Join in the #HISDAdminChat conversation each Sunday night at 6pm CST as we discuss the challenges we face and the successes we celebrate while learning and leading as an HISD Administrator.
Happy Sunday evening everyone! It’s Errica, representing #ThatNation and this summer I plan to travel to LA, Atlanta and San Antonio...May add to the list later 😊 #HISDAdminChat
A1) All of the books I’ve ordered lol but also this recent one which just arrived. It’s the 2nd edition of “Reaching & Teaching Students in Poverty: Strategies for Erasing the Opportunity Gap” by
@pgorski#HISDAdminChat
A2) I'd like to blog everyday. I know most will remain in the draft folder but the practice of reflection via writing is what I'm striving for right now. #HISDAdminChat
A2. Working out! Consistency is key! Our work can be very draining. It can drain you emotionally & physically, so working out for me a great relief! #HISDAdminChat
Question 2: I want to walk just for fun. Not to race to another crisis, just to walk. Perhaps stroll is a better word. I want to learn to stroll. #HISDAdminChat
A3: Use this time to RECHARGE and take care of yourself. You’ve earned it. No matter what, our kids will be back in August, and we need to be rested and ready for them. #HISDAdminChat
For me the trick was just realizing that I don’t have to perfectly follow “the bullet journal system.” I made some modifications—like giving myself lots more space for daily logs—that made it work for me. #bulletjournal#HISDAdminChat
Enjoy your time off, rekindle that passion that brought you into education, and PLEASE reach out throughout the summer if you’d like 😊 #EagerBeaverLover#HISDAdminChat
A3: REST... and if your coming back to #DoganNation next year...take your vitamins; it’s going to be a task to duplicate the wonderful things you accomplished this year! #DoganProud#HISDAdminChat
Q3: The last thing I will tell each of my staff as they leave is to have fun, safe travels, rest easy, and refill your bucket every day. And, i will miss them and look forward to Seeing them again at summer’s end. #HISDAdminChat
A3) We've accomplished incredible things this year as a unit, & as hard as we are on ourselves we can't forget to celebrate even the smallest of victories! No state can take away the growth our children have shown us & others. This summer we'll reflect & recharge! #HISDAdminChat
A3. Be like @KingJames! When people start being negative Nancys...@Elrod_HISD we #letlovelead & next year it’s going to be magnified! Get READY! In my TD Jakes voice! 💜 Enjoy your break, you’re going to need it! The best is yet to come! #hisdadminchat
Huge thanks to you @texasbuckeye and @menxueiro! This chat has introduced me to some great leaders and I have learned a lot; more than any one institution can give me. Speaking of...you guys offer a Masters program yet??? #hisdadminchat
I wasn’t able to make #HISDAdminChat due to bowling 🎳 but I wish everyone a great summer! Get some rest, have fun, and continue to lead and learn. I cannot wait until the 2018-2019 school year...however, I will see you all soon :) Special thanks to @texasbuckeye and @menxueiro.
