Good morning from NJ and my first
great! Can't wait to meet you on Sunday!
welcome! You picked a great chat to join in!
A1: I have to say a great leader has empathy.
Hi Jan. Sorry we didn't use GHO Thur. Nobody even broke out a device - except for hunting Pokemon
A1. Lack of relationships and understanding of needs of the entire community breaks a leader.
A1 The ability to listen to staff, students, parents and other leaders
Good morning from cool but sunny Wisconsin 57 degrees
A1: In my experience developing strong relationships is key to strong leaderships.
First time with Here we go!
a1 Empathy, mission-based actions & directions, in the trenches w Ts & Ss, communicator
welcome! Nice to have another NJ resident- did my undergrad at SHU!
welcome! You picked a great first chat!
A1: Relationships, Relationships, Relationship. Did I mention Relationships?
A1: Trust, commitment to a common mission, transparency, collaboration.
A1: Compassion, effective communication, and collaboration make for great leaders to Ts, Ps, and Ss.
A1: Breaks: Making decisions without consulting others. Makes: Being willing to accept and act on feedback from others.
A1: passion and follow through. The passion is vital, but it's nothing without the commitment to see the vision through
good answer! Whole child education and whole person employment is so important
A1. Vision, Communication, Passion, are my top 3.
Need to know your blind spots if you are going to act on feedback from others
A1 Vision for improvement for ALL Ss, Good listeners, Focused on what's best for Ss
A1 Not just listening but doing! The willingness to move forward. Don't be a friend be a partner.
Great answers coming from you all! You must work with, or be, great leaders!
Ha, i figured u had more local concerns! Hope it went well. I want to do next yr. thanks for considering tho.
I hadn't thought of transparency, but so true!
A1 Vision, Collaboration, empowering others and Follow through -
welcome! and a Happy feast day to your school as well...
Yes! Trust is so important -- I've seen many teams fall apart because of a lack of it.
Yes but what type of relationships? Some build the wrong types.
True statement! Rel'ps that propel mission, multiply good effects are crucial.
come join the conversation at . Great discussion will happen regarding educational leadership
A1 Also, encourages risk-taking & cultivates relationships w/ Ss, Ts and parents
Greetings from Utah ! I've been away a while! So glad this chat is vibrantly alive every Saturday
A1: Breaks down when the leader sees themselves as the only answer rather than a role model, guide, and collaborator.
a2
Don't ask your staff to take a risk you aren't willing to take first. Want tech? Do tech first!
A2: Tech: Listening to the people in the trenches...me! What do we need.
And you are one of the great leaders! Miss you friend!
YES YES YES! Lead by example!
A2 Willingness to take risks and fail
Relationships of trust. Leaders have to know their "Why" and articulate to the rest.
so happy to see you! I met your super at NCEA.
A2 The best schools I know have leaders who aren't afraid to admit they don't know everything re: tech & empower others.
A2thinking one PD on tech is enough and moving on to another initiative -that's a breaker.
A1. Great leaders have a goal, give encouragement, and travel with you.
Thanks Barb! I live the topic. I write a fair bit on leadership and work in forming school leaders.
A2 Creates a culture of creativity and innovation, provides resources and most imp open to new ideas
absolutely! Don't need to b expert. Just willing to try yourself, fail forward, and enable others.
A2: Making sure it's not top down. Needs to be driven by Ts & Ss who are ready to go. Give others time to learn.
A2 Many of the same things. Meeting needs of teacher learners is key in any implementation. Making the "whys" known, too
A2 Leading the way in tech, esp if it's out of a leaders comfort zone shows support and models risk taking to Ts.
A2 Listen to your people-all of them. But you must be able to find the RIGHT people.
Amen! That's why I love can continue on with the PD. Budgets are so tight for Catholic schools.
A2- Make and brake: support or lack there of. Can't do one hasty workshop and expect the tech to thrive
I have seen so many leaders trust the wrong people.
"Fail fast and cheap, then iterate" -- that's the best advice I have for parishes/schools re: tech!
Amen! So happy to see a complete team with parents, teachers and 'experts'
A2: Breaks: Technology before/instead of pedagogy; entertainment/excitement before education
A2: Implementing every new fad that comes along w/o thoughtfully asking how the new tool will improve student learning.
