Here's my question? Anyone tackle the topic of staff dress code recently?
Starting off with a hot button issue! Way to bring it as always, buddy https://t.co/uKEiAYPzDI
Here's my question? Anyone tackle the topic of staff dress code recently?
That's my thinking! Do you just make that statement, recommend it, or engage staff?
Eds can't complain about not being treated professionally if they don't dress the part!
- don't know where I saw it, but saw someone do a funny PP on the topic to lighten the mood and get pt across
A1. Staff dress: We discussed this at our Back to School Staff meeting under "non-negotiable".

Going to throw out my first Q for the day. How are you re-imagining learning for your teachers as they are coming back?
. My question...How do you celebrate students on the first day of school?
Good morning! Ready to start the school year?
Completely agree with this statement Sandy! https://t.co/QEoPaCUV6H
Eds can't complain about not being treated professionally if they don't dress the part!
Staff dress code should be a model for the students. And the admin should model expectations, too. https://t.co/qnLyYOotgn
Here's my question? Anyone tackle the topic of staff dress code recently?
What will you be doing this Sch. year to help teachers stretch their practice?
Morning Aaron! Preparing for another exciting year. How are things in your part of the country?

Absolutely! and back at you KK
hi Aaron! Just flew back from Austin and TX. Love your state!! Great to see you!
Good morning! Love your graphics!
Must provide them opportunities to lead, and a real voice which is valued.
It's hard to tell a student to change out of their flip flops when the teacher bringing them down is wearing them!
Q: what are resources and lessons learned surrounding the teaching and implementation on Depth of Knowledge?
Q: How are you helping your staff to achieve "balance" between school obligations/work and their own time at home?
Good topic! What about uniforms for teachers? Polls & khakis? Thoughts? https://t.co/S6Lyn9q9Ee
Here's my question? Anyone tackle the topic of staff dress code recently?
Chris from California joining
Great Q here, excited to lurk on responses. Fitness, eating habits, balance are all incredibly important.
Really going to look at opportunities for them to take. Get them to take steps
we do this about every 3 months. It's been a long stretch since our last. Always great self directed learning!
Super Great! We could use some water...as usual. But tomorrow is BEACH DAY baby!!!!

