  • Noellerson Feb 6 @ 8:02 PM EST
    Q1: #SuptChat #NCE19 I look at all these questions thru the advocacy lens, and w/o hesitation, we need our supts to engage in advocacy if we want wins on the hill. Supt advocacy carries a lot of weight with Congress, and we urge all supts to weigh in!

    In reply to @stacy_baudoin
  • jennifer_bova Feb 6 @ 8:03 PM EST
    A1: Effective leaders inspire others to do and be better. When you treat people with respect and dignity, they will want to support you and the organization. This is the difference between leading people with respect vs. leading people through fear. #suptchat
  • Dr_Chap_JISD Feb 6 @ 8:03 PM EST
    Q1: As Supt's we are responsible for leading our districts, campuses, staff, and ultimately our students to success. We set the tone and guide the work being done to meet the vision and mission set forth in our districts. Simply, it is our job to create success. #suptchat #NCE19

  • rmcarlo Feb 6 @ 8:03 PM EST

  • Dan_Cox Feb 6 @ 8:03 PM EST
    A1: Effective leaders set the tone for a culture & climate that promotes vision toward a common goal. When one is successful, all are successful. #SuptChat
  • DominicManola Feb 6 @ 8:03 PM EST
    A1: To me, effective leadership creates success by empowering stakeholders to take chances, develop as leaders and change agents, and by creating a culture where people feel supported in bringing forth their ideas & taking risks. This is when growth happens! #SuptChat

  • Rockshot_Joelle Feb 6 @ 8:05 PM EST
    A1: I like to look at this question in reverse. When I see a successful district, I look to the leadership. What are they doing to make the district successful? Rarely do I notice a leader without noticing the district first. #suptchat #NCE19
  • jonbartelt Feb 6 @ 8:05 PM EST
    Jon Bartelt, Supt, THE Bloomingdale SD 13, and I'm reading The Big Fella by Jane Leavy #suptchat

  • AASADan Feb 6 @ 8:06 PM EST
    AASA Executive Director Dan Domenech joining. A1: Effective leadership in education means creating meaningful change for the schools, students and communities we serve #suptchat
  • _rlamkin Feb 6 @ 8:06 PM EST
    #suptchat Q1. Leaders are the catalyst for creating a culture for success in their organization. Our organization can only grow to point of the leader’s growth, influence, knowledge level, leadership qualities and willing to motivate other to higher levels of achievement.
  • Joe_Sanfelippo Feb 6 @ 8:06 PM EST
    A1: We get what we model. Effective...or ineffective leadership will show through in every area of the organization. #SuptChat
  • mikelubelfeld - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:06 PM EST
    Good evening Dan, it's always great to see you at #suptchat, we're looking forward to reconnecting next week!

    Brian, Supt In Western Springs 101 (IL). Currently reading Atomic Habits by @JamesClear #suptchat
  • Noellerson Feb 6 @ 8:07 PM EST
    Q2 #SuptChat #NCE19 100% agree. Things (at the fed policy level!) ONLY get better because we make them better. B/c we tell our story, b/c we help Congress understand how their policies impact schools, b/c we help illustrate the impact on schools and students.
  • npolyak - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:07 PM EST
    Q2: How does this quote from keynote speaker Susan Rice apply to public education today? #SuptChat #NCE19
  • twallace9424 Feb 6 @ 8:07 PM EST
    A2: We have to embody a relentless pursuit of kaizen, continuous improvement, not necessarily change, but improvement where it is needed and benefits students. We have to learn to embrace risks and failures because we believe we are making things better for kids. #SuptChat #NCE19
  • DrAmyCarter Feb 6 @ 8:07 PM EST

