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.
Eric Tingle, Regional School Improvement Manager @teainfo. I'm going to go with @HannahMMHarvey! She gave me a shot as a young AP, when others wouldn't. She still inspires me! #HISDAdminChat
Hey there, Christina from Wainwright. And my high school English teacher, Mrs. Bryant, inspired me to go to college and major in English. :) #HISDAdminChat
Debbie from Bellaire! Going way back to the my first coach. She taught me as much about life as she did swimming. Shout out to Sue Dunn. *No way she's on twitter but forever grateful! #HISDAdminchat
Steven Shetzer from Pershing Middle School. #HISDAdminChat in the short year between leaving the classroom and becoming a principal, I was fortunate to have @RitaGraves16 as a coach and mentor

Ms. Foreman, 1st grade teacher taught me the importance of having confidence and not to allow my insecurities of being an EL to hinder my abilities. She paved the pathway in my beginning an educator. #HISDAdminChat

Hi! Its Lauren from @ELLevationED and my Eng II Teacher was also my HS Soccer coach and she inspired me a ton! I actually still talk to her to this day. #HISDAdminChat
"If we check the weather each day before we choose our outfit for the day, why don't we check our student's "temperatures" before heading into a lesson? Here's one way one our presenters and rockstar teacher @TeachSlate does it. https://t.co/RfJZMRHrj6

Hi ! Todd from Texas! Joe Torre the @Yankees manager was always an inspiration to me. He won on the biggest of stages & managed the NYC noise like a champion. #HISDAdminChat
A1: Coaching isn’t just about helping my teachers, admin team, and students get better. It’s about the positive ripple effect that happens when they leave and go out into the world. #HISDAdminChat
Julie from Bellaire jumping in.
A1. My coaching role with my students is to focus, motivate, refine, and encourage. I hope to also do that with my colleagues as well. #HISDAdminchat
A1 Coaching is central to my role I get to spend time in classrooms and see the good & help teachers know they are seen & valued and provide ideas & resources that they ask for. There goals are attainable & that's exciting. I steal a LOT of good stuff along the way #HISDAdminChat
A1 - coaching happens every day. My goal is to become a collaborative leader so that I can coach in collaboration with those I spend time with #HISDAdminChat
A1. I am fortunate to work with a supervisor who is hands on in developing me in my role. I can then take that coaching model and coach people on my team. It's very important! #HISDAdminChat

A1-In my current role, I have the distinct pleasure of being able to coach and influence educators that impact the lives of millions of #ELLs. Getting it right is of paramount importance. #HISDAdminChat
#HISDAdminChat our school Has two coaching positions for staff at the high school. They don’t impact my role, however they greatly impact the teachers in our buildings.
A1: Coaching isn’t just about helping my teachers, admin team, and students get better. It’s about the positive ripple effect that happens when they leave and go out into the world. #HISDAdminChat
A2 - I like to think of coaching as adding a skill and consulting as sharpening of the skills. Both are important and can have lifelong impacts. #HISDAdminChat
A2 - consulting is coming in and finding a problem and offering a solution. Coaches support a learner and offer guidance but do not tell a learner what to do #HISDAdminChat
A1: we must honestly ask, do they need us to model or do they need coaching to be successful? Often we assume and that leads to frustration & confusion. Let’s coach em up! #HISDAdminChat
A2: Consulting usually means on the sidelines; sounding board; helps you process ideas whereas a coach is in the game with you.. more hands on #HISDAdminChat
Great coaches keep their cool under pressure. They talk the team or player up. Encouragement, praise, advice, being right beside them as the play begins. #HISDAdminChat
A2: Great question! Consulting is more focused on a specific area where the consultant is the expert. Coaching is the action of improving the outcomes? Am I close? #HISDAdminChat
Sorry I’m late #HISDAdminChat Couldn’t miss the great @m_squaredBHS !
A2: Seems that a coach assumes the player has the talent to be developed, where the consultant brings the knowledge or skill.

