A4 Admins often have to look at the big picture- teachers can hone in more and see where there are opportunities for change #divergED

@dr_helgeson i agree! teachers might be able to see more opportunities for change but need admin support to make those changes #divergED

Q3: How can schools support teacher leadership? #divergED

Miles_Hendo Mar 1 @ 8:26 PM EST

#divergED A4: Ts are more in-tune with Ss' needs! They see it daily and mold their routines around what their Ss require.

mgrosstaylor Mar 1 @ 8:26 PM EST

A4: Ts have a boots on the ground perspective & can sometimes better anticipate challenges of change. #divergED https://t.co/ZYcqiqOnWW

mjcraw Mar 1 @ 8:26 PM EST

A4: the vantage point of Ts enables them to see and feel reality differently, more accurately, making T-driven change more 'valid' #divergED

MindyEssex Mar 1 @ 8:26 PM EST

MrRandallEdS Mar 1 @ 8:27 PM EST

#divergED A4: Ts have a different relationship w/ Ts and Ss that allow for a risk free environment to promote change... Plus peer pressure!

VeliaViola1 Mar 1 @ 8:27 PM EST

@SeanAThom Absolutely! Ts are front line, know in depth what works, use their capacity to build, lead and improve culture #divergEd

calliembush Mar 1 @ 8:27 PM EST

@mrperrysPLN Just stumbled onto #divergED myself. Trying to determine what it's about. Like what I see so far.

SeanAThom Mar 1 @ 8:27 PM EST

A4: Ts know what does & does not work for their Ss. Let change happen on classroom basis & let that change permeate thru school. #divergED

mjjohnson1216 Mar 1 @ 8:28 PM EST

Both Ts and Admin can invite others on a journey - who doesn't LOVE going on a journey? #divergED https://t.co/zflau31l3L

snydesn2 Mar 1 @ 8:28 PM EST

#divergED A4 I don't think I would say better equipped but rather true change requires a coordinated and collaborative effort.

SeanAThom Mar 1 @ 8:28 PM EST

@VeliaViola1 I always say that culture change starts with the Ss & Ts. You can do whatever you can, but you better listen to them! #divergED

JenLoTeacher Mar 1 @ 8:28 PM EST
