        <![CDATA[<p><em>Bill Coplin is an award-winning educator, author &amp; social innovator with an impressive academic journey spanning six decades. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Sciences from Johns Hopkins University in 1960, followed by a Master of Arts in 1962 and a Ph.D. in International Relations in 1964 from American University. From 1977 to 2021, Coplin was the Director and Professor of the Public Affairs Program at the Maxwell School of Syracuse University and the College of Arts and Sciences.</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>Coplin started his academic career as a professor at Wayne State University in 1964. His dedication and scholarship led to his appointment as an Associate Professor in 1967 and, ultimately, the granting of tenure in 1968. In 1969, Coplin transitioned to Syracuse University, where he continued his research and innovative educational strategies.

        <![CDATA[<p><em>Samantha is a Psychologist, Speaker, Best Selling Author, and Host of The Be Ruthless Show, a podcast dedicated to Making Noise and Breaking Stigmas. She helps people around the world turn their pain into their power by guiding them to be their true selves, not who they think they need to be, by embracing their differences and recognizing that their perceived weaknesses are their biggest strengths, and by living life on their own terms.  Samantha’s mission is to change the way the world views both grief and  mental health, so people can speak about whatever issues they have and get the help they not only need but deserve without fear of judgment, labels, and repercussions Samantha is the proud founder of Griefhab, a 24/7 community open to anyone who has experienced a loss. After personally living through this, Sam realized just how much support she needed on a daily basis. She vowed to create these services so that others would have more support available in their times of need. In her free time, you can find Sam and her pups, Sassy and Dallas, on one of their outdoor adventures. They love living in Colorado and never miss an opportunity to explore their beautiful surroundings. Music fuels Sam’s soul, family means everything to her, and honoring her late husband, Jim, and making him proud gives her life daily purpose.</em></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Summary:<br></strong>In this episode, Samantha Ruth, shares her insights on transforming personal weaknesses into strengths, particularly focusing on anxiety and grief. Samantha discusses her mission to break the stigmas surrounding mental health and grief, emphasizing the importance of living authentically.

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Ben Franklin said it best. "Failing to prepare is preparing to fail."</strong></p><p>There are many times in life when we hit a roadblock or some difficulty arises that stops us short of our goal. I don't see that as a failure, but instead a need for more preparation. The great thing about making goals and improvement about a process rather than a destination is that we can always go as far as we have prepared for and rather than stopping, feeling defeated, just step back and prepare some more.</p><p>Looking at the improvement process in this manner helps us fight off that nasty inner voice that pops up from time to time telling us we aren't good enough or can't have our highest personal success. Realizing that how we show up dictates how we move forward is key. A negative mindset tells us that we can never succeed while a mindset focused on preparing helps us get there, even if it is the third or fourth time we have tried.</p><p><strong>Take the challenge and see how much you can get done!</strong></p><p>Want the Transcripts? <a href="https://drchristopherjones.substack.com/?r=18ckgp&amp;utm_campaign=pub-share-checklist"><strong>Get them on my Substack!</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Don’t Forget to Review the Show!</strong></p><p><br></p><p>I appreciate you checking out the episodes.

He has a bachelor's degree and two masters degrees in education.  While in the classroom, he was certified as a music teacher.  He taught Band, Orchestra, Choir, and general music at all levels, preschool through college.  Other items he has taught include swimming, Microsoft Office, SAP, Contract Management, Soft Skills, Customer Relationship Management, Presentation Skills, and Computer Skills.  He comes from a family of teachers. At one point in time, there were 13 active professional teachers in the family.  His spare time is all about his kids.</em></p><p><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></p><ul><li>Swimming lessons are a good example of the need to differentiate based on levels of readiness.</li><li>The most important aspect of supporting teachers is having resources available.</li><li>Schools should be passing strategies to families for learning to continue at home.</li><li>You engage people by reaching them on an emotional level.</li><li>We need to examine exactly what we are measuring with grades. They are a snapshot in time and reflect much more than what is actually occurring with student learning.</li><li>We have to make use of periodic reviews if we are to expect students to be able to retain information over the long term.</li><li>Use technology in a way that has students creating and solving problems rather than just extensions of traditional methods.</li><li>We have to teach students how to fail and fail correctly without punishing them with grades.

        <![CDATA[<p><em>Kathleen Weber is a former school counselor of 25 years and is a Certified, Accredited Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Practitioner.  She is passionate about bringing tools to educators and students that help to regulate emotions and calm the nervous system.  Prior to using these techniques, she felt like something was missing from her toolbox.  Students would return with the same issue time and time again, or they would return with the same theme, but different players. It wasn't until she learned how to use EFT that she felt she was truly making a difference.  In fact, she loved it so much that she started her own business to support educators experiencing burnout through individual sessions and to offer professional development for teachers, school counselors, and other school staff to bring these techniques into the classroom.</em></p><p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p><ul><li>EFT techniques, help us sit and unpack or comfort our emotions by relieving stress in our body and nervous system.</li><li>EFT is centered on severing the tie between our emotional reaction and the event that occurred.</li><li>Emotional dysregulation stops our ability to connect with the thinking part of our brain, therefore making talk therapy less effective in the moment.</li><li>EFT isn't about avoiding triggers, but instead moving through them and being able to help ourselves deal with them.</li><li>EFT is a gentle, personal technique that is incredibly powerful.</li><li>There is a demonstration of a regulation technique! It is called “Tap and Breath”</li></ul><p><strong>Stay in Contact<br>Email - </strong><a href="mailto:%20kathleen@kathleenwebereft.com">kathleen@kathleenwebereft.com</a><strong><br></strong><a href="https://kathleenwebereft.com/"><strong>Website</strong></a><strong><br></strong><br><strong>Don’t Forget to Review the Show!</strong></p><p><br></p><p>I appreciate you checking out the episodes.

        <![CDATA[<p><em>Kathleen Weber is a former school counselor of 25 years and is a Certified, Accredited Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Practitioner.  She is passionate about bringing tools to educators and students that help to regulate emotions and calm the nervous system.  Prior to using these techniques, she felt like something was missing from her toolbox.  Students would return with the same issue time and time again, or they would return with the same theme, but different players. It wasn't until she learned how to use EFT that she felt she was truly making a difference.  In fact, she loved it so much that she started her own business to support educators experiencing burnout through individual sessions and to offer professional development for teachers, school counselors, and other school staff to bring these techniques into the classroom.</em></p><p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p><ul><li>EFT techniques, help us sit and unpack or comfort our emotions by relieving stress in our body and nervous system.</li><li>EFT is centered on severing the tie between our emotional reaction and the event that occurred.</li><li>Emotional dysregulation stops our ability to connect with the thinking part of our brain, therefore making talk therapy less effective in the moment.</li><li>EFT isn't about avoiding triggers, but instead moving through them and being able to help ourselves deal with them.</li><li>EFT is a gentle, personal technique that is incredibly powerful.</li><li>There is a demonstration of a regulation technique!