A2 if the mission says create life long learners then leader can't ignore use of technology
A2 Learn along w/teachers. Encourage. Don't expect innovation w/o some failure. Provide ed tech training $.
Yes! And they must be willing to offer choice and allow Ts to make them!
What do you see as the "right type" of relationships?
A2 To integrate tech, involve a change agent to coordinate the process. This is what I did! https://t.co/tfRDz4veyn
the "travel with you" is key. Partnership!
A2 must foster culture of collaboration
A2: Following every shiny new object in tech actually erodes trust by others, back to Q1.
A2find your Tech Evangelizers and give them time to preach and teach and model. Let others lead
A2: Makes: Clear and articulated vision of the role of technology;
A2: When leaders promote the vision and value the community experience (tech or not) Ts and Ss respond positively.
Don't just buy into something so the school looks good. Think it through.
Love the word 'encourage'. Ts need to know Admin is w/ them. Get out of the office & into classrooms
agreed! Reflective teaching is so important.
Need to keep this sentiment to the forefront of decision making https://t.co/WaoyygY1eH
Relationships of trust. Leaders have to know their "Why" and articulate to the rest.
A3 I know this isn't always possible in a school setting, but I rely on weekly individual 30min sessions w/ my staff.
A2. Articulating the reasons and the positives of the technology. Understanding the why.
True! Part of being a great leader is recognizing others' strengths and giving them the opportunity to shine!
Thanks for the mention! BarbInNebraska: AlanJLammers great! Can't wait to meet you on Sunday!
Thanks for the mention! ChristineMonge: AlanJLammers Yes but what type of relationships? Some build the wrong types.
Thanks for the mention! ChristineMonge: AlanJLammers I have seen so many leaders trust the wrong people.
Thanks for the mention! GrewalCarol: ChristineMonge AlanJLammers What do you see as the "right type" of relationships?
a3
Makes: clear, honest, positive and timely
Breaks: reactive, disaster-control, or TMI
Good morning! Sorry I'm a bit late...visiting family in Indiana
I have great shoes to be able to provide the kick! Steve Madden and Kate Spade are willing to help
A3 Clear communication in multiple forms to reach all interested parties (staff, students, parents and community .
A1 Yes - vulnerability of a leader is key. I think that applies to upcoming Qs in today's chat so well.
A3 Another factor: timely feedback on performance. What shows up on an annual review should never be a surprise!
A3: Clear, Consistent, and recognizes both positives/growth areas.
A3: here is something simple, a smile and a Good Morning!
Too many schools go 1:1 because of competition. They don't understand how to make it work
A3 stay in the office and wait for folks to come to you but then be too busy to be there = communication breaker.
A3. Encourage communication around tough issues. Cultivate gadflies. Listen, listen, listen.
You must be a listener, but like a parent, not always a friend. Don't choose favorites.
Q4 will be up at 6:20…we are moving this morning
Thoughtful and clear https://t.co/oqRR1e8vHS
a3
Makes: clear, honest, positive and timely
Breaks: reactive, disaster-control, or TMI
A3: authenticity, consistency, and availability
A3. Communication, Communication, Communication. Communication. Teachers should always know about things before parents.
first time to have the word 'gadflies' in chat!
Or just buy the latest "toy" and it collects dust.
Sorry for "thanks for the mentions" Didn't turn off the IFTT recipe.
A3: clarity is key. And call me crazy, but empathy. Being able to consider how your message will come across to others
Ok! Just came across this chat! When does this meet? I'm a 5/6 teacher at St. Michael in Independence, OH! Love Catholic Ed!
never underestimate the power of a smile!!
A3. Communication that is in various forms, and comes often. F2f, email, meetings
Agreed! Listen, listen, listen,....great prayer mantra for leaders
Empathy is crucial. No crazy saying that.
morning! Every Saturday at 8am CST.
A4 This is a tough one -- as a former colleague liked to say, collaboration is hard work!
A4 Lead by example as a collaborator
A3: Breaks: Be too busy to serve the people in our communities.
a4 breaks: Having pre-determined "right" answers, decisions made b4 asking input
Welcome- Saturdays 9 AM Eastern Time. Usually have educators of all experiences and from both coasts on it. .