could I get in on that play date. Would be fun to actually meet you guys.
Good to see you this morning Dr. J!
our dress code is pretty straightforward. Professional attire, Friday spirit day. Reviewed 1st day every year.
A1 focusing on building their knowledge base of what is out there as far as social media-use this tool https://t.co/TE6Gvne1l6
Going to throw out my first Q for the day. How are you re-imagining learning for your teachers as they are coming back?
Unfortunately, not enough! Seems to be a growing issue that is still a taboo topic w little resources https://t.co/zDnqos8Vz6
Q: what are your schools enhancing this year to battle the stigma of and address mental health issues for Ss Ts and P's?
Indeed! What are the things you do to give them a voice?
Dressing professional is just an aspect of being a professional. It's a mindset. Starts with leadership and high expectations.
I was just discussing that PE doesn't seem as exciting as it was when I was in high school. https://t.co/SwYUlveKWO
Q: Really want to revamp my school's PE curriculum. Curious if my Tribe is doing anything cutting-edge? 🚴🏼⛹🏿🏋🏾🏃🏽💨
Ahhh - you should connect w here in KY. PE extraordinaire for KDE
. Important to learn together, admin. & Ts. Emphasis on learning that meets ind'l needs.
Great idea, I'm struggling with this - just a few Ts, but no way to get through.
We've added a new counselor to our staff + adding more MH awareness books to library collection & marketing those titles
Feed the souls of your teachers and students with celebrations and acknowledgement.
A1: Our dress code is in gender neutral terms this year, & we're thinking about where professional standards have come from.
awesome! Excited to learn!
Good morning, - Julie from Florida jumping in a little late.
I saw something too - think it was a video. Maybe it was shared here. Touchy topic!
have to be past students' fingertips.
Yes to this. It is really about the vision, goal, purpose, and culture of the school. https://t.co/bDDFXwXhgY
Depending on your student dress code, staff dress code should model it
We need like a Meetup, right! https://t.co/NrO02jP631
could I get in on that play date. Would be fun to actually meet you guys.
A: Doing a building EdCamp style PD day can be a way to get teachers some experience leading PD. https://t.co/yPieCRR5BP
We have both a student and adult design team that work on school climate. https://t.co/67yj9dILti
Q: what are your schools enhancing this year to battle the stigma of and address mental health issues for Ss Ts and P's?
Thanks! We do our best to help everyone enjoy Texas :)
Reach out to and they are the PE experts.
I usually tell others that if they want to be treated as a professional by outsiders, then they will dress the part.
growth piece is huge for kids & teachers alike. It's not just the process but the goal planning. Now on to the how.
There are so many in house experts- we take advantage of that via DigiDays. Ts share their new ideas miniPDs
Dress code? Engagement, not compliance; start w/ the "why?" of dress code; have Ts brainstorm the "what"; synthesize to a list
Thank you, Kaleb! Good morning to you too, my friend!
Great question! Wanting to expand my lead team to include parents, students, and support staff. https://t.co/zKQZxhJRK0
Q: What does Collaborative Leadership look like at your school/in your district?
Philosophies, structures, implementation?
A1: We have a big focus on inclusion and building community within all student pops.
Build ldrsp capacity by giving tasks, trusting ppl get it done, be transparent, encourage, & lead by ie https://t.co/9e4GTlO8eI
Q: How are you recruiting and retaining diverse teachers?
was thinking for me....i hate pants
Heidi! Good to see you! Hope the summer is treating you and the Veal family well!
It IS a touchy topic & I feel uncomfortable telling adults what they should & shouldn't wear
Ryan, reach out to my friend , he is a leader in Physical Education in California.
Keep encouraging them to give themselves permission. Very hard for teachers. https://t.co/CNS7piBI9B
Q: How are you helping your staff to achieve "balance" between school obligations/work and their own time at home?
So great! What are some examples of steps you would like them to take?
Set expectations, have tough conversations!! It's not easy, but our - read that somewhere https://t.co/w5JwGphDJ8
Great idea, I'm struggling with this - just a few Ts, but no way to get through.
We're looking at this particularly as it relates to shifting paradigms/1:1 How can you honor their PLNs? https://t.co/lQyryv5zOC
That would be awesome! Now...how do we make that happen?
Give Ts high quality PD in and out of your school. Invest in them and they are campus leaders too.
I cringe when I see the jeans and t-shirt as regular dress.
Each staff member is part of one of seven sub-committees linked to our school improvement plan.
A: we are going to try modeling and using UDL in PD & staff meetings
The same as we do in our inquiry based classes. We find out what T's need and want in PD and flip it. https://t.co/VMllGrUkYu
Not sure if it's cutting-edge: traditional PE w/games + fitness classes based on personal goals of Ss.
hey, Danny! Always nice to "see" you. Hope the knee is feeling better!
My problem is there is a student dress code but nothing for adults.
Explore sports outside competition core..archery, lacrosse, rugby.....
Q: Anyone have a structure for staff personalized learning that has built in progress and accountability?
as leaders we have to go 1st. We are intentionally using some PD time w/ teachers to discuss "Share The Story."
Hi Brett! When can we have a Phipps/Veal meet up? It's a must! ???
Introducing badging opportunities centered around tools teaches can choose to use with students. https://t.co/OjhGpkAOkK
What will you be doing this Sch. year to help teachers stretch their practice?
My next-step is creating a student body of ❤️💪🏽 https://t.co/z1QCilHHb2
Great Q here, excited to lurk on responses. Fitness, eating habits, balance are all incredibly important.
I think this is great. Purpose for student dress code and modeling by adult dress code. https://t.co/NescN7ZUcC
A1: Our dress code is in gender neutral terms this year, & we're thinking about where professional standards have come from.
How about starting with letting them lead PD during staff mtngs?
is up north, is down south, and I are in the middle. Thinking of a brewery.
Our building leadership team helps make school wide decisions.Bring a problem, then bring a solution. https://t.co/Gs4CjO7byX
Q: What does Collaborative Leadership look like at your school/in your district?
Philosophies, structures, implementation?
Great work! The power of Twitter and the opportunity to build a tribe.
Happy Birthday Craig!!!! https://t.co/ENP7luvGM9
Happy Birthday to inspirational leader @ valued PLN member, Have an awesome day...thanks for all you do!
I rely heavily on our leadership team. You have to trust their feedback and trust their decision making. https://t.co/BYCIjmGuJm
Q: What does Collaborative Leadership look like at your school/in your district?
Philosophies, structures, implementation?
Interesting -do DigiDays replace traditional PD or are they in addition to?
pretty much what we talked about last week-want to be treated as professionals then look the part https://t.co/LrnHRcOGQd
our dress code is pretty straightforward. Professional attire, Friday spirit day. Reviewed 1st day every year.
Howdy Q: We recognize S of the Week; how do you spotlight Faculty & Staff throughout the year? Superhero of the month? Anything?
Having honest conversations once trust is established with Ss and Ps https://t.co/t1mNapTkmP
Q: what are your schools enhancing this year to battle the stigma of and address mental health issues for Ss Ts and P's?
Totally--we differentiate for students why not for adults? How will you do that?
out district is doing a lot this year with "emotional IQ" of the student.
sounds great. What are some of your processes you do that?
This happend at my job. Ss weren't allowed to wear them, but the director always did. It was upsetting. https://t.co/fmbwzVya9a
It's hard to tell a student to change out of their flip flops when the teacher bringing them down is wearing them!
- when the weather and the pace die down!! I am in!!
More learning walks in ea. others classrooms & giving ea. other constructive feedback. https://t.co/ELyWuY4fY9
What will you be doing this Sch. year to help teachers stretch their practice?
Hi Laura! Would love to pick your brain about innovative models of instructional coaching
Yes! Love this!!! They lead just as admins do. https://t.co/ngyfyoTYDb
Give Ts high quality PD in and out of your school. Invest in them and they are campus leaders too.
i think i move around more than many PE teachers
Like in our classrooms, engage. This can become a sensitive gender issue too. https://t.co/X3Sr8vR5Uy
That's my thinking! Do you just make that statement, recommend it, or engage staff?
Ours is simple - clean clothes, no holes, no leggings as pants, no underwear showing. But for some that's hard
Or field trips, or art projects, or primary teachers on the floor, or outdoor activities...
Q: When supporting different Ts from different campuses, how do you "meet & greet" & build relationships?
tell me more-not familiar with "share the story" https://t.co/DH8DhgcZMZ
as leaders we have to go 1st. We are intentionally using some PD time w/ teachers to discuss "Share The Story."
Instructional rounds allow for Ts to emerge. When peers see something they like it begins conversations
I always liked what Harry Wong said in his book - dress like a professional
Super important question! For the 1st time we have a counselor. This is a big staff training year!
I like your thinking! I grew up in Fallbrook so making it down that way is not hard!
At the school level - a leadership team (Ts, Parent, admin) work together to make decisions https://t.co/FIiwk50zKX
Q: What does Collaborative Leadership look like at your school/in your district?
Philosophies, structures, implementation?
Great examples! What kinds of discussions do you have teacher leaders lead?
I know! That's what said!! Should be amazing!
We have been talking a lot about time to tinker with new ideas to make sense of the "how" of implementation.
What Do Principals do for Ts, Ss and parents on the first day of school to make all feel welcomed and celebrate a new year?
Stephanie tech coach from MO. joining late.
I don't understand leggings!
Can you be more specific with "professionally"?
what? You don't love our 100+ degree North Texas weather. Yes, we have to make it happen.
We invited Ps to PE in May for SUPERHERO Badge Day. They LOVED being a part of child's experience
That's a big one for me (& many others) as well! https://t.co/5D21nFakCF
Change - mentally making switch to I don't have to be the expert at everything or know all the ans today https://t.co/YCbkxtorvJ
What is the biggest challenge you've ever faced during your teaching career & how did you deal with it?
Chad, ElementaryAssistant Principal - Graham Local Schools
To me, if something doesn't distract from learning i.e. flip flops, should it really be against the dress code?
Have your staff develop one collaboratively? Offer some current resources as support.
I would be interested in this too - as a PD provider I'd like to help educators work with this idea
Is there really a teacher shortage? Probably depends on location. In many cases, new teachers can't find jobs
MT Good morning everyone and welcome to EdCamp! Please introduce yourself before we get started! … https://t.co/3BbgdU6Rds
Good morning everyone and welcome to EdCamp! Please introduce yourself before we get started! https://t.co/Ni72ixRrCr
be sure you to share your name & where you are from this morning! Let's go edcamping today! https://t.co/iLnNcLmT0c
They do not replace but instead continue the learning from full PD sessions. This way Ts can show off what they learned,
Yeah, who gets to define "professional wear?"
I'm great! Ready to take on the new school year!
How about a staff mtng with T-led breakout sessions? Participants choose who to see.
We are very clear that we are to dress as the professional we desire to be treated.
Q: Wanting to implement more restorative practices in my school. Looking for resources and ideas.
I have been trying to help Ts get set up in classroom and set a video message out to families
LOVE this idea!! Lowers the anxiety level when they are choosing the type of learning they will lead!
I do "super hero shootouts" in my weekly news to staff It was cool because some staff will nominate others, too!
Make sure everyone - Ts Ss P's - understand the "Why?" And own the the "Why?"
Oh, I can totally do that!
present/share/lead PLCs to demonstrate for peers...share PD learning & strategies https://t.co/w0Kongscvn
Great examples! What kinds of discussions do you have teacher leaders lead?
So true! Don't think I am up for that challenge. Start small and think big.
More helpful than it seems....fiction books dealing with issue helps all. Collect various levels.
For sure. I ask Ts not to wear jeans M-Th. Friday spirit days so okay. Look professional
each site looks a little different-we ask anyone who wants to be part to join in-ask that voices focus on solutions
Q: What specifically is your favorite aspect of Day 1 with students? feel free to attach a gif to A 🙂 https://t.co/aZhgAjIvAf
we have incredible leadership training for all team/Dept leads. Uniform method of taking minutes & transparency.
Est clarity about what initiative is, how it will be implemented, what is the expectation, and how will support.
AWe've been given a child no youth worker for our school dedicated to mental health for Ss. Part 1 https://t.co/Vo0GdxgWfN
Q: what are your schools enhancing this year to battle the stigma of and address mental health issues for Ss Ts and P's?
that is great. Teachers need that time to tinker. We have to remember that the calendar doesn't drive learning.
hi Tim!!! I'll be in the area end of Aug (Plainfield, McHenry) & would love to meet u!
What are the best ways to minimize "bullying" in the school?
I am having all use Google's Tour Builder to map their educational journey and share it!
If you do that, I would love to see what that looks like. Think Ps in my district would like that.
- YES! The mentality has allowed me to calm down and make better decisions-my 10ft climate is a lot better too!
Oooo yes!!!! has 170 vacancies and about 70. Plus tons in . https://t.co/Pdpuu0afqG
Is there really a teacher shortage? Probably depends on location. In many cases, new teachers can't find jobs
part 2- and that leadership teams doesn't become a complaint session-norms are important
If you look like you're going to go shopping at Wal-Mart, you're not dressed professionally
Me too Todd! Together WE all make our schools great!
Dude, when this over...let's DM, exchange email, and make it happen! BANG. https://t.co/mS7rmmn6CA
Oh, I can totally do that!
So critical to see the wisdom that is "in the house" and capitalize on it. How do you push them to next level?
I'm interested to see what that will look like throughout the school. https://t.co/Vo0GdxgWfN
Q: what are your schools enhancing this year to battle the stigma of and address mental health issues for Ss Ts and P's?
A welcome to a new school year YouTube video that goes to every family and staff member.

