Hi
Carl from Avonsleigh Australia
Q3: Once you lose trust, it is impossible to return.
A2 Open-mindedness and an attitude to learn=winning combo, Reuben.
Glad you are here, Brother!
A3 Loss of trust can happen in an instant! If we invest in building a strong sense of trust, it may survive a bump in the road.
A3: Trust has an effect on both our hearts and minds, we can rationalize and feel trust and know when the trust bond is broken
it's essential for sincerity to be present.
A2) We create a common mission that we all believe in. If we all know our why we can build trust.
Thanks goodness. This chat has been short on GIFs.
A3: One false move can break and lose trust and it may never be regained.
A3: True, in personal and professional relationships. A single phrase can destroy the trust built up through years.
A2: Making sure those you work with know how important they are to the team. Gratitude
A3: easy to lose when you don't keep Ss first. Also, tough to gain when you don't show empathy to Ss
A3 I'm torn-this statement isn't very hopeful. I'd like to think optimism has its place.
YES! Welcome! Awesome to have you at - I was in Canberra last spring with

Agree so much. Had a situation that was blown out of proportion where a parent complained. Had trouble trusting after that
Great answers coming from tonight . Glad I am here.

Q3: is: Respond to this statement: Trust is the hardest thing to find/gain and the easiest to lose. https://t.co/Mk7ZJz4VWJ
Capitalize on each and every victory on the road to progress. https://t.co/ZJEjqBvzGx
A2) I try to build trust by acknowledging there is a process and acknowledging the growth and changes I see over time.
Absolutely, we are the guides on our students journeys.
Your statement helps clarify my thinking. There's a difference bet surface trust and deep trust, isn't there?
A3: Trust shouldn't have to be gained in our profession, but once it's broken it's very hard to rebuild. Stay focused on kids 1st!
often I find compliance issues create a time suck easy to get stuck but those come after 3
A3-Treasure it once you've earned it and continue to nurture it
A3: That's why honesty is sooooo important. Mistakes happen. How you respond makes the difference.
A3: Greater emotional buy in within a relationship = greater the impact when trust is violated= the harder it is to regain.
A3: Trust easily lost often through misunderstandings or miscommunication. Always address personally and with student focus.
A3) I still have trouble overcoming & winning back ppl for decisions made a decade ago.
A3: When trust is lost it pollutes an environment. It's almost like a "cancer". It effects everything.
Q3: Trust takes months and years to develop and can be broken in seconds Choose words and actions carefully
Beautiful place in spring (not so in winter)
Ever heard the one about a man with a hammer always sees nails?