A3 - Leadership communication - Communicate mission and initiatives with consistency, positivity and empowerment of others
A4 job-embedded time for collaboration shows respect and value to Ts
A4 I think a lot of leg work has to go into building a team ready for true collaboration: trust, teamwork...
A3 The lack of communication! And face to face, one one is the best. Our principal is available every am in FR
a4
makes: empowering Ts, Ss, and community to discuss, try, ideate, repeat.
trust your staff!
A4 share food, always encourages more conversation, openness, common ground, we are Eucharistic people after all!
A4: trust in relationships. A leader can have great ideas, but if there's no relationship built with trust it won't succeed.
A4 ...the ability to let go of our own ideas and compromise with a team, being willing to invest time to understand others.
A4: Breaks: being inconsistent
Food always helps! Snacks make everyone happy
A2 Dept ofEducation Queensland, Australia sees embedding tech as 21 step process.Ts undergo training https://t.co/GE0KPBGfUZ
and not just compramise, but find win-win solutions!
A4 Allowing for time. And requiring accountability. Giving an hour before school isn't an excuse for some to be late.
A4 like Barb I think the word Empathy is so imp for effective collaboration
A4 is a big struggle. Lead a horse to water and all that. My best answer is by modeling and making it a priority.
A4: Trust and empower Ts, build Ts into leaders that you can trust and rely on
A4 Collaboration is more than working on a project together -- involves investing ourselves in others.
A4: makes: let every voice be heard. Every staff has dominant personalities but "quiet" Ts need to be heard too
Trust. In the school's vision. In the staff. In the school itself. Encourage prudent-risk-taking teaching strategies by ts.
A4. Don't mandate collaboration from on high. Let it happen. Just create time for Ts. Honor collaborative ideas & projects.
I love the "I'm the boss" part of this quote. Posturing is such a visible flaw in bad leaders https://t.co/gcDty5QHco
Q5 will be showing up 6:25…
I like this thought. Need to share it w ss when we start collaborative projects!
and going out on a limb to help stretch others https://t.co/i1LenYxbgd
A4 Collaboration is more than working on a project together -- involves investing ourselves in others.
Queensland rocks. I need to go back!
A4: I think it is crucial to recognize that a schl's leaders may not actually have positional authority (like a principal).
is now trending in USA, ranking 38
so many of these comments are best practices for our classrooms! Love it!
accountability is huge. Great to provide the time, but Ts must make the most of the time to collaborate
Yes I agree! It's the essence of good .Jesus is of course a great example for Catholic School Leaders
A3: Makes communication: one-on-one scheduled meetings. 10 min on what they need 10 min on ldr needs 10 m what's next
A2 being comfortable learning from those different from self
But if some are resistant and won't be team players, deal with them individually.
A4 encourage paradigm of life long learners & Trust, the 21st C T is always open to new ideas, reform, renewal.
Yes! There is a difference between authority and leadership, which we often forget in the Church! https://t.co/VmWD3dtx6V
A4: I think it is crucial to recognize that a schl's leaders may not actually have positional authority (like a principal).
you are so right! Classroom teachers are leaders!
A5: Leaders need to be a part of PD - when leaders make it a priority, Ts will too!
A5 Professional development without follow up
A5 Walk the earning journey WITH the Ts makes a leader. Allow for others to implement new ideas and failing is okay
A5 Recognizing that leaders need to engage in ongoing formation and development, too -- they shouldn't sit on the sidelines!
A4: W/ the idea of distributed leadership embraced, collaboration can occur.
Yes! trust is critical. How to establish trust between folks onc it has been broken? Hard work...
I'll be definitely looking at storify after this. Great chat topic to share w/ cohort and encourage more Twitter use. .
A5Good Ldr focuses relentlessly on improving teaching & lrng w/ effective, job-embedded, differentiated PD
A5: providing an environment to make the T successful (resources, feedback, freedom to try new ideas)
A5: changing trends too often. Need to allow time for adjustment. Not modeling the concept just given. Say it AND do it!!
