Ryan, author of #BeTheOne For Kids and elementary Principal, excited to co-moderate this chat. Looking forward to learning from all of you tonight! I enjoy sitting in my hot tub at night. #PIAChat
What's happening #PIAchat. Eric from Kansas ready for some good collaboration tonight!! If it wasn't for education, sports broadcasting would be an awesome career.
Hello everyone - feeling super inspired by #Msaachat with @BethHouf and an amazing crew!
Excited to keep it going with #PIAChat - Jordan, K-4 principal from MA here.
A1. I love that we as teachers don't need to know everything. When given the opportunity students are driven to problem solve and then teach to others. #PIAChat
Curt Slater proud team of the member of the amazing @Wyomingwildcats team in MN. Had a great #bowtietuesday and have loved the #PIAChat challenge this week.
A1 It’s not a cop out to say everything. I love the unbridled joy in their eyes. I love their stories at lunch. I love seeing them be themselves. #piachat
Hi everyone, Shayna from Northern CA, Elementary school principal, if I wasn’t in education I wanted to be a news reporter (when I was 6 years old) #piachat
A1 I love that our students come back to school every day regardless of circumstances. They just want to be loved, and we need to love them up every day! #PIAChat
A1: So much. I love their charisma, resiliency, laughs, smiles, determination. How much they care about others and how they inspire me to be a better person everyday. #PIAChat
A1: I absolutely love the potential all my students have as middle schoolers. I'm so proud when they surprise themselves over the influence they have over their school environment and choices #piachat
I would have loved to have written and drawn my own comics ... first job was in a comic book store and comics were the catalyst for my love of reading #piachat
A1) I love that they are my students. They are the most prized possessions that parents bestow upon me each and every day. What more could I ask for? #PIAChat
A1 I love that our students come back to school every day regardless of circumstances. They just want to be loved, and we need to love them up every day! #PIAChat
Hi #piachat & #principalsinaction friends! I’m Kas, a Lead Learner in OK! And I would have been (and might still be) a photographer of sunrises and sunsets!
A1) I love how our students show up with so much we don't know about them, but when you take the time to build relationships with them they will do anything for you!! #PIAchat
A1: I love my Ss for so many reasons, but I mostly love them because they want to be loved. They come to school eager to a part of our school and want relationships with every adult. It's inspriring considering some of their challenges #PIAChat
A1: I love that even at the middle school level kids still are willing to take risks and eager to have experienced where they can begin impacting the world;) #PIAChat
A1. I love the potential and pliability within each of our students. I love their spirit, I love their energy, I love watching their growth as learners and humans. #PIAchat
A2: I love their smiles, their laughter, their pursuit of learning and fun, their dancing and their honesty... students make any hard day better!! #PIAChat
A1- absolutely EVERYTHING! They are risk takers, honest, creative and quirky. Unbarring freedom to explore, and their acceptance of others...willingness to smile and forgive. They teach me a lot. ❤️ #PIAChat
A1: My "students" are some of the most inspiring principals I've met. I'm honored to work with them and I'm constantly learning from them each week #piachat
Hey, hey, hey #piachat#LeadLearner@KirkElementary jumping in late... had to show some love to my boys at home... I'd be a florist for sure... I put fresh flowers on my desk every single Monday.... makes me happy, great conversation starters too.
A1: Students at @StationMS220 also created their own hashtag this year #StationNation for teachers to share their story on our social media sites! #PIAChat
I couldn't agree more with you! @casas_jimmy challenged all principals that attended #mespamn to ask students questions about what they like about their school and principal and don't be afraid of what they might say! #PIAChat
We never really know what the kid has been through since last we have seen them. Empathy and understanding are parts of a trauma informed school. #PIAchat
A2. I love that my staff will adjust to whatever our students need. Adjusting on the fly to student needs shows how much they love their students. #PIAChat
A1 Their willingness to look out for one another. There’s been so many times when a student has walked up to another student who was upset just to check on them. Like family. #piachat
A1: I would say their ability to make anything fun. It’s great to see students light up when they really get into a lesson or activity and take ownership. #PIAchat
A2: I love how creative my staff is. My teachers are willing to take risks and try new things; I have learned from them. My staff has made me a better leader #piachat
A2) I love that my staff are problem-solvers, they tackle tough issue with a can-do attitude. It is a pleasure to work with and alongside them. #PIAchat
A2: Easy. Their willingness to step outside of the traditional mindset about discipline and apply their learning from our Trauma informed trainings. They have really learned to dig deep behind the behavior to find the root cause and help their Ss be successful. #piachat
A1 What I love about our Ss @KirkElementary is their sense of wonder, they are thirsty for knowledge... unfortunately sometimes we are the ones who dim their flames rather than ignite them because we're too afraid to let go of control! #piachat
A2 I love that my staff is relentless is advocating for their students. They are committed to leaving no child behind and do so with a smile on their faces! #PIAChat
A2) This past week, I was out of the building for three days attending #mespamn Institute 2018 and the @JeffersonSTEM staff did a FANTASTIC job of working together and making the sub principal feel part of the staff. I couldn't be more proud of them! #piachat#proudprincipal
A2: The #d83spartans staff love our kids & know that they are the biggest drivers in helping students reach their potential. #PIAchat And they make coming to work awesome!
A2: I've got an awesome staff, I love how they are always brainstorming about how they can reach a kid, not what consequence I am going to give the kid!! #PIAchat
A2 My staff puts in overtime! They go above and beyond the call of duty! No challenge is too big and they seize every opportunity to rise above all obstacles! #PIAChat
A2: Our staff is the best! They love kids. They give extra all the time. They are collaborators. They always say yes to the hard things for the right reasons! I am blessed! #PIAChat
A2: Love that I put a puzzle in the staff room 2 weeks ago and all sorts of new combinations of staff worked together to finish it and have already made plans to bring in a new one! #PIAchat

A2: our staff is small but mighty! We sometimes have to wear many different hats (sometimes more than one at a time) but we keep kids first no matter what! And we have fun! #piachat
A2- Their Grit and determination to constantly take risks to benefit their children. They are so caring and want more than just academically successful students...they want them to be successful in life. #PIAChat
A2: I love my staff members’ passion for kids & families! They truly love & care about every single student we serve & the kids know it! I love their eagerness to take risks & learn! They inspire me to take risks & be the absolute best AP I can be for our school! #PIAChat

A2: I love that they willingly model what they expect from our students and don't shy away from taking risks! We are family and support one another. #piachat
A2) My staff embraces dissonance and change to serve our scholars. We are working on creating strong collaborative teams not just in words but by our actions. Our teams learn together, succeed together, fail together, learn together, and grow together. #PumasRoar#PIAChat
A2: I love the passion our staff brings every day, their willingness to take risks and try new things, how hard they work, the relationships they build with students, parents and each other, their positivity and how they always consider #WB4K#WestCarthageES rocks! #piachat
A2 So much. They care deeply about one another, they are willing to listen and try new things, and they are gracious enough to put up with my incessant questioning. #piachat
A2: They are a group of individuals who are out to discover and conquer the world! They love challenges but understand the true work is sometimes the hardest part of their journey and yet they push through. #PIAChat#momsasprincipals