A3: Trust is an investment of time and one's soul. It takes intentional relationship building in order to establish it.
A3 A first impression is the one thing you'll never be able to redo. Trust takes time & consistency to build, w/out 2nd chances
After you've lost being able to trust someone- often it is difficult to allow yourself to trust others especially at work.
I agree! trust can be regained https://t.co/XSd64qnRYI
A3 Cannot take trust for granted. It must be nurtured. Although it can be regained, it's never really the same.
A3) I am cautious but I am willing to trust again. If we do not give that opportunity as leaders how can teachers give it to kids?
Thanks for being there! I had a blast!
A3 I don't disagree. But, a genuine I'm sorry can go a long way. As well as a change of practice.
No. I haven't heard that before.
A3: I am responsible for my actions and take ownership of my mistakes. Staff and community respect that.
So true. If we always work toward building the strongest trust possible (deep trust) people will understand.
A3: Honesty goes a long way-don't say anything that you wouldn't mind being quoted as saying
Oh no-just said this to someone else in the chat! But you used visuals. Nice!
A3: You have to be fully invested to gain trust but it can be taken again quickly.
I try to let it go if I see change. I believe in change and process.
A3 leaders have to be willing to forgive sending message that mistakes happen, and we must still move forward. Stay in the moment
I would say same thing not just about student learners but adult learners as well https://t.co/nlfrAAE8nX
A3: easy to lose when you don't keep Ss first. Also, tough to gain when you don't show empathy to Ss
A3: Key word? Intentional. Period. https://t.co/8JMi8pr1Wf
A3: Trust is an investment of time and one's soul. It takes intentional relationship building in order to establish it.
Yes! I'm reading Crucial Conversations: https://t.co/KYr6HxwtwZ Feeling a sense of safety and equal intentions is key
Great quote to go along with this, Eric!
A3: Be willing to shift the paradigm of thinking & doing in order to build it. Once its solid, do everything possible to keep it.
Absolutely!! I'm a firm believer in grace...extended by me and hopefully to me! https://t.co/bJKlZqCs6x
A3) I am cautious but I am willing to trust again. If we do not give that opportunity as leaders how can teachers give it to kids?
Part of why I enjoy working - Even as district level admin, I can still be engaged in lrng w/ Ts & Ss
A3: when a leader breaks trust... The whole campus culture changes! Ts talk... And so they should!!
So would I. Even more so https://t.co/02Hgp7NY6w
I would say same thing not just about student learners but adult learners as well https://t.co/nlfrAAE8nX
A3: easy to lose when you don't keep Ss first. Also, tough to gain when you don't show empathy to Ss
A:2 giving those around me leadership responsibilities! Another demonstration of trust. I can't do it alone anyway!
A3. Trust is earned over time. It can be lost in a heartbeat if you are not true to your word.
A3) We must be vulnerable and willing to trust again for our decision to not trust may impact others (even if done unintentionally)
A3 Trust builds a strong foundation. If we falter, we can still stand on solid ground with colleagues.
and if you have a divergent thinker, honor that voice to blend with yours.
just doing my thing. Committed to learning. Everyday.
same here-we keep tally on our board in our office & my principal & I compete to see who gets in more
You're on fire 🔥 tonight Dennis!!! https://t.co/O2VhNONjEW
A3) I am cautious but I am willing to trust again. If we do not give that opportunity as leaders how can teachers give it to kids?
Yes. A willingness to be vulnerable. https://t.co/9coDIA0Y2V
A3: I am responsible for my actions and take ownership of my mistakes. Staff and community respect that.
great to learn with you guys!
A3 Without trust, relationships cannot be built. Lose it and start again.
A:3 100% after...something that can take years to build can crumble in seconds. Have to be aware of this at all times
I find that students do to.
We are still chatting on - come on out!
Everyone is capable of breaking trust. We are an imperfect species. Grace is necessary!
A3. Without trust, it's hard to move forward.
I love it! We have to model growth mindset everywhere. Relational Resilience must be exemplified!
A3: 100% agree! Something that can take years to build can crumble in seconds. Have to constantly keep this in mind
Looking in from Michigan - I know you're tolerant, but don't worry I am not a Wolverine
***Q4 is coming up in one minute!
for sure! Think of how much better we are off today than yesterday? Bam!
I agree, sometimes just saying it is more appreciated than going in circles
A3 If we are not intentional in our purposes, nothing gets done. Trust-Build Relationships-Act Cohesively
A3: trust takes time, relationship building, follow through...it's hard to trust those who make promises yet don't follow through.
I don't hold onto the past and can never hold a grudge past 30 minutes. As long as Ss are #1 we all win.
So important that we recognize the power of grace in our personal and professional lives.
https://t.co/RazljynTC5
Everyone is capable of breaking trust. We are an imperfect species. Grace is necessary!
A3: It could take years to develop rapport but minutes or a few words to lose it.
YEAH! and are co-moderating!
Early night for me. Thanks for the invite to .
A3: live through transparency. Stick to your values. Be present and live in the moment. Understand the meaning of empathy.
A3. We can't always control what happens, but we can decide how to respond. If we lose trust, when and how do we rebuild it?
And the gems can be just exciting new discoveries
A3 is trust "lost" sometimes an excuse to not do?
A3) If trust is so easily broken, did it ever exist 🤔🤔🤔
Live the idea of are you listening to learn or listening just to respond https://t.co/BlKXKwAjxO
A2. Being "present" in conversations and listening with my eyes, ears, and heart.
Perfectly said. Not everyone is like that unfortunately. https://t.co/qES1fgBUhC
I don't hold onto the past and can never hold a grudge past 30 minutes. As long as Ss are #1 we all win.
A3:As leaders, when someone loses our trust is our duty to give that S a 2nd chance?Does that build others trust in us?
A3) Can I challenge this paradigm? I honestly believe: I trust you until you give me a reason not to.
A4: Invest. Invest. Invest some more. Listen. Listen. Listen some more.
Amen to that! Thank goodness for grace & forgiveness.
A3 Faltering is but a misstep away from continuing on the journey.
So true. Worked with a principal who really trusted her Ts and it was amazing how Ts worked to get better.
A4: Time to go back to bare bones. Own the wrong, own the fault. Meet in the middle. Take the high rode. Learn? We are human.
A4-If trust is lost own your part in causing it to be lost-be honest about what caused it to be lost and work to rebuild
thanks Monica! Excited to learn with you!

