gallianstone May 15 @ 7:13 PM EDT

A1. Top spot goes to my para. Amazing person who doesn't get enough credit. 2nd to admin #nhed

csousanh May 15 @ 7:13 PM EDT

A1 I'm fortunate to work with 2 really good admins, my AP & Curr Dir, but I feel at times all of my staff have a hand on the rope #nhed

edventures - Moderator May 15 @ 7:13 PM EDT

#NHed Q1a: How did you come to trust your educational "belayers"? What do they do that lets you climb high?

audrallurvey May 15 @ 7:13 PM EDT

A1: I am in my first year - still getting the lay of the land but my UA team and my admin team have been super supportive #nhed

gallianstone May 15 @ 7:14 PM EDT

A1 cont. knowing I have that support gives me the security to be creative, to step out of my comfort zone, to innovate on Ss behalf. #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem May 15 @ 7:14 PM EDT

@gallianstone Paras do not generally get the credit they deserve! They do SO much for SO little #NHed

SteeleThoughts May 15 @ 7:14 PM EDT

A1: My school counselor provides great support for me. She always encourages me and validates my efforts. #nhed

gallianstone May 15 @ 7:15 PM EDT

@DrMerriRajaniem Agreed. They are the unsung heroes of the education world. #nhed

csousanh May 15 @ 7:15 PM EDT

@audrallurvey you're just saying that cause I'm here. ;). JK - Love working with you!! #nhed

audrallurvey May 15 @ 7:16 PM EDT

A1a: It is tough, there is sometimes history and past relationships that I don't want to know about. Want to make my own judgements #nhed

gallianstone May 15 @ 7:18 PM EDT

.@audrallurvey I wish I knew better how to handle situations like that. I've had bad experiences stepping on land mines in the past. #nhed

edventures - Moderator May 15 @ 7:18 PM EDT

.@csousanh Good point, trust is earned over time, with demonstration and example. #NHed

SteeleThoughts May 15 @ 7:18 PM EDT

A1a: All relationships are predicated on trust. Developing rapport and trust in those around you is essential in building culture. #nhed

csousanh May 15 @ 7:19 PM EDT

@SteeleThoughts i'll echo that!! Every school I've been at, they're such an integral part of what we do. #nhed

gallianstone May 15 @ 7:19 PM EDT

A1a. Time is the ultimate arbitrator. Also, IME, the people who trust me are the ones I can trust. #Nhed

@edventures agreed it takes work but it's really great when the personalities click. #nhed

dbuttenaar May 15 @ 7:20 PM EDT

A1: the whole school community. Everyone is such a vital part of the whole of the S #nhed

audrallurvey May 15 @ 7:21 PM EDT

A2: My tools are my #nhslma cohorts as well as those in my classes at #plymouthstate as well as #pinterest #nhed and past experience.

DrMerriRajaniem May 15 @ 7:22 PM EDT

A2. Some of the most imp tools are active listening, relationships, trust, shared leadership, goal setting, Technology, PLN! #NHed

csousanh May 15 @ 7:23 PM EDT

A2 so many tools, I find a handshake (and all that goes with it) is a great tool, you have to talk to people and show them you care #nhed

guilfordt May 15 @ 7:23 PM EDT

A2: staff, @nhslma, students and administration #nhed

gallianstone May 15 @ 7:23 PM EDT

A2. Communication, flexibility, and (sometimes most importantly) humor. #nhed

edventures - Moderator May 15 @ 7:23 PM EDT

This is kind of a sidebar, but I'm looking for new topics and possible co-hosts for future #NHed chats. Drop me a DM!

dbuttenaar May 15 @ 7:24 PM EDT

gallianstone May 15 @ 7:26 PM EDT

@csousanh Great minds. :) #nhed

dbuttenaar May 15 @ 7:26 PM EDT

Q2: teachers and leaders in the school. Students who go beyond just for the love of learning something new #nhed

SteeleThoughts May 15 @ 7:27 PM EDT

A2: Before people will buy into your vision, they have to first buy into you. Relationships are foundational! #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem May 15 @ 7:29 PM EDT

@SteeleThoughts Relationships are KEY! With students, parents, staff, community...ALL stakeholders! #NHed

edventures - Moderator May 15 @ 7:29 PM EDT

#NHed A2: I've come to depend on a few great orgs: @nhste, @cosn, @essdack and my ability to cultivate relationships.