A5: breaks: one size fits all PD; PD that doesn't meet the needs of Ts or Ss; deciding PD without input
Okay you said it best. My thoughts exactly. Don't go to a conf with your Ts and sit outside on your phone.
A5: paying attention to school culture and always shaping it toward collaboration, development and focus on mission.
A5. Recognizing that PD is not a day, but a journey.
I'm almost starting to feel that there are too many ?s, not enough time to read & reflect on responses or to interact.Sorry.
Good Morning better late than not here:-)
morning! Fast moving chat with great answers.
A5 If leaders need to be part of PD so they can be up to date on current trends.
Right and admitting your failures. Why are people so afraid to say "I screwed up". Or the other expletive.
A5: Makes: Keeping the PD real!
a5: Lack of follow through. PD is the first step on a journey of reflective practice.
And the sooner we can make PD mean "personal" development, the sooner we get Ts to take that journey.
A5: we did board & staff planning retreat. WILDLY successful! If want more info DM me and I'll share our info and model
A5: also, let Ts present. Celebrate their success and ideas. Give up power during PD to allow others to develop skills!
A5: Recognizing the power of Twitter for PD. Endless amount of resources and ability to connect with others
and it includes time for reflection, action and retrying
People think admitting failure lessens their authority. Real leaders face reality squarely!
I see where we're going here! All of the previous Qs answers lead to A5! brilliant!
Takes a while to change the culture. But if you want positive change in the school, you must change culture.
A6: picture is best: when leaders view themselves as a boss rather than working with others
Get to know the teachers. Informal class drop-ins & conversations. Listen to Ts. Jump in the fray (sp?) from time to time
a6
playing favorites, inconsistency, leadership out of sync w mission, message
A6 Lack of listening to and respecting their staff, students and community
A6: inconsistency, lack of communication, not transparent, having favorites
A6: some leaders push and not pull! Not to Lead from ahead of the school and not from behind! They don't know their staff!
A6 Because they don't' walk the walk; don't demonstrate respect; don't follow through with commitments.
A6 Don't get me started. It requires more than 140 characters.
A6- biggest cause of this for me: NOT practicing what you preach! If you are telling Ts to lead with love, you better be 2!
More learning and personal development occurs when you have to present. https://t.co/nxZyTv5eku
A5: also, let Ts present. Celebrate their success and ideas. Give up power during PD to allow others to develop skills!
, Anthony Daniels , , , , , Space Monkey
Yes! So tired of working in a silo at my school. Have opp. to co-teach 8 religion this yr. Excited!
A6 I like to say they are not a people person. They don't always listen to others.
A6 easy - fail b/c no relationship with Ts and/or Ss
I see 'inconsistency' as a common A6! and I agree!
A6: Demanding it instead of earning it.
I am really energized by the response. Thanks to all of you! great insights I can learn from.
A6: Relying on positional authority
A6: some leaders don't show conviction. I'd stick with a poor decision from leader if they're confident & don't pass blame.
You're a lucky man! An out of state T reached out this week to our Theology Ts to connect on lessons.
you can earn it by demanding respect of yourself from yourself...Portraying self respect helps mirror it back
A6. Lack of trust. Disingenuous. Saying different things to different parties. Not tackling serious issues head-on.
A6 demonstrate caring and interest--listen
The way you handled the Blended Learning conference was exemplary. You got in there with your staff.
Learning occurs- Reteaching is one of the best learning strategies for anyone. https://t.co/EJFutoQzxP
More learning and personal development occurs when you have to present. https://t.co/nxZyTv5eku
A5: also, let Ts present. Celebrate their success and ideas. Give up power during PD to allow others to develop skills!
Thanks for the mention! ChristineMonge: polonerd AlanJLammers Or just buy the latest "toy" and it collects dust.
your school team is like your family - don't have to like everything but gotta love them!
A7 Trinitarian. ( I know, once a theology teacher, always a theology teacher)
A7: relationships that have meaning. Know what your staff is doing but empowering them to do it as well!
Q7.. feel free to repeat works. will be neat to see
made me look up your word!
A7: So hard with one word! Supportive
, great today. Are you lurking? Def check the storify later.
A6. I fail when I am too busy to answer those real cries of pain.
word cloud in your future?