        <![CDATA[<p><em>Meet Mike, a passionate coach, mentor, and leader dedicated to fostering positive change through the principles of MIRA: Mindset, Intention, Right Action. With 17 years of experience in guiding, leading, and building national programs designed to teach, train, develop, and inspire, Mike brings a wealth of expertise. His goal is to instill positive psychology principles and inspire communities of all sizes to become organizations for good. Recently venturing into Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), Mike aims to further amplify his impact. As the founder of Simple Healthy Life, Mike is committed to guiding individuals and communities towards personal and collective growth. He inspires introspection, fosters growth, and creates environments where personal and organizational transformation thrives.</em></p><p><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></p><ul><li>Take the challenge of accepting a compliment.</li><li>Whether you accept people (or act) as a visitor or a guest has a huge effect on the community. Just ask Disney!</li><li>Your community is ultimately you.</li><li>If we want to be in better communities, we have to bring our best selves to that community. That is how they are created.</li><li>The more you intentionally act with pure intention to the best of your ability to create your own success, the more people will come into your life that support you.</li><li>We need to start mimicking the qualities of blue zones to build stronger communities. People who exist in stronger, more socially connected societies live longer.</li><li>We need people that are brave enough to implement SEL on a consistent and ingrained basis.</li></ul><p><strong>Stay in Touch:<br>Email </strong>Mike at: mjames5526@gmail.com<br><strong>Call </strong>Mike at: (781) 367-9298<br>Check out<strong> </strong><a href="https://www.simplehealthy.life/"><strong>Mike's website</strong></a><strong></strong></p><p>Don’t Forget to Review the Show!<br><br></p><p>I appreciate you checking out the episodes. <strong>I would mean a lot to me if you took a minute right now to subscribe, rate, and review on</strong><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/seeing-to-lead/id1556546037"><strong> iTunes</strong></a><strong>,</strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1ggQyKZrXSOoiQ3TH6WCBq?si=31c0e41484c24ee5"><strong> Spotify</strong></a><strong>,</strong><a href="https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/efd36569-00c1-4a8c-a3c2-2668d7d55959/seeing-to-lead"><strong> Amazon</strong></a><strong>, or</strong><a href="https://feeds.transistor.fm/seeing-to-lead"><strong> wherever you listen</strong></a><strong>! </strong>It helps the show out a lot!</p><p><strong>Who am I?</strong></p><p><br>I’ve been an educator in Massachusetts for 23 years.  I’m finishing my 16th year as a building leader.  I’m a teacher centered Principal and passionate about continuous improvement and the idea that success is not a destination, but a process.

Increased focus on carving our specific time and being present during that time helps increase both of those areas. The result is a better relationship.</li><li>Self esteem suffers after multiple failures to reach our goals and achieve success. Focusing on the "basics" in a consistent manner sets us up for increased success. Once we reach a few goals, our self esteem begins to increase. </li><li>Focus is one of the basic elements to success. Without it, we run into multiple problems that always lead to us falling short of our goals. As soon as we turn our attention to what we need to do and shut out the distractions, everything about our situation starts to improve.</li></ul><p><strong>Don’t Forget to Review the Show!<br></strong><br></p><p>I appreciate you checking out the episodes. <strong>I would mean a lot to me if you took a minute right now to subscribe, rate, and review on</strong><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/seeing-to-lead/id1556546037"><strong> iTunes</strong></a><strong>,</strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1ggQyKZrXSOoiQ3TH6WCBq?si=31c0e41484c24ee5"><strong> Spotify</strong></a><strong>,</strong><a href="https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/efd36569-00c1-4a8c-a3c2-2668d7d55959/seeing-to-lead"><strong> Amazon</strong></a><strong>, or</strong><a href="https://feeds.transistor.fm/seeing-to-lead"><strong> wherever you listen</strong></a><strong>! </strong>It helps the show out a lot!</p><p><strong>Who am I?</strong></p><p><br>I’ve been an educator in Massachusetts for 23 years.  I’m finishing my 16th year as a building leader.  I’m a teacher centered Principal and passionate about continuous improvement and the idea that success is not a destination, but a process.

        <![CDATA[<p>Through 23 years in Education, Jonathan has been at the bleeding edge of learning how digital tools (STEM, AR/VR, AI, environment sensors) and a focus on our humanity can boost the success of students everywhere. He has also learned by working with luminaries such as Dr. Rubin Puentedura (SAMR), Dr. Larry Johnson (NMC) and Prof Stephen Heppell (Learnometer), the FutureWe Community, and his current role as Chief Futures Officer at STEM Punks, how tools alone are not enough - but must be combined with futures thinking to truly transform lives.</p><p>To this end Jonathan is writing the first book in a series for fellow ‘Edunauts’ to be titled ‘Design Thinking 5.0’.  He is a globally awarded Innovator, Mars Society Ambassador, ISTE online presenter and CoSpaces and Merge Edu Ambassador.</p><p><br><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></p><ul><li>Transformational change can come from simple steps. It's just a matter of stepping back and objectively looking at how well learning is taking place.</li><li>It's critical to define learning goals before purchasing technology or else you just become an easy market for companies.</li><li>Professional development with new technology must not only focus on how the technology works, but also address learning goals and outcomes.

        <![CDATA[<p><em>Dr. Rachel Edoho-Eket (Ed-oh-eck-it) is a wife, mother, principal, public speaker, and author. With decades as a teacher and leader in public education, she has earned the reputation as a strong instructional leader, passionate educational advocate, and dedicated mentor. As the Principal of a top ranked school in Maryland, she is a life-long learner who strives for excellence not only for herself, but also for everyone she serves. Dr. Edoho-Eket’s belief in fostering meaningful relationships serves as the foundation for everything she does, and her highly effective teaching and leadership style continues to inspire up and coming aspiring teacher leaders. During her educational career, she has proudly served as a classroom teacher, instructional team leader, mentor teacher, Assistant Principal, and Principal.

        <![CDATA[<p><em>Julia Briggs was an educator for 12+ years, taught science and chemistry in the United Kingdom and then in Colombia, where she led the Chemistry team.