John Miller from on Johns Island, SC joining the party for the first time
Will be presenting Monday to our ESS branch on that…using Brafman/Gutsche’s work, using chaos as vehicle
Sounds like fun! Thank you!
Q: During college, was there ever a time where you felt like giving up the teaching career. What made you keep going?
We've started weekly individualized PD - start with mini-lessons by Ts
It has been the missing link for our teachers and school leaders.
I am sensing this format is not normal.
Boom! Very practical for life. They'll find you and thank you later!
This is awesome! A great way to personalize your leadership!
We do a T of the month. Also give out PAWS cards each month to every staff member in the buildings. https://t.co/hNEthj6FlA

Great way to recognize staff!
Crazy as it sounds, in the past I've received push back about staff dress expectations. "It's not in the contract."
is in the house!! Do yourself a favor and ff him!!
I am doing that this year. Working with to create this model on our campuses! Let's brainstorm!
My favorite thing is having some fun and starting to build relationships that will take us through the year.
We've actually tried this, but still have a few that won't comply. Time for tough convo :(
Our staff submit "kudos" about ea. other which are posted in our weekly bulletin. They love it. https://t.co/pquzFQjRLN
Howdy Q: We recognize S of the Week; how do you spotlight Faculty & Staff throughout the year? Superhero of the month? Anything?
use morning meetings to discuss individuals and respecting everyone. Acceptance starts in the primary grades
will do! Pls send email:)
at the beginning of the year I like to observe a different classroom from a different subject 2 times a week
And it's fun! Exchange once a month.
define bullying & zero tolerance. Ts need 2 walk the walk. Ss are always listening. https://t.co/4pdjqdrsqj
What are the best ways to minimize "bullying" in the school?
We will be implementing a coaching cycle accountability model that includes: goal setting, obs., feedback and repeat.
There are so many negative people in some schools that made me Q whether or not I wanted to. The + won out.
With 11 new Ts I am hoping to work on relationships so they can 'learn' about each other to become a TEAM.
Ask, "Would our student pay a $1 to come to our class." Sometimes it is all just in the delivery. https://t.co/cODfTua9IN
Going to throw out my first Q for the day. How are you re-imagining learning for your teachers as they are coming back?
Q: How is your school using innovative thinking to break away from the traditional mindset?
Combine capacity with my favorite word YET...as in people haven't reached their leadership capacity YET.