RT word cloud in your future?
RT word cloud in your future?
That was my first thought!
We all expect a word cloud from these you realize that right!
I've had that opp. In teaching Yr12 Studies of Religion 2Unit. With right combination, Ss are the real winners!
Q8 will be at 6:42…get ready
What do leaders need to feel supported and to do their vocation well?
Word cloud! Word cloud! Word cloud! Word cloud!
With the world so connected, there should be more opportunities to support teachers line this.
good communication, support, timely feedback
Thats awesome. I co-taught last year. New book + New perspective energized me and the students!
Love this ?-Ts who are willing to take a risk and trust them as well. No negativity allowed.
A8 Look to my PLN! and the Saints!
A8 Practice what I want and what I preach
a7 Don't just talk, do. cf classroom pic in a moment...
A8: Practice what I preach!
A8 Treat colleagues the way I want to be treated
Speak up when meeting w other leaders to be sure the under dog is being heard, included, and supported
A9 Presenting at conferences, sharing resources, and being there to help. And my sparkling personality!
not gonna lie, I'm nervous. new territory to me!
A8 If I'm honest: poorly. And only with the help of the Holy Spirit. 😉
A8: follow through, do what you say you're going to do
A8 T's that will try what is asked without complaining and making waves.
A8: present ideas; listen to all sides; develop plan; AND model it! Provide feedback that is timely! Live what you say!
Model leadership by creating teacher leaders. Encourage collaboration across curriculum & outside borders.
A8: someone mentioned this earlier but true for A8, too. A willingness to FAIL and own those failures!
And more! You also provide libations.
A8: publicly admitting mistakes, apologizing. Take the blame for failure, pass the credit for success
A8: modeling best practices
A8 That could be a full topic for our Sat.
Many of you likely awesome, but Catholic schools know personally are rancid purveyors of racism
Empower T's to present PD meetings, professional conferences
A5 PD/PL should be ongoing and as needed. It should link Ts to school priorities. Should be planned https://t.co/PUFWnYuH4J
Libations and Learning Amazing what happens at those sessions
I love looking my ss in the eyes and exclaiming, "wow! I blew that one!" messes w their minds :-D
A8: Show my own risk taking when trying something new. Sharing ideas, give credit to others, modeling as best I can!
A8 More seriously, I try to maintain good communication, show that I'm not above pitching in. Try to share what I've learned
A8 Design PD like you want the Ts to teach, collaborate, foster leadership in others
A7. Don't be an island! Collaborate w/ others teachers, other principals, and families. School is community, not a person.
A8 by stepping back and putting others in front
I can only imagine! We have those at luncheons and get the best discussions.
A8 Recognize the work of others, show gratitude. Pray regularly for and with my staff.
A8 Demonstrating commitment-hard work
Showing authentic enthusiasm. And then working with others on their projects so they can see enthusiasm is really authentic.
A8: by Allowing others to try, fail, and succeed and praising that growth.
I need a similar title for my in home Google sessions. Suggestions?
Anything we do, we do by the Grace of God. Love this point. https://t.co/fl00FJxSKr
A8 Recognize the work of others, show gratitude. Pray regularly for and with my staff.
It's all about that growth mindset - for themselves and others!
A8 vision. Also, taking risks, modeling, showing empathy, sharing others’ success
A9 Ask questions -- assume good intent, look for reasons when I don't understand decisions, directions.
Prayer- that's the heart of it all, isn't it? Loved this answer.
A8 Passion for what they are asking T's to do. If they are committed T's will give their support.
Goggle with Google ?( goggle is a slang term for libations
Great communication means so much! Kudos for involving others and sharing continually
A9: Ask questions but don't assume the worst. Listen critically.
A9: Understand before seeking to be understood.
A9 I need to watch myself on this one. I have a hot head if I feel something is wrong.
A9: Ask the million dollar question. How is this going to help our Ss succeed now & in their future?
Agree, Rita - there is much power in peer to peer learning and collegiality
A9: Be willing to lead in solving the problem/making a change.
Sitting A9 out to learn from you all! This is an area of weakness for me.
A9: Assume best intentions of all involved.
