Hello! I am new to twitter chat! What are some ways that you guys engage students in a math class? I am an elementary teacher new to math. #READ5305#engagechat
Howdy #engagechat from Barbara, retired school counselor about to launch my consulting, mentoring, writing encore career. Today I hosted Poolside PD for a group of #schoolcounselors
Happy summertime; hope you're all well.
A1: Someone with vision has great insight, and can see potential in any situation. This person can take a penny and find a way to make a dollar out of it. #engagechat
A1: Vision to me is having a clear picture of the end result in mind to guide every decision that is made...as @WesterlySuper describes itโit means knowing the student we hope to graduate! #engagechat
A1: Vision is sensing with your eyes, being able to see something that may not be there yet. It's looking at possibilities, comparing what is with what could be. Our vision sees us dynamically transforming hearts and minds for the future. #engagechat
#engagechat Vision, seeing things in a unique way-being able to ignore the background noise and focus in on the harmony-when you can see beyond the box, across the battlefield and instinctively understand the nuances- the edges become less defined & options infinite

A1: I think vision means goals that we have for our students and for our schoo in general. Ex. My vision is that we are all part of a learning community that respects one another. #READ5305#engagechat
A1 The ability to see people and organizations as what they can become, rather than what they are, and crafting a collaborative plan to help them get there #engagechat
A1 #engagechat Vision to me is not merely optical but intuitive and organic- when you can connect with your surroundings on a deep level- the universe seems to talk to you

A1: Vision is the guiding principle. It's the foundation which hopefully promotes embracing students as individuals - recognizing their passions and finding their loves - that everyone is in tandem working toward. #engagechat
A1b: When I first met my husband, he said that he was going to Mars one day. I loved that he really believed that. He had a vision and he's still at NASA trying to make that dream a reality. #engagechat
A2 The vision is long term, what we hope to achieve over a length of time. Our mission is what we do daily, the focus of our actions, that help us achieve our vision #engagechat
A2: In my opinion, a vision is part of the initial plan, where the mission is the end goal. The vision provides the path and mission helps to guide the actions needed (hopefully I'm making sense..it's Friday and only one cup yet :) #engagechat
A2:ย Missionย Statement defines the objectivesย and its approach to reach those objectives. Aย Visionย Statement describes the desired future position.
#engagechat
A2: A mission is the plan, a vision is the philosophy - the desired beliefs of all staff and students in the community. Sadly, they often don't reflect what actually happens in a building - we need to practice what we preach! #engagechathttps://t.co/hCQkXeOgrc
A2 #engagechat A vision is a blueprint, directions for a quest. A mission is the campaign, the long march towards your goal. A mission can be small or mighty, either way it is action & progress that connects the two- ideas coming to fruition
A2: Vision requires planning and goal-setting to get to where you need to be.
Mission, to me, sounds more like full steam ahead, get out of the way, here I come!
#engagechat
A2 I view the mission as the end goal, and the vision is the view we have of how we can get there: our resources, support systems, necessary determination and imagination #engagechat
I totally agree on the vision part. Mission and goals are the same? I'm not a native English speaker and something seems lost in translation here... #EngageChat
A2 #engagechat A vision is a blueprint, directions for a quest. A mission is the campaign, the long march towards your goal. A mission can be small or mighty, either way it is action & progress that connects the two- ideas coming to fruition
A2 A mission is the guiding principles that everything is measured against - what we plan to accomplish, the end goal. A vision are all the possibilities within the mission - all the amazing things that can be learned, created, accomplished, how can we get there #engagechat
About that ... he truly believed it ... and the pragmatic part of me was thinking, "Yeah, good luck with that. We have bigger problems to take care of here on earth." He still has that big BIG dream and works on making it his mission possible every day! #engagechat

#engagechat A2 A vision is like the GPS in the car showing you your destination....A mission is like the steering wheel and accelerator to move you towards that destination. Without a clear grasp of your mission, you cannot realise your vision.
A2 #engagechat We all venture out on personal mission- they give us meaning & direction but without the vision & purpose we maight lose our way. The vision is the beacon- the light the mission- the lighthouse our tangible foundation our mindfulness that guides us on our journey
So if I understand you correctly, I think in Hebrew it would translate like this: a mission is your target and instead of goals we say success measures? #EngageChat
A2 #engagechat We all venture out on personal missions-they give us meaning & direction but without the vision & purpose we might lose our way. The vision is the beacon-the light the mission- the lighthouse our tangible foundation our mindfulness that guides us on our journey
A3: Herein lies the problem - vision doesn't affect school culture unless we make it do so. How many times are kids completely unaware of the vision? How often does the staff embody the vision? #EngageChat
A3: Without a strong, cohesive vision, staff and students all "do their own thing" - there's no goals, unified outlook. Teachers are working in cliques rather than as a community. Students are confused on what they're supposed to be learning. #engagechat