If you wait until you're ready, you will never start the change.</li><li>What we teach in school matters because we are creating humans who are expected to contribute to society. Some of those contributions may be good and some of those contributions may be bad, but either way, they are going to contribute. So, let's make it a positive contribution.</li><li>Sense-making is incredibly powerful because when you have that "ah-ha" moment you adapt and understand and become addicted to that positive reinforcement feel resulting in intrinsic motivation to be curious.</li><li>Opening the mind and being empowered brings success, which in turn breeds confidence.</li></ul><p><strong>Stay in Touch:<br></strong><a href="https://edtochangetheworld.com/"><strong>Website</strong></a><br><strong><br>SEEing to Lead Extras!</strong></p><p><br>Like the content, want to be a guest, or know someone who would?

        <![CDATA[<p><em>Johnathan has seven years of experience as a special education teacher at a therapeutic campus for students with emotional disturbance and four more years as an in-school suspension teacher at two middle schools. After discovering how in-school suspension programs are failing to meet the needs of our most at-risk students, Johnathan created a successful in-school suspension program to address the current disciplinary, academic, and restorative requirements of our student populations. After establishing successful ISS programs on two campuses, he made the decision to create a roadmap for others to follow in his latest book The Art of In-School Suspension.

        <![CDATA[<p><em>Vicki Wilson is an educator, author, consultant, and professional development presenter who has served children and educators for over 30 years as a teacher and principal.

Vicki is especially proud of the journey she took as a 16-year principal where she lead a school through a closing and merger, instituted a strength-based approach to instructional rounds empowering teachers to learn and grow from each other's strengths, and eventually led her school to become a nationally recognized Model PLC School by Solution Tree.  Under Vicki's leadership, Monroe became known as a student-centered school that values both student and adult collaborative learning. </em></p><p><br></p><p><em>In 2020, Vicki Published Lead With Instructional Rounds: Creating a Culture of Professional Learning, a Lead Like a Pirate Guidebook, with Dave Burgess Consulting.

        <![CDATA[<p><em>Vicki Wilson is an educator, author, consultant, and professional development presenter who has served children and educators for over 30 years as a teacher and principal. She is passionate about education - especially about adult learning and the value/impact it has on student learning.  Vicki's interests include educator learning, leadership, organizational change, progressive and innovative practices in education, and leveraging best practices at school to make an improvement so that all students get the best possible education. Vicki is especially proud of the journey she took as a 16-year principal where she lead a school through a closing and merger, instituted a strength-based approach to instructional rounds empowering teachers to learn and grow from each other's strengths, and eventually led her school to become a nationally recognized Model PLC School by Solution Tree.  Under Vicki's leadership, Monroe became known as a student-centered school that values both student and adult collaborative learning. </em></p><p><br></p><p><em>In 2020, Vicki Published Lead With Instructional Rounds: Creating a Culture of Professional Learning, a Lead Like a Pirate Guidebook, with Dave Burgess Consulting.

        <![CDATA[<p><em>Carla Mayrink is the director and co-founder of The Community for Learning, an International School in the Dominican Republic. For the past 32 years she has worked as a secondary language arts teacher, an academic coach, and school director. She presents workshops on new initiatives in education including restorative practices, student-led learning, coaching, leadership skills, and professional development. Her work on inquiry based professional development has been highlighted in Edutopia. She has presented at AMLE 2020 the Virginia ASCD 2020 Annual Conference, the Equity and Anti bias Conference 2021, the FETC 2022, and others. Carla shares teaching strategies and innovations on her blog, the teaching experiment.</em></p><p><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></p><ul><li>It's very important to continually experiment and learn new things.</li><li>Give students the opportunity to have their voice heard, research ideas, and implement them. They want to make their experience better.</li><li>Give students the opportunity to not only work cross curricular, but also across different ages so they build a larger network of friendships instead of just their own age.</li><li>Engaged and empowered students attend school and work harder than when they are conforming to a rule.</li><li>You need to continuously learn everyday of your life. If you're going to keep up with the pace the world is changing. To do that you need to know how to effectively self assess to see how you're doing.</li><li>Student think tanks.</li><li>Insert half days for professional development into every week. Remember that you must model the instruction that you are asking teachers to perform in the PD you are offering.</li><li>What if we didn't grade our teachers, but instead coach them and have them reflect on their success or progress as we ask students to do the same. Leaders have to teach teachers how to properly reflect.</li><li>Writing letters for discipline. It's a process, but effective for stopping and improving behaviors. Never make a student apologize if they don't want to.</li><li>Fear is faster when dealing with difficult behaviors.</li><li>We need to give up control if we are truly going to improve others to the point where they are the best that they can be.</li></ul><p><strong>Stay in Touch:<br></strong><a href="https://twitter.com/CarlaMeyrink">Twitter</a><br><strong>Blog</strong><br><strong><br>SEEing to Lead Extras!<br></strong><br></p><p>Like the content, want to be a guest, or know someone who would?

        <![CDATA[<p><em>Rachel Archambault, M.A. CCC-SLP is speech-language pathologist who specializes in trauma-informed care (TIC). Rachel found TIC after experiencing a traumatic event at work on 2/14/18. She was looking for ways to help her students who had just undergone trauma as well as herself. She realized that not only would this help for those specific students, but that TIC could be applied to any setting, any population, and with any age group. As an SLP, she offers a unique perspective to how trauma informed care falls under her professional scope of practice as well as for other healthcare professionals and educators.<br></em><br><strong>Key Takeaways:<br></strong>Trauma based practice should be something practiced before visible trauma occurs. It’s a mindset. The six pillars should be proactively practiced to reduce the impact of trauma when it occurs. It is much more effective when used to prepare rather than heal.</p><p><br></p><p>The 6 Pillars of Trauma Informed Practices</p><ul><li>Safety</li><li>Trustworthiness &amp; Transparency</li><li>Peer Support &amp; Mutual Self Help</li><li>Collaboration &amp; Mutuality</li><li>Empowerment &amp; Voice and Choice</li><li>Cultural, Historical, and Gender Issues</li></ul><p>Safety needs to be an ongoing, two way communication between teachers, staff, and admin to make sure that the individual needs of people are met.