    Truth! Words of wisdom from the great Sanfelippo! #sd113a #suptchat @AASAHQ
    • Joe_Sanfelippo Feb 6 @ 8:06 PM EST
      A1: We get what we model. Effective...or ineffective leadership will show through in every area of the organization. #SuptChat
  • wagnernancy Feb 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A2: We need to do things differently, take risks, listen to those most impacted and grab those opportunities in order to make progress for successful learning. #suptchat #NCE19
  • paddlingsupt Feb 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A2: Too many school and district leaders will not take risks and therefore allow the status quo to prevail. #suptchat
  • Dan_Cox Feb 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A2: There are always external forces at play in education. When a goal is reached we can't become comfortable w/ the new status quo. Instead we must forge ahead on a path of continuous improvement. #SuptChat
  • Noellerson Feb 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    Not #SuptChat specific, but def good for #NCE19: Join us for a fun run on Fri Feb 15 with @Nov_Project_LAX. Details on the blog. Let's have a #SuptTakeover! https://t.co/j56N1EtY9G
  • rmcarlo Feb 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    Q2: The one constant is change. Only in staying the same for the sake of same do you not get better. You have to be willing to take a risk and challenge yourself and others. #suptchat
  • jennifer_bova Feb 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A2: It is easy to get comfortable where we then find ourselves in a passive situation or role. People can be scared of change, but when we embrace the change and the outcomes that follow, a great deal of good can transpire. #suptchat
  • mikelubelfeld - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    This month's #suptchat just started, it's never too late to join us - see the questions as we focus on @AASAHQ #NCE19 #LeadersMatter Link to Questions: https://t.co/fqp5IzIGCm
  • mikelubelfeld - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A2 #suptchat This quote (shown in image) from Susan Rice applies to public education in many ways - Human Agency - people, students, teachers - with VOICE - essential to work together - don't get comfortable, complacent or lazy - keep the fire in the belly burning for improvement
  • jonbartelt Feb 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A1: It's your commitment to further the growth of your community by ethically and collaboratively delivering high quality learning experiences for children through the empowerment of adults. #suptchat
  • Dale_Chu Feb 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A2: Change is inevitable. Progress is not. #suptchat #NCE19
    In reply to @npolyak
  • Rockshot_Joelle Feb 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A2: We can't educate kids like we did 50 or 10 years ago, or even 50 or 10 days ago. We must always be moving the needle forward. #suptchat #NCE19
  • NLSD_Supt Feb 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A2: For me, this quote means we must look to stretch ourselves/districts and what we believe to be our limitations. Take chances and #FailForward. Sometimes improvements happen over time and sometimes via big breakthroughs, both ways require effort. #SuptChat
  • stacy_baudoin Feb 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A2: Public education is being threatened today by school choice. Competition among schools is a new way of thinking for public educators. #suptchat
  • AASAHQ Feb 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A2: We have a huge potential as educators to create opportunities for our students, our future. While there's room for us to take risks and fail, we must always fail forward. #suptchat
  • npolyak - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A2: We need to be an educational community of risk-takers. This is the only way we will evolve to meet the changing needs of our students. #suptchat
  • _rlamkin Feb 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    #suptchat Q2. The quote is very relevant in today’s education arena. Leaders today are faced with different needs and request from similar stakeholder from years past.
  • MichelleHetro Feb 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A1: effective leadership FINDS leadership in others which creates success #suptchat
  • Joe_Sanfelippo Feb 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A2: How much time are we spending on content creation vs content regurgitation? Kids who create stay engaged. #suptchat
  • drorzel Feb 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A2: We cannot afford to do what we've always done- unless we know it works. Otherwise, we are missing opportunities to learn, grow and take risks to be better and learn from others- we have to take the risk and learn from our mistakes to grow and be better! #suptchat
  • dpalzet Feb 6 @ 8:10 PM EST
    A2: Progress favors the bold... We need to take risks in the best interest of our students, staff, and families. If we follow a model of continuous improvment and cultivate others' talents we will succeed. #SuptChat
  • Joe_Sanfelippo Feb 6 @ 8:10 PM EST
    What’s happening my friend?!?!? Wish I could be with the #Suptchat crew tonight!

    Q3: This is the 5th anniversary of the NCE Social Media Lounge, in what ways has social media made your leadership more effective? #SuptChat #NCE19
  • Noellerson Feb 6 @ 8:12 PM EST
    Q3 #SuptChat #NCE19 Social media (specifically twitter!) has transformed not only the volume and content I consume (skewed toward education, but news in general, too) AND has provided another vehicle by which I can connect with @AASAHQ members.
  • EScottEngland Feb 6 @ 8:12 PM EST

  • Dr_Chap_JISD Feb 6 @ 8:13 PM EST

    A8: You can truly learn from the best of the best in the nation. A rare opportunity. It raises the dialogue about what we should be focusing our energy on in schools. I attended @NSPRA twice recently and hope to make it to @AASAHQ real soon! #suptchat #NCE19

    A8) What I’m looking forward to most in LA this year is reuniting with all of my colleagues from coast to coast. Once a Superintendent is always a Superintendent— we have the opportunity to get off our islands and see how others are helping their districts move onward. #suptchat

    We learn from the positives, the pitfalls, and everything else in between. Not to sound cliche, but it’s a job where if you don’t walk in our shoes, it could be hard to understand some of the challenges. When we unite, our learning is limitless. #Suptchat #nce19
