A1: Countless changes over the years...currently we are changing our school day schedule, adding PE every day, math interventions. #OREdChat

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:37 PM EDT

A1: I was on committees to add 6th graders to our 7/8 middle schools. It also seems we’re always changing curriculum or standards. #OREdChat

KathiSueSummers Jun 18 @ 11:37 PM EDT

A1: Moving from T to Admin in the middle of the 1st month of school one year. #LeadLAP #OrEdChat

MsLaurenMertz Jun 18 @ 11:37 PM EDT

I'm enjoying #LeadLAP so much. I talked the rest of my district's PD committee to read it next year as our book study. #Oredchat #scsdpd

In reply to @MsLaurenMertz, @jkjohnsonbell, @BethHouf

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 18 @ 11:38 PM EDT

A1. The ordering of classrooms by grade level. Nobody wanted to move .#oredchat

KathiSueSummers Jun 18 @ 11:38 PM EDT

No, moved from HS to MS. It was very stressful. #LeadLAP #OrEdChat

In reply to @burgess_shelley, @MsLaurenMertz, @jkjohnsonbell, @BethHouf

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:38 PM EDT

Changing schedules can be complicated! #OrEdChat

In reply to @hmarrs24

tishrich Jun 18 @ 11:38 PM EDT

A1: 1st yr as a lead for our Discovery SLC. Started pineapple, created Twitter # to share. Learned lots! Big year! #oredchat #leadlap

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:39 PM EDT

I bet - lots of relationships to build and a steep learning curve, I'm sure! #OrEdChat

In reply to @KathiSueSummers, @burgess_shelley, @MsLaurenMertz, @BethHouf

burgess_shelley Jun 18 @ 11:39 PM EDT

A1: I have made many. Key to change is to give it the time and energy it needs. And building in lots of time for learning #OREdChat #LeadLAP

lenbryan25 Jun 18 @ 11:39 PM EDT

A1: I have helped a middle school become an IB MYP school, opened a high school, & re-started a statewide database program. #oredchat

kinderkfoley Jun 18 @ 11:39 PM EDT

Not as many as I have hoped for #OREdChat Pretty much stuck. Thinking about making a drastic change.

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:36 PM EDT

Q1: What changes have you navigated as a leader? #OREdChat

SteinbrinkLaura Jun 18 @ 11:39 PM EDT

A1: Schedule changes, 3 superintendents in 5 years, new sup=new initiatives, new committees, new priorities (best for kids...)#OREdChat

hmarrs24 - Moderator Jun 18 @ 11:39 PM EDT

Esp. when you are adding time to the day...starting 15 min early to get PE and Math Int. time in. Hard sell but worth it! #OrEdchat

In reply to @jkjohnsonbell

KathiSueSummers Jun 18 @ 11:40 PM EDT

It was. But, not that I am retired I still have those relationships. #LeadLAP #OrEdChat

In reply to @jkjohnsonbell, @burgess_shelley, @MsLaurenMertz, @BethHouf

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:40 PM EDT

I'm hearing about changes - both big and small! Schedules and staffing are big ones. #OrEdChat

kinderkfoley Jun 18 @ 11:40 PM EDT

Hello from ElLensburg! #oredchat

burgess_shelley Jun 18 @ 11:40 PM EDT

Oh my gosh, yes! It is amazing how sacred everyone holds the schedule. Changing it requires a lot of finesse! #OREdChat #LeadLAP

In reply to @jkjohnsonbell, @hmarrs24

MsLaurenMertz Jun 18 @ 11:41 PM EDT

A1: On leadership team during leading our school towards PLC's #oredchat

Interesting - can you tell us more? #OrEdChat

In reply to @kinderkfoley

kinderkfoley Jun 18 @ 11:41 PM EDT

We are having another big schedule change this year too #oredchat

In reply to @SteinbrinkLaura

MelissaBalcom Jun 18 @ 11:41 PM EDT

A1 Taking the library in or out of the specials rotation - moving from a scheduled to open library. #oredchat

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:41 PM EDT

Yep - got to watch out for the hidden priorities - music or sports or something else! #OrEdChat

In reply to @burgess_shelley, @hmarrs24

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:41 PM EDT

Hi #OrEdChat new administrator from IL. Looking forward to tonight's comments to help with my transition this school year.

