#HisdAdminChat A4 ❤️ this question, when you rely only on your title you get compliance, when you rely on your service you get buy-in!

People who rely on their 'title' will never have an engaged staff.Impossible to have profound student learning w/ compliance #HISDAdminChat

HillMrispo Sep 17 @ 7:35 PM EDT

#HisdAdminChat A3 as a teacher I show my trust to my admin by being vulnerable and talking about my failures in the classroom.
