Teacher leaders ... shared leadership ... turning into buzzwords ... what we need is a shared vision that puts kids first.

TED_ED: Wrapping up Q3, on to Q4
-
A2 inspirational leaders reflect their surroundings; they listen to others-find commonalities and puts a voice to others thoughts
-
They have to show your interest and why you do it. Otherwise won't reach exponential reaction
-
Yes, 'model those beliefs' https://t.co/vGXRYCBarl
-
-
A3: Build relationships with staff. Communicate clearly about your values and model those beliefs.
-
A2 Inspirational educational leaders engage students, cultivate their talents & reject "I can't do math", etc.
-
Q3 Ldrs have to live their WHY. EVERYTHING has to filter through it. Does it match your why, good, go for it. No? Don't do it!
-
Q4 What suggestions do you have for educational leaders to recruit educators who have the same beliefs? https://t.co/es0woYiVt7
-
We had all our teachers, custodians, and office staff wrote their hopes for our students this year. https://t.co/ism3e7XzqI
-
Think we are talking about different things. I'm referring to the values a school has defined as being important.
-
-
When the vision is cast and the work is consistent w/ that, and it's good for Ss, people will want to be a part
-
-
Core value ... BEST INTEREST OF THE KID ...
-
Sounds like a great idea to me!

So true https://t.co/gOWWiSxUGp
-
-
Teacher leaders ... shared leadership ... turning into buzzwords ... what we need is a shared vision that puts kids first.

-
-
Q4 What suggestions do you have for educational leaders to recruit educators who have the same beliefs? https://t.co/es0woYiVt7
-
A4. Transparent evals & visions with a checks and balances that roots out folks who are in the game for all of the wrong reasons
-
A4: Walk applicants around the school to see how they interact with staff and students and to see what they respond to.
-
Why are you yelling though?
-
A4 have recruits teach a class; get Ss take on the educator;same beliefs are ok; diversity is better;but same work ethic is great
-
A4: Ask creative Qs like does in interviews. 😉 No seriously, check Twitter, blogs, websites aligned w their beliefs.
-
Yes you will!!! I cannot wait!! :)
-
-
Let your light shine. Others will see it. Mission, vision and values work together for Ss success. https://t.co/aiq9TVLSeS
-
-
A3 Do you really need to attract people with the same values or should you create a shared vision? Values stem from culture
-
A4: Leaders have to make sure the vision and is outward facing. It will attract Ts wanting to work in that environment.
-
what a school has "defined" as important and how they act may be two different things.
-

Culture has many definitions. The culture of the school is different to an individual’s culture.

It's way more important to see effective practice than to have a good looking resume!

Absolutely! I can’t help but ‘judge a book by it’s cover’ when I am applying for jobs.
-
Definitely! But it would be good if we were all at least flavors of ice cream...or maybe sprinkles...or fudge
-
Yikes! Seems to be a growing problem, bc there is not much attracting people to the profession other than passion!
