Instead of "How can I help you?" we need to say "How can I support you?"
A2 ask questions, lead reflective conversations, keep the focus on S success (academic/emotional) and ask for evidence
Good idea. We use for our LMS & have started w a group there already.
A2: leaders need to use specific feedback,on lessons,expected behaviors,interaction w/Ss in order to personalize the message

A2: a coach can see something in others that they themselves can't see. They make others see their position differently.
Without trust, you've got nothing! Hire the best people, and get out of the way. Remove obstacles for them.

Letting others know they are valued and that as a team all members have key roles for the team to be successful.
A2: Holding themselves accountable to high standards as well and continuing to work on areas of strength and weakness
A2: I wrote down the questions you asked......which push their thinking while others are......
A:2 great leaders ask questions that make you examine, not feel defensive... Provide options without making you feel pressured
A2: Begins by asking Qs. Listen to understand rather than to form a response. Understanding that leads to collaborative next steps
A2 Ask questions that encourage new thinking.

A2: Leaders "coach up" by walking the talk of what is expected in classrooms through example.
A2: Allow others to take risks, ask questions, and reflect. Think about what is best for kids?
A2b and my mantra "be so good you can't be ignored" - it opens the door to believing in your expertise when you prove yourself
- that's what I thought you meant. I agree. Gotta set aside those triggers to be a good coach. https://t.co/FhVswETMxT

Great leaders instill in others the courage to step out of their comfort zone and be vulnerable. https://t.co/ZgyxQ0ry3W
A2: Leaders can challenge others to be leaders: lead a discussion, try a new program out and report the results. Anything else?
A2: Challenge the idea that punishments should exclude. Jim Tressel believed "you'll get sick of seeing me" 2 get out of dog house

Which is why you're so good! to learn from the BEST!
A2 leaders can challenge others by modeling stepping outside the box & giving them the tools to try this. Doingsomething different
Empowering is huge! and reminded me of this!

Which means we are all on a journey and can always improve. And, the coach is also a learner.
Sometimes it is hard for leaders to get out of their comfort zone. We have to let people know who we are! https://t.co/g50sYmoKFg
Great leaders instill in others the courage to step out of their comfort zone and be vulnerable. https://t.co/ZgyxQ0ry3W

I'm off to read to my son. We're reading MasterMinds by Gordon Korman. , I might be back, If not See "yinz" soon!
A2: provide others opportunity to grow. Let them lead learning & help others grow
You can take its hubcaps, though!
Had an AP encourage Ts to set 'eye popping' goals. In other words, "what's your moon shot for this coming school year?"
delivery matters. People like to be inspired not told to do something new. They want to create/improve not copy.
A2: Leaders "coach up" by sharing leadership throughout the building. More we and less me.
Becoming proficient with Google has helped me enormously. I have become much more efficient.
Hi ! LaVonna from Tampa- jumping in for a few minutes! is leading the pack!

https://t.co/29FZ7iu4vQ
A2: Leaders "coach up" by sharing leadership throughout the building. More we and less me.
Great coaches approach work with a "let's go win" attitude instead of a "let's try not to lose".
A2: I'm big on encouraging others to take risk. We grow through what we go through, so step out and get messy!
We are not "techy" we are relevant. We worked for it. It is not a talent.
A2: Setting high goals is great! Setting high goals you have no intent to support w/ adequate resources is frustrating.

A2: identify strengths and challenge them to improve the strength; teach others those strengths
Absolutely! The "WHY" is the driving force.
Thanks. Will do. Thanks for sharing my story & journey.
Great coaches are encouraging b/c they have courage. You can't be an encourager if you don't exercise courage yourself.
I always ask my teacher what have you always dreamed of for your classroom, they tell me & I say, "Let's do it!"
A1 a great coach is a risk taker, realizes that failing is a part of winning, wont ask others to do what they will not do
Amen to this...and MODEL risk-taking, failing, reevaluating and trying again!! https://t.co/4ZPejfJ7O1
A2: I'm big on encouraging others to take risk. We grow through what we go through, so step out and get messy!
A2: Welcome sharing of different opinions and encourage constructive criticism of all ideas. That is how we all improve.
I like the question "What magic do you want to make happen in your classroom/school this year? How can I support you?
Suggestions on making this happen?