KathiSueSummers Jun 18 @ 11:42 PM EDT

My big struggle was building the master schedule. #LeadLAP #OrEdChat

burgess_shelley Jun 18 @ 11:42 PM EDT

Yes. We also sometimes forget that people need time to learn and practice in order to grow. Great feedback is crucial! #OREdChat #LeadLAP

In reply to @hmarrs24

kinderkfoley Jun 18 @ 11:43 PM EDT

I was hoping to switch grades this year. Also have been working on tech angle, but feels like the wheels are stuck #oredchat

In reply to @jkjohnsonbell

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:43 PM EDT

A2: Connecting with “stakeholders” to take the temp on a change can give you stories to convince people it’s right. #OREdChat #booksnap

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:44 PM EDT

Getting everyone on board or getting access to tech can be a challenge! #OREdChat

In reply to @kinderkfoley

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:42 PM EDT

Q2: What deliberate steps have you taken before a change? #OREdCha

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:45 PM EDT

A2: Connecting with “stakeholders” to take the temperature on a change can give you stories to convince people it’s right. #OREdChat

KathiSueSummers Jun 18 @ 11:45 PM EDT

A2: I did a lot of 1 to 1 meetings with folks and listened. #LeadLAP #OrEdChat

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:45 PM EDT

Oops - things are going so fast! #OrEdChat

In reply to @hmarrs24

SteinbrinkLaura Jun 18 @ 11:45 PM EDT

A2: Time for team members to adjust. Give them a heads up, support, and info:#OREdChat

LeachTeach4 Jun 18 @ 11:45 PM EDT

A2: Try to prepare my mind for the change...try to help colleagues prepare their minds for the change... ;-) #OREdChat

hmarrs24 - Moderator Jun 18 @ 11:46 PM EDT

A2: Give stakeholders all the info they need, get a good read on how it is being accepted, plan, reflect, and plan some more! #OREdChat

MsLaurenMertz Jun 18 @ 11:46 PM EDT

I tried for a teacher leader job last year and didn't get it. But I didn't let that stop me in helping my colleagues by leading. #Oredchat

In reply to @kinderkfoley, @jkjohnsonbell

MelissaBalcom Jun 18 @ 11:46 PM EDT

A2 It seems silly, but organizing my Google Drive helped me collect my thoughts and prepare. #oredchat

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:46 PM EDT

That should be worth it! But so much to navigate to have effective PLCs that are about learning and students. #OrEdChat

In reply to @MsLaurenMertz

baritoneblogger Jun 18 @ 11:46 PM EDT

A1: With a team of very big differences in years (first year to almost 20 years), ensuring equity of voices. #OREdChat

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:36 PM EDT

Q1: What changes have you navigated as a leader? #OREdChat

tishrich Jun 18 @ 11:47 PM EDT

A2: Make sure everyone is informed, give lots of support, and listen! #oredchat

burgess_shelley Jun 18 @ 11:47 PM EDT

A2: I spend lots of time in small groups and one on one planting seeds, asking questions, getting feedback, brainstorming... #OREdChat

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:48 PM EDT

Not silly at all - getting organized is important for any change! #OrEdChat

In reply to @MelissaBalcom

MsLaurenMertz Jun 18 @ 11:48 PM EDT

A2: Thought about a couple different options & possible solutions to difficulties before running it by the principal & teachers. #oredchat

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:42 PM EDT

Q2: What deliberate steps have you taken before a change? #OREdCha

hmarrs24 - Moderator Jun 18 @ 11:48 PM EDT

I like the idea of small groups and 1:1! Large groups can allow for only 1 or 2 voices to be heard and/or crowd mentality! #OREdChat