        <![CDATA[<p><em>Mary Howard is a Nationally Board Certified Teacher and teaches 6th grade ELA and Science in Grand Island, New York.  She has found success using digital tools that not only make learning fun for her students, but encourage critical thinking, collaboration, and create a life-long passion for learning.  Whether the digital experience is related to Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics or promotes literacy, Mary believes passionately in the potential that technology has for reaching and engaging ALL learners. In pursuit of this passion, Mary has spent the past 15 years presenting at dozens of technology conferences including NYSCATE, STANYS and, ISTE among others.  She has become a globally recognized speaker on the topics of augmented reality and virtual reality and the Next Generation Science Standards and shares her strategies through her blog, yoursmarticles.com.  She has published numerous educational technology articles and has provided webinars on Virtual Environments, Virtual Reality, 3D Design, QR codes and digital engagement strategies.  Mary’s accolades include recognition as the 2018 International Society for Technology in Education’s Virtual Pioneer of the Year and 3 Silver Presidential Volunteer Service awards.  She was a New York State Teacher of the year finalist for 2018 and 2020 and is a New York State Master Teacher.  When Mary isn’t elbows deep in her technology initiatives, she is a mother of 3 boys and devotes her free time to refereeing youth hockey and volunteering within the hockey community.  She is an avid runner, Adirondack 46er and recently cycled across New York State on the Erie Canal.

      <itunes:summary>Victor Nixon is originally from South Carolina, but calls Texas home. He graduated with a BA in Psychology from The Citadel (Military College of South Carolina). He earned a M.Ed. in Educational Psychology from the University of Oklahoma. Victor also earned a MA in Counseling from Amberton University. He earned an Ed.D. in Curriculum and Instruction from Liberty University. Vic has over 20 years of public school experience in Texas. He was a behavior adjustment teacher in the elementary level before becoming an administrator. He has experience as an Assistant Principal at both the elementary and secondary levels. He is currently an Assistant Principal of attendance for North Mesquite High School in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Vic is a veteran and was in the Army for six years earning the rank of Captain. Vic is happily married (for 33 years) to a second grade teacher and he has a daughter who teaches fourth grade writing. Vic also has a son who works in logistics. He is an avid football fan and follows the New England Patriots. He has presented and taught at the campus and state levels. His most recent presentation reviewed differentiated instruction. Vic also has an article published addressing successful school leader traits. Key Takeaways:  Have a word set up to keep students engaged and help them feel as If they belong. You can't give awards to everyone or else they lose their meaning. Stickers, pizza, and lollipops. Oftentimes adults don't try things because they are uncomfortable with them, not the students. Small extrinsic incentives are not about the award, but instead about the intrinsic feeling of being valued and admiration from the teacher. Leaders need to give specific feedback to students after observing a class to make them feel more of a sense of belonging or encouragement. You need to go out of our way to include student and teacher voice and choice. Leaders need to increase engagement by setting the example and ensuring there is follow through on what they are asking for. Make sure you are leading by listening and delegating.

Key Takeaways:  People don't always know when they're ready to move up so they need to find a way to discover their true ability and readiness Showing up in leadership means showing up as yourself but also allowing others to show up as themselves. We need to make sure we learn how to not only lead down, but also lead up and lead around. Self awareness is the bridge between showing up and leveling up. Hope is the bridge between leading up and showing up The bridge between leading up and leveling up is mindset. High hope in people has a greater impact towards positive outcomes than low hope has a negative on high hope. We often try to oversimplify things and make them too basic to arrive at a clear answer in education.

Key Takeaways: Effective leadership is at the center of a Venn Diagram between courage and responsiveness. Leadership is something you get better at over time and through experience, but there is an innate component that some people have causing them to initially step forward. Organizations require a variety of leadership styles if they are going to work well. Leaders need to be open, honest, and clear about expectations  so that people can be comfortable and the best version of themselves. All leaders need to learn how to be good followers and aspiring leaders need to make sure they find someone to follow and learn from to be their most effective selves. Stepping up into a leadership position is about finding where your skills and talents match a need. People will not be interested in leading unless they find value in it. It's not about competence, but instead confidence. We would never step into positions of greater responsibility and accountability if we waited until we were ready. You should step in before you're ready because the fact that you're wondering if you can means that you are. The only reason you pause is because you aren't sure of yourself and need a little boost of confidence. Teaching viewed as a tree analogy when looking to support teachers.

      <itunes:summary>Crystal Frommert, M.Ed, has over 20 years’ experience as an educator in middle and high school. Crystal has taught math, computer science, and social justice in public, parochial, and international schools. Beyond teaching, she has served as an instructional coach, school board member, adjunct college instructor, technology coordinator, and assistant head of middle school. She has presented at local, national, and international educational conferences on topics ranging from social and emotional learning to technology integration. She currently teaches middle school math in Houston, where she lives with her husband, daughter, and fluffy dog. Key Takeaways:  Students spend most of their time from an early age with their families. The more we can Involve parents the better we can understand our students as individuals. Leaders need to know what style of communication works best for teachers by listening to teachers and being present and then helping by coaching. It's critical for leaders to show with their personality and their words that they are open for people to come to them without being judged. Leaders need to ask what it is you need from me? Email should be used to facilitate phone or face-to-face conversations. We should never be giving parenting advice because we do not know people's situations. Leaders need to model staying curious and being non judgmental by asking questions and digging deeper into what appears to be occurring. We need to communicate if we are going to offer each other grace and understanding. The ability to have difficult conversations needs to be taught in teacher preparation programs.

Key Takeaways:  Having a growth mindset is about being able to control your own future. Embracing uncertainty is about figuring out how to ask questions and the why of what you're doing.

He is the author of  Take AIM at Digital Learning: Activate, Innovate, Motivate and  Impact to Influence. Check out his blog at stefanowiczclass@blogspot.com Key Takeaways:  We need to recreate the structures to teach rather than just expecting it to happen. Leaders are facing a blank slate as they work to stretch people past their comfort zone because people have been out of their comfort zone for the last two years. Learning something on YouTube is going to teach you how to do it, but not understand how to apply it. We need to find ways to create and support teacher agency. It's essential to be aware of circumstances, surroundings, and how to apply the requisite skills to excel in a situation.  Moving people from motivation to commitment is the only way to make progress forward.  Education at any level has to go beyond a transactional experience by starting with what people are passionate about.  You can't be a coach and equipment manager at the same time.  You have to respect where people are to engage them in growth. Leadership isn't about implementing an agenda, but instead finding what the goals of those you serve are and then helping them achieve them.

Key Takeaways:  There's no better way to share what you love than to teach. It's important for us to create a memorable learning experience that students can bring outside of the classroom. We need to model the environment we ask our teachers to create. If people are engaged and having fun, they will attend to the important things. We say it, but we need to act on and understand that relationships are the most important thing in education. When you have good relationships and build trust, you can have honest conversations about how to improve. There is a difference for students between liking and respecting teachers. Meetings are secondary to what is going on in the classroom.  Stay in Touch: Twitter   SEEing to Lead Extras! Like the content, want to be a guest, or know someone who would?