🔥🔥🔥🔥
A2 Specific, meaningful feedback! No one ever improves when a coach says, "You have to do better" https://t.co/K9AthBD9ZS
Absolutely! Leaders must be learners. The roles are not isolated!
Hi LaVonna. Great to see you again.
A2. Gr8 leaders challenge by setting high/achievable goals, supporting team as they work on them, celebrating & helping thru-out

Great coaches don't accept mediocrity. "Just getting by, ain't getting it done!"
Awesome when you work in an environment where new ideas are both supported and encouraged https://t.co/VxA5GwQG33

Very powerful to look at the main objective. The purpose. https://t.co/c0cmeZ89Ck
A2: continue to ask "What is your why?" "Why do you do what you do?"
The why has to one before the how, if you ask what they dream of, it usually leads to the why.
https://t.co/MAVNvsNi6R
Q3: Leaders Coach Along! How can leaders best guide others through a project, activity, or initiative?
A3: I think one of the best ways is to provide frequent feedback and praise. Let the "team" know their is VALUE in the work.
great leaders make the people around them better ...
There is no growth without change. If we don't change, we become obsolete & irrelevant. BlockbusterVideo is an example.
Important for coaches not to sugarcoat at the same time. If it didn't work, tell me. Help me grow.
A2 Use your school's vision to challenge others to rise to what is good for kids.
I've often wondered if all inst leaders should be deeply trained in art of coaching individuals and teams. Any models out there?
Great coaches set the bar high with expectations. But they don't stop there. They provide the right support to help you meet goals
should be the root of everything we do, love it! https://t.co/PPBooxfGuP
We are not "techy" we are relevant. We worked for it. It is not a talent.
Great perspective! Always glass half full.
A3: Sometimes the best "guiding" is to allow for autonomy.
Take a calculated risk, together.
Advice, encouragement, new perspectives, feedback. Help everyone reflect & adjust as needed

Q3: Leaders Coach Along! How can leaders best guide others through a project, initiative, or activity?
...found it helpful to have them model a strategy or identify them as a resource person for others
Great analogy. And it does require effort to change.
It's definitely how we grow. Growth begins when we get out of our comfort zone.
I'm so excited to meet some of you & learn w/you at ! Who from will be there???
A3: Don't be a stranger. Sit in on a class or two and get a feel for the goals. Offer feedback and check in.
A3: model the behavior and open your classroom to encourage others to come watch! Come watch others and share thoughts!
I have been thinking along the same lines. Wondering the same as well.
A3-Encourage the ideas that seem crazy-ask questions-don't settle for the easy way out
A2)Ensure decisions are aligned to organizational values. Keep ship student-centered. Push ppl out of comfort zone & toward growth
Now this would spark some thinking! https://t.co/8PvhYvYjPn
I like the question "What magic do you want to make happen in your classroom/school this year? How can I support you?
Great point. Leaders should give clear, concise, quality feedback, to allow learners to make adjustments & grow.

A3: Don't smother the process. Let them go ... Trust in their decision-making.

A3: Setting a strategic plan with short/long term goals. Providing check-ins for guidance.
Absolutely! Our comfort zone is a place where mediocre things happen. https://t.co/arji0rGYGN
It's definitely how we grow. Growth begins when we get out of our comfort zone.
Everyone is different. Can't coach everyone the same way. The best in the business know which buttons to push and when.
Coaching isn't about meeting district goals ... it is about individual teacher goals and redefining possible in the classroom
if we create a part of us will always live in future creations and improvements. It's our legacy!
Roll up your sleeves and lead by example....
Great to have in the house tonight! She'll be keynoting at on Monday! https://t.co/PLSI6NDqZc

A3 Be supportive. Set a timeline & check on my/our progress. Give money $$$
A2 See strengths in people and encourage them to aim high with support. It's ok to not be perfect. https://t.co/uSuwOfpkim
A fave. A chance to share gifts and see who to turn to for areas we need assistance. TY!
hi Ryan! Hope you're doing well!
Feedback is best when it's specific, differentiated, and personalized. I'm working at this.

Q3: Leaders Coach Along! How can leaders best guide others through a project, initiative, or activity?

A3 Begin with the end in mind. Help Ts to create their plan for success. Then help them stay accountable.
A3 Be a connector. We're all good at connecting. No time to support? Find & connect w/someone that can.
THIS is the question that I want to remember as an aspiring admin! https://t.co/ESPFZRWgUZ
I like the question "What magic do you want to make happen in your classroom/school this year? How can I support you?
A3: Provide support and encouragement. Be the biggest cheerleader in the building.
A3: "Let's try this together." And not afraid to say "Well, that didn't work."

https://t.co/jL2JA4gGmg
Q3: Leaders Coach Along! How can leaders best guide others through a project, initiative, or activity?

