Most people are on teams that meet weekly. Mine didn't, and that was a bummer. #OrEdChat

A1: One way is with #gamification It really encourages teamwork, goal setting, common purpose and endgame #OrEdChat

In reply to @ManionJulie

KathiSueSummers Jun 4 @ 11:35 PM EDT

A1. If teams, ea member has a duty they are responsible for completing and sharing out. #OrEdChat

MsLaurenMertz Jun 4 @ 11:35 PM EDT

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:36 PM EDT

My team meets 2x a month but for almost no reason #oredchat

MsLaurenMertz Jun 4 @ 11:37 PM EDT

Yikes! Hope you're feeling better. #OrEdChat

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:37 PM EDT

My school wide team is very effective, always vetting each others ideas. #oredchat

jkjohnsonbell Jun 4 @ 11:37 PM EDT

A1: When I work with teams, our purpose is almost always based needs of students and ways teachers can improve their practice. #OrEdChat

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:38 PM EDT

Here is question 2 #oredchat

SteinbrinkLaura Jun 4 @ 11:38 PM EDT

A1: Our teams meet weekly , and I needed these chapters to help me guide them. ❤️ the gamification idea. #OrEdChat

ChristinaAronen Jun 4 @ 11:39 PM EDT

A1: Ts at our school are each assigned to at least two committees. Some meet when needed, others meet weekly. #oredchat

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:34 PM EDT

Here is question 1 #OREdChat

KathiSueSummers Jun 4 @ 11:39 PM EDT

A2: Routine practices established early and we reinforce the norms on a regular basis. #OrEdChat

hmarrs24 - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:40 PM EDT

A2: Plan ahead, each person has a job/something to add to the team, establish and practice expectations, accountability #OrEdChat

In reply to @ManionJulie

jkjohnsonbell Jun 4 @ 11:40 PM EDT

A2: We set norms and review them for each meeting. Agendas are often in Google Docs so we can all see and add to the notes. #OrEdChat

lenbryan25 Jun 4 @ 11:40 PM EDT

A1: teams, whether made up of students or teachers, must have clear guidelines, expectations, and accountability to members. #oredchat

SteinbrinkLaura Jun 4 @ 11:40 PM EDT

A2: We also run through established norms, and sometimes we are effective at reinforcing them.#OrEdChat

MsLaurenMertz Jun 4 @ 11:40 PM EDT

A2: Just finished with a team where I failed (opportunity to grow) to be clear with delegating. It was frustrating. #OrEdChat

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:38 PM EDT

Here is question 2 #oredchat

hmarrs24 - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:41 PM EDT

Way to have a growth mindset! Acknowledging the opportunity to grow is the first step! #OrEdChat

In reply to @MsLaurenMertz

MsLaurenMertz Jun 4 @ 11:42 PM EDT

A2: Agendas that are set and followed seem to help. #Oredchat

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:42 PM EDT

ok. question 3 #oredchat

LeachTeach4 Jun 4 @ 11:42 PM EDT

#oredchat A2: My team needs to revisit norms and do some goal setting...

jkjohnsonbell Jun 4 @ 11:43 PM EDT

That can be frustrating! Sometimes delegating doesn't work because of matching task to the right person or due to task confusion. #OrEdChat

In reply to @MsLaurenMertz

ChristinaAronen Jun 4 @ 11:43 PM EDT

A2: Teams work well w a strong leader that manages tangents while following purposeful agenda to ensure objective is met. #oredchat

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:38 PM EDT

Here is question 2 #oredchat

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:43 PM EDT

A2 rubrics and must do list for kiddos. #oredchat

MsLaurenMertz Jun 4 @ 11:44 PM EDT

I liked the part in the book where they suggested developing a respectful way of calling out when norms aren't being followed. #OrEdchat

In reply to @SteinbrinkLaura

hmarrs24 - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:44 PM EDT

A3:Create an atmosphere where all voices r heard & valued, not just the loudest then Narrow options, find research/data to support #OrEdChat

KathiSueSummers Jun 4 @ 11:44 PM EDT

A3: Make sure you guide and ask the right questions that help the members of the team think. #OrEdChat

LeachTeach4 Jun 4 @ 11:45 PM EDT

#oredchat A3...working on this...sometimes the best ideas are as we're walking out the door...

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:45 PM EDT

A3. Goal setting meetings with individual students go a long way modeling how to use data, information effectively #oredchat

MsLaurenMertz Jun 4 @ 11:45 PM EDT

A3: Allowing team members to have access to the data in order to research and bring ideas to the table is helpful to me. #OrEdChat

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:42 PM EDT

ok. question 3 #oredchat

hmarrs24 - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:45 PM EDT

Or in bed....or in the shower.... ;) #OrEdChat

In reply to @LeachTeach4

SteinbrinkLaura Jun 4 @ 11:45 PM EDT

A3: Easier done with Ss than Ts. I can give Ss/Ts guidelines and tasks, but I can't always get the Ts to not compete for loudest.#OrEdChat

DebbieHurtado Jun 4 @ 11:46 PM EDT

I think #oredchat and #caedchat might have overlapped!