      <itunes:summary>Rae Hughart is a Middle Level Math Educator in Illinois, creator of the Teach Further Model, Instructional Assistant Professor at Illinois State University, and the Director of Training &amp;amp; Development for the Teach Better Team.  Rae continues to facilitate rich discussions with educators around mastering personalized learning, providing targeted student-focused feedback, and the impact of incorporating purpose into student daily learning. Through building partnerships with local businesses, Rae continues to support educators in designing dynamic, impactful, effective, and connected content - showing the impact of teaching beyond the four walls of a classroom and altering a community into an authentic resource for developing leaders. After being inducted into the Illinois State University Hall of Fame in 2017, Rae was awarded the 2018 First Place Henry Ford Teacher Innovator Award for her innovative educational impact through the Teach Further Model. Additionally, Rae serves on several Educational Boards including the Association of Illinois Middle Schools (AIMS). Key Takeaways:  You always need to immerse your students in the why of the content before actually teaching them a content. The teach forward model allows teachers to create themed internships for students. Leaders can help teachers transition to focusing on the why instead of content by helping them network, getting the community into the school, allowing teachers the time and space to turn their lessons around and put the purpose first  and facilitating community contacts. There must be a clear connection between all the parts of the whole so that's systematic scalable routines are created. There are small specific strategies that can be employed for teachers to gain respect and all of the other things they deserve. Generic and organic conversations are excellent opportunities to create, explore, and cultivate new habits that improve us as people.

Key Takeaways:  If you want to create a culture of collaboration you have to be creative in finding time to support it. You have to create templates for teachers to use if you are to maximize the time and coach them up. If you are to track the success of kids you need to break learning up into periods of time that provide data. Good instruction starts with collaborative teams. One of his chapters lines out the whole system for improved teaching and learning. You need to create systems when you don't have certified personnel that are needed. Tight loose leadership allows teachers to place the students where they're needed in a way that teachers can reach them. Reading is essential for students to improve academically. Make sure you hire people that have a high commitment to students and being good teammates regardless of years of experience. CREC calls them Associate Instructors. It’s hard to create interventions when you aren’t teaching skills for success and focusing on grades. Everything needs to be based on mastery of the standard. Its’ critical to constantly be a learner, believe in your teachers, and continually improve.  Stay Connected: Book: Brilliance in the Building</itunes:summary>

Also at JC Clark, he started a basketball team in the school to help the students most at-need. The season was from October to May. Ryan also coached football, basketball, and served as director of the National Youth Sports Program at the local college during the summer. In addition, Ryan taught a graduate class at St. Joseph’s College for 4 years on using PLCs as the system for creating interventions. Ryan is a board member for the Connecticut Association of Schools Student Services Team. As a teacher, he was named both educator and teacher of the year. As a director, he led his camp, NYSP, to national recognition. As a coach, he coached and supported athletes at both the collegiate and high school levels. At Woodside Intermediate School, they also were named a model SRBI and PBIS sight and welcomed visitors from all over. The school also served as a Professional Development School with Central Connecticut State University with college students, staff, and interns in the building at all times. A partnership was also created with Wesleyan University athletic department as athletes visited the school during recess and other times to support students. During his time at Woodside, Ryan presented on Professional Learning Communities to educators in CT and Massachusetts, presented on reading instruction to the CT Reading Association, and presented on RTI or SRBI in CT. Ryan helped open at brand new school in Hartford in a renovated factory. During his time, the school was selected a model professional learning community just 4 years after it opened. They were also selected a Solution Tree Success Story and featured on their website. As an educator, Ryan believes in relationship building with students and connecting with the community, as evident in 25 years of home visits. Ryan is currently a Solution Tree associate and certified PLC, RTI, and priority school presenter. He has presented across the United States on creating and sustaining PLCs in schools with the focus on the team. Bo earned undergraduate degrees from Western Connecticut State University, a master’s degree from Syracuse University, and his sixth-year degree from Southern Connecticut State University. Key Takeaways:  It's important to recognize where we have benefited and give back. Educators have to realize that the student experience isn't always the same as their own personal experience when they were in school. We improve ourselves and make the culture better by realizing and utilizing the importance of teams. Team meetings have to be guided by a process and coached by a leader first if they are going to be effective. Tight loose leadership is key if you are to have effective PLCs in your building. It's important to focus on solutions rather than continue to highlight problems. Implement systems that change mindsets.  PLC work has to be research based.

      <itunes:summary>Sarah Regan Key Takeaways: Confidence comes from opportunity. Personalizing instruction makes all the difference when supporting students. Connecting material to a student in an authentic way creates better understanding. Eyes on is more about attention than respect in the classroom. Empowerment comes from recognizing the small successes students have. There needs to be more fun brought into the high school experience. The focus needs to be on understanding more than memorization. Hard work should be expected but rewarded once it's complete. Attending extracurricular activities helps teachers see students in a new light as well as students seeing teachers in a new light and builds stronger relationships.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Victor "Coach" Hicks is the founder of the Coding with Culture brand.  He has six years experience teaching Computer Science and Technology and over 20 years experience teaching and coaching in his hometown of Chicago, Illinois and current residence, Atlanta, Georgia! Victor is passionate about closing the digital divide among students of color, more specifically, Black Students. He enjoys using his talents to provide culturally relevant computer science experiences for students in grades K-12 along with professional development and consultation services for K-12 educators. Victor is  a proud product of two HBCUs:  Fisk University and Clark Atlanta University. His experiences at these illustrious institutions inspired him to make it a priority to include the cultural relevance of Historically Black Colleges and Universities in his pedagogy across grade levels and content areas. Key Takeaways:  We have to listen to all voices when looking to better serve students and teachers. Connect with and meet teachers where they are when engaging them in the process of culturally relevant instruction. Having a clear, authentic intent is the only way to make a positive impact You have to be vulnerable and show your human side when working with students. We are still struggling to break the industrial age model of school even after the pandemic. The educational system has to change in fundamental ways if it is to improve. We are trying to study and enact diversity equity and inclusion in a system that refuses to recognize diversity at any level. There are too many educators at upper level positions making big decisions about education when they don't know about the field. Creativity comes from the process not the product.