A3: Don't tell them to think outside the box. Tell them to get rid of the box.
A3 Asking what are you working on and how can I help? as said at

A3. Coaches should use movement & proximity 2 go where teams R working--to listen, check in, help, support https://t.co/mUK9AI7cpi
Q3: Leaders Coach Along! How can leaders best guide others through a project, initiative, or activity?
A3: ensure coachees know they have a partner who will never be judgmental and will support them for as long as it takes.
A3) ask to come observe me in action. Don't always wait for the invitation.
Definitely will when possible!
A3 lots of encouragement along with honest feedback.
A2: should model the behavior they want to see in others. If you struggle w/ something be honest: lets ss know no one is perfect
Many tweets about coaching individually. Great point as every person has different experience, personality, strengths etc
Honestly- one of best ?s I've heard! I'd love to reflect on that, make it happen w support of coach in my class
Agreed - reflective Qs seem to lead people to deeper understanding than even descriptive feedback. https://t.co/L4Go0nFxUr
Great point. I was a coach prior to becoming an administrator. I go back to those books often. Follow
Ex. As setter instead of setting my feet (females) I did better jumping (males) so I was coached differently.
A3: 💜 starting leading new initiative by listing what's already on the plate.
a3: through past experience. What worked and what didn't. A good leader lets s's learn for themselves but not stray too far
super important to receive feedback and must set-up ways routinely to do so!
Keri - love that you have timelines in here - accountability is key!
I will be there! Can't wait to meet everyone in person! https://t.co/BmE00PoVnE