Hi David! Hope all is well. Sounds like your audience will receive great learning.
Question: How has your school effectively integrated technology into the classrooms?
What skills do you REALLY want Ss to have when they leave your school? How are you teaching those skills? https://t.co/JX05ZuzmBa
We don't have a lot of rules (truly) but no flip flops is one. Great customer service is apart of how we dress.
So will you have the same sessions each staff meeting?
You're right. But I have to admit: talking to adults about clothing is something I dread....
I've heard this many times:(
at SHHS was looking to start a strength training class encouraging non-athletes to live strong https://t.co/cU7AHGZOMP
Q: Really want to revamp my school's PE curriculum. Curious if my Tribe is doing anything cutting-edge? 🚴🏼⛹🏿🏋🏾🏃🏽💨
A1: Make sure they know my only job is to support their needs. Whether helping get access to something new or guiding the hard.
I suppose that means the contract needs to be rewritten to include it?
Principals need to DO things that they ask Ts to do- show me that YOU can implement it, show me vulnerability
Q: What is the ONE book you would give to all your teachers to read?
We do positive office referrals for students, maybe we need to open it up so students can refer staff?
Help em SEE themselves as leaders W/Weekly pers'lized news abt leadership in bldg, identifying Ts, Ss as leaders
moderates a PE chat on Twitter he is an excellent resource and knows his stuff.
Empowers is such a great word! And when teams know they are making real decisions, they rise to the challenge!
Q: Brings up another Q. When salaries are ⬆️, & Ts still leave, how can we increase job satisfaction? https://t.co/arWM1bljMd
in Alberta, starting salaries are at around 50k, and max out at approx 100k in 10 years.

We provided Mental Wellness First Aid course to staff - looking for flags of distress, then knowing where to refer
Opening assemblies, welcoming back returning students and introducing new students to the greatness of your school.

So great! Differentiated learning 4 adults! Means so much more when professional learning is tailored to their needs.
Start w faculty mtgs.- want tech use tech-want engagement teach in mtg w engagement-want differn make PD diff 4 Ts
I often get asked by teacher how they can get recognized for their self-directed learning via Twitter, Voxer
what did this look like in your school? Did you have specific built in days to work on tech?
you have a huge advantage of already having relationships. The key will be to change dynamics of relationship
We often try to treat leadership as if it's attached to a particular position. Teachers can help lead & we need to develop them!
finding those who will set an example/model. Let the message come from Ts rather than admin.
Q. How are you using assessments and data? Are you using it more to drive student learning or teacher effectiveness?
How do committees stay fired up so it doesn't become mundane, compliance oriented committee work? Any ?

Difficult conversations are important conversations. Gender balance in policy is key.
We will be 1:1 Chromebooks this year 6th-8th all Ss, very excited!
So wise. If we want them to connect, then how will we connect with them?
Q What do you think student assessment scores have dropped since the implementation of CCR standards?
No flip flops seems to be universal!

I put it into my staff expectations list and have the conversation about importance of professionalism
T' must trust we will support them in chaos & discovery in the learning gap between Now and the Vision https://t.co/z0w1qZlYEQ
No, I'm hearing impaired and voxer is hard for me. I'm writing a blog post. Will share. We can text to discuss?
Lots of training options and PD to become proficient/familiar w/ Google Classroom/docs/etc.
It's simple but I don't know of many admins that actually do it They preach w/o understanding need for time/trials
bring knowledge of the school together- Ts create screencasts w/ demos & examples. Avoids pressure/ time limits
I've set up Google class for them, but need to screencast how to use for them first.
I have a that push the envelope and have gone to them privately. It's a different mind set in our schools.
Teachers need to be valued, first. Value their opinion on curriculum, instruction and assessment issues. https://t.co/JoUun7jgq7
Interested in the tribes thoughts on teacher leadership. How can we do a better job of developing teacher leaders?
Try recruiting from states where there are abundance of candidates & too few openings

What are the best ways to minimize "bullying" in the school?
I did that also... I think another key is to keep things as positive as possible in your convos & T relationships!
Kids Deserve It by Todd Nesloney & Adam Welcome https://t.co/Evni5vAVfM
Q: What is the ONE book you would give to all your teachers to read?
Yes! If we realized that we had the next Olympian, Rhodes Scholar, Astronaut in our class, would we teach different?
We sometimes have over 100 applicants for one position

Q What advice do you have being a principal in new building? I was a principal at another school for 4 yrs
I like this question!! https://t.co/1n9MxWdzPE
Q: Anyone have a structure for staff personalized learning that has built in progress and accountability?
Q-What great team building activity are you going to do with your staff when they come back?
Some of our most engaging PD days were those that were T-led & staff had multiple choices
Going to work hard on being the lead leaner in the building. https://t.co/Q9ZIW0Z6rk
Going to throw out my first Q for the day. How are you re-imagining learning for your teachers as they are coming back?
we actually skip assemblies and get straight 2 class. We pick up norms through short videos during the wk
Many, Many times. But I knew deep down "I teach, because I must" - it's deeply in my being - a CALLING https://t.co/GngvzQkEbm
Q: During college, was there ever a time where you felt like giving up the teaching career. What made you keep going?
Right, we have to make intelligent subtractions to make meaningful additions. We typically just pile it on
They aren't overly great for back support!
Hire a great secretary :) https://t.co/CEjZCp7A5S
Q What advice do you have being a principal in new building? I was a principal at another school for 4 yrs

