Our chat will focus on the idea that we can lead and make positive change from any position in our school systems. Leadership is not about a title, it is a way of thinking and acting.
It’s a shared effort. We must listen to students as well as educators for ideas. Educators can give so many ideas! How do we know the students will like those ideas? That’s where you MUST ASK THEM! #jaskthem@RebeccaCoda@RickJetter#leadlap Ask the students as well!
Powerful question this morning! @Jeff_Zoul you are amazing. Woo hoo! I’m fired up for the rest of this chat! #leadlap Good choice for host as always @BethHouf@burgess_shelley
Educators can have as many meetings as they want. If they aren’t asking students what ideas they think would be beneficial or help them ~ meetings mean NOTHING!! #jaskthem#leadlap@RickJetter@RebeccaCoda

Every leader should have courage... courage to be transparent, change, grow self and staff, be real, to see beyond the current, to let teachers lead, listen, say you don't have all the answers but are growing together....
In personal expirence - pushing awesome leadership efforts that are turned down by administrators! We are ready for change... but there is still a block in the tracks!? Hmmm #leadlap
By taking them under your wing! I see so many Ts have to find their own “way around”. No more!! We must take them and treat them like we’ve known them for YEARS! #leadlap would you want to be clueless about the culture? NO!

a5) #leadlap I help my new teachers understand the culture of our school by providing a mentor, assuring they have a role in some capacity within the vertical bands, flipped staff meetings called Weekly Wise Google doc that is all inclusive, promotional and growth oriented...
a3) #LeadLAP Greatest ideas come from LISTENING to my staff...when I creatively build collaborative 90 min weekly during the day vertical planning...they HAVE TIME to truly PLAN!!
Would you like to know more about my Weekly Wise? Message your email, and I'll share it with you. I share it weekly with all stakeholders including my governance team, board member, and superintendent. It keeps everyone on the same page and moving forward! #leadlap
a7) #leadlap For an admin going into leadership for the first time, I tell them to NEVER FORGET THE CLASSROOM. You are ALWAYS a teacher... you are becoming the teacher of teachers...lead learner... listen and always stay on the same page with your principal.
