@eaarthtoaash That was such a good talk. ♥️ love you!

@eaarthtoaash Love you. ♥️ thanks for being the sister I always wanted.

@ChristelBruno @LeeAnn_Edvolve @ssallee @Edtechiness @EdTechSarahH @A_HendersonAZ Congratulations!! You worked so hard for this. ♥️

Yesterday, I became an ISTE Certified Educator. The process stretched my thinking and got me outside of my comfort zone. Thank you to the support team that helped me get there! #ISTECert @LeeAnn_Edvolve @ssallee @Edtechiness @EdTechSarahH @mnm723 @A_HendersonAZ

I'm surprised how many people aren't using AI Chrome extensions yet. Stop limiting yourself to just ChatGPT. Here are 5 new AI chrome extensions that will turn you into a productivity machine:

@ChristelBruno @EdTechSarahH That question take does take it to another level of commitment!

@EdTechSarahH A4: We are going to have to adapt. The real work is done when we are challenged and it will take real talk to help guide that conversation. I love the new question, "On a scale of 1 - 5, how committed are you to this goal?" This is the work. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

Q4 - The Impact Cycle - Chapter 5 - Pg. 144 - Howo can you avoid the trap of picking a less challenging goal? #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH A4: We really have to work at setting high expectations ourselves and others. Really reflecting on our choices and if it's pushing us. Then committing to the task at hand. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH A3: I need to work on giving up the control. Ensuring that the teacher is in driver's seat and making those decisions on what's next. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

Q3 - The Impact Cycle - Chapter 5 - Pg. 141 - How can we "balance advocay with inquiry" to make the necessary improvements to continue the coaching process? #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH A2: Give teachers encouragement and create that connection so they want to push through. Let them know that everyone is going to have setbacks and talk them though the process. Find a way to connect and tell them it's okay if they dip. #FUSDBookStudy #ImpactCycle #FUSDChat

Q2 - The Impact Cycle - Chapter 5 - On Pg. 138 - The Implementation Dip - How do you coach through The Implementation Dip and stay motivated? #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@ChristelBruno @EdTechSarahH That's fair. Sometimes I think we just want to get right into the task that we don't remember to slow down. Plus, we all have such crazy busy schedules.

@EdTechSarahH A1: Step 1! I can see the importance and value of the step, but stopping our work to check in and making sure we are still on track is going to be difficult. I tend to jump in so I know slowing down to check in will be very intentional on my part. #FUSDBookStudy #ImpactCycle

Q1: The Impact Cycle - Chapter 5 - On pg. 133 - Which step from the 'Improve Stage' will be the most challenging part for you and your coaching conversations? #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH A1: Invent Improvements will be the most h challenging for me. I struggle with imposter syndrome at times so frankly, I just feel like I don't have many tools to share with my colleagues. I know I do since I'm in this role but I struggle anyway. #FUSDBookStudy #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH I'm really interested in reading through the power of checklists in Atul Gawande's The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right to really dive into how checklists can make coaching more effective. #FUSDBookStudy #impactcycle #FUSDchat

Q4: The Impact Cycle - Chapter 4: In Going Deeper on page 128, what book are you interested in reading to further your understanding of this chapter? #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH A3: I've been successful with visiting another teacher's classroom above all strategies. I feel that seeing the strategy modeled by someone you work with can help with discussions and reflection upon the practice and ways to implement in the future. #FUSDBookStudy #impactcycle

Q3: The Impact Cycle - Chapter 4: What are some ways you've been successful with your approaches to modeling? (Pg. 116) #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH My biggest struggle with creating and using lists is that I tend to be detail oriented and write all steps excessively. I worry that's what I'll do with checklists: hold my reader's hand and that's not the way to do this. #FUSDBookStudy #impactcycle #FUSDchat

Q2: The Impact Cycle - Chatper 4: What is going to be your biggest struggle creating and using checklists? (Pg. 107) #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH A1: Playbooks could be utilized in the EdTech world by incorporating playbooks into the trainings for teachers that are new to the district. These would be so useful and a great reference tool. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDchat #impactcycle

Q1: The Impact Cycle - Chapter 4: How are you planning to incorporate playbooks into your everyday coaching practices? (pg. 104) #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH Making the teacher take ownership of the goal will ensure change and success in the classroom. The HOW is so important for the teachers to succeed. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

A4: The first questions ask the teacher to identify what could be improved upon in the classroom, while the last questions ask HOW can we make that change, and how will we know if it was successful. It puts the change in the teachers hands. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

Q4 - The Impact Cycle - Chapter 3 - How do questions 6-10 (pg. 84) of the 10 Identify Questions help teachers identify a goal that will impactful in their classroom? #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

@EdTechSarahH A4: these questions can help teachers identify a goal since it asks if the question has meaning to them (Q8) and allows collaboration with their coach as they decide on a teaching strategy (Q9). It really breaks down how this will help students stay successful. #FUSDBookStudy

@EdTechSarahH Definitely creates teacher buy in since they are a primary decision maker. The can use their coach as a sounding board and someone to collaborate with. #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle

A3: Asking a teacher to rate their lesson likely will get the teacher to identify where there is room for growth and will get them thinking about their ideal classroom and what that might feel like. And creates teacher buy-in to learn new skills.

Q3 - The Impact Cycle - Chapter 3 - Questions 1-5 (pg. 84) of the 10 Identify Questions - ask teachers to rate their lesson, how does rating a lesson help identify a goal? #FUSDBookStudy #FUSDChat #ImpactCycle