      <itunes:summary>Key Takeaways:  It's important for schools to focus on the little things to get students engaged. It's really about teachers having fun in order to engage students and bring them in. It's important to be clear about expectations and organized. Engaged teaching is visible through not just cold calling students, but relating those questions to real life events. Present complex concepts simply so that students can pick them up and understand them. Present material as if it's something they want to learn. Pressure on students appears to be more a societal and parental issue than schools. Don't make who you are about the grades that you get. </itunes:summary>

He is an innovator in professional development and training.  John has spoken at numerous national education conferences including ASCD Empower, ASCD Leadership Conference, the ESEA Conference, National Association of Community and Restorative Justice Conference, the Music City SEL Conference, and the Texas Association of Secondary School Principals Conference. John is the author of the book Classroom Circles: A Toolkit for Building Relationships and Strengthening School Communities. John currently brings his experience to his role as a principal at the Tioughnioga Riverside Academy, a 4th-8th grade building in Upstate New York. He spent 15 years in the classroom teaching both 2nd grade and 6th grade mathematics.  He also spent over three years as a district Restorative Practices Coordinator leading implementation in over ten primary and secondary schools. John resides in Conklin, NY, with his wife and two daughters. He enjoys hiking, skiing, and camping. He is a graduate of SUNY (the beer) Geneseo and Binghamton University. Key Takeaways:  Great relationships take come from taking the time to get to know each other. Schools need to change a lot because of all the new digital media. It's important to engage students rather than entertain them. When creating solutions we have to look for effective rather than efficient answers. Let students spin the ruler. To be successful restorative practices must be focused on the community and culture building side.

Key Takeaways:  Circles are important in the process of bringing everyone together by building relationships, and creating a positive culture. Amazing things can happen in your building when faculty work from a lens of respect. Schools with positive cultures where staff feel as if they belong do not experience the shortages seen around the nation. Consistency is key when building circles into your schedule. Check out the 1st 5 email for quick ways to connect, interact, and check in with students or staff. Greeting students at the door results in a 20% boost in engagement and a 10% decrease in behavioral issues.

      <itunes:summary>Key Takeaways:   The biggest part in STEM education is finding the balance between hands on and book work in classes. It's important to create and deliver hands on activities that don't just feel like chores, but as if they're important to the student. Learning becomes engaging when it is not about checking off a list for curriculum, but instead discovering new, meaningful material. Student voice is key to engaging and empowering students. Make sure you empower students by showing them tangible ways how their voice made an impact. Mutual respect is one of the most important things needed in schools. Clubs and Athletics make schools what they are because school is about more than just academics, but where you make your friends and build relationships. It's OK to stand out because there are other people who are waiting for you to take the lead. </itunes:summary>

As a ‘recovering high school principal’, Darrin shares strategies and lessons learned from 26 years in public education to help leaders gain clarity, find joy in their work, and walk in their purpose. Key Takeaways:  Being a Principal is the best, but toughest job you can ever have. School culture is the single most important thing we do in our schools. Every child and adult should have the opportunity to be seen, heard, and loved every single day in our schools. Culture is saying this is how we do things here and saying this is not how we do things here. We need to focus on highlighting what people are doing right rather than what people are doing wrong. Culture begins and is strengthened by giving opportunities for ownership. Make sure you schedule "balcony time" to take a step back and look where you are. Walk your school hallways with an objective eye concerning what you see.  Stay in Touch: Twitter: @DarrinMPeppard Website: linktr.ee/darrinmpeppard</itunes:summary>

Key Takeaways: Life is short, but our influences never ending. There is a need to consistently model the positivity of any progress or event. Use the 2 filters of, everyone has positive intent and what can I learn from this. It's important to know your people, but even more important to act on the knowledge that you have. Empower others to bring positivity to your culture by being transparent in your process of supporting and engaging others. Try throwing out bad suggestions to get better suggestions from those who may not normally contribute. You need to forget about your ego if you are to find the most success as a leader. It's critical that you not only communicate your priorities, but why they are your priorities. Setting goals and priorities is messy because they have to all mesh with each other.

Key Takeaways: Making mistakes and learning from them is critical to the learning process and lowering anxiety. Modeling and being present in the classroom is key for leaders. It's not just about being visible, it's about being active in what's going on around you. Start the year off right by getting to know those you lead as people. It's never too late to go back and build relationships. Leaders need to make time for the specific thing you want those you lead to embrace. Hold Ed Camp style staff meetings.

Joël is currently Principal / School Efficacy Leader in his school board (at Conseil scolaire public du Nord-Est (CSPNE),) as well as a Provincial Leadership Coach within his professional principals association (at the Association des directions et directionsassistantes des écoles franco-ontariennes.) He is the founder of Inspire Leadership Coaching , and the host of  Inspire Leadership Podcast as well as the podcast This Is Leadership . Key Takeaways:  Everyone can be a leader so it's important to make sure you are adding value to those who step forward. Look for and develop opportunities to help others improve their leadership skills. Create masterminds for administrators and teachers. This will help create collective efficacy. One on one meetings are difficult to schedule but incredibly valuable for individual development. Collective efficacy is three times more likely to have a positive impact on student learning than any other factor according to John Hattie's research. Successful leadership development results in leaders developing others into leaders. Leadership development is working when leaders are improving in the process of improvement. Effective learning cycles are key to the improvement and development of leaders.  Stay in Touch: Twitter Website</itunes:summary>

Key Takeaways: Don't ask what you want to do with your life, instead ask what do you want to learn about. The science of creativity is just as important as the art of creativity because it helps teach others the strategies to become more creative. Creativity is the generation of novel and appropriate ideas. Leaders can help educators infuse more creativity into their classroom by reframing what creativity actually is. Educators by definition are creative because they are problem solvers. Creativity cannot be treated as an add on it must be infused into the curriculum. Creativity isn't always about the feel good emotion of success because because there is ambiguity in the process. Give people a mistake quotient when trying to get them to take risks or be vulnerable with their creativity. Use creativity boards. Use teacher superhero capes.

