    A team with a vision that’s on a mission doesn’t let division stop them! #EdCoChat
  • CJCain7 - Moderator Aug 9 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    Leaders who have clarity provide clarity. It’s important to provide clarity of: 1. Vision-where are we going. 2. Mission-why are we going there. 3. Priority-what matters most. 4. Focus-what do we need to do. 5. Truth-principles that generate power and results. #edcochat

    Q2: How often does your school leadership talk about the school vision? Do you see it play out in your building? Classroom? Are you involved in HOW it is implemented? #EdCoChat #LeadWithVision

    A2: Every great organization has a North Star (vision/purpose) to guide them and every great leader frequently points their people towards it. #EdCoChat
  • CauleyMr Aug 9 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    A1: Supporting equity by ensuring we give each student a voice through an intentional professional practice. #EdCoChat
  • PrincipalHodges - Moderator Aug 9 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    A2: I talk about but I need to link it to all our decisions and celebrations explicitly! #EdCoChat
  • CJCain7 - Moderator Aug 9 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    We just read @peterhreynolds “The North Star” as a staff and discussed character traits, how we personally related to the characters, why that’s important to know and set the stage to find our collective North Star as a staff. #EdCoChat

    We were very focused on our building goal/vision last year and kept it as a point of discussion in all our leadership team meetings. We’re a non-diverse school but felt we needed to live these principles of equity. I was very proud of the way the teachers did this! #EdCoChat

    Q3: Without a school vision you're like a traveler without a destination - the vision should state where you are going. Where does your vision have you taking kids/families? #EdCoChat #LeadWithVision
  • CauleyMr Aug 9 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A1: My personal vision for the year is rooted in teacher empowerment and student voice. #EdCoChat
  • timwolffSSD Aug 9 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A2: The strategic plan for our mission is referred to often by our superintendent. The vision is not often discussed at the district or school level. #EdCoChat

    CTA: School missions/visions can easily be statements on the wall and not lived experiences. Name one way you can make your school vision come to life in your classroom/building this year. #EdCoChat #LeadWithVision
  • CauleyMr Aug 9 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    A3: Our vision, ideally will not only guide us, but serve as a beacon for the families. If it spurs good reflective conversations at the dinner table or driving to soccer, then we’ve done it well! #EdCoChat
  • PrincipalHodges - Moderator Aug 9 @ 10:00 PM EDT
    CTA: regular video updates and Facebook live for families! #EdCoChat
  • CJCain7 - Moderator Aug 9 @ 10:02 PM EDT
    I tweet a lot about being #allin All-In happens when the team believes in each other as much as they do the vision and mission. #edcochat
  • CauleyMr Aug 9 @ 10:03 PM EDT
    CTA: We embed it in our school culture and practice. The statement is on our website. We use it as a lens for planning. Again, the teachers truly owned this and were amazing at making the vision a living part of their practice. #EdCoChat

    CTA: Visions should reside deep within your soul and flow outward through your actions. #EdCoChat