Just followed https://t.co/Xolv9zZl0B

A4 how can we do "it" better for our S and school?
What plan, idea, or scheme can defeat this, and how do I keep this from happening?
Wait, Zach - do you go to LifePoint, too? Did I know that?
A4: If I was sitting in my class, would I feel supported to bring my best?
A3 Communication is key to supporting educators through projects-don't just speak supportively, show it & share it!
Must learn from experiences and use those to guide others as well as your decisions to foster continued growth
A4: What aspect of this made you feel the most fulfilled? How do you expand on that?
It really does get people to think a bit differently. Also conveys I believe you're capable of making magic happen
A4-In my years as a coach I asked Ts & Ss 2 questions that we very powerful-What are you thinking? and What do you notice?
Freedom to fail is part of a healthy school culture.
A4:How can we improve? What could we have done to get better? What can we do differently next time? Did I give everything I could?
Dr. G & Gotta bail! Thank you for creating a space for people to connect, share, & learn from each other. PEACE.
A4 Did this positively impact the students? Was it what is best for students?
A4) what just happened here? What were you doing? What was Student X doing? (W/positive, sincere tone)
That keeps me motivated - would I be motivated by me? Ouch!
A4: "How might we use this to help students achieve what they've believed / been told was impossible?"
A4: "what would you do differently next time?"
Big to know what motivates ea individual! All different :)
my wife was an All-American setter so I can actually relate to that example.
A4 "Yes, and....?" motivates me to look deeper and for more.
Thank you so much, Ryan!! We love doing that program!! https://t.co/iKXAPZStBb
if you ever get the chance at a conference to see and do Lead Like A PIRATE, don't miss it.
Appreciate you being here, brother!
They seem pretty slow to adapt to anything.
A4: How do you think that worked? How can we improve it for next time?
This is why schools need to narrow their focus to the real work! What is most important?
A4: Is what you're doing working? If so, who's it working for? Hope you can say kids!
A2. In addition to ur answer, follow through in having others implement the "walk the talk" https://t.co/fOZ04XbjnX
A2: Leaders "coach up" by walking the talk of what is expected in classrooms through example.
A3 Immerse yourself in their activity/ objective and guide them there. Don't be afraid to join them! https://t.co/CQkK27ew1p
Q3: Leaders Coach Along! How can leaders best guide others through a project, initiative, or activity?
A4: would Ss come to your class if they weren't required? Makes me feel like I need to give my all everyday to ensure a yes!
A4: What's are the ways in which we can grow even more?
A4 How does what you are doing in the classrom align with what you believe about learning and teaching?
A4: "What can I do better next time?"
Wow! You know it's going big when Tim drops in! Thanks for being here!
A3 I lead a District online book study for Ts PD. Some leaders signed up 2 learn too. Its a positive to learn w the folks you lead.
Ryan, this is on my bucket list! :)
It does take a lot of time, but it's worth it when you see growth and increased student engagement.
A4 Which Ss did not have their needs met with this lesson? How can I catch them next time?
The word MAGIC just makes your want to smile, dream, and create meaningful experience for kids! All in the words!
I don't think so. Austin can't handle me twice in 5 months.
A4 how could that lesson have been better? What did you learn from this? How can we take to next level? https://t.co/ZqIIRHzfu7
A4: i love when people say, I don't think it's possible? That's my cue 2 ask Why Not? Then ok, what if? Then, is it possible? YES
A3: model and stay involved. Having Ts ask Ss questions and throw an idea in helps so much while still encouraging independence
A4: How could we use tech to enhance this?
A4 I like asking, what's the worst thing that can happen?
Exactly, yet we often lead/coach as we prefer & what motivates us. Same as how we often teach.
A4: What do you think? Why do you think that way?
A4 How are students demonstrating that they are active learners?
A4: What type of accountability will you need to implement a new teaching strategy successfully?
A4: "what do you think worked and didn't work in this lesson?"
Great questions. https://t.co/gwJd3Vwkhi
A4: i love when people say, I don't think it's possible? That's my cue 2 ask Why Not? Then ok, what if? Then, is it possible? YES
A4 "@ the end of (insert xx) what issues came up that u didn't expect& how can u plan more effectively?" https://t.co/SKZU7n5zgR
A4. What actions are you taking today to reach your future goals?
Absolutely! Anything that doesn't contribute to THE goal could be a time-sucker and funds-sucker!
Yes! Can't wait to say hi!
You are SO right!! I am very deliberate about my word choice. It really does make a difference.
A4) Any question/criticism that causes and allows me to reflect. Reflection allows space& opportunity for refinement.
A4. What would you differently next time? What went well? Both questions motivate me
A4b what's best for the kids? (Gets me thinking harder every time)
A4: How can it be improved? Were all students challenged? What aspects would you repeat/change?
A2) Great coaches focus on the execution of his/her team not the talents of the opponent. John Wooden never scouted his opponents.
Shelley & Beth R bringing Lead like a Pirate flavor 2 in Austin in Oct! Can't w8! https://t.co/FoktCgE4ae
if you ever get the chance at a conference to see and do Lead Like A PIRATE, don't miss it.
A4 why did this go the way it did & what do I need to do different next time?
I use Voxer to leave immediate feedback after a walkthrough.
A4: would my own kids be proud of what I just did?
A4: How will the "effort" have an "impact" on Ss learning? How do you know Ss learned today? What is your evidence? Why?
A3 So helpful to check in throughout the process. Not just in the beginning & end. Get temperate checks. https://t.co/rJ7gcrUAqe
Q3: Leaders Coach Along! How can leaders best guide others through a project, initiative, or activity?
A4: Many times it is simply "why"...and then "why". Pushes my thinking to justify or change course. https://t.co/9EL9qpQOQK
A4: "How could you do it more like a pirate?" 😊
Most important- time for you.
Zach - will you DM your email address?
A4: why not "that kid"? I find ways to make every kid have a shot
A4 How could the process be more student driven? What would you like to change to make it reach all?
A4 What have you learned? What have your students learned?
A4: "What can you do different next time?" Makes me reflect and focus on moving forward.
True- When we're in the service of others instead of our own agendas- we show relationship is genuine
A4: What did I do to help improve our school this week? Or, did students benefit from my decisions?
***Q5 is coming up in one minute!
A3 Good coaches listen closely to sense conditions for success. Great coaches help us to discover conditions for our own success.
A3 ask What do you want them to learn? Find a focus not a to-do.
my thoughts exactly, turn it around on me.
Please do! Thank you. Safe flight!
A4: How does this task help move students forward in their learning?
A4 I used a survey to get feedback from Ts about my performance this year. It was a great reflection tool. https://t.co/RzmpoeD7kw
A4: Does what I'm doing help students reach their goals while hitting learning targets I've been entrusted to teach?
A4: Taking aspects of a situation and altering key components. How would this look like to xyz? Who's missing in the conversation?
A4: I love the Q "When you think about your lesson/class/school what rattles around in your brain and keeps you up at night?"
A4 What is the evidence that students are learning?
A4:A reflective question-How can I create an outcome that will meet my expectations?Is this best for kids? https://t.co/EJcnTBxwTw
