Curtis teachers sharing goal setting structures with colleagues #HowPeopleLearn #GoalsAndActions

Always a pleasure learning with you, my friends! #nisdimpact

@LAERomer Oooh, Romer!! I like it Dare to be a change maker

Q4 Change research is big! I dare us to really understand how change works & doesn’t work so that we are all maximizing our impact. Mentees earned their positions just like we did. We accept the challenge to do something big - implement specific changes that matter. #NISDImpact

@LRansl I couldn’t agree more. Being transparent and human is key to our relationships and our collective professional growth. I look forward to our next meeting when I share a struggle I’m experiencing and solutions I’m considering

A2 -Inviting our mentee equally into the relationship and opening up with our struggles will model the premise that we BOTH grow professionally and become more aware/confident when practicing “collectively” rather than alone. #nisdimpact

Q4 #nisdimpact

A3 Walkkng our campuses is a next step for us too - our plan is to walk with a focus on how people learn and our POPs #nisdimpact

@MrsAmandaHughes That’s awesome! I know this must be very helpful for her

Q2: My mentee & I are in a unique situation. She is forging relationships w/ people w/ which I have strong relationships. She has called several times asking about specific interactions w/ staff. This has actually brought a strength to my mentoring. #believeinothers #NISDImpact

@yolanda_wallace Preach

A2: W.E.Deming said, “transformation is everyone’s job.” #NISDImpact

W3 #nisdimpact

@KimBecan It’s such a simple, yet very complex idea. But one that is so powerful & beneficial when it’s used

A2. It goes on to say that instructional leadership is the role of everyone...so true! #NISDImpact

A2 - I remember how VERY big our roles felt when we first entered them - we talk about involving teachers in some decision making and how to help them work on the work with us #nisdimpact

Q2 #nisdimpact

@MrsAmandaHughes Very true! It’s kind of like having a student teacher - lots of thinking out loud!

A1: Mentoring brings an additional layer of accountability to our own work. It challenges me to think deeply about the what, how and why of what we do. #thinkingpartners #NISDImpact

@LyndsieGraves Same with me-I recently shared a road bump we encountered with data and progress monitoring and bounced my ideas about next steps with her

A1: It was valuable to discuss our needs from the beginning so I not only support her, but she knows where to push me. #NISDImpact

Not sure if you saw Q1 - but here it is #nisdimpact

@caracarter1 @ScienceSanders What a sweet treat!! Thank you 😊
