A2 Alone - I'm more comfortable learning from mistakes in private.
A2Admin used to be directives from above. In my office are HUGE letters 'WE" to constantly remind myself & others how we "roll"
, a2 I prefer to take on challenges as a team, without my awesome team at school, we would not be able to accomplish our goals.
Right, and playing w/ others. We should jam one day.
A2 always great to have a team-in schools quality leadership teams lead to more success with challenges

A2: It depends on the challenge.What is the end result,who is motivated & what skill sets are needed. https://t.co/TSnGOIhctV
A2: Sorry got called away. I tack on challenges alone at first. Just my headstrong manner. I need to change that.
A3:inviting people to share best practices, noticing and acknowledging colleagues ideas-a subtle invitation to lead.
A3 we start with strong relationships-when you have that you know when to push & when to let off https://t.co/5BasNm4uod
working with adults is very similar & pretty different than 5 year olds!
I'm so intrigued by maker spaces but haven't had a chance to see one in action.
hmmm I have no comment on that :)
A3 Important to build growth mindset 1st. When everyone believes challenge is necessary for improvement, the game is on!
A3 I think challenging while providing support comes smoothly when you're taking on risks &challenges as a team. Learn together
A3: Following up w/ questions. What did you do? What are you going to do next? How can I help?
A3: Know your staff and build a relationship first. Trust is the ultimate trump card in the challenge game. With it you win!
key is everyone on the bus amazing things happen https://t.co/F9XEHjBFDB

A3 we involve them in projects that will hone their skills more
A3 Peer collaboration within a strong collegial culture encourages risk-taking with both Ts and Ss.
A3: challenging learners is easier than challenging colleagues. I need to learn how to do that too! So much learning to do.
A3 convincing S's to trust me, when I say "You will be successful at this" & honest when they falter, I share my failures
A3: Need to knw our Ss &colleagues. Building relationships is key.Using data, best practices &modeling https://t.co/tII1nwaVOB
I agree with that sentiment!
A3. As Ts step up to being "runners" in this changing time they will embrace the necessary leadership https://t.co/8FwYDxrzwg
, a3, I try to empower others by helping them find what there are great at & work together toward improving, we grow together!
Having people involved in things that target own growth-builds capacity https://t.co/ztU0g0noPG