Q: Please share your favorite ways to celebrate your teachers' and students' successes.
when is your training set aside?
We will be 1:1 every core classroom for 6th and a few throughout district.
I use and award badges Kids LOVE to collect them!
Principals need to frequently visit classrooms. Visit need not be long. Ss get to know them. Ts know it's not a gotcha
Same here - I think it says dress appropriately but no specific definition.
Positive office referrals-student called down to office and recognized followed up with phone call home. https://t.co/n67vJ8LjRX
Q: Please share your favorite ways to celebrate your teachers' and students' successes.
Yes, the avoidance of tough convos is the source of a lot of strife in a building.
If improvement begins and ends with the teacher, their leadership should be primary to improving achievement, not secondary
Regarding dress code, I usually say Ts have to follow the S dress code and dress as well or better than the best dressed S
the confidence to lead, explore on their own, curate valuable resources, contribute to the world and collaborate
Wow. I'm learning that I participate better with focused questions. Squirrel! So much great at once
Nice...I'm sure some are nervous doing so at first but your support and encouragement grows their capacity to lead.
actually thinking about doing a Pokemon Go afternoon hunt prior to our beginning of the year staff BBQ. https://t.co/LlwCa9uyeg
Q-What great team building activity are you going to do with your staff when they come back?
Trust teachers to innovate. Offer guidance instead of permission. Build a culture of trust. Build a culture of yes.
We used the cohort model as well. Ts led PD on a specific topic for the semester
I'm gonna have to look into that one.
The funny thing is we are device/tool centric/driven in a world that is trying to moving away, toward experiences.
We need to pinpoint and share the great things our teachers are doing so we can replicate! https://t.co/OSWXYYoQ9l
finding those who will set an example/model. Let the message come from Ts rather than admin.
very interesting for content specific T. Maybe good 4 self-contained Ts who want 2 gain knowledge of a subject area?
Listen. Listen. Observe. Take notes. Pay attention. Listen.
Support the teachers. Support the teachers. Support the teachers. This gives you credibility. https://t.co/o1qwn0QDnl

❤️ this model! https://t.co/CL8trBjDK7
we moved away from traditional PE. We run: team sports, cardio/fitness, walking, strength and conditioning. Ss choice.
Yes! I've been playing with that.Thanks for reminder.
Hi Jay! Great to connect w you on today. Thx for sharing your structure for supporting collaborative leadership. ✅
But how? Visually on a bulletin board? With an affirmation card? With a Coke and a Compliment at a faculty mtg?
Yes, a long visit by an admin who appears genuinely interested is unlikely to be a gotcha. Say it w/o saying it.
And if you 'dress down' like the Ss there is no modeling of expectations for them.
Each T who selected their own topic will lead each session. Goal was what Ts can share w/ passion https://t.co/98YjXvUy7T
Who'll be leading them? Or are they strictly organically collaborative?
Creating online options for trainings with performance tasks and revisits. Adds choice and tasks are implementation.
A team photo scavenger hunt off site... builds relationships and some competitive spirit!
Well said. Fun to walk into classes and see if the focus is on the teaching... Or the learning.
book titled Turn the Ship Around is great for this
research says Ts stay when there is transparency, communication, trust, recognition, part of decisions.
private and public praise! Rewards efforts not just success/results!
take all the things you learned from and use them. Have those conversations you shyer away from early and often
Fun PD idea: have a progressive "dinner", ea. gr. lvl provides a snack and presents a PD bit. We're gonna try it!

I would love to do a but not sure if I can get the materials I need but will try. https://t.co/5FGG6ByhL3
Q-What great team building activity are you going to do with your staff when they come back?
"Which data are you using," not just "how". W/o diverse data, it matters little how it's used. Yes?
We had Friday s a day to wear jeans but that has evolved to be all days.
I love it when I meet principals who pop into every classroom, every day.
YES! What's one way you teach your students how to really do this well?
This is powerful stuff!!! https://t.co/KB5CnWwJgr
Love that idea! I'm writing a note to each 8th gr Ss - some I have known since K. Special year!
we have T & S shoutouts. Use of google form to collect & create graphics to share out. Simple but it means so much.
So many teachers want to lead from their classrooms, not the principal's office! How can we embed a teacher leadership culture?
Last yr we started a T nominated S awards Ss and Ps invited to come in before school for a ceremony to recognize Ss.
Great Q-depends on the assessment-we must be honest w/ ourselves about the data-so both... https://t.co/VmA7yVM6wS
Q. How are you using assessments and data? Are you using it more to drive student learning or teacher effectiveness?
just looking for ways to be the most effective with training. Want to learn from others experience.
I want to create a bulletin board to do this. We celebrate wishes for Ts & Ss successes
Yes, which limits space available for new learning. We need to be much more intentional on where we place emphasis.
we've empowered teachers to design a whole new freshmen year giving them time, agency, & support
yes...going on our 7th year. We are always learning and implementing new practices.

Totally off topic but I just went over a 1000 tweets

Especially when kids suffer bc of it.
Yes.... https://t.co/JPoGnUKpjj
I'm trying to convince my principal friends to focus on collective efficacy & cognitively engagement w/ their teachers
I feel they are more for adults than kids. Gives us peace we said it to everyone. 5 yrs since I did one
How do you feel about teacher development days when there are no students?
has great ideas on similar design with Escape the Room styled PD. You should hook up.
>>>>QUESTION<<<<< If Ts are expected to show evidence of learning/practice should ADMINS do the same? make portfolio?
Lace them into the boots of my units. PBL gives me the opportunity to engage & facilitate these skills everyday!
So great to have training set aside to develop leadership. Is it open to all teachers? Even those without "title"?
I loved it w/ 8th last year.....can't wait for everyone to have it!
Take advantage of the relationships you've already built, and expand them further. Still eat with staff. https://t.co/GktpXoyfXT

Yes, we can't make everything a priority. What if we designed learning to incite passion & purpose?
Q What top social justice needs/responsibilities/issues do Ss need to explore.
I love that idea--"Lace them into the boots"
Thanks, Zach!
You quoted Data Wise! :) So important to consider learning from the adult perspective.
did one with admin this year! It was fascinating 2 see who took the lead 4 which parts!
shared a walk that her community hosted. That might be fun, too.
How beneficial are data walls?

