A1: Not everyone understands that pausing & allowing some silence can be a source of strength in crafting thoughtful responses #admin2b

MrRussoRH Aug 7 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1: we are trained from any early age that silence often is an admission of weakness or inability. Must see the wisdom is silence. #admin2b

CarrieAnnTripp Aug 7 @ 8:06 PM EDT

R_CILR Aug 7 @ 8:07 PM EDT

Late. Hi, all! A1: I think there’s a conditioning that happens that causes ppl to think someone who is silent is being rude. #admin2b

In reply to @MiriamCheuk

mexusmx Aug 7 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: In our hyper connected world full of constant stimulation, silence forces reflection and self-awareness that is uncomfortable. #admin2b

MrRussoRH Aug 7 @ 8:07 PM EDT

Yes! They start September 5!🙌🏼😊👍🏼 #admin2b

In reply to @MiriamCheuk

theaddisonpate Aug 7 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: Insecurity within themselves of what the silence says about them or what it means. Trust, confidence must fill silence. #admin2b

R_CILR Aug 7 @ 8:08 PM EDT

Hi, Todd! That is a great goal for the school year! #admin2b

In reply to @MrRussoRH

BrianDunleavy16 Aug 7 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1 Silence often leads to thinking more about the WHY you are talking. Tough subjects people doing want to think about #admin2b

S_Sissell Aug 7 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1 I think silence is often perceived as negative & at times, we fill it with our own negative thoughts of "what is s/he thinking?" #admin2b

theaddisonpate Aug 7 @ 8:08 PM EDT

Addison, future admin and current teacher in TN. #admin2b

I'm Samantha, a 4th grade teacher and current Ed Leadership student at #ODU! I live in VA. #admin2b

CarrieAnnTripp Aug 7 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1: Silence is uncomfortable to many. Silence is powerful. It answers questions & allows others to think of answers #admin2b

As am ambivert, when I fall to the introveted side some people don't understand bc they see I'm extoveted sometimes. #admin2b

In reply to @MiriamCheuk

CarrieAnnTripp Aug 7 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Many times people on the phone think I hung up on them when I'm simply listening. #admin2b

In reply to @R_CILR, @MiriamCheuk

MrRussoRH Aug 7 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Yes! When we can be calm, solutions and ideas are more apt to surface. #admin2b

In reply to @CarrieAnnTripp

MiriamCheuk - Moderator Aug 7 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A2: There are insights & emotions that you can connect with when 1 is silent. #admin2b

R_CILR Aug 7 @ 8:11 PM EDT

That, too! Face to face is really the best type of convos for very important convos. Too much gets lost without seeing the person. #admin2b

In reply to @CarrieAnnTripp, @MiriamCheuk

theaddisonpate Aug 7 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A2: It allows the mind the process, the heart to settle, and forward momentum to be harnessed. When silence is used properly. #admin2b

BrianDunleavy16 Aug 7 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A2 Silence allows emotions to run their course so that if an emotionally charged response was given both sides can return to normal #admin2b

mexusmx Aug 7 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A2: Silence makes folks aware of their breathing and can calm a tense situation. When we slow down, we think more clearly. #admin2b

MiriamCheuk - Moderator Aug 7 @ 8:12 PM EDT

I'm an ambivert too! I totally get what you are saying! :) #Admin2B

In reply to @MiriamCheuk

CarrieAnnTripp Aug 7 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A2: Silence allows us to reflect before we respond. It shows we're listening to understand rather than to respond. #admin2b

MiriamCheuk - Moderator Aug 7 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Q2: #admin2b

S_Sissell Aug 7 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1-Connecting it to pausing (7 norms of collaboration), kids & adults alike benefit from "wait time" to develop their thoughts #admin2b

MrRussoRH Aug 7 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2: silence is contemplation. Taking in viewpoints and ideas and quieting our autobiographical tendencies allow us room understand. #admin2b

MrRussoRH Aug 7 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Bingo! #Admin2B

R_CILR Aug 7 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: One reason I think silent time is necessary is to recognize what is past/new realities - to sort out the current situation. #admin2b

Brian_Taylor19 Aug 7 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2 Silence is giving the respect that the moment deserves and opens the door for true understanding. #admin2b

I like that notion John...silence can deescalate... #admin2b

In reply to @mexusmx

mexusmx Aug 7 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Right! We are following #Covey and seeking to understand before we expect to be understood. Definitely diffuses a situation #admin2b

Q3: #admin2b

MiriamCheuk - Moderator Aug 7 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A3: The silence of nonparticipation, of passivity, indifference are dangerous ones. #admin2b

CarrieAnnTripp Aug 7 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Really need to read some #Covey. I need a book budget. #admin2b

In reply to @mexusmx

S_Sissell Aug 7 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: it's important b/c it allows us to regulate our emotions through reflection on what was said before impulsively responding #admin2b

jasongriffinhgs Aug 7 @ 8:18 PM EDT

#Admin2B https://t.co/z7RFKhHwIR

CarrieAnnTripp Aug 7 @ 8:19 PM EDT

Q3: Silence masking sinister plans. People planning retaliation instead of working through an issue. #admin2b

theaddisonpate Aug 7 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A3: Voices that have concerns or ideas for improvement who remain silent can be disastrous if they remain silent. #admin2b

