#sunchat Michele Hill for NJ. Great subject for a chat!

AmyLynnRever May 28 @ 9:12 AM EDT

Having completed the schoolwork for admin/leadership, I do think it has value. Depends though on the path you want to take... #sunchat

MissNikkiIn5th May 28 @ 9:12 AM EDT

I think both are needed especially if moving into admin roles. Experience in the trenches working w kids is important. #sunchat

latoyadixon5 May 28 @ 9:12 AM EDT

What if we replaced the word experience with effectiveness. Isn't that what we're looking for anyway? #sunchat

Dr_LMR May 28 @ 9:12 AM EDT

I think it's a combo of both and not one being more important than the other. Life experiences count! #sunchat

susankotch May 28 @ 9:13 AM EDT

Also, taking classes for certs doesn't give you that "real world" experience that is needed on a daily basis. It's... different. #sunchat

AmyLynnRever May 28 @ 9:13 AM EDT

That being said, I wish there were more programs that focused on teacher leadership w/out going on admin path. #sunchat

HillMrispo May 28 @ 9:13 AM EDT

#sunchat Ppl are realizing that cert's and degrees do not always yield knowledge and experience.

Ree1reeWilson May 28 @ 9:13 AM EDT

Credentials qualify you for a role. Effectiveness quantifies your impact. Interesting that you can be qualified but not effective? 🤔#sunchat
