Chris Stephenson, Director of Academic Tech @StEdsVero - #PIAChat
I'm from somewhere that's on most people's bucket list...#NorthernIreland 😊
But on my bucket list...Alaska, Norway and New Zealand! #howSESlearns
Dave from Florida here and ready to get my learn on:) If I wasn’t here with you, I would settle for a beach in Fiji, but I chose you instead :) #PIAChat
Ahhhh!! Here here here!! Lindsy from Iliinois! Bucket List = My kids to accompany me to Sweden to visit the exchange student I had and her family. #piachat
A1 - I just finished off 2017 with some big running goals. Relentless discipline helps to achieve your results. In 2018 I’m running @bostonmarathon and thinking about running across Iowa this summer! #PIAChat
A1. I want to continue to grow the #BeTheOne message, while allowing for self health and being there for my family. It will be a year of being disciplined. #PIAChat#BeTheOne
A1 My personal goal is to spend more quality time with family and friends outside of school hours. Sometimes you just have to say no to requests, right @JessicaCabeen? #piachat
1) knowing @awelcome is here tonight, I feel silly saying this, but my goal is to run around the equator-25,000 miles...next month I hit mile 10,000 #PIAChat
A1: I want to read more in 2018. The stack of books on my list keeps growing and I gotta get going! My friend @Mr_Braden started a #readerleader hashtag and I want in on the action. #PIAChat
A1: My personal goal is to spend more quality time at home with family. When I am home, I want to be at home and not at a pseudo-office! Looking to regain better balance! #PIAchat
A1) I shared in my recent blog post, after a recent heart scare (don't worry, it's healthy), my personal goal is to take better care of myself! @awelcome, @kasnelson and @posickj may even get me addicted to running! #PIAChat
A1- One personal goal I have is to increase my mileage from last year, run at least 4 half marathons, and PR with each one. Love the motivation of the #RunLAP & #FitLeaders peeps! #PIAChat
My personal goal is to focus on serving. Whether serving my family, school, teachers,students, community-I just want to serve & invest in others. Success will happen when we build up others. #PIAChat
Jen, elem principal stepping in from frigid MN tonight. Bucket list destination? Would love to ski the Alps or find a quiet sugar sand beach and soak in the sunshine. Not too picky 😉 #PIAchat
A1: My goal year, I really want to work more on strategic planning and inquiry-based learning for my students and for my faculty to understand through PD. Personally, I really want to be more #makter - I love to tinker with things! #howSESlearns#piachat
A1: One goal aligns with my one word which is rhythm. We are one of 7 districts in KS redesigning and our daughter is getting married in 18. I will have to find a rhythm! #PIAChat
A1: Find a balance between my passion for creating opportunities for my kiddos at school and finding time to show my kids at home that they matter too! #piachat
A1: Andy Jacks Principal Nothern VA - personal goal is to crush out my doctorate with @brewerhm - have to keep our eye on the prize! 1 semester of classes left!! Bring it on professors! #piachat
A1: Ben, AP in Texas. I want to ride my bike at least 3 days a week this year- hot, cold, rain, snow. Well maybe not snow but riding my bike in the month of November and part of December was amazing! #PIAChat
A2. We are working on intervention and making sure that every child gets what they need. My goal is that all Ts, Ps, and Ss come along on this journey. #PIAChat
A2 - I want more kids, adults and schools creating video content. It teaches so many important skills and is a great way for everyone to collaborate, YouTube is where it’s at! #PIAChat
A2- Get all my 'pirates' on the ship! Create a culture where the Ts want to create engaging learning environment for Ss everyday! #PIAChat#tlap#LeadLAP
A2: continue to build the brand of #SiglerNation and connect our students & Ts with other students and Ts from around the world. Check us out via @SiglerStars. #piachat
A2- going to a different school come Monday- my goal is to start by making good connections and relationships with people. My goal is to visit classrooms everyday. #PIAChat
A2) Professional goal = continue to find new ways to inspire teachers to take chances, try new things, and make our school more student centered. #PIAchat
A1 To become a better more articulate advocate for arts education because the arts off opportunities for ALL learners to engage meaning-making and to consider effective/various communication choices. Skills that all students need to better navigate their futures. #piachat
A1 part 2 - I wrote my first blog post this week (terrifying) and I would like to write more. Trying to step out of my comfort zone and be where the magic happens. #PIAchat
A2: continue to showcase the amazing students we serve. Sadly, our school has a negative vibe because we our an alternative program. However, we have some ifvthe smartest and brightest minds. 13 early graduates already!
#PIAChat
A1 - I want to commit to writing more and try to find my voice as a blogger. I struggle with making time and feeling like I have something that people want to read. #PIAchat
A2- going to a different school come Monday- my goal is to start by making good connections and relationships with people. My goal is to visit classrooms everyday. #PIAChat
2) I work in a school with high poverty. Historically there is high teacher turnover. I would love for each of the AMAZING teachers I work with to feel their value and come back year after year. #PIAChat#WEgotTHIS
A2: Help students explore passions & be excited to come to school each day. We have launched a student film team this year, have a student IT team, a student newspaper and a Lego Wall. I want to maximize these possibilities and keep growing with more opportunities #PIAChat
A2- To empower teachers to take risks, try something new, develop a PLN that motivates them and lastly read some of the amazing books circulating the educational world of today #piachat
Really focus on #inquiry based learning @StEdsVero through PD and classes that I teach and collaborate with PreK - 12. Go beyond the "one-and-done" PD experiences to deepen teaching and learning! #piachat
A2: To be more mindful of celebrating the amazing things my teachers do on a daily basis. In the age of contantly improving (and rightfully so) we can lose sight of daily wins. #piachat
A2: Make thinking about specific students a natural part of the planning process. Less going through the motions, more tailored learning experiences. #PIAChat
A2: For every school I support w/ training, I have the goal of creating a positive climate based on inspirational leadership, engagement, safety and good behavior in an environment conducive to learning. #piachat
A2: we have been working on being purposeful and targeted in what we do. We've also been collaborating on how to support kids socially-emotionally which our team (teachers, counselors, paras) do an amazing job of. #PIAChat
A2 #piachat My one professional and personal goal is to #SeekBeautyhttps://t.co/2eUnXtetPw
I believe that if I am successful, then so many other things will fall into place. Hope you all have found your #oneword2018 or #theme to guide your life, work and passions.