Great Q-could this B Goal setting at beginning & then digital portfolio showing journey-maybe blogging https://t.co/saSBKwECR9
Q: Anyone have a structure for staff personalized learning that has built in progress and accountability?
Absolutely! Central office admins should find avenues for this
Yes for sure! Suggestions for helping some teachers walk away from things they "believe" in?
Good! We expect our teams to review them regularly & ask, "how are we doing with these? Areas of refinement?"
shouldn't admins be involved in helping Ts help in the success of their Ss? So absolutely!!
Yes! Goals must be co-constructed in order to gain buy-in. Include all stakeholders in decision making.
What said! And this includes DISTRICT leaders. All of us lead learning- prove it! https://t.co/x85mgyOOmo
Leaders serve...get out of the office! https://t.co/FbD3xhMKdj

Q-What great team building activity are you going to do with your staff when they come back?
giving Ts notice of, "I'll be stopping by (history or 7th gr clses) this week "10-15 min visits" is welcomed
In today’s data overload, it will be a necessary shift

I have started to gather my thoughts around each Ss to make each one personal.
That's awesome. The "Tech-Heros" will gain as much from that experience as anyone. https://t.co/1PItRpcl2E
Kickoff this year is Ts teaching Ts 35 of our Tech-Heros will be helping Tech-explorers & Tech-hesitant see the potential.

Q What advice do you have being a principal in new building? I was a principal at another school for 4 yrs
Tech is just continuing to grow. I want to know what's the best out there. Any suggestions on what's the best computers to get?
Q: What are you doing to document your journey as a building leader/Admin?
some release time for Ts that r < panicked to help those that are more. Also assign Ss like the old av club
I'm good with casual on those days.
Teachers are people.Fun challenges that are family friendly. Knowing family makes it easier to care about staff
I love this! The Ts have to build the culture of doing it differently. Do the Ts own the “Brand” https://t.co/gwWyh9O0v3
Who is leading the improvement effort in your school? Admin needs to start the conversation,but teachers need to lead the way!
Admin must set a culture of leadership-"Be a leader wherever you are" from EdCamp yesterday https://t.co/MK8sJhfJ6M
So many teachers want to lead from their classrooms, not the principal's office! How can we embed a teacher leadership culture?
Every teacher should work to lead the way to school improvement. Agree!
try not 2 drop level of learning while U learn how 2 implement. Use it when it has a purpose not just 2 use it
haven't heard of this one Mark. Thanks for the recommend.
We were once told 'business casual' but those days are a mishmash!
Thanks for the reminder of positive office referrals 👍, would like to add them to morning announcements too!

Nice! Our HS does a student breakfast monthly for those who are chosen as models of the core values.
We're doing breakoutedu on first day. I'm so excited!
Weaving fun into the hard work is important from the top to the bottom. Building teams & healthy relationships. Admin, Ts, Ss.
Q Any first week of school rituals or something new you're trying to do during the first week?
our leadership team will be leading the way! Team is made up of 8 Ts representing grade levels and specialists.
Every action to excellence is at the mercy of the teachers who execute it. As admin we generate ideas, but teachers execute them
I really do better in small group PD when comes to tech. It takes me a while to process/learn.
groups like & are helping get T voice out & build leadership from classroom https://t.co/caeWXh21U1
So many teachers want to lead from their classrooms, not the principal's office! How can we embed a teacher leadership culture?
agree. Curriculum co's have misinterpreted & misrepresented the "how 2 teach" CCSS. It's about cognition, not compliance
I liked what you said about small groups I think that many prefer learning that way. You can be more vulnerable.
Trust is KEY! I Love that you used the wd Trust 2x in your tweet about your leadership team.
This is where it is vital to include parent and student voice as part of any improvement effort! https://t.co/F9ddCUWVHN

My last Q: There's tons of chats. Which one has been AWESOME to you & why?
Provide as much Show don't Tell as possible . If leadership is providing ways to engage, it creates shared value

This year giving "Innovator's Mindset". 👏 https://t.co/0KWJabvJrg
Q: What is the ONE book you would give to all your teachers to read?
That's incentive. Will you ask them to present what they learned in the conferences?
This is great! Thanks for sharing your ideas!
That's an interesting thought! That sends message of jeans not accepted daily.
Though reflective.This year I MUST keep a journal as an admin. I have not for past several years & I need to.
notice how the arrangement says, "learn from each other" and not "learn from me"
Not just what we believe in, but what needs to change, because our world is changing…exponentially

Though reflective.This year I MUST keep a journal as an admin. I have not for past several years & I need to.
I did the same thing! Any ideas for which breakout you will use?
Awesome! If you assign a goal to a student, only one person is truly invested!
I know of many admins who seem to be not in know- are they reading? connected? seeking PD? If are, not visible
Curriculum, Khan Academy, and IXL should be used to teach ways 2 use concepts and procedures, not how it must be done
That is a GREAT question! What do you tell them?
A bunch of us just read Launch and Hacking Education. https://t.co/EKWPZ73N04
Q: What is the ONE book you would give to all your teachers to read?
Create a video that is a chronology of every year's Highlights. Play it at the end of year staff meeting.
Get to know each T before you begin to evaluate. Take the time to learn something about each staff member.
Here's another topic... What's your ideal vision for the role of families? How do you make that happen? How do they?
pd will focus on building rel so Ts can use them w/ Ss
https://t.co/ksE3W7OLEx
Create a video that is a chronology of every year's Highlights. Play it at the end of year staff meeting.
don't take it personally when some of those relationships change. use your insight to do what's best
Otherwise I usually fall behind. LOL
Great idea! We have also done a jeans week where Ts donate money to wear jeans to raise money for a charity.
anything by But what great teachers do differently is amazing. 👍🏻

Every evaluation is a chance to celebrate a T as much as it is a chance to collaborate.
I think so too- just seems like admins TELL but aren't required to SHOW their professional learning
Create a welcoming environment.
I also need time to walk away, try it and come back with questions.
Slow down trainings - provide lots of support - make it clear they have time to learn - check in personally
yay! I should b visiting there soon w !
Kudos for removing the barriers of space and time and allowing adult learners to learn when they can!
School improvement is not a solo exercise. It requires leadership from all. It rises & falls on the backs of teachers.
We have a bday assembly. Admin does a skit, we all sing HB to the school & cupcakes for all! https://t.co/jFe7H1UToX

