I think there is confusion between productive noise and off task noise, engagement can be very noisy at time #edsi6321

Trying to get on the #kidlitchat tonight to see how people are using literature in such a digital and visual age! Please let me know if y’all have advice!!! #edusky #edsi6321

I think the key driver is creating a true improvement plan, anything vague or without a measurable goal won’t drive improvement. There also needs to be accountability and consistent evaluation of the plan #edsi6321

Do you contact home for positive behaviors? I’m curious if you’ve seen positive comments from students if you have #edsi6321

It needs to start with trust. Without trust there can not be a mentor relationship. I need to trust that I’ll be supported and you need to trust that I’ll do the best I can #edusky #edsi6321

I would say to build a relationship based on the students interest and try to have that interest build a base of education. Assignments can meet the standards and still apply to the interest of the student, and celebrate achievements when possible #edusky #edsi6321

How can teachers and administrators use positive classroom relationships to reduce classroom disruptions? Has anyone found effective strategies for struggling teachers to implement? #edusky #edsi6321

I think the minimum should be five. That is enough time to show that people are dedicated to the profession, have moved past the three year wall, and are prepared to be instructional leaders

I am an assistant principal at a high school and getting my doctorate in school improvement through the University of Texas at Tyler. I am looking at district improvement plans and the efficacy in which they are being used to help improve education in Texas #EduSky