A4: Time to go back to bare bones. Own the wrong, own the fault. Meet in the middle. Take the high rode. Learn? We are human.
Ahhhh! Late to ! Trust me, it wasn't intentional. Get it? Trust me?! 😋
Couldn't agree more. https://t.co/NmUduDyAMZ
A3: trust takes time, relationship building, follow through...it's hard to trust those who make promises yet don't follow through.
A3.1: living outside these means make trust difficult to keep. Don't live through a show you have to maintain
GLAD YOU MADE IT! Come back soon!
A3 I wonder if commitment is more vital than trust. We can be committed to a cause and not fully trust and still cause S success
A4: One day at a time. It takes time.
A4 Listen. Step back. Reflect. Apologize when necessary. Rebuild.
Have I mentioned how much I LOVE Ohio peeps and ? (no, I will never be a Buckeyes fan)
I think it goes to knowing your Ts and Ss and showing that you care.
A4 Keep your promises, be a beacon of light in the darkness, don't judge others. Don't gossip!
A4: What did you do to earn the trust to begin with? You were sincere. Gotta start there.

Trust + Consistency = great relationships https://t.co/1u8oNU2h6a
So true. Worked with a principal who really trusted her Ts and it was amazing how Ts worked to get better.
Absolutely! Common Ground. Meet people where they aer.
I see what you did there...metaphorically
A4: Being able to be real at all times allows for us to make mistakes and come back from lost trust.
not just hard. Nearly impossible. Whatever is moving won't be genuine. Great point, Lindsey.
A3: if you advertise a product or a situation then make sure you are willing and able to create that opportunity and/or situation.
I think this is what most people want from leaders-be real & allow others to do the same https://t.co/xbjMJkm0uV
A4: Time to go back to bare bones. Own the wrong, own the fault. Meet in the middle. Take the high rode. Learn? We are human.
A4: Life on life is messy. We realize this may happen at times. We talk about it and move on.
A4: First step, admit wrongdoings
A voice from from MI. A3 Trust between people should be natural if we believe in people. But once it's betrayed, it's gone.
A3 Depending on how many times trust has been harmed, a person may decide never to open up again- includes Ss, Ts, Admin... all.
A4) Be consistent
Have an understandable agenda.
Treat people with respect
Then when you need to go "against" they understand
I asked a former supt 'what Advice do you have for an aspiring admin?' He replied- 'never ever ever ever lie'
A4: Compromise is a stage of change. Find a middle ground.
A4: As my Ss and I explore, "Failure is an option, incl. trust. Failure isn't final--it's a learning experience.
A4: Rebuild trust by talking - not hiding or ignoring. Face to face. We can't expect this from our Ss if we're doing it as adults
A4: keep on trying and listening! Be affirming, approachable, and available
A4. Be honest about the situation and confront yourself in front of others.
same here, it's good to have a short memory, too much at stake to dwell on perceived slights.
A2: Being able to express your views or ideas w/o fear of reprimand!
Oh I do love you so...but thou shalt not convert our Arkansas children to Buckye fans. :) https://t.co/DoPZYQuWjh
and why not a Buckeye fan? They're always good! O-H
🚨 100% - I'll never follow or trust a leader who isn't humble and honest
A4 If I have wronged someone, I want to go to that person immediately and make it right. That's my intention.
A4: Rebuilding trust begins w/ acknowledgement & repairing. It is built again w/time & good works. The proof is in actions
A4: I love showing that our trust has grown by giving more responsibilities, complimenting growth to my Ts in front of Ss
we share an office so we are constantly pushing each other
A4 We are all human. Trust is never intentionally lost. Reflect, rediscover, redo & try not to.... repeat!
Good point! I think at first emotions can govern disappointment more firmly than logic or previous good outcomes
Like that "understandable agenda!" https://t.co/Q4nXym6QrJ
A4) Be consistent
Have an understandable agenda.
Treat people with respect
Then when you need to go "against" they understand
A4: transparency and honesty, especially with parents, is crucial to rebuild trust. Also have to be willing to change