      <itunes:summary>Joshua Yeager is a servant leader who strives to be compassionate and loyal while holding a high level of integrity. With fifteen years of dedicated service in the areas of business, education, and leadership, he feels that now is the time to collaboratively be a catalyst of change by providing a high level of quality leadership that increases principal and teacher capacity. Joshua has held many leadership roles in K-12 schools such as teacher, coach, literacy coordinator, assistant principal, special projects, principal, and director of schools. He is currently a PhD candidate in curriculum and instruction with an emphasis in Leadership, at the American College of Education in Indianapolis, Indiana. Joshua has a continued commitment to ensuring that all students and teachers are  competitive at the highest level in a global society. Currently, he resides in Hattiesburg and has one daughter who's a freshman in high school.  Key Takeaways:  Teachers will perform to the level that they believe they can perform at if supported. You have to become uncomfortable if you are going to continue to grow to your greatest potential. Professional development needs to be teacher centric, engaging, and relevant. Whole school improvement becomes second nature when teachers are being coached. Regular ceremonies to champion teachers and students is essential to building a successful culture. Don’t use existing policies as an excuse not to change. They were meant to be adjusted. Being visible all day every day is a key to leadership. Leadership isn’t about the leader, but instead those they lead. Practicing humility is essential.  Stay in Touch: Twitter Website</itunes:summary>

Key Takeaways:  We need to make a point of both observing and absorbing the good in life. Clear messaging and explicit modeling of expectations is how you create a positive atmosphere and culture. Make recognizing gratitude a daily practice. If you're not making mistakes you're not trying. We need to create an environment where risk taking is supported and encouraged. It's critical that administrators are more consistently in the classroom to support teachers.  Stay in Touch: Twitter: @bmartinreal Teaching Champions Podcast</itunes:summary>

Key Takeaways:  Technology integration is about building strategies and tools that are effective in multiple situations. Technology integration is about building capacity for change to our curriculum in the future. You must be focused on research based strategies for instruction prior to inserting technology to deliver that instruction. Learning needs to be available to students at any time on multiple platforms Clear simple messaging and focused support on a few strategies is the best way to support teachers with new technology integration. Creating a platform and environment for teachers to share what they're doing is key to building engagement and empowering. The priorities need to be teacher agency and instructional coaching to build capacity.

Key Takeaways:  Educators who work with the students often know those students real well or better than anyone else. When innovating or coming up with new ideas the mindset of "if there's a will there's a way" is essential. We need to acknowledge the teachers who continue to be positive in the face of negativity. We need to put weight on conversations instead of the numbers generated by evaluations. You become embraced by your community when you clearly embrace them. Student centered and service based learning has the biggest ripple effect through society.

She was an ASCD Emerging leader in 2012 and has definitely fulfilled that title. She currently co-hosts the SEL in EDU podcast that is sponsored by PA ASCD. Key Takeaways:  One of the biggest misconceptions about SEL is that it's all about relationships. There are 5 central competencies to SEL. There are interpersonal and intra personal competencies. SEL is comprised of who you are and what you do everyday. The 3 main factors needed to create a sustainable SEL system are cultural, structural, and behavioral. You can see, feel, and hear when people feel as if they authentically accepted and honored for who they are as a person. We can't always clearly see what is happening when we are in the middle of an event. Leaders need to realize their responsibility to stand for those they serve.

Her newest venture allows her an extensive creative outlet as Managing Director of Code Breaker Inc. Key Takeaways:  We have to adjust our expectations if we are going to empower students and teachers. Empowerment comes from letting go of control, building trust, and creating responsibility. Students will become leaders if given the opportunity. Empower others by saying we have a problem, how are we going to fix it. Then let them take responsibility. It’s important to lead by example and then support people to reach your expectation. We need to meet those we lead where they are at the current moment. Everyone has a right to be in an environment that treats them as a leader and then meets them where they are instead of meeting the current leaders where they are.

Key Takeaways:  Ongoing training and continuous support is essential for any type of technology integration. Adoption of any new technology has to start with the end goal in mind. Immersive Tech can be extremely helpful for students with learning disabilities. Immersive Tech opens up opportunities that aren't bound by location, restricted by budgets, or limited because of your mobility. If innovations are too disruptive they won't thrive. Stay away from buying technology that only serves one use. The key is to empower your students to show you what is possible with new technology.

You can connect with Debbie at TannenbaumTech.com. Key Takeaways:  TRANSFORM as an acronym for how to evolve into a better educator and leader. You have to overcome the uncertainty of being connected if you want to improve. Start simple with activities such as "tweet and eat" when introducing new tools strategies for technology. Pay attention to the difference between having time and allowing time. Make sure you are modeling the expectations that you are setting forth. We can't engage others unless we ourselves are engaged first. Getting people to offer their voice is all about culture and relationships. Show teachers they can do things by modeling and get them connected for other models.

Dominic is passionate about social- emotional learning and feels that every child deserves to have fun, feel excited to learn and is happy to go to school. Key Takeaways:  Work life balance is essential, but more of a negotiation. One of the powers of being a Principal is the ability to have more of an impact on teachers and make your own schedule to do just that. Learn and lead with S.W.A.G. S + W + A = J! Being authentic and sticking to who you are as a school is key when sharing your story on social media. Being a principal is just being a teacher on a bigger scale. Everyone falls into the 40, 40, and 40 rule. Make sure to take an "it's OK" perspective to be effective from day-to-day.

Trust and respect is key for assisting in career decisions. We need to keep our ears open for progress by truly listening. Don't lose sight of the human side of education. Education should be open spaced, collaborative areas where students are supported as needed at the level they need. We need to think about how what we do impacts who we are.

      <itunes:summary>Lainie Rowell is an educator, international consultant, podcaster, and TEDx speaker. She is the lead author of Evolving Learner and a contributing author of  Because of a Teacher. Her latest book, Evolving with Gratitude, will be released in mid-2022. An experienced teacher and district leader, her areas of focus include learner-driven design, community building, online/blended learning, and professional learning. Lainie’s work has been highlighted in many publications, including Edutopia, OC Family Magazine, and PBS News Hour. Since 2014, Lainie has been a consultant for the Orange County Department of Education's Institute for Leadership Development.  Key Takeaways:  Gratitude helps us cope with stress, regulate emotions, physiological health, and energizes learning. Gratitude becomes contagious. You need to model everything you want to see. Sticky note compliments as a strategy. The Cycle of Inquiry is not meant to be linear. The word “priority” was never supposed to be plural. Use the “It would be cool if…” prompt by Dr. Novak. Teacher learning needs to be ongoing and job embedded. Look to implement a community of inquiry cycle in your school. Make sure you avoid the “comparison hangover”.

Emily is one of the few people who can literally say that she is living her dream and is thankful and blessed every day to get to do what she does and to love the people she loves. Key Takeaways:  Shout out to Matthew X Joseph and the power of connections. Shout out to George M Ferro for the concept of betting on oneself. Relationships and connections are critical to people's success. Schools can have a fun atmosphere and high expectations at the same time. Modeling and psychological safety allows authenticity to take center stage. Taking ownership of mistakes you make allows for growth. Leaders need to model grace and accountability. Use objective information and specific questioning to increase self awareness.