In reply to @ManionJulie

jkjohnsonbell Jun 4 @ 11:46 PM EDT

A3: Valuing and expecting all voices in decisions. Providing data/research/etc. can help. #OrEdChat

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:46 PM EDT

I will have to look at me notifications later-slowing me down #oredchat

SteinbrinkLaura Jun 4 @ 11:46 PM EDT

Me too. Wish I had been reading this earlier. #OREdChat

In reply to @MsLaurenMertz

SteinbrinkLaura Jun 4 @ 11:47 PM EDT

For sure the 10 tips! #OrEdChat

In reply to @LeachTeach4, @MsLaurenMertz

jkjohnsonbell Jun 4 @ 11:47 PM EDT

We're talking about #LeadLAP at #OrEdChat.

In reply to @DebbieHurtado, @ManionJulie

MsLaurenMertz Jun 4 @ 11:48 PM EDT

I'm on a team where we're great at establishing norms, but they aren't followed. #frustrating #OrEdChat

In reply to @LeachTeach4, @SteinbrinkLaura

ChristinaAronen Jun 4 @ 11:48 PM EDT

A3: Always ask for each Ts input to be documented. Later, if it happens often, I approach the louder one to discuss their tactics. #oredchat

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:42 PM EDT

ok. question 3 #oredchat

SteinbrinkLaura Jun 4 @ 11:49 PM EDT

#OrEdChat

In reply to @MsLaurenMertz, @LeachTeach4

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:49 PM EDT

So how do we? Question 4 #oredchat

MsLaurenMertz Jun 4 @ 11:50 PM EDT

What do you think would be respectful ways to "call out" when norms aren't being followed? #OrEdChat

In reply to @LeachTeach4, @SteinbrinkLaura

KathiSueSummers Jun 4 @ 11:50 PM EDT

A4: It is all in how you listen. You need to be the one doing less talking. #OrEdChat

hmarrs24 - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:51 PM EDT

A4:I try to give Ss as much voice as possible #gamification helps with this, workshops, offering menus for projects, anytime I can #OrEdChat

SteinbrinkLaura Jun 4 @ 11:51 PM EDT

That's tough and one I am working on. My team was a bit dysfunctional, and maybe I just need to utilize their talents more. #OrEdChat

In reply to @MsLaurenMertz, @LeachTeach4

jkjohnsonbell Jun 4 @ 11:51 PM EDT

A4: Choose when you are making a collaborative decision and when you are sharing a mandate - choose carefully. #OrEdChat

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:52 PM EDT

A4. I struggle with this. work hard to listen to responses without preconceived ideas about how a staff mate will likely answer. #oredchat

ChristinaAronen Jun 4 @ 11:53 PM EDT

A4: We created an accountability/leadership team that Ts go to about any issue. Team designs 2-4 solutions & presents to admin. #oredchat.

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:49 PM EDT

So how do we? Question 4 #oredchat

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:53 PM EDT

A4. I try to give my students every opportunity possible to be the decision makers but this year I have the “what if. . .” crew. #oredchat

SteinbrinkLaura Jun 4 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A4: Definitely give Ss voice as often as I can. Thought I was w/my team too, but maybe I need to be firm on the norms & listen. #OrEdChat

ChristinaAronen Jun 4 @ 11:55 PM EDT

That is awesome, as most T's don't give that much freedom. Perhaps present a modeled decision making using their what if's. #oredchat

In reply to @ManionJulie

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:57 PM EDT

A5. First, know yourself and your expectations. Then set those parameters firmly before you ask work to begin.#oredchat

KathiSueSummers Jun 4 @ 11:58 PM EDT

A5 team collaboration. Every voice needs to be part of the plan no matter what the decision. Sometimes we have to fail to succeed. #OrEdChat

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:55 PM EDT

question 5

hmarrs24 - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:59 PM EDT

#OrEdChat

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:55 PM EDT

question 5

SteinbrinkLaura Jun 4 @ 11:59 PM EDT

This is my answer too! Well said! #OREdChat

In reply to @KathiSueSummers

jkjohnsonbell Jun 4 @ 11:59 PM EDT

A5: Celebrate efforts of our teams - not just success - just like with our students! #OrEdChat

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:59 PM EDT

It's scary to let someone else make decisions you will judged on have to assess each member individually #oredchat.
