    It's hard to do because it also means we must be vulnerable. Using only our head is managing, not leading. #MEMSPAchat

    A) If we LOVE our students and staff anything is possible! Without it, the best materials, intentions, events, etc. mean nothing. #MEMSPAchat
  • RichardKlee1 Feb 14 @ 8:14 PM EST
    A1: It is always a point I make in teacher interviews. You must love kids or your content area, but if you don’t have both eventually you’ll become frustrated. #memspachat
  • DavidMurphy_RCS Feb 14 @ 8:14 PM EST
    Dave from Rochester. Hi all- Is it wrong that I’m not a huge fan of Valentines Day in elementary school? Make me a heart-grinch??? #MEMSPAchat

    A2: #memspachat I have to be passionate for what we do whether it’s building relationships with Ss and their families, reading, or learning. We must model and embody what we want in our school community and it’s mission.
  • PostleBrown Feb 14 @ 8:16 PM EST
    A2: to truly believe in the mission, all kids being cared for and supported everyday and provided with a world class education to open up every opportunity available to them, don’t show it just with words, with actions, with priorities, with resources #MEMSPAchat

    In reply to @MrDomagalski, @BLichtenwalner
  • JonLeFevreSISD Feb 14 @ 8:18 PM EST
    A2 - everyone may have a different mission which is great because we can cover all the bases. If we love our individual mission then we won’t stop until that mission is accomplished. If you don’t love it, you’ll eventually neglect it. Stakes are too high for neglect. #MEMSPAchat
  • JWSwegles Feb 14 @ 8:19 PM EST
    A2: by serving the needs of the Ss Ts and Ps before our own and being a source of support #MEMSPAchat
  • vickilwilson5 Feb 14 @ 8:19 PM EST
    A2: The mission guides the day to day work in an organization. As the leader you must live and love the mission and model it for all. All must invest their heart into the mission - the leader drives this expectation #memspachat

  • cmemerickAMS Feb 14 @ 8:21 PM EST

    In reply to @MrDomagalski, @BLichtenwalner
  • mrandrewlindsay Feb 14 @ 8:24 PM EST
    A3: I use the word love boldly. I talk about my “philias” love with some of the students who come “visit” me frequently. I want them to know I love them. I want the staff to know I love them. I want to reach their heart so that my words can reach their head. #MEMSPAchat
    In reply to @MrDomagalski, @BLichtenwalner
  • Cardwell16 Feb 14 @ 8:25 PM EST

    Question 5 is coming up quick on #MEMSPAchat - posted by @MrDomagalski on this Valentine's Day edition.
  • megancoonan Feb 14 @ 8:33 PM EST
    A4: It's not personal! Love character by remembering that sometimes this work is tough and heartbreaking and Tt's and Ss's sometimes have rough days and bring there to support them. Don't take it personal!! #MEMSPAchat
  • MrDomagalski - Moderator Feb 14 @ 8:34 PM EST
    Q5: The @PosProject explains LOVE as a character strength where “you value close relationships with others and being close to people.” Give an example of how YOU do this as a leader. #MEMSPAchat Credit to @PosProject - https://t.co/ep2ZxDIN2m
  • HeatherCheevers Feb 14 @ 8:34 PM EST
    A1~ we ask our kids to choose love...they need to see us choose love as well. Especially when the tough conversations arise, I tell the student I still love them. They will mess up. But, if we choose love, we can move on. Same with staff. #ChooseLove #MEMSPAchat
  • NurseDee3 Feb 14 @ 8:34 PM EST
    A4:Character ❤️ is all about the STORY. We all have one. Learning to embrace another's story while sharing our own, builds the utmost in great character.. #MEMSPAchat
  • cmemerickAMS Feb 14 @ 8:36 PM EST
    A4: Modeling & demonstrating personal interaction. Embracing failure as opportunities to grow. Consistency in support. Cheering on progress. Encouraging creativity. And always being willing to try something new. #MEMSPAchat
  • ifireup Feb 14 @ 8:36 PM EST
    A5: sharing other side of this question...my 1st principal had fun with Ss, wanted the best for Ts and Ss, encouraged and help us excel...present at conferences, author books, move to admin, seek advance degrees...he cared, we knew, we would move mountains for him. #MEMSPAchat

  • SSpickard Feb 14 @ 8:37 PM EST
    A5: Getting to know people, their goals, likes, and aspirations demonstrates the value you have for them. In addition, working in time for both team building and collaboration is a commitment to close relationships. #MEMSPAchat
  • JonLeFevreSISD Feb 14 @ 8:38 PM EST
    A5 - Building close relationships can create a feeling of family and unity. A place where everyone feels safe and connected. From there we find comfort in taking risks because we know it’ll be OK if we make mistakes. That’s a good place to be when you’re learning. #MEMSPAchat
  • MrPittinato Feb 14 @ 8:38 PM EST

  • MrDomagalski - Moderator Feb 14 @ 8:41 PM EST
    Q6: What things could you do more regularly as a leader to add more “LOVE” in your workplace? #MEMSPAchat
  • BuckmasterKelly Feb 14 @ 8:41 PM EST
    A5: when the team feels connected and *loved* - that translates to a safe place to take risks and go the extra mile - that also speaks to students #MEMSPAchat
  • marr_ellen Feb 14 @ 8:41 PM EST
    A5part2: Intentionally seek to put people first, connect before correct, be vulnerable #MEMSPAchat
  • BillK76 Feb 14 @ 8:41 PM EST
    A5 it's a people business. The people/kids we work with need to know we care about them beyond the job and beyond the grade/task. It's much more than that and can be shown in a variety ways. #MEMSPAchat
  • RichardKlee1 Feb 14 @ 8:41 PM EST
    A5: If you don’t really know someone and their struggles it is hard to show love. Love is understanding. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #MEMSPAchat

  • kellycole209 Feb 14 @ 8:42 PM EST
    #MEMSPAchat close relationships can often help build character. There’s a saying: “show me your friends, and I’ll show you you” can often show our character and our personal care for those around us.

  • BuckmasterKelly Feb 14 @ 8:46 PM EST
    A6: planning more activities for staff to look forward to, it’s amazing how an Oreo showdown pumped people up in the lounge! -many messages of gratitude for something simple like that. #MEMSPAchat
  • JonLeFevreSISD Feb 14 @ 8:46 PM EST
    A6 - More targeted and specific feedback when I observe positives. Encouraging messages when someone needs a pick-me-up. Random phone calls to parents to let them know their kid ROCKS! Custard-filled donuts for our dedicated educational staff members! #MEMSPAchat
  • marr_ellen Feb 14 @ 8:46 PM EST
    A6: Give more time- professionally and socially to colleagues. Sometimes that 15min impromptu coffee leads to breakthrough with relationships. I also take recess duty when I can as thank you for coaching and PLC work. #MEMSPAchat