Much like a coach has a set of plays - as do I in my playbook. You have to know the person and know the desired outcome. You then chart a path that leads to growth and often times a new play in your own playbook. #HISDAdminChat
Hello. Sorry I am late. I am an assistant principal at an elementary school. My favorite teacher was my HS English teacher. I was going through a lot and felt invisible. She noticed me and told me I was smart. #HISDAdminChat#ACauseBeyondOneself#Hearnetastic
A2 When a dilemma presents itself I listen carefully and see if the person that is in front of me is asking for input to make a decision themself or if they have come to me and need my experience and want a step by step solution to try. #HISDAdminChat

A2-Consulting focuses on fixing the situation regardless of the people involved. Coaching focuses on improving the people so they can fix the situation. #HISDAdminChat

Agreed, and I have worked for leaders that straight out ask...do you want me to coach you or are you looking for just an answer. It always causes me to step back and think. #HISDAdminChat
Yes, I love this. And being beside them when things need to be adjusted. It's not going to be better right off the bat. It's comforting having someone to debrief with and make adjustments. #HISDAdminChat
A3: This year I’ve been blessed with an outstanding coach @HilarionMartin1 that pushes me and stretches me like I have never experienced. So many reflections and learning! #HISDAdminChat
A3. Stay humble, always be a learner. As I grow, I continue to ask questions to develop my craft. I lean on experts around me for guidance and try to offer suggestions along the way. I'm like LeBron James (Player/Coach). Lol. #HISDAdminChat
A3: My commitment is to always be better than I was the year before. Like last year I started using #GoogleClassroom so this year I'm challenging myself to having a 50 paperless classroom. I want to change the narrative of #urbaneducation#HISDAdminChat
A3: The commitment I’ve made to myself is to always be open to others who have something to teach you. This is my 24th year as an educator, and I still feel like I have so much to learn. :) #HISDAdminChat
A3: Never settle!
1. Ask for feedback and use it for reflection
2. Model the expectation
3. Seek out and work with a coach to continue to get better
#HISDAdminChat
I have formed my own #pln with other math teachers across the country through twitter. Through their sharing, I have new ideas each week that can be immediately applied in my classroom. Love having so many ideas and approaches readily available. #hisdadminchat
A1: In my current role, I coach math teachers. It’s a true joy to watch teachers learn things that they never knew. Just like watching kids learn!!! #HISDAdminChat

#HISDAdminChat
#HISDAdminChat A1. My role as a coach is to be available to coach all of the staff so that they may coach the students. I must visit classrooms and communicate to find out what the staff needs.
A3: My commitment is to always be better than I was the year before. Like last year I started using #GoogleClassroom so this year I'm challenging myself to having a 50 paperless classroom. I want to change the narrative of #urbaneducation#HISDAdminChat
A3-Interesting that Michael Jordan is in the picture. A man that never praised himself over his team. Gave the time and dedication and let his actions speak for him. #HISDAdminChat
A3: My commitment is to be honest in my areas of growth, embrace that failure is part of the learning process, and do whatever is needed to improve. #HISDAdminchat

A1. Coaching is an essential component of effective prof dev. Coaching can build will, skill, knowledge, & capacity because it can go where no other prof dev has gone before: into the intellect, behaviors, practices, beliefs, values, & feelings of an educator. #HISDAdminChat
#HISDAdminChat A2. When faced with a delima, to consult meants to listen and give advice. Coaching means to role your sleeves and to show and coach through the delima. #Hearnetastic#ACauseBeyondOneself
Eric Tingle, Regional School Improvement Manager @teainfo. I'm going to go with @HannahMMHarvey! She gave me a shot as a young AP, when others wouldn't. She still inspires me! #HISDAdminChat
I was fortunate that the #mtbos already existed for quite some time but I am amazed at how fast connections were able to be made! So worth the time invested. #hisdadminchat

A3. For my own development, surround myself with smart people wanting to learn more. Be appreciative of everything that I learn from them and continue to seek out resources that make learning for teachers and adults more meaningful! #StayCurious#HISDAdminChat
Book says biggest fault in feedback is miscommunication between the person giving and the person receiving. If they are not on the same page - it falls on deaf ears, #HISDAdminChat
A3: I’m committed to always being a student of the GAME! I vow to continue stretch my mind in order to best the best TEAM in my classrooms!! #HISDAdminChat
A3. It’s critical that we identify and gather sets of qualitative and quantitative data that can reveal the impact of our work resulting in improved student learning. #HISDAdminChat
#HISdAdminChat A# My commitment to coaching is to continue to study and grow. A great coach improves on what they already know. They reflect and find new and innovative ways to reach a new and innovative society.
A2. Coaching works on a one-to-one basis and facilitates growth vs consulting usually works with more than one person, often in a team and gathers data and reports on what needs to be done. #HISDAdminChat
