jm_kiel Sep 17 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1- Initiatives that better learning for Ss & families. Not next best thing, but proven to be effective. & aligned to your direction #MNLead

That's like the school golden rule. At least one adult who cares. Each child knows they have someone. #mnlead

In reply to @MisterPlaia

A1) Initiatives that impact every aspect of school, like studying Mindsets and rethinking what we expect of kids and how we talk #mnlead

A1) Our school initiatives need to be focused on students needs and providing them REAL learning experiences #mnlead

I like the idea of research proven rather than research based. Sometimes things get a little loose. Good point Justin. #mnlead

A1 I really want to see more Diversity Education in our schools. More conversations w/our Ss on Social Justice More focus on Equity. #MNLead

OakCrestPrin Sep 17 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1 We need to continue to look at initiatives that grow the student both academically and socially. #mnlead

GSmit4Character Sep 17 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A school isn’t a positive place to learn bc of initiatives; rather it succeeds bc of engaged Ts promoting relationships & character #mnlead

And to help them on their way navigating between the two. Scores still matter for many institutions. Find the balance of doing best. #mnlead

In reply to @sarahmomof3boys

mcarlstromDR Sep 17 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1 Cont’d) It looks like we’re all on the same initiative page!! More about students and less abt Assessment! Why does no 1 ask us? #mnlead

JennReichel Sep 17 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1. Initiatives need to have a professional growth component and needs to align with our why- development of our learners! #mnlead
