate where each child is seen by Ts, parents, and each other as a unique treasure. They ALL have greatness within them! #leadlap
A1. In a culture of innovation, learning is used to challenge existing decisions about how the school is run, and to persistently push the school to find better ways of meeting the needs of students. #LeadLAP
A4) Relationships, Relationships, Relationships. When we take the time to learn students hopes, dreams, and stories...we open our eyes to their STRENGTHS.
Then....Engagement, Empowerment, Experiential...and EPIC

Thank you @ElisaBostwick and #LeadLAP crew! Glad I was able to jump in even if a little late. Love starting my Saturdays with you all! Have a great weekend!
I think it varies from school to school. I’ve worked with many schools, and certainly have seen interesting combos of staff (new and seasoned) & their attitudes toward innovation.
#Leadlap
A4 Transference is a huge driving force. Ss can tweak learning to other classes and personal interests. Self-discovery = huge win. #leadlap#StudentVoice#LEAPeffect
A3: Shifts happen when people have a common goal and a clear understanding of how to get there. Once this happens the culture begins to change with a renewed excitement. Leaders begin to surface and people begin to support one another. #leadlap
YES! In ch. 3 of Take the L.E.A.P. Ignite a Culture of Innovation, I share on this topic right here! It's so critical that we are empowering every child, fostering relationships, helping them to reveal their true potential. Recognizing strengths is powerful! #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A4: Ss need to know we see them, know them, value them and support them - especially the ones who make it hard to do. We have to search for the way in, celebrate success and push from their point of strength instead of weakness. #LeadLAP
#LeadLAP A4. I host a weekly group called #WeChooseWednesday where Ss can choose to stay in from recess drama and be part of creative and fun projects of their choice. We have a blast every week and are full of positivity and empowerment!
A3) Authenticity. We don’t just celebrate innovation. We celebrate all educational aspects of our school vision, brand, belief.
Celebration should be formal and informal. Planned and a Spur of the moment. It must be a part of everything we do.

A3. @RandallSampson’s championship belt... an infamous way of celebrating the growth made by colleagues and scholars! Pass it on when someone has made a leap for the better! #LEADLap#LEAPeffect
A4 This is a great question. We need to view our work through the lens of what can each child do rather than the mindset of what they cannot do. Its our job to create experiences and environments that support this focus. #LearnerCentered#inclusion#LeadLAP
Q4: Every single child has immense potential. How are you creating a legacy that will support students to awaken their true potential? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A5 We've been making so many changes lately
, that I think my job now is too support what's happening & give Ts & Ss space to deepen their learning.
#leadlap
What a fantastic #LeadLAP this morning! Participated in my phone so now going to look back & see the awesome I missed! Thank you @ElisaBostwick - you never disappoint!
LeadLAP inspired me beyond belief; the 1st @dbc_inc book I preordered. https://t.co/btorN4BTno#LEAPeffect
And how much appreciation the "newbies" feel! I attended a workshop where I thanked the new teachers b/c they have such great ideas and we need their enthusiasm, new outlooks. They thanked me for thanking them, said they feel ignored/underappreciated in their schools. #leadLAP
A1: Fostering a culture of innovation is a non negotiable because technology, like our schools, is always changing. Always being able to adapt and learn new things not only helps teachers improve, but students as well. #LeadLAP
As @ToddWhitaker writes in his endorsement, "this will be a gem in your collection...and one you will refer back to often." Check out Take the L.E.A.P. and start planting seeds of innovation so our students reap the harvest. #LEAPeffect#LeadLAP#satchat#leadupchat#tlap#edtech
A learning community where Sts take ownership for their decisions and performance and support each other to succeed in an interconnected world. Actions have consequences and it is important to model best practices and behaviors so Sts realize what their full potential is #leadlap
A3: Shifts happen when people have a common goal and a clear understanding of how to get there. Once this happens the culture begins to change with a renewed excitement. Leaders begin to surface and people begin to support one another. #leadlap
Yes! They’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly! I can imagine that it would feel like being traded in for a newer model. No one likes that feeling. #LeadLAP