      <itunes:summary>Mandy Froehlich is an educator former instructional coach and Director of Innovation and Technology who passionately encourages educators to create innovative change in their classrooms. Her interest lies in reinvigorating and re-engaging teachers back into their profession as well as what's needed to support teachers in their pursuit of innovative and divergent thinking and teaching.

Froehlich's work as a graduate instructor allows her to positively impact the next generation of instructional leaders. Her books on mental health awareness and educational engagement can be found on her website, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Edumatch publishing. Key Takeaways:  Happiness is a human right. Build engagement through trust, support, and understanding what teachers need. Conversations containing emotion must always be done in person. Leaders must be explicit in determining how best to support teachers. Use the thinking protocol 1, 2, 4, and All. Organic conversations often yield the best results. Make sure you use different strategies outside of the norm to have conversations. The busier we are, the less time we have to be creative and innovative. Innovation is a teacher driven system that needs a positive culture and climate that takes teacher’s needs into consideration. We need to get out of the deficit thinking trap. Schools should be about the feeling or emotion you get when you walk into the building. Successful education requires the leveling out of the inhumane practices (testing, data, etc.) with the relationship building and human aspects. People have to feel as if you know them as a human if there is to be trust.

Key Takeaways:  You have to consider unintended consequences when modeling behaviors. Get accountability partners to keep you on track. Sometimes all teachers are looking for is permission. Block your time off in your schedule for better productivity. Create systems that lead people to do their best work instead of managing people to fit the systems you have. Make sure you lean towards yes whenever teachers bring you a suggestion. Don't waste time focusing on what could go wrong instead of focusing on what is great.

Support teachers in pursuing their passions. Teachers need permission to experiment. Passion projects as goals for evaluation. Create an environment for risk taking by by changing the structure instead of the expectations. It's important to remember we can't do anything without partnering with parents.

Key Takeaways:  Living in your community in which you lead is a way to increase authenticity and build relationships. If you can lead, you can lead. It's important to realize that you don't always see the big picture picture and yet you still have to move forward even if it isn't your idea. The people you lead take on your attitude whenever a new initiative is being implemented. It's critically important to have 1 on 1 conversations with staff as you move forward with your vision. Share student feedback with staff for impact and credibility. Hire people who have the skills in the areas in which you need to improve. Fight for the people you want to achieve the vision you have. You can't improve your situation if you don't try something different than what you've always done. You can't be a good leader unless you know how to be a good follower. You can only ask good questions if you are truly listening.  There's no point in having an open door if you aren't receptive to what people are saying.

      <itunes:summary>Craig's been married for 25 years to an educator and is a father of three beautiful girls.  He has been in Bergenfield, NJ for 25 years with the last 10 as Principal of Jefferson Elementary School.  Craig is a former Physical Education teacher, Supervisor of Art, Music, and PE, Director of the Alternative High School as well.  He feels he has been blessed with the privilege to work with the children of Bergenfield and thoroughly enjoys each day in this profession. Key Takeaways:  It's important to model incremental improvement. Create a process for getting better in areas that you need improvement by reflecting. Have small conversations with teachers each day. Dialog needs to be personal before practice or process before it leads to outcomes. Being vulnerable allows you to connect with people and learn. Everything must be centered on your personal philosophy if you are to help teachers to the greatest extent. Look for, cultivate, and capture the "it" factor. You can teach the other stuff. Things don't get brought to our attention unless they're important to the person bringing them to us. Use your spirit use your freedom use your style. Own it.

      <itunes:summary>Craig Shapiro is a teacher of K-12 HPE/Coach for 33 years.  He is also a speaker and upcoming author. Key Takeaways:  Simple steps for transformation are not just a classroom thing, but a life thing. The daily steps you take are super important for how you perform overall. Anyone can reflect, but that doesn't make it easy. It's important to get to know people, but more important to help them get better. Many things we do are simple, but people just do not think about it. Learn about and make use of habit stacking. What you do consistently creates the desire to do the same in others. We get what we model and expect. Leaders must have empathy and be authentic. Pay attention to where your ducks are swimming. Make sure people understand the vision and their role in it. Focus on the good instead of the small amount of negatives. Ask yourself if people say hi to you without being prompted.

      <itunes:summary>Larry's path into education wasn’t  typical.   Upon graduating from Ithaca College, he spent 10 years in radio/television news before travelling across the country playing piano/singing at retirement communities- eventually arriving back in his hometown of Framingham, Massachusetts.  There, while substitute teaching, he became passionate about education and earned his Masters in Elementary Education from Lesley University. Key Takeaways:  Make sure you are intentional about building relationships Use specific, personalized questions to get great feedback from teachers Small actionable adjustments make all the different when building relationships and culture Use UDL for staff, not just students Focus on listening more than writing when taking notes in a meeting Make sure you take time to stop and see what everybody at the ground level thinks. Pay special attention to the needs of your stakeholders Self talk is an incredibly important part of your mindset Always assume positive intentions The process of authentically listening is difficult and takes practice Listening and reflection are both two way skills. We subconsciously listen to ourselves talk while listening to what people are saying and then we have to reflect on what we're saying while we reflect on how we listened to them  Get in Touch: Twitter:   @WolpeMr --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app</itunes:summary>

Key Takeaways:  Relationships are a two way street, but not the way you think. Building trust with parents is essential for success. Trust and relationships cannot be forced, but have to be built organically. Create support systems to help teachers no matter their years of service. It's important for leaders to connect and collaborate with teachers on a regular basis. Leaders must be consistently present in classrooms to make a difference. Leaders need to practice differentiated leadership to be successful. The difference between climate and culture in a building is relationships.

Matthew is invested in the work of love-leading students and their families in his current role as a School Administrator in Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland. He is currently working on his upcoming book, HeartLeader, released through CodeBreaker Inc. Key Takeaways:  Make sure that people feel valued and that they have worth to is worth to build better relationships. Is work to build long lasting relationships builds on trust respect and love. We are really not doing enough to take care of teachers and their wellness. The recent pandemics of covid and racism have brought this to light more than ever. We must have honest conversations with people if we are to authentically support them. We never know what's going on in their lives. You have to let people know from the start what your core values are and where you're headed in leading the school area Remember to ask 6 questions before ever uttering one declarative statement when working with people. Listening is key. Everyone needs people in their life that they know we'll be there for them whether professionally or personally to help if they need it. We are all human and incredibly fallible Never run away from the fire because you'll miss the opportunity to be forged by it. PLNs must be about the network. Make sure your opportunity is a network work or vice versa make sure your network is a community because if you lead with your heart and put yourself out there things will happen for you.
