      Q2 What is it that determines if a school is great or not? (Think about it from a parent/ student viewpoint) #TXed

    A6 As a leader the fastest way to lose respect is failing to clearly define your expectations and priorities. Same goes for Ts #txed

    A6 The expectation that students will always give something a go. That's often enough to get the ball rolling! #TXed
    • TXEDMod - Moderator Mar 22 @ 10:09 PM EDT
      Q6 Expectations...which are good to start/maintain in ur classroom/school? Who sets these?Should Ts also post ones for themselves? #TXed
  • MsJohnson026 Mar 22 @ 10:25 PM EDT
    A6: Ts and Ss can collaboratively write classroom classroom expectations. This helps to promote accountability. #txed

    A2 A common drive to be better across grade levels and content areas is what stands out to me the most about a "great" school #TXed

    • GuysBride Mar 22 @ 10:04 PM EDT
      A5-If you're thirsty, you drink. I ask how thirsty are you as an educator? #txed
  • fieldsofthemind Mar 22 @ 10:28 PM EDT
    And that minutes spent on deeper creativity yield greater results than hours spent on the surface #txed #edchat
    • danperez4ed Mar 22 @ 10:03 PM EDT