A3 When the team establishes the collaborative vision for success, it adds purpose to the culture and an effort expectation for all team members to pitch in and do the work necessary to reach our planned destination #engagechat
A2 The Vision is a broad overview of what we want to accomplish, while a Mission is what drives us to accomplish the objectives set forth in a Vision statement. #engagechat
#engagechat A3 Without a CLEAR and SHARED vision, the school culture is such that people feel they are adrift at sea, directionless, unsure and not finding meaning in what they are doing.
Love the focus on community. When we all are working toward the same goal, with a genuine desire to support students, our capacity for greatness multiplies #engagechat
A3: No vision? How or why would anyone bother to do anything if there was no goal, reason or plan. I'm not even talking about rebellion but worse, a shut down group of children. Yuck. #engagechat
#engagechat When the vision is clear, positive and a universal ideal- it creates a semblance of energy that resonates. But if the vision is based on a personal, isolated perception it can cause disruption and discordance. It is critical that the view is the same for everyone
A3: Every school I've ever taught in has had a vision statement. This is something that the school says they will do for the child. This is ours:
Students Graduate with the Knowledge, Skills & Behaviors to be College & Career Ready
#engagechat
A3 Greatly, because it sets the tone for things that need to be done. Moreover, it helps to influence people (Ps, Ts, & Ss) into wanting to do what is right for all stakeholders. #engagechat
A3: "I have a Dream" speech comes to my mind. The common dream or vision of the school when communicated clearly will serve as the IMPLICIT curriculum which will be the thread that binds stake holders #engagechat

A3 #engagechat A vision is malleable, not fixed. With new insight we broaden our focus and adapt our mindset. It is important in a school to maintain transparency and flexibility in order for every voice to blend into a common vocal
A3 When the school community buys in to the vision they are more likely to work together and persevere through any challenges. Itโs exciting to share a common vision! #engagechat#vision#ednav
Vision is what we want to become. When we have a vision our culture must align to create that vision. Its kind of like dieting if you want to lose weight but cant stop eating sweets your vision isn't aligning with your cultural expectations.
#engagechat
#engagechat A3 Just as a GPS may show different routes to your destination (vision), we must be clear as a school where we want to go even if we may differ on how we should go..So a powerful vision galvanises people to work together for a common purpose.
A4: incorporate the vision into your work. Your class in school X with vision X should look different from your class in school Y with vision Y. #EngageChat
A4: We started a full inclusion school in '01. Many of our Ss have continued to help students with disabilities after graduating 8th grade. Inclusive dance and sports programs, starting inclusion club in their high school. #engagechat@Hopetechschool
A4: Repeating it over and over again. It takes a lot of repetition to truly communicate what "you are." You cannot assume that everyone else knows what you know - it's not obvious! Practice and preach it constantly. #engagechat

#engagechat Like a photographer-a leader needs to keep in mind the perspective of both landscape, panorama (entire faculty & student body) but also portrait (individuality & creativity of teachers) great leaders merge both views into a picture- colorful, vibrant & representative
A4 Aleader models vision with consistent action. Their work continuously aligns with what they say they expect from the team. They do not vacillate but are steadfast in their efforts to help the team reach the vision. #engagechat
#engagechat A4 people believe and trust in a leader more by his actions than by his words...By sharing his/her vision is not enough....His/her actions must follow through daily for people to come to believe more strongly they have a leader who is visionary
A4 Leaders have to: Live and walk the talk. Putting things down on paper is fine. However, modeling what right looks like is difficult and require the nurturing of purposeful professional relationships with your peers. Lead by example and they will follow! #engagechat
A4: A leader needs to own the vision. Lead the teachers and students toward that vision with support, encouragement, training. Get their hands dirty. #engagechat

#engagechat A4. The Leader is always inviting the input, ideas, opinions for shared vision. The Leader also has the Hope and Faith that the school team/stakeholders will achieve our goals..
A4 The best way to model vision is through action...We definitely remember the times our leaders had an attitude of service...Being a servant can cast light on the most negative voice #engagechat
A2: Vision is outward, mission is inward. It's what's inside us that drives us to get things happening, to achieve our goals, regardless of difficulty. It's the reason why we do things, why we improve, why we push on. #engagechat
A great leader models vision #engagechat with objectivity, a broad view of what works, the outlook that opinions matter, that listening is key. Their Vision should be one of cooperation - when leaders listen, leaders are leading

A5: My vision is to enable Ss to be successful along content areas by boosting literacy skills, finding their voice, and being able to find info they need. Not an easy task, but that's where I'm at. It all starts with literacy, though. #engagechat
#EngageChat Mindfulness- stay calm, receptive to feedback & new ideas. Find joy in the present. Stay the course-keep moving forward-position on the track is not important, it is the fortitude and gratitude that will always grease the wheels of growth. Stay mindful always.
A5: Wow! My personal vision is to always do what's best for kids. To build those essential relationships with them. To challenge them and to excite them about learning! #engagechat

A5 Help Teachers see technology as a resource; not just bells and whistles. Working with one Teacher at a time and helping them understand #EdTech in plain English. Challenging them to try something new each semester while embracing failure as part of the equation. #engagechat
A3: More than a driving force, vision/mission is the glue that keeps the school moving and working together for a common goal. It sparks ideas within the group on how to be better, a silent cheer, if you will. #EngageChat
Absolutely! Pedagogy should always be first. Remembering to always ask if technology is the answer. What learning need(s) will it meet towards the learning outcomes? #engagechat