A4) Does your "YES" mean yes? Does your "NO" mean no? We need to be clear & consistent!
A4: Just now joining ! Own up and apologize. Can be hard to do but speaks volumes. Don't dwell on it, but do better in the future.
A4 To err is human: Learning from failure and the mistakes of others are valuable lessons when building trust and confidence.
A4-must intentionally work to rebuild

A4: Being transparent & honest with those you work with is always the best even if they are not transparent & honest with you.
Q5. I think people make mistakes all of the time by trying to rush trust. It simply takes time and that's the best way.

A6 We need to know Ss as humans beyond the classroom. Your 50 minute class is a small paragraph on 1 page of their… https://t.co/fLZNpoaBRv
Support students learning & literacy in their first languages, & build 2nd language skills in .
I LOVE this!!!! What a way to form positive, lasting relationships! https://t.co/smhEbzgzM3
A6: at HMS this year, every student in the building has an adult mentor. Mentors intentionally building relationships with Ss
A6) Building trust involves establishing high expectations for all students. Students talk & your credibility grows.
So cool, ! You get it! Once Ss know you trust them, they will do anything for you & defend you! https://t.co/A5Y516jYjS
Funny... When I worked in a prison, that was my go to move (not the purse though) to get Ss to trust me.
I love when this happens! https://t.co/LFK8LnPpjl
A6 ...When they come visit after college and tell you I remember you because... Create a memorable experience for them.
That's huge! Such a powerful statement. https://t.co/0iLIHE5Rm7
When one of my son's teachers showed up at his soccer game, our respect for her went up 1000%
Yes, follow-through and consistency
Besides the learning is great for gifs
A6 find ways to get kids on winning streaks early in class, they have to trust themselves 1st(growth mindset) before trusting T
A6 Always, always remember your are teaching kids first and curriculum second.
A6: Treating them w/ the same respect we would use with adults
A6: listen. Care. Show up at their stuff (games, plays, musical stuff)
I am at the point where I truly believe scores go up when relationship and trust is there - so start there first!

challenge: as a Principal, try to stop 1 kid in the hall, and ask an intentional question...everyday! 1 kid/day
Okay, , thanks for another uplifting chat. Can't wait for my trip to West Virginia this weekend for an edcamp. WooHoo!
A5 provide Ss choice in assessment option, amt. of independent work, ownership in their learning goes a long way to build trust
A6: Give choice. Let Ss showcase their talents and share with an authentic audience.
When I see our Ts go out of their way to come to student activities it makes me very proud.
Thank you to my good friend, for co-moderating this evening. We are each better for it!
And when we do that we empower them and put them in purposeful control of their behavior & their learning
It has been an inspiring chat tonight. Thanks to all.
A6 never ever use sarcasm towards S if you want to build trust. Kids don't get it, most adults don't either.
. exactly! treating them like you would want to be treated yourself. They're human first, Ss second not just a number.
A6) Know what engages Ss. Car salesmen know aspects of cars and teachers/principals need to know different things to engage kids
Like it! https://t.co/Lxkx7RsmO0