Q: What's standard for "A" in STEAM? When is it value added vs gesture, a nod to arts teachers?Don't always see integrity here
frame sharing so that others see the learning as personally-driven & rewarding; we advocate to admin to recognize
Do you use Voxer? After an informal walkthrough - send them a Vox. So much better than a note/email.
I love - starts my day with positive thinking & energizes me! is also one I try not to miss

I have not thought about that idea. Everyone does love food
Yes! It helps me teach my Ss to discover what kind of learners they are.
I image our PD is going to fun and relevant!

like I have here! Trying to catch up!
It's hard to grow as an admin I have 2 have a staff that allows u 2 without getting frustrated
it's so impt to remember that all Ts learn differently too! Not just Ss:)
For far too long we have left the most important people out of the improvement conversation-Ask your teachers how do we improve?

Q: What is the ONE book you would give to all your teachers to read?
Our school does instructional rounds. I send a recap each day w/images & a description of our classrooms around the school.
I allow time to be an excuse. I'm so "on" when at school & when I leave family time.
Thank you for the great book recommendation!
Get more of that 1:1 conferencing. :)
We no longer have space for divergent…we go right to the convergent. We choose quick solutions over big questions.
and that's OK!! Being not afraid is all I ever needed from Ts when I was a coach:)
Collaborative Leadership is ⬇️ Diverse, Inclusive & Solution Oriented! Yes ! https://t.co/DmZpemyngm
each site looks a little different-we ask anyone who wants to be part to join in-ask that voices focus on solutions
Adobe Spark is another great one!
. it should never be all on the teachers. Admins, families, community must support change.
I love that teachers do not have to have Voxer to receive a Vox.
School improvement is a conversation for all-not just for admin. Collective effort requires collective inquiry. Teachers lead!
. Me, too! Journaling is so important...for reflection AND documentation.

I would check if there is a board policy and set expectations/standards. We are doing that this year.
I've tried for 3 years and only have 2 Ts on Twitter...still figuring out how to climb that mtn https://t.co/M8KblprJoJ
Q: do you encourage your Ts to use twitter? I have been thinking about a faculty mtg via twitter. Is that ridiculous?
get some early victories too
Make sure it has purpose. Make sure there's comfort and willingness before beginning.
We are going to try to get more of our Ts using this year. Sharing the great things we are doing! https://t.co/7YAGfkRKRY

Yes! Can’t let maker space be a place, it is a mindset. https://t.co/8NuKzgliTW
YES! Us too! So here's my question: How do you build that maker mentality in your classrooms? https://t.co/WCP1quDQC6
While we are going to have a , we must have the maker mentality in classrooms every day. https://t.co/VHRSZBzkJM
I really want it to be intertwined in class rather than a place you "go" to be creative or design. https://t.co/SfLrH7eHyg
My message this year is moving from consumption to creation so Launch fit perfectly in that thinking. https://t.co/cqGjKWetXj
Those two books are awesome! Launch is going to be our lead team focus for the year! https://t.co/P7hHGNNPcW
A bunch of us just read Launch and Hacking Education. https://t.co/EKWPZ73N04
Q: What is the ONE book you would give to all your teachers to read?
Encourage Ts to connect. Twitter is 1 way to do that. I've had PLC via Twitter & Ts enjoyed it. https://t.co/fZrNUimo3n
Q: do you encourage your Ts to use twitter? I have been thinking about a faculty mtg via twitter. Is that ridiculous?
A great idea. We usually do a ticket to leave - they type up and share the responses.
totally agree!Can get so overwhelming when we think of everything that we want/need to teach.Thanks for reminder.

We have abundance of applicants in CT. Have you recruited from there?
absolutely you can! All change is met by some push back. Don't give the validation! 👊
I started a bunch of Twitter challenges where I gave away stuff...happy to share if you are interested! https://t.co/n9U07LC8fo

Your passion is your compass. If you don't know your purpose you will spend your time doing the wrong things.
I like that! Set them up for success and provide the opportunity for growth.
partner them up with someone who is NOT the most advanced in the school w tech. Find T who is mid level
Hi Nancy. Been on since 9:35 😂 is so enormous we don't even see our best F2F buds when on! Lol!

What gets in the way of teacher leadership? Administrators and their egos. It's ok for teachers to lead. Share the load!
Not ridiculous at all, I want to do the same - trying to come up with the best way to promote and dive in 😊
hopefully a learning experience for them!
We want to share the collaboration piece too! https://t.co/z0mzUcuVFO
We all use twitter but most use it as a sharing tool and not as a learning tool. https://t.co/rBKG7SWFe2
Q: do you encourage your Ts to use twitter? I have been thinking about a faculty mtg via twitter. Is that ridiculous?
Also find out their learning style and provide them w resources that support this
Not ridiculous - is ingenious! do do do do do do do do - and let us know how it goes!
Blessed w/Ts who moved away from textbooks. Next step: allow Ss to choose how to demonstrate learning. https://t.co/9sC22c51Vf