#PIAChat A1 After 27 years in education, I'm thinking about how to end strong. Not going anywhere yet but my future path is unsettled. Want to determine my path and impact as many kids as possible.
A3. I want to build upon the relationships already created. Having more intentional conversations on what is needed in the classroom. Use there voice to help drive direction. #PIAChat#StudentVoice
A2 It’s my fifth year as principal and my school family is awesome! I feel like we’re ready to take it to the next level. Working hard everyday to let my teachers know I support them and will greenlight their ideas. #PIAchat
A3- being more intentional about F2F conversations with Ss daily- arrival, in class, hallways, lunch and recess- so important to take TIME to just listen to them #piachat
A3 Mine started today. Visited 25 classrooms, spoke with kids in almost every class, and enjoyed indoor recess 200 kids at a time. And like shampoo, I'll repeat again tomorrow. #PIAchat
A3) Continue making a daily #GoodNewsCallOfTheDay, staying out of the office and into the classrooms, make a positive IMPACT daily with all students!! #PIAChat
A3) I just want to be present with students at Lunches, morning duty, dancing more and good news phone calls! :) . I want to push myself for students tweeters . #PIAchat
A2- redefine our priorities to be sure the ones that impact students most are at the forefront of decisions. Too much “stuff” has muddied the waters. Get out...be present. #PIAchat
A3: learn about them...truly learn about them through meaningful conversations. Every day impact 1 student through a chat. This year alone I have become a Dragon Ball Z junkie to make connections.
#piachat
A3: going to be leading an intervention block for 3rd graders starting next week...can’twait! Also hope to do some book clubs with my 4th graders #piachat
A3: My goal continues to be improving my relationship with each student: calling them by name, good news calls of the day, connecting them to a passion when I chat with, and making time for them! #PIAChat
A3: I’m super pumped! I’m running an ELA intervention group with 5th graders- we have challenged the rest of 5th grade to who will have the highest gains #teamNOchill#PIAChat
A3: Spend time getting to know their interests, their goals and what motivates them. Building positive relationships with your students builds a culture of excellence, of risk taking, of learning and of growth. It all begins with relationships. #culturize#piachat
A3: Figure out our crazy schedule to get meaningful #makerspaces time with my students and allow their creativity to flow into their structured classes! @howSESlearns#piachat
A3 - Principal read alouds are powerful. Students love them, teachers love them, Principal LOVES them the most. Awesome time spent with students. #PIAchat
A3) Know and call every Ss by name and make a point to talk to different Ss every day. I am also doing reading tickets that Ss place in a basket in my office. I pull tickets randomly and Ss come read together in groups with other random Ss. #piachat
A3) As someone new to our campus one priority is to spend time with kids in a variety of ways, be visible, supportive, encouraging to everyone. Let kids know they matter. #piachat
3) I am always good at telling students what their goal should be. This year I want to intentionally support students in meeting their own goals. #PIAChat
A3: Each day stop and connect with at least one different student and have a personal interaction. Today I talked books with a student and we ended up walking in to the library so we could find a new book for the new year and I danced at recess with kids! #PIAChat
A3) I was thinking about having a day that my social media focus is tweeting selfies with Ss and sharing something interesting about them. Need to come up with some fun questions #piachat
A3 - Principal read alouds are powerful. Students love them, teachers love them, Principal LOVES them the most. Awesome time spent with students. #PIAchat
A3: utilizing student voice in decisions and celebrating growth (big or small)! I want to be more intentional in celebrating students (phone calls, notes home).#PIAChat
A3 Ditto @PrincipalFrench 😀Making that positive daily call is the BEST. I send home a student selfie and post one on our Wall of Fame. ❤️ Love it. Appreciate U for the inspiration #PIAchat
A3: Connection btw T & S as it’s the character & values of T that will ultimately teach Ss what they should be. Words, standards & books are important but can’t hold a candle to who we truly are. #piachat
A2- Within our building, we’re working to increase positive supports and recognition. To extend beyond our walls, we’ll continue encouraging staff to expand their PLN by using Twittter, Voxer, etc. #PIAchat
I want to get my P to bring in S reps on our T only school improvement committee...we aren't the only ones there! Ss are mandated to be there, they should have some say #piachat
A3 - Popping my head into classrooms in the AM just to say “Good morning”, increasing #GoodNewsCallOfTheDay, & getting on the school bus for rides home (I had a blast last time!) #PIAchat
CTA: I have the insight timer app ready to rock for a morning meditation session. #PIAchat Thanks for a great chat & the new connections. Keep being great for kids!
