Dawn Staley on the message she shared with her team following a tough loss to #Texas: "I told them the last time we loss in this situation, we won the National Championship...It might be the very thing this team needs." @abc_columbia - #Gamecocks

@CathleenLacey @SC_ATLL I totally agree! Not every email requires an immediate response either. I tell my mentees the same thing. I coach them to take a pause, digest the contents, and then act accordingly without emotions-just facts. ♥️

A5. I’m learning that not every situation needs a response. Sometimes honoring my humanity means noticing something, understanding it for what it is, and choosing where my energy is best spent. #LoveSCSchools @SC_ATLL

@pnabbie @SC_ATLL You are so right! Why are we so quick to fill the buckets of others? What does filling our own buckets look or feel like?

A1: 99% human is how I try to show up every day, but do know that sometimes my 🪣needs filling before I can fill others #loveSCschools @SC_ATLL

A5: This week, I plan to lead with more grace for myself and others. Being 99% human reminds me that growth, reflection, and connection matter just as much as outcomes. #loveSCschools @SC_ATLL

Q5: As we close our conversation, let’s think about how we carry this mindset forward into the week ahead. Reply using A5 and remember to include #loveSCschools and tag @SC_ATLL in your response.

Thank you for joining tonight’s chat and reflecting on what it means to be 99% human and 1% amazing in our work as educators and leaders. Your insights strengthen this community. Let’s continue creating schools where both educators and students thrive. #lovescSchools @SC_ATLL

A: Being an empathic leader allows me to connect with others’ experiences, which strengthens collaboration and reduces defensiveness during difficult conversations. #loveSCschools @SC_ATLL

Q4: Sometimes the very things that make us human—empathy, reflection, vulnerability—also make us stronger leaders. Reply using A4 and remember to include #loveSCschools and tag @SC_ATLL in your response.

A3: My 1% amazing is listening to students and meeting them where they are. Students often express not being heard by their teachers or administrators. I give students space and ensure their supports are implemented with fidelity. #lovescschools @SC_ATLL

Q3: Each educator brings something unique to their school community. That small “1% amazing” can make a powerful difference. Reply using A3 and remember to include #loveSCschools and tag @SC_ATLL in your response.

A2: As a special education educator, it seems like there is not enough time in a school day to get things done. To protect my peace, I breathe and tackle priority tasks first to ensure I am compliant with paperwork. #lovescSchools @SC_ATLL

Q2: Education can come with expectations that feel bigger than what any one person can carry. Let’s talk honestly about that pressure. Reply using A2 and remember to include #loveSCschools and tag @SC_ATLL in your response.

A1: Viewing mistakes as opportunities to learn is being human. @SC_ATLL #lovescSchools

Q.1 Educators give so much of themselves each day. Before we talk about being “amazing,” let’s start with being human. Reply using A1 and remember to include #loveSCschools and tag @SC_ATLL in your response.

Here are the questions we’ll be posting throughout the night for our chat. Please be sure to use A1, A2, etc. at the start of your response, use hashtag #loveSCschools, and tag @SC_ATLL

Questions will drop every few minutes throughout our chat! Be sure to respond with your answers using the A1, A2, etc. format. Looking forward to your insights! @SC_ATLL #lovescSchools @darylwilliams__
