It is that time of year! #Conference Thrive in 2025! ⁦@NAESP⁩ ⁦@GinnyGills⁩ ⁦@AndrewBuchheit⁩

@CoachGoodman Number routines’ benefits are limitless. Confidence absolutely results when Ss are provided regular opportunities for productive struggle with high interest questions. #flexiblethinkinginmath Congrats on the gains!

A1. Number Talks and Close Reading Routines made waves this year 🌊📚➕! Students gained confidence, voice, and stamina through daily structured discussions and scaffolded comprehension strategies. #VAESPchat

@CoachGoodman Wishing you memorable and enjoyable family time! Thank you for all that you do on behalf of children!

A4. 🧘🏾‍♂️📖 This summer: 1) Prioritizing health 🏋🏾‍♂️ and 2) Reconnecting with purpose through reflection + family time ❤️💭. Ready to dive back in stronger! 💦🔥 #VAESPchat

@_AndyJacks Thanks, Andy!!

@MrsASchott You crushed it, nice job!!

@bloomer_sa So true! I’ll check those out.

A4: I have a few videos that highlight how putting yourself first isn’t being selfish! #vaespchat instagram.com/reel/DKXMthTRr…

@Nick_EdwardsEDU Thanks for joining the chat tonight!

@MrsASchott Great job leading the discussion tonight!! #VAESPChat

@Nick_EdwardsEDU Proud of you for making your health and wellness a priority! Enjoy your family time.

@MrsASchott A4. One, Continue my 20 minute mental health walks and workouts in check. Two, spend time with family after work hours in the pool! #VAESPChat

Q4 An administrator’s work doesn’t stop when the final bell rings, but even the best swimmers need time to float and breathe. As you head into summer, what are two things you’ll do to recharge your energy and dive back into educational leadership with renewed passion? #vaespchat

@AndrewBuchheit @Nick_EdwardsEDU My pleasure! Have a great week!

Thank you to @MrsASchott for leading our #VAESPchat tonight. Great ideas. Next week will be our last chat. It will be led by @Nick_EdwardsEDU TOPIC: Closing out the school year. I hope you have a safe, fun, and successful week.

@MrsASchott A3 We need to improve this part of our vision. We hardly, if ever, have conflict with parents. We greet them at the start of the day and admin made 575 positive calls home. Our team members needed to do 5 per week, so now its time to have more parents visit our home #VAESPCHAT

@CcpWilson Yesssss. They deserve to have us fully present, and we do too. 💕

Q3 Listen to your fully engaged families and put their feedback into action! Use surveys, conversations, email chats anything that informs you on how to continue to improve their investments in the school and achievement! #VAESPCHAT

@MrsASchott A2 Hire people who like kids & in the interview THAT needs to shine. You can coach pedagogy NOT liking kids. Next, listening to @PrincipalKafele show w/@ToddWhitaker who has specific questions to ask when checking for a reference. Plz actually call prior boss #VAESPCHAT

A2 - Remember that every day is an opportunity to market your school and recruit. They are always watching even when you don't see it. Sell your school every chance you get! #vaespchat