BrianDunleavy16 Aug 7 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A3 Silence when answering tough questions is not the way 2 go. You can't ignore problems n hope they go away. Collab n find answers #admin2b

R_CILR Aug 7 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Covey's thoughts are amazing to read and think about. #admin2b

In reply to @CarrieAnnTripp, @mexusmx

CarrieAnnTripp Aug 7 @ 8:20 PM EDT

We'll see how it goes. Might be received w/ silence. #admin2b

In reply to @MrRussoRH

Brian_Taylor19 Aug 7 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A3 Silence based from fear prohibits questions and does not contribute to a valuable learning environment. #Admin2B

MrRussoRH Aug 7 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A3: silence that condones actions and behavior that is hurtful, disrespectful, inappropriate. If we turn our backs on something. #admin2b

MiriamCheuk - Moderator Aug 7 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Definitely! Ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away! #admin2b

In reply to @BrianDunleavy16

S_Sissell Aug 7 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3-Silence that comes from avoiding convos for fear of conflict is NOT healthy. Communication is the foundation of problem solving #admin2b

CarrieAnnTripp Aug 7 @ 8:21 PM EDT

It often feeds the problem. #Admin2B

In reply to @MiriamCheuk, @BrianDunleavy16

MiriamCheuk - Moderator Aug 7 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Q4: #admin2b

mexusmx Aug 7 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3: The silence that infers acceptance of injustice. #admin2b

CarrieAnnTripp Aug 7 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Not many on Twitter yet. Hoping the prizes will help change that! #admin2b

In reply to @MrRussoRH

MiriamCheuk - Moderator Aug 7 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A4: Slowing down in meaningful conversations & letting words sink in. Silence is golden when crafting the best sentences. #admin2b

R_CILR Aug 7 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Even if words aren't spoken, there are still ways, if ppl r willing, to continue the convo in silence-2 say I haven't walked away. #admin2b

In reply to @MiriamCheuk

S_Sissell Aug 7 @ 8:23 PM EDT

I agree! How can we teach our students to be "upstanders" if we are bystanders turning our backs on what we clearly know is wrong? #admin2b

In reply to @MrRussoRH

CarrieAnnTripp Aug 7 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A4: I use silence to give others a voice. Allow them to be empowered. Seek to hear hearts in the silence. #admin2b

MiriamCheuk - Moderator Aug 7 @ 8:24 PM EDT

Silence allows u to scan our heads & hearts for ground truths. #admin2b

theaddisonpate Aug 7 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A4: Take my time to listen, listen, listen and let answers come organically rather than forcing them in the moment. #admin2b

BrianDunleavy16 Aug 7 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A4 Putting Silence in when having tough convos with Ss after addressing the issue to give them time to process and learn from it #admin2b

mexusmx Aug 7 @ 8:25 PM EDT

Even if the answer is, "I am not sure. Let me get back to you." Obviously this only works until the day you don't get back to them! #admin2b

In reply to @BrianDunleavy16, @MiriamCheuk

R_CILR Aug 7 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A4: In a current fierce conversation, I'm respecting the other person's silence because I trust the other person. #admin2b

CarrieAnnTripp Aug 7 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Too often we respond too quickly. Forget the power of the pause. #admin2b

In reply to @BrianDunleavy16

MrRussoRH Aug 7 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A4: be present, be quiet , be in rapport, live the moment...so much that it is palpable. #admin2b

R_CILR Aug 7 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A4: In a current fierce conversation...I'm respecting the other person's silence because I trust the other person. #admin2b #admin2b

MiriamCheuk - Moderator Aug 7 @ 8:28 PM EDT

Reflection question you don't have to answer it aloud. #admin2b

Brian_Taylor19 Aug 7 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A4 Using Silence to help me slow down fierce conversations. Showing caring for what is being said and provide me time to understand #Admin2B

mexusmx Aug 7 @ 8:29 PM EDT

We know that it's sound pedagogy 2 give Ss time 2 think & not reward speed over depth. Why don't we apply the same to our convos? #admin2B

In reply to @CarrieAnnTripp, @BrianDunleavy16

MiriamCheuk - Moderator Aug 7 @ 8:30 PM EDT

Thank you for joining us tonight! #admin2b Next week, new topic! :)

MrRussoRH Aug 7 @ 8:30 PM EDT

Reflection: that I need to be more mindful of me...and to sit and be quiet for me to help me help others. #admin2b

theaddisonpate Aug 7 @ 8:30 PM EDT

RQ: Yeeesh, just had to go hardcore there didn't you. #admin2b

Thanks all for the awesome chat! See everyone next week! Thanks @MiriamCheuk and @MrRussoRH #admin2b

R_CILR Aug 7 @ 8:33 PM EDT

Reflection: When I sit in silence I am aware of my true thoughts/feellings and I am better able to recognize/ignore my fears. #admin2b

MrRussoRH Aug 7 @ 8:34 PM EDT

Thanks @MiriamCheuk & all our #admin2b friends for an amazing time the past 2 months discussing "Fierce Conversations". Go forth-be fierce!
