Q2: #leadlap #principalsadvocate

A1: Less is more. Choose one topic and build a compelling why, the solution and pay special attention to emotions. Don’t forget you are the expert! #leadlap

A1 Frame advocacy with a positive lens.
Share the successes.
Predict the successes.
Let others be part of the potential success.

I was reminded that if we’re lucky we can do things within our control in a time that feels chaotic. Inspired by one line I felt driven to write. #leadlap @bethhouf.bsky.social @burgessdave.bsky.social @jaybilly2.bsky.social

Have a great week, #leadlap family. Take time for you so you can take time for others next week.

A3: Keep helping students and staff navigate hard topics by taking time to listen and talk through concerns. #leadlap

A3: Keep celebrating and embracing diversity, equity, equality, inclusion, belonging, and the belief that we are truly better together. These words and practices have been weaponized and the effects are already crushing. #leadlap

Q3: What must we ensure that we KEEP doing in spite of these changes? #leadlap

Good morning!!! #leadlap

Glad you jumped in Hallie! #leadlap

A2) when kids are influenced by what they hear without fully grasping the depth of what they are saying we have the responsibility to teach them to honor ALL human beings and although this should not be political our current reality can make it challenging to guide these conversations #leadlap

A2: The hardest thing has been the normalization of hate/bullying/rudeness that can spill over to students. The modeling of leadership matters so much. #leadlap

Q2: What has been the hardest part of these political changes for you as an educator? #leadlap

I’m going to throw a couple more questions out but this is more of a conversation and support group than traditional chat this morning. #leadlap

Same. I make myself stay up on what’s happening around me but prefer my happy place of school. I just know that there is no time more important than now to stay informed and advocate for what we know is right in education. #leadlap
