GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:07 PM EDT

Q1-What has been a key factor to an increase in misbehavior and/or school violence? #Admin2B #kcedu #team512

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1. #admin2b It sounds cliche, but students not understanding that social media needs to be filtered-brings drama to school and perpetuates

japhillips0722 May 2 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1 The glorification of violence in many neighborhoods and areas; irresponsible use of social media #admin2b

japhillips0722 May 2 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1 Lack of coping and conflict resolution skills; deep rooted anger issues that have never been dealt with and addressed #admin2b

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@japhillips0722 It's more than just violent video games - nobody seems to flinch at violence anymore. #admin2b

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@japhillips0722 Definitely agree with all on this list Jerod! #admin2b

japhillips0722 May 2 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1 Misbehavior has been modeled by adults in front of kids unfortunately #admin2b

japhillips0722 May 2 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@GenieneD You are exactly right #admin2b

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:16 PM EDT

Question 2 coming up in one minute >>>>>>#admin2b

FrancesDeVaughn May 2 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A1 Breakdown in family relationships, decreased communication, negative models of conflict resolution #admin2B

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@japhillips0722 So w/ School expectations in place -can we have a lasting impact on Ss? Or just concerned with good behavior 8-4?#admin2b

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Q2 How do your T’s respond to classroom misbehavior? #Admin2B #kcedu #team512

japhillips0722 May 2 @ 8:17 PM EDT

I agree with these #admin2b https://t.co/JgKa0H5GBX

FrancesDeVaughn May 2 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A1 Breakdown in family relationships, decreased communication, negative models of conflict resolution #admin2B

FrancesDeVaughn May 2 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Hello! Frances, sped teacher from Newport News checking in. #Admin2B

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@FrancesDeVaughn Thanks for joining in! I agree with your list too #admin2b

japhillips0722 May 2 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@GenieneD I believe that we can have a lasting effect of the students as a school #admin2b

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@japhillips0722 I do too. I think that T mindset difference makes a difference. If Ss feel cared for (not just 8-4) they will grow #admin2b

FrancesDeVaughn May 2 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@japhillips0722 The effects negative use of Social media can be devastating. #admin2B

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@DanielFarrisTSG Welcome Daniel - #admin2b

japhillips0722 May 2 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2 It varies; some believe in zero tolerance & write everything up, some try to work with parents & child to reteach expectations #admin2b

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@japhillips0722 What do you attribute those differences to? any pattern or just teacher disposition? #admin2b

japhillips0722 May 2 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@FrancesDeVaughn The social media drama brought into the school is an animal; T's have no idea how it affects work for APs & Deans #admin2b

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Question 3 coming up in one minute >>>>>>> #admin2b

japhillips0722 May 2 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@GenieneD Many T's have a perspective on how things should be & refuse to deviate from their belief system; it's 2016 & not 1996 #admin2b

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:27 PM EDT

Q3-How has the community been included in conversations about behavior? #Admin2B #kcedu #team512

japhillips0722 May 2 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A3 I don't think they are involved enough. The community must be open to hear the truth about the misbehavior of "our kids"#admin2b

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:29 PM EDT

Slight change of topics for the next 30 minutes.... here we go! #admin2b

FrancesDeVaughn May 2 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A2 Sending S's to the principal's office, separating the S's from the class, redirecting by focusing on positive behavior. #Admin2b

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3. This is tricky because it does take a village- these are future employers and leaders . #admin2b

japhillips0722 May 2 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3 They should be able to offer us insight into the problems they see in their neighborhoods & honest feedback on our work #admin2b

japhillips0722 May 2 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A3 The community can't look at it like it's THEM against US. Kids need to see parents and Ts standing United. #admin2b

FrancesDeVaughn May 2 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A3 I just attended a community mtg on bullying, but it was not initiated by the district. 1/2 #admin2b

japhillips0722 May 2 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@FrancesDeVaughn How'd it go? #admin2b

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:34 PM EDT

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:36 PM EDT

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:37 PM EDT

Q4-How can you support Ts with discipline problems and still empower Ts to use you less? #Admin2B #kcedu #bcsed #team512

FrancesDeVaughn May 2 @ 8:37 PM EDT

The community is invited to School Board Mtg to voice concerns, but more opportunities are necessary to obtain input. #admin2b

japhillips0722 May 2 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A4 Give strategies that have worked for you with similar students in the pass; mediate a meeting between the teacher & student #admin2b

robinsonchris7 May 2 @ 8:38 PM EDT

Q4: #admin2b trust between admin &Ts is needed in conjunction with action plan created together with follow through