We use SchoolSpring and have had applicants from many states.
also, to what extent do you stick to what they "will" be doing? Don't they also drive what will happen?
Can you give tips on how to start blogging? How to be an effective blogger? Would like to learn.
ooh... I want to see the responses to this
great idea! we are ramping up ala and I feel all need to be sharing on twiiter
We must remember, learning cascades. What we want for students must be experienced by educators. Create space and opportunity…
Another idea to get our Ts outside of our walls and into the community to serve. Ts loved this one, too! https://t.co/tzpVXaBDEh
I would encourage any Ts that aren't involved, to start getting in. It's been life changing for me. https://t.co/Dzd4w9u0gv
Q: do you encourage your Ts to use twitter? I have been thinking about a faculty mtg via twitter. Is that ridiculous?
I am having a hard time finding everyone! Great conversations! Love this format!
What gets in the way of teacher leadership? Toxic cultures with professional jealousy. Compete together-not against each other!
Have a cookout in the neighborhood, go to Ss sporting events, have a pick up trash day https://t.co/igUsRXDj4e
Q: What is the best way Ts can serve their school, district, and community OUTSIDE the classroom? Specific examples old 😄
I was drawn to Twitter way before I found or so it has to be organic. Can't be forced
I'm going to have them all sign up during our first meeting
Yes! Love this idea. I did a screencasify for Ts to watch about "rules" and such. Our F2F time will be 2 connect
does this too! I was moved by the interview on with . I want to try it!
What a great idea! Have you thought about using the Goosechase app to design the tour?
And, often that requires: Framing, Introspection, Reflection, Dialogue, Crafting & Imagining a Future together
What qualities do you value in an effective school leader?
You bet! The 2 biggest things are (1) write to process your learning & (2) share, share, share
love this idea! Would 1st time be facilitated remotely of all together for support?
some teachers need the opportunity to lead
Day 1 is fun good old ice breakers..lets get to know each other and set the goals for the year!! Set positive expectations
Can anyone give tips on how to start blogging and how to be an effective blogger? Any resources on blogging?
Don't worry about writing for an audience. Write do document what you are learning. But...
It is a comfort thing. Not 100% first try. But get a few on board & highlight discussion during meetings.
great way to serve and lead
sharing will create some biases in reflective writing
not at all! I knew a great bldg leader who ran a Mon morn chat so that faculty could discuss reading goal w/o "meeting"
Love that challenge!! No rules day 1!

School improvement is a conversation for all-not just for admin. Collective effort requires collective inquiry. Teachers lead!
The key is to give a taste of the cool stuff they will do...make 'em excited to come back for day 2!
I would love if you could share this. I'm in the same boat. 👍
I don't think she really cared to be honest. Prob happy to be rid of me. LOL
would love to learn more from you I will be checking out your website.
what is a Goosechase app? I will need to check that out
I haven't had much luck either. Ts are often very frightened by the speed of Twitter chats
I love the idea. Engage them in the learning...maybe even invite a guest speaker!
We also did it at a staff meeting and some teachers who were comfortable led us.
Running a meeting with Twitter or Voxer gives everyone voice. This will also admin see positives
Don't be bashful about sharing. It's your job to share if you have good ideas that to help edus
will keep you posted or you can read about it in my
What we're trying to solve when we discuss school improvement didn't happen at the hands of one-collective inquiry matters!
Let's push each other! Learn, fail, pivot or persevere. Let's not be okay; Let's push 4 dynamic tension https://t.co/EP593spTOe
You make me pause and think as a building leader. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome ideas Helen, thanks! Seems to be a common thread/theme...👍
agree what is the best platform
BOOM! Start and end with relationships! Screencasts will be my messaging system with staff this year!

I've seen scaffolding so that newbies can do small group F2F tweet-up and get support before going solo
thank you for all your insight as a student of tech! Valuable info for me to use going forward!
Haven't read these - will look into them. Thanks!
Let them lurk. Twitter is a journey.
I like the word CRAFT. A great teacher is an artist with how they teach and what they inspire others to create.
Admin said that 1st wks of school needs 2 B about rules & structure. Wish it said needs 2 B about engagement & relationship
Thanks for tips on blogging.
Some schools actually have a character report card. They use it for goal setting.
kind of like modeling a flipped classroom. Flipped staff meetings! It is one of my new favorite tools
Divergent then convergent, design as a process, engage a beta/exponential mindset, be action-oriented, empathy determines value
When we are problem solving in our schools who's sitting at the table? If it's all admin....that's a sign😳. Teachers lead!
Ss always ask why admin was there. To see their awesomeness, of course.
Ditto. Two must ignored voices in education - our customers! Families and students. https://t.co/OaaPlL2yvq

I would love to see what you did with T's and Twittter challenges.
Day 1 is vital to culture building, every parent will ask S how was school that day!!!! Set the tone!!
I go back & forth about what I think of char report cards. I agree with the heart of it
Totally agree. Evident those guys let their core values drive their careers
Day 3, 4, 34, 134 too! :)
True. I bought 140 Twitter Tips 2 share with them - explains slow start. hopefully it will help

https://t.co/cLmvZmPG92
I like the word CRAFT. A great teacher is an artist with how they teach and what they inspire others to create.
Especially for Some of the specific certs.
If we want to make teacher leadership a routine part of our work, we must embed it into our daily practices. Leadership daily!
We are seeing CT applicants moving to Carolinas, Georgia, Florida
yep! We do and makes perfect sense to me. Lots of aspects go into learning and growing.
I had the same question. Sounds like PokemonGo for Ts!
Great insight! Do Ss to feel school is a place of safety or a place of compliance and fear of failure https://t.co/1rgTgJhF6S
Admin said that 1st wks of school needs 2 B about rules & structure. Wish it said needs 2 B about engagement & relationship
Yikes! Slide the rules in while building relationships and team. They will never know.
not sure I get the pic, but yes!
how did you accomplish this?
I am a great person to ask. LOL Anytime!

Need to run! Thanks for a great chat everyone! This group is on fire!

Awesome! This is out first one :)
but I think others would joint just to be in on the conversation. we are all nosey.
I use Wordpress...write about your day, week...a fellow teacher...a passionate idea or lesson.

Great today! Thx for the convo about Collaborative Leadership.
Yes, shortages in some areas, but plenty of elementary applicants & some secondary areas
that's the exact advice I gave the Ts that reached out to me! Love it!
Thanks for all the conversation this morning, !
I always enjoy the change of pace chat brings Thanks!
develop a hashtag for Ts to have conversation about whatever ?s they have.

Enjoy your weekend ! Thanks for sharing such great ideas today!
Thanks Barbara! You are always so kind with your affirmation!
some need to be taught how to use it...I lead sessions at conferences to teach teachers
partner Ss and Ts with similar interests and have them serve together.
Another great insight! What is the school culture feel if that is the vibe. How are Ts celebrated https://t.co/Wm4bDFlHJS
and the Ts fear failure and follow compliance, too. Gotta change that mindset!
