The National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) is starting a new #prinleaderchat every Sunday at 9:00 pm EST. We will be starting this Sunday October 2. Our schedule is listed on this google spreadsheet https://goo.gl/SI9LVo.
Key priorities are to collaborate around a shared vision, maintain clear and consistent communication, and remember to empatize...because we’re all human. #PrinLeaderChat
A1: Communicate - communicate - communicate! Keep them informed of the great things going on and also the areas where you may need assistance! Don't let anything be a surprise! #PrinLeaderChat

A1 Partner with your superiors. Share the joy of your work with them. Acknowledge and celebrate their support. No magic happens alone in the silo. #prinleaderchat
A1: Ask for clarity in expectations. Showcase work that aligns with those expectations. Exhibit a willingness to accept feedback and a genuine desire to grow in your practice. Show how you have incorporated said feedback into your work. #PrinLeaderChat

A2 relationships based on trust, communication, respect, and a common belief that we grow and learn through mistakes and victories equally - coach them, love them, lead them #prinleaderchat
A2: not sure if influence is the word I’d choose, but absolutely make them a part of the process; sort things out together, clear the road for the folks in your building. #Prinleaderchat
A2: Listen to them to understand them, rather than to respond to them! Be willing to work along side them and offer support as needed! Celebrate successes with them! #PrinLeaderChat
A2: Effective leaders don’t just exert authority; they inspire, persuade, & encourage. They point staff toward a common goal & and draw out a commitment to achieve results. #prinleaderchat
A2- lead by example don’t be afraid to do the task you are asking others to do! Listening to there needs! Give them a seat at the table! #PrinLeaderChat
A2 Invest in them by spending time with them - listen to their goals, ask how you can assist them with achieving their next steps, share the lessons you have learned with them, always be accessible #prinleaderchat
A2 It’s my go-to twitter response: MODEL YOUR EXPECTATIONS. You have to model sincerely. Stakeholders can see thru a one-shot dog-n-pony. #PrinLeaderChat

A2 Inspired by @schug_dennis: Leaders need to be the LIGHT of the school. And the reason for your light will change and evolve based on circumstance. #PrinLeaderChat
A2: Serving as a buffer when needed from the superfluous pieces that can add stress or weigh down staff. Even small gestures to protect time and support others will be investsments that pay off more than we know. #PrinLeaderChat
A3 - again, relationships and communication - build those connections so that mutual opportunities for support, being a sounding board for each other - whether principal or supt, you need those connections #prinleaderchat
A3. Seek out other leaders within your PLN. @basil_marin and I conduct a daily reflection chat on @voxer. It helps when you need someone to bounce ideas, vent, and reflect #Prinleaderchat
A3- My colleagues in district meet as a team and constantly collaborate on common goals and initiatives. I also love collaborating with leaders across my region through @EdCampLI@EdcampLdrNY#PrinLeaderChat
A3) Conservation. Invite then often to your school. Listen to their ideas, share yours. Have an open door, phone line, Twitter feed, etc. Be accessible. #PrinLeaderChat
A3. Be mindful of your influence and power. I’m planning to be AWESOME next week at school. I want everyone I come in contact with to be AWESOME as well. #PrinLeaderChat
A3: Collaborate with other leaders! Be willing to listen and to provide support when needed! Also, be willing to ask questions and ask for support when needed! #PrinLeaderChat
A3. Work on the local/county level to connect with other educators as we try to do in Bergen County NJ with @BergenCountyPSA Building a local PLN
#prinleaderchat
A3: We have official meetings w/ other tech leaders 2-3 times a year, but we need to take more initiative & meet via Skype or GHO more often. #PrinLeaderChat
A3 It takes a “Justice League” to move our schools forward. We are not alone and we must team up to empower super heroes in our schools! #PrinLeaderChat
A3 We do this through purposeful collaboration. Anything worth doing is worth doing together. Connecting with colleagues who share the same passion to support Ss is invaluable. #prinleaderchat
A3: Organize a #Mastermind session and invite them to learn and grow together. Invite them to connect - site visit, weekly meetings, etc. Propose a joint project! #PrinLeaderChat
A3: Collaborate! Share and communicate with each other--offer support, encouragement, and idea sharing! In our county, the MS Principals have regularly scheduled monthly meetings, and we manage the agenda on a Google doc...#PrinLeaderChat
The opportunities I am afforded have all come because of the generosity of others. Amazing role models in the District where I work, throughout NY networks, and digitally/virtually as well. #prinleaderchat
A4- stay positive, up beat and always keep the students first in your decision making! Even the toughest decisions are made easy if you put the students in the forefront! #PrinLeaderChat
Great role model in @jameelynch who early in my career taught me a lot about developing teachers instructional knowledge and gave me tools for tough conversations. #PrinLeaderChat
A5. Digitally I surround myself with the people who inspire me, that I yearn to be like, who push my thinking and make me want to work harder just to keep up with their AWESOMENESS. Twitter and chats like #PrinLeaderChat have been game changers for me. I am so grateful!
A4. I was mentored by some great leaders early in my career. I also try to visit progressive leaders and pick their brains for new ideas. Always things to do better! #PrinLeaderChat
A2: Be genuine! Be who you are! Be part of the team! Listen to people! Find ways to say "yes" to ideas before saying "no"...Build a collaborative culture where everyone feels valued! #PrinLeaderChat
A3: Honoring others is so important. As is being vulnerable. I’ve connected with others in the same position b/c I openly admire their work, ask questions to more deeply understand, & share that I struggle too. We need to authentically connect with one another! #PrinLeaderChat
A4: My colleagues have taught me the importance of reflection. They push me and support me. They also keep me in line and tell it like it is. #PrinLeaderChat
A4-The great ones who have helped me never criticize me in front of others. They always took me to the side and coached me to do better. #prinleaderchat
A4: So fortunate to be surrounded by amazing people who support me! Professional development has grown my PLN and my thinking! Find people who can build you up, challenge you to be better, and support your vision! #PrinLeaderChat
A4: Genuine and earnest conversations. Modeling and advising. Celebrating success and providing support in tough spots. Laughing and crying together. #PrinLeaderChat
🤔 Grow your PLN, connect with them, & share ideas...But MOST importantly, love what you do & where you work, build a collaborative culture, surround yourself with the BEST people 💙, challenge yourself to be better, & have an amazing support system! #FalconPride#FalconFamily