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@robinsonchris7 So glad you mentioned the follow through. I see most frustration when plans are there but Ts still feel alone. #admin2b

FrancesDeVaughn May 2 @ 8:40 PM EDT

For real solutions to discipline problems with need the ongoing support of all involved parties, most importantly the students. #admin2b

japhillips0722 May 2 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@robinsonchris7 The first thing would be to just listen to the concerns of the community without answering back #admin2b

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@japhillips0722 yes - I think hearing from both parties and teaching them how to speak respectfully to each other. Yes even Ts ! #admin2b

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@japhillips0722 LOVE! #admin2b

japhillips0722 May 2 @ 8:42 PM EDT

Many Ts feel that Admins has forgot how the "grind" of the classroom really is when it comes to discipline #admin2b https://t.co/F4WPVzwf9e

robinsonchris7 May 2 @ 8:38 PM EDT

Q4: #admin2b trust between admin &Ts is needed in conjunction with action plan created together with follow through

robinsonchris7 May 2 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@GenieneD @japhillips0722 what do you do to inspire other leaders to see & jump on this vision? #admin2b

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A4. Help Ts set up the culture of caring in their room. Support them when they need you .@GenieneD #admin2b

The1sWhoDo May 2 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A4: Model lessons and classroom management. Have them observe Ts who've got it down. Keep supporting! #admin2b

japhillips0722 May 2 @ 8:44 PM EDT

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@The1sWhoDo Hey Bret - great to see you here #admin2b

japhillips0722 May 2 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@robinsonchris7 @GenieneD Other leaders must see how it fits into what they are passionate about #admin2b

FrancesDeVaughn May 2 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A4 Relationship with S's reduce discipline problems. Focus on S's strengths, redirect negative by focusing on positive #Admin2b.

robinsonchris7 May 2 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A5: #admin2b the approach of the task; use team building approach to make a point about topic or the way to approach a situation

MrsMurat May 2 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@japhillips0722 @robinsonchris7 listening is very under rated. Need to listen to listen, not in preparation to respond. #admin2b

japhillips0722 May 2 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@FrancesDeVaughn @The1sWhoDo key word you used... EFFECTIVE #admin2b

The1sWhoDo May 2 @ 8:50 PM EDT

We need to be models of effective student management when we work w/ kids. Share w/ Ts how you do it #admin2B https://t.co/ngRhQ1cEJn

FrancesDeVaughn May 2 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@The1sWhoDo @japhillips0722 Seeing effective student discipline in action is extremely beneficial.

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:51 PM EDT

Final question coming up in one minute #admin2b

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A5. individual relationships plus staff as an entity. Don't let a few pull you off course. #admin2b Happiness Advantage is great for climate

robinsonchris7 May 2 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@The1sWhoDo Where would you find such a resource? #admin2b

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:52 PM EDT

Q6 How can parents help you build and maintain a positive school climate? #Admin2B #kcedu #bcsed #team512

japhillips0722 May 2 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A5 1st thing, IDENTIFY who truly wants to be at the school. Those people should be asked to be active participants of your team #admin2b

FrancesDeVaughn May 2 @ 8:53 PM EDT

Balancing the two is easier said than done. Continuous climate building no matter how small will establish an environment ... 1/2 #admin2b

The1sWhoDo May 2 @ 8:53 PM EDT

I’m keen to hear ideas... Been in 5 schools on 4 continents, school culture depends largely on community culture #admin2B

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@The1sWhoDo Agreed - but I do think school climate is different from culture. #admin2b

japhillips0722 May 2 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A6 Strong PTO participation; parent attendance at school events outside of sporting events; communication with teachers #admin2b

The1sWhoDo May 2 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@GenieneD No doubt but sometimes the local culture dominates. I’m finding that Latin America is very different from Asia! #admin2B

FrancesDeVaughn May 2 @ 8:56 PM EDT

of caring & empowerment which will encourage staff to work on goals which have been co-developed by & communicated w/ them 2/2 #admin2b

robinsonchris7 May 2 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A6: #admin2b select who is on your bus & use them to help others ride the bus

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A6. Having parents constantly present in the building - and empowering them to reinforce the school expectations of behavior! #admin2b

The1sWhoDo May 2 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A6: All that being said, engaging parents in their child’s education is the most valuable thing you can do! Bring them to the table #admin2B

GenieneD - Moderator May 2 @ 8:58 PM EDT