A9: respectfully, with mission and vision in mind, it's okay to ask when things don't align with mission
A9 with respect and use data when possible to support your points, always focus on what's best for Ss
Agreed - assume good intent
and hope that others assume the same
A9: Sometimes you have to have faith that everyone has the mission and Ss best interest at heart. If not, then seek answers
I must check out early. Thank you for leading, !
a9
ooof, tough one! respectfully, one on one, focus on positive change, I statements...
A9: by collaborating with others and offering a different model that cooperates with those who need to be challenged.
Challenge to get out of routines make change and grow
A9: do a new idea without permission on a small scale. Show results to leader. If no, get a group to come back with support.
Me too! This is helping me grow!
See those attending in Omaha next week on Sunday!
thanks for joining in, Chad! See you tomorrow. Great warm up for the summit
Always-bring in student learning and you will always win.
A9..sometimes you just need to call it out when leadership is wrong . You do it with TRUTH
. And there are usually more than just two sides.
a9 cont. https://t.co/HvuT85rh9a
A2: Several barriers in education can be addressed with an "And/Both" mindset, instead of an "Either/Or mindset."
A9: know what values/principles are most imp to u. Know the "hills you are willing to die on"
Or rant to anyone who will listen as I tend to do. I am a leadership work in progress
Yes, and if positive school culture is there, that's okay to question/call out!
Final Q at 6:55…thanks to everyone this morning
Exactly! If you show Ts how a tool will help their Ss, & Ts don't want to implement - I don't want those Ts
A9 With respect of their time and viewpoint--with preparation
Let's honor & respect girls/women & create leadership so not addressed as "guys"
Let's all be familiar w/Decree 14 Jesuits & the Situation of Women in the Church and Civil Society
https://t.co/Pd5ewDWdxh
A lot of is lining up to our convo today. Great thoughts in both places. https://t.co/0lsK2R2gmL
A2: To lead beyond compliance, we have to have a greater vision for students, teachers, and education. Empower others to dream!
haha! Yes! always a work in progress
Always have a rational friend who will give you perspective before you call it out. I have several.
Great convo in both places. I've got them open next to each other in Tweetdeck
a10
Gratitude for those in positions of formal authority. Its not easy.
Gotta duck out -- may God bless you and our !
agreed! Positive school culture = key to it all!
I call it the friend "snark" test. Am I being clear and respectful or snarky and dismissive?
Honesty and humor are my best qualities.
A10 always start and end your day with prayer. The rest will follow.
thank you this was great discussion I'm pumped!
Thanks for the mention! BarbInNebraska: AlanJLammers that is so true!
Good leaders promote positive culture, positive culture helps form good leaders!
You'd like our multimedia studio - it's soundproof.
A10: Follow the model of the True Servant Leader!
A10 Tough being in a leadership position. You are damned if you do and damned if you don't. Hard job.
Really enjoyed reflecting on this topic with all of you…can’t wait to see the storify version
Off for the Saturday walk. It's going to be a hot one.
One more thought Imp to track progress and support interventions based on S needs
TY Ken 4 a serendipitous chat. Just became Principle, inspired by all these fine folks!
I'm most grateful for the leaders I have had the opportunity to know and work with - so inspiring FtF and
A10: it's not something you're born with. It's built through time, caring, empathy, & passion. Use it for the best for Ss!
so how do you keep it all together for the sake of the Ss?
A10. It doesn't just happen in an office. It happens every day in our classrooms w/ teachers and students learning new ideas
A10: Priests are important part of leadership in Cath schls & can make or break a principal. Could be chat topic of its own
A10 thank you for those in positions of authority. It's not easy!
Good luck to you.. God Bless your vocation. https://t.co/SNq2zWyPGM
TY Ken 4 a serendipitous chat. Just became Principle, inspired by all these fine folks!
A10- as in all things, look to Christ as a model. Lead with love and humility. The rest will follow. Loved meeting you all!
A10: Growth mindsets and solid school culture do wonders for leadership. Lead by example. Not easy, but important!
A10 Leadership is recognized not appointed. Others follow when they see another is worth following.
Thank you and have a great week
Our principal definitely follows this model, and is changing the culture of the building. Collaboration & Care
Terrific chat today thanks to and all here - Thank you!!
