Jaison here doing double duty on #blackteacherchat and #HISDAdminChat! Looking forward to welcoming students into campuses tomorrow with my fraternity brothers.
#hisdadminchat Farias first day will be exciting for our staff, parents, and most of all, our students. It is fascinating to see 3 and 4 year olds walk into our school for their first learning experience! There may be lots of criers but it gives us a chance to use our SEL skills
I’m Amanda, AP @Braeburn_HISD. After a summer of packing, moving, unpacking, lots of construction, and plenty of planning, I am so excited to welcome kids to our new (temporary) campus located right next to @WelchWolfPack. #hisdadminchat
A1. Meet students and families and let them know how excited we are that they are @BellaireHigh And meet freshman at lunch and answer their questions! #hisdadminchat

A1: tomorrow I will be as supportive and motivative as I can be to our #DoganScholars and to our Teachers! They deserve to see me in that role!! #HISDAdminChat
A1-Start off by making meaningful relationships with the kids. Find out their likes and dreams. In addition, don’t forget to build relationships with your team! #HISDAdminChat

A1: The most important thing for us to do tomorrow start implementing strong systems and procedures. That way, we will cultivate an environment of purpose driven students, ready to be best in all areas! #HISDAdminChat
Tomorrow is one of the most important days in a new teacher’s life! Each has their individual needs so I’ll have to be PRESENT to better assist them! Our established staff deserves encouraging words as well! #HISDAdminChat
A2: I have my 2 coaches “co-teaching” with the new teachers on tomorrow so they won’t be overwhelmed. We’re supporting veteran teachers by being visible all day long. #helpingwithasmile#HISDAdminChat
A2. This starts with observing with a purpose so that you know where to put your attention. Whatever systems you have in place, monitor them and provide support early! #HISDAdminChat
#HISDAdminChat A1: Building relationships early on is the precursor to a successful learner; therefore, I will start by build relationships with 433 students. One by one.
A2: I will support new teachers by being available and understanding. I will motvate the veterans by providing them reassurance in their abilities. #HISDAdminChat
A1: Definitely checking in with our @Mitchell_Elem newbies & we have some appreciation treats for the week to remind them how much we appreciate their hard work to get our bus rolling! 🚌 #HISDAdminChat
A2: I plan to support new and returning teachers by helping them identify their strengths, building their toolbox to tackle their “growth areas,” and celebrating small victories along the way. I’ll be present, resourceful and supportive to ensure their success. #HISDAdminChat

A2-See what their strengths are and build in that. Give them one sueggestion to work on and follow through with them in the following days. #HISDAdminChat
A2: We’re motivating our team of mostly returning Ts by focusing on how resilient our community has been in wake of Harvey, how we can’t let obstacles get in way of our kids’ learning, and how we have a BEAUTIFUL building coming our way in <2 years. @Build_HISD#hisdadminchat
@menxueiro
A1: Griselda Gonzalez, AP @SHMSTC and I am anxious to meet and greet our new student's and welcome back returning student's!
Mentally I am rehearsing tomorrow's step-by-step events to ease stress on student's.

A2: Allowing teachers the space to stumble and self-correct. Being mindful that everyone starts at a different place, runs at a different pace and brings something special to the race. #HISDAdminChat

A servant leader. What do my students need? What does my community need? What do my teachers need? What does my principal need? I want my leadership to be meaningful! #DoganNation#HISDAdminChat

A3. A REFLECTIVE leader is what I am striving to be! I want to make it a practice to reflect on my work @teainfo this year to grow as a leader for students all across Texas. It is needed as I work with new people and learn new systems. #HISDAdminChat
A2: By being visible and ready to coach, assist and serve at all times...reward excellence when it’s delivered through student achievement #hisdadminchat
A1. The most important thing I’ll do tomorrow is welcome all the students in the morning with a smile and a high five! Help make the first day a positive one #HISDAdminChat

Have a great week!! Please remember to take care of yourself as well. We can’t be there for the kiddos and teachers unless we are here for ourselves first. Be sure to eat, hydrate and take your restroom breaks. Your body needs it! #HISDAdminChat
I'm always too late to join #HISDAdminChat live, however, reading the conversation has been so inspiring and insightful. One day, I'll make it on time!!