.@DrMerriRajaniem @SteeleThoughts HA! Jinx! #NHed

edventures - Moderator May 15 @ 7:30 PM EDT

#NHed Q3: Often our climbs become more challenging. How do you train or develop to reach your goals? https://t.co/qaT598nh0G

audrallurvey May 15 @ 7:31 PM EDT

A3: Keep reaching out, personal responsibility for learning, read, try things out, take risks. #firstattemptatlearning #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem May 15 @ 7:31 PM EDT

A3. Be intentional in setting goals and training. This is my professional goal for this school year #NHed https://t.co/Kt9pOyD3yW

gallianstone May 15 @ 7:32 PM EDT

A3. Keeping my PD both in and out of the box. Keeping an open mind. Ideas and techniques can come from unlikely places! #nhed

dbuttenaar May 15 @ 7:33 PM EDT

A3: Building capacity is so important. Make yourself redundant and you have done your job. #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem May 15 @ 7:33 PM EDT

A3. cont'd. As you train, climb, grow, you need to stop and reflect. #NHed

edventures - Moderator May 15 @ 7:33 PM EDT

.@dbuttenaar Great advice! I strive to work myself out of a job, so that I can invent a new one! #NHed

guilfordt May 15 @ 7:33 PM EDT

A3: Making connections, meeting people, trying new things. #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem May 15 @ 7:34 PM EDT

@guilfordt Absolutely! It's about growing and being a life-long learner, rather than becoming stagnant #NHed

csousanh May 15 @ 7:35 PM EDT

A3 that's when the orgs come in for me. Working w/groups like @nhmidleveled, @NELMS_info & Admin Assoc help provide info & support #nhed

guilfordt May 15 @ 7:35 PM EDT

Stagnation leads to extinction! #NHed https://t.co/55xlu2rgDW

@guilfordt Absolutely! It's about growing and being a life-long learner, rather than becoming stagnant #NHed

A3: It is essential to recognize the difference between a technical problem and an adaptive challenge. #nhed https://t.co/iYMJR7RHP4

We expect our Ss to do this...so should we! #Nhed https://t.co/snv8tM0GFp

DrMerriRajaniem May 15 @ 7:34 PM EDT

@guilfordt Absolutely! It's about growing and being a life-long learner, rather than becoming stagnant #NHed

csousanh May 15 @ 7:37 PM EDT

@audrallurvey I like the emphasis on personal responsibility but especially on taking risks! We all need to feel supported to do that #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem May 15 @ 7:38 PM EDT

@dbuttenaar You're absolutely right, but so many educators grow comfortable and resistant to change. #NHed

csousanh May 15 @ 7:39 PM EDT

@DrMerriRajaniem @dbuttenaar that's why having a system that encourages risk taking is so imp, frankly it's not synonymous w/Am pub Ed #nhed

edventures - Moderator May 15 @ 7:40 PM EDT

#NHed Q4: Sometimes we fall when we attempt our climb, how do you get back up? What helps you to try again? https://t.co/JTSLF0U93M

guilfordt May 15 @ 7:41 PM EDT

A4: FAIL- first attempt in learning and going to my PLN for support #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem May 15 @ 7:41 PM EDT

A4. When you're climbing, hiking, or doing something you enjoy, you get UP because you're motivated. Ss motivate me to get back up. #NHed

gallianstone May 15 @ 7:41 PM EDT

A4. It's all about the kids. Also, I miss teaching too much when I'm not. (I know, I tried leaving once... Didn't work.) #nhed

edventures - Moderator May 15 @ 7:42 PM EDT

@gallianstone Aw! #nhed

csousanh May 15 @ 7:42 PM EDT

A4 that's a mix of professional support & personal support from home. My wife & kids drive me to be better, to know more, to do better #nhed

gallianstone May 15 @ 7:43 PM EDT

@edventures burnout happens, but teaching is in my bones. #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem May 15 @ 7:43 PM EDT

@dbuttenaar THAT is the question! #NHed

SteeleThoughts May 15 @ 7:43 PM EDT

A4: This picture hangs in my office. I talk to Ss about the caption. "Rising above" is a conscious CHOICE! #nhed https://t.co/LnEqBF2t4Q

csousanh May 15 @ 7:44 PM EDT

A4 I feel the same way about many of my staff, Who make me better at what I do. I learn so much from them #nhed

audrallurvey May 15 @ 7:45 PM EDT

A4: I strive to be better for the Ss, I want to teach them how to be the learners they need to be for the future. Tech and personal #nhed

dbuttenaar May 15 @ 7:45 PM EDT

Ultimately it all comes back to our Ss. That one "but why?" question that puts everything in a whole new perspective #nhed

audrallurvey May 15 @ 7:45 PM EDT

@csousanh Awww! You're just saying that because I am here! #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem May 15 @ 7:46 PM EDT

@SteeleThoughts I've used Michael Jordan's quote about failure with Ss. #NHed

csousanh May 15 @ 7:46 PM EDT

@SteeleThoughts I opened up the last 2 Schl years w/ MJ stories & quotes. I have his pic in my office to Encouraging Ts to take risks #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem May 15 @ 7:48 PM EDT

@csousanh @SteeleThoughts I want to get it framed for my office. It's inspirational! #NHed