Great Chat #LeadLAP. I am jumping in late and now off to kids hockey. Have a great week and thanks @ElisaBostwick for facilitating. Love the topic and pushing the boundaries of learning. Be Great!
A5) Video production, Podcasting, Blogging, Social Media, Classroom Visits to celebrate fellow innovators.
I’m also taking the recommendation of @Rdene915 to jump in on @gosynth to promote some upcoming conference presentations.
#LEADLap#LEAPeffect
@LaurenAngelone Hi, I participated in the #LeadLAP hashtag. It was productive reading all the replies from teachers and learning from them and the experience and insight they have. It was neat seeing all kinds of people answering some of the questions initially posted.
I feel that as long as our veteran teachers remain open to innovation and still inspired by learning, they are the fine wine of schools...getting better with age! #LEAPeffect#LeadLAP
Q5: Together, we can join hands and create the #LEAPeffect in our schools. In the upcoming week, how will you take bold steps to take the L.E.A.P. and create a culture that inspires innovation? #LeadLAP
Q5: Together, we can join hands and create the #LEAPeffect in our schools. In the upcoming week, how will you take bold steps to take the L.E.A.P. and create a culture that inspires innovation? #LeadLAP
Yes! We need to take into consideration that our Sts interact a lot via devices and we have to support them with social interactions in the classroom. #leadlap
A4: Being a passionate advocate for support of the whole child. It is no longer enough to be academically prepared. Our Ss must leave school ready for a workforce that is like no other we have ever seen. Incorporating the 4C's and ISTE Standards are a must in schools. #leadlap
Q4: Every single child has immense potential. How are you creating a legacy that will support students to awaken their true potential? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
A4: As a school leader, I want school to be one of the best parts of every Ss' & staff members' day. Supporting Ss & staff in seeing their strengths & unique gifts is essential in awakening their true potential as is helping them grow in areas that aren't as strong. #leadlap
A4 I created a food pantry at my school and I explained to them how I did it! I’m showing by example that if you believe in a vision, you can try and create it! 🦋 #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Good morning! I am so honored to be in Irvine, CA with the @ACSAXVII administrators today. If you would like a link to the #LeadLAP presentation, here you go... https://t.co/vYYYUcLVZx
True - attitude spreads, whether it's neg or positive. In our weekly PD we try to mix-up the learning groups so that everyone gets to rub elbows with our strongest risk-takers and get "infected" with their enthusiasm.

How funny! Just goes to show that everyone needs a little extra affirmation! Makes me think of my daughters - each one thinks I favor the other one more, haha! Education is a tough career choice! Affirm, encourage, and support! Thank you for sharing! #LeadLAP
Happy to see you with Take the L.E.A.P.: Ignite a Culture of Innovation, Sean! Thanks again for endorsing it and sharing the message! Appreciate you, my friend! #LEAPeffect#LeadLAP

Trying to coach someone who is unwilling to learn and grow is like climbing a mountain with flip-flops. You can't tackle the challenge in a traditional way. I like having a blend of open-door "you come to me" opportunities but also taking time to touch base w/others. #leadLAP
Love this quick and easy check-in for teachers and staff. Would be great for Google Forms so you can track responses from week to week! #leadLAP#tlap#LetterLessons

A4: Every child needs to know how important they are. That means that teachers and administrators need to work hard to build a relationship with as many students as possible. The more we build the relationship the more they will give us. #LeadLAP
Q4: Every single child has immense potential. How are you creating a legacy that will support students to awaken their true potential? #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Agreed...AND we shouldn't ignore these folks. As we keep providing avenues for growth, you never know when the resisters will take the #LEAPeffect#growthmindset#coaching#leadLAP
A5: I can intentionally look for innovative things to celebrate. *I also need to read “Take the L.E.A.P” & “Innovator’s Mindset” in the future. #LeadLAP
This is a great first step! It’s truly an incredibly inspiring, challenging, and heartwarming book! So many great stories that tie to life and education! #leadLAP#LEAPeffect#TLAP
Agreed. Some things can’t happen because of monetary or technological constraints. A hard “no” is a slammed door. A “what if” keeps the door open while also searching for a window. #leadlap#LEAPeffect
I love the fact that you said you can tackle the problem in a traditional way. We must try different ways to help different students. The one size fits all approach doesn’t work. #LeadLAP
Seriously.....top of list in office referrals. What if we taught digital literacy responsibility: self regulation, self awareness, social awareness with our cell phones? Skill sets often overlooked and never taught! #SEL#LeadLAP@nbartley6 loving the book!
So true, Todd. What works great for one teacher/student may be a complete fail for another. We have to be flexible in our coaching approaches. #leadLAP#LEAPeffect
Q4: This is the moment to pull out the old adage “Guide on the Side.” My love and lust for learning allows me to facilitate by shining a light on their ideas rather than dusting off mine. #LeadLAP#LEAPeffect
Thank you, Lisa! I’m thrilled it’s making an impact and I LOVE that quote from @JoyKirr for many reasons! Trying to inspire 7th graders with a PBL unit on digital citizenship AND digital leadership- can’t wait to see what they end up teaching each other! #leadlap#socialleadia
Exactly!! We talked about this very concept in our Innovative Kindness lesson a few weeks back: https://t.co/gqk3JIs9Dt To quote Steve Jobs: “The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.” #leadLAP#LEAPeffect#passionforkindness
Yes, Niki, you are spot on with that perspective! Being cognizant of prior experiences and that massive monster of fear (False Evidence Appearing Real) helps to see change from their point of view, creating empathy in our coaching strategies. #leadLAP#LEAPeffect
