JenLoTeacher Mar 22 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@Phippsb53 Critical piece! #divergED

TeachDB17 Mar 22 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A3. Celebrate risk taking! Be empathic! Knowing that risk taking is hard, encourage it. Show how it impacts Ss. #divergED

jacq_mccarthy Mar 22 @ 8:19 PM EDT

Absolutely! Great advice! #divergED https://t.co/9j2eQbVY3K

robpennington9 Mar 22 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2. Colleagues can push each other to grow, take risks and collaborate. Everything starts with trust. #divergED https://t.co/DFDPuguBoY

A2: Our to-do lists are way too long to not plan and work together. It makes such a huge difference to collaborate with engaged ts #divergED

@JenLoTeacher @WeberEducation A2 #DivergEd Jen- positive people attract POS people- neg. people attract neg people- all about choice!

@SeanAThom Agreed! Your door may be closed while you teach, but is it closed while you plan? Closed doors = hurts a school! #DivergEd

A3: You need to walk the walk...as a site leader, show how you take risks...share your triumphs as well as your stumbles! #divergED

MrFreadosClass Mar 22 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A3: Starts with support and encouragement from admin but in truth probably scales by experience. Evals/contracts are constraints #divergED

SeanAThom Mar 22 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A3: Must start from the top! Admins must show staff that failure is ok. Own your mistakes, share your failures, AND your growth! #divergED

jazzmeister2013 Mar 22 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@nalang1 Yes! Proactive over reactive! Not following the trend, but setting the trend. #divergED

LittleMrsLeader Mar 22 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A3 Leaders need to model risk taking and publicly support Ts who are innovating, striving to get better. #diverged

A3: Easy. We admit we don't have all the answers, just plenty of questions to propel curiosity toward another day of learning. #divergED

A3 Empower teachers as risk takers & support, reflect, retool, then repeat. Similar to engineer design cycle. Be by each other. #divergED

sandeeteach Mar 22 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3 When I'm teaching tech etc. to Ts I purposely make mistakes (usually don't have to try hard) lessons don't have to be perfect #divergED
