A1 — I don't need ANSWERS right away…sometimes I just need to think out loud…so someone who can ask thoughtful questions and support me when I don't know. #oklaed

A2: Great leaders will not only “talk the talk” but will “walk the walk” as well. They will find ways to utilize resources, staff, etc to make things better. They have a vision for what their school and its staff can become and will sacrifice all to make it come true. #oklaed

A2B #oklaed Good leaders do what they're supposed to do. Great leaders do what needs to be done.

A4) My lack of experience, being a first year teacher, could lead to my voice falling on deaf ears but not here in Clinton. I have been asked for my input on multiple occasions. It is good to feel heard and valued. #oklaed

— Derek Jackson (@CPSVballcoach) November 13, 2017

A4: Not really. Seek AND use input from teachers! #OklaEd https://t.co/ovsNEHOQ7I

A5 — let me fail. But support my struggles. Don't tell me I have power over a situation unless I really DO. Be honest about what We can change and what we can't. Listen when I cry, but don't rush in to solve my problem. #oklaed https://t.co/NilkU5zAu5

— Claudia Swisher (@ClaudiaSwisher) November 13, 2017

A5: Leaders can empower us sometimes by just being the example of what they want their teachers to be. Sometimes they empower by listening to the suggestions of others and applying those suggestions because sometimes they aren’t the smartest people in the room. #oklaed

A6: Don't let Ss play "mom" against "dad" in discipline issues. #talk2eachother #OklaEd

— Jun Kim (@MPSTechnology) November 13, 2017

A6) Actually taking care of the issue and being proactive in communication on plans for repeat or more severe infractions. Also, reinforcing to the student that their behavior wasn’t acceptable. #oklaed

A7 address negative behaviors fairly and consistently. #oklaed

— Natasha Jefferson (@jefferson_first) November 13, 2017

A7: Never ignore it or it will grow. Shift the Monkey, Move the Cheese, Start the Bus. Whatever you do, stoke your stars fires and shape up or ship out your negative influences. #oklaed https://t.co/qOvaQtE2nw

A8: Step in and teach a class. Lead PDs that show you (the leader) are still learning best practices. #oklaed

— Scott Goodrich (@ScottGoodrich_) November 13, 2017

A8: One who is knowledgeable on best practices, innovative teaching, and current curriculum and standards. One who encourages teachers to take risks in the classroom and to share their learning with other teachers. One who gives teachers voice and choice in their PD #oklaed

A9) Realizing that all feed back doesn’t need to be in official form. It can be a quick 2 minute conversation or a quick email so the intent and effect isn’t lost in translation. #oklaed

— Eric Justin Bates (@ejbband21) November 13, 2017

A9) when I give Ts feedback, I want to meet them where they are at and help connect them to what they need to improve. I also want to help them make goals based on our convos. You don't have to be bad to get better! #OklaEd

A10) Have been lucky to have several leaders over the years who saw my desire to do more and said, "Get after it. I've got your back. #OklaEd

Boomsauce tweet(s) of the night:

Erin:

A10: I appreciate @sarasnod for being my 3rd grade teacher and one of the 1st to mentor me beyond just the classroom and started my journey into education! #oklaed

— Jun Kim (@MPSTechnology) November 13, 2017

Scott:

I have been through 26 years of professional, & most PD has been a repeat of what I have already learned. I want new ideas, not the same ideas repackaged as something else with a new and improved educational catch-phrase. #oklaed

A5 — let me fail. But support my struggles. Don't tell me I have power over a situation unless I really DO. Be honest about what We can change and what we can't. Listen when I cry, but don't rush in to solve my problem. #oklaed https://t.co/NilkU5zAu5