In reply to @burgess_shelley

lenbryan25 Jun 18 @ 11:49 PM EDT

A2: Build relationships, establish trust & communication, & research. All of this must be done before undertaking a big project. #oredchat

kinderkfoley Jun 18 @ 11:49 PM EDT

Thanks Lauren. I just feel I keep hitting brick walls. Not sure the magic touch to break through ;) #oredchat

In reply to @MsLaurenMertz, @jkjohnsonbell

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:49 PM EDT

I'm hearing lots of thoughts on listening and connecting with individuals before a big change! Great advice! #OrEdChat

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 18 @ 11:49 PM EDT

My homework. #oredchat

kinderkfoley Jun 18 @ 11:49 PM EDT

definitely! #oredchat

In reply to @hmarrs24, @burgess_shelley

burgess_shelley Jun 18 @ 11:49 PM EDT

Exactly. I don't bring it to the large group until I have already connected with just about everyone in another setting. #OREdChat

In reply to @hmarrs24

Hey all, Evin from Seattle! 9th & 10th grade LA/SS, I'm bingewatching Scandal & listening to #DearEvanHansen or #HereLiesLove. #oredchat

Nice Job. Great #booksnap #LeadLAP #OrEdChat

In reply to @ManionJulie

baritoneblogger Jun 18 @ 11:51 PM EDT

A2: So much of it for me is knowing the whys and hows and preparing and opening my own heart and mind before talking to the team. #OREdChat

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:42 PM EDT

Q2: What deliberate steps have you taken before a change? #OREdCha

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:51 PM EDT

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on changes. Let's move on to Ch. 14. #OREdChat

kinderkfoley Jun 18 @ 11:51 PM EDT

I think buy in is missed a lot. If change is talked up, to people as individuals, =more buy in. At least in theory :) #oredchat

In reply to @burgess_shelley, @hmarrs24

Q3: What are the stories of this school year that are the treasure map to your successes? #OREdChat

A2: Great book by Jeff Walker: Launch. It's valuable. It's about launching products but huge implications for launching change. #OREdChat

KathiSueSummers Jun 18 @ 11:52 PM EDT

A3: I was able to help a district out of Improvement mode. #LeadLAP #OrEdChat

ManionJulie - Moderator Jun 18 @ 11:52 PM EDT

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:53 PM EDT

A3: For coaching- the T that said “teach me how to teach math.” I’ve taught, observed, and seen change! SBAC scores are up, too! #OREdChat

I have shifted away from using "buy in" to using "building commitment". Feels less like I am trying to "sell" them. #OREdChat

In reply to @kinderkfoley, @hmarrs24

tishrich Jun 18 @ 11:53 PM EDT

A3: celebrating & reflecting were pivotal for me this year. Here is one example among many in my latest blog post. #oredchat #leadlap

Q3: What are the stories of this school year that are the treasure map to your successes? #OREdChat

LeachTeach4 Jun 18 @ 11:54 PM EDT

#Oredchat A3: For me it's all about student success , this guy had 3 senior years, but he never gave up. Big smile, big success story. :-)

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:54 PM EDT

So cool! Any specific projects you can share? #OrEdChat

KathiSueSummers Jun 18 @ 11:58 PM EDT

A4: I really don't have a school so I share my experiences in my chats. #LeadLAP #OrEdChat

jkjohnsonbell Jun 18 @ 11:58 PM EDT

A4: Don’t have a hashtag, but more & more Ts are on twitter. Many use facebook/class web pages to share successes and resources. #OREdChat

kinderkfoley Jun 18 @ 11:58 PM EDT

Exactly! Makes me think of junior high: we all just want to fit in. #oredchat

In reply to @jkjohnsonbell, @burgess_shelley, @hmarrs24

tishrich Jun 18 @ 11:59 PM EDT

A4: We gamified our staff this year. We created a # for each SLC & staff would complete challenges & post to SLC #. #oredchat
