jdeek Mar 9 @ 9:48 PM EST

#txed A2 - You have to model the behavior you want from students. I'm on stage the moment I drive into parking lot. Someone is watching.

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Mar 9 @ 9:49 PM EST

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Mar 9 @ 9:52 PM EST

@PrincipalOgg Clarity is a great word! Too often the vision dies because it was not clearly portrayed/shared. #txed

A2: Share the leadership role. It takes everyone being a leader to exact long lasting positive change. #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Mar 9 @ 9:57 PM EST

A3: This goes back to modeling. You must believe it and you must show it constantly. #txed

oJaison Mar 9 @ 9:57 PM EST

A3: Back up the vision with your actions. Usually that means you'll have to stop doing some things as well. Be intentional. #TXed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Mar 9 @ 9:57 PM EST

A3-Think some have stated communication. We have to talk about our vision and purpose. #TXed

Kirkland_edu Mar 9 @ 9:59 PM EST

@TXEDMod A3: Help everyone understands where the vision comes from. Develop it collaboratively. Be about the vision! #TXed

@Bstamm00 Having fun is something that we tend to forget when the pressure is on. We can't stop making learning fun. #TXed

danperez4ed Mar 9 @ 10:01 PM EST

Make the vision active through baby steps and recognize those implementing the vision so others know you're watching #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Mar 9 @ 10:01 PM EST

A3 I think if you explain the why behind it and it makes sense, there will be more buy-in. #txed
