A2. I’ve had to learn how to manage my time much better and more efficiently in 2018. I got engaged to the woman of my dreams, took my first steps towards a masters degree(12 hours down w/4.0), juggled my duties as AD, and coached a 15 week football season! ⏱✅ #oklaed https://t.co/tGDeGokBjm

A2: Definitely the walkout. I have never chosen to engage in politics before and it pushed me to my limits, especially being the building rep for our site. I learned a lot! #oklaed https://t.co/Me8Vhr0NbJ

A3) the last chat of the year was most profound for me because of the number of people involved plus the amount of interest and support from our elected officials and leadership. That speaks volumes of optimism for me. #oklaed https://t.co/jAoaSoqQLz

A3) There’s not just one. Each chat allows me to think, learn, adjust, and teach something differently…honest. I am a better educator because of the chats. It’s the best weekly staff development EVER! #oklaed https://t.co/HQVO4s8zvm

A4: Not sure it was a specific headline…Have to give a HUGE #oklaed SHOUTOUT to all of the T's who stepped out of classrooms to run for elected offices! Much love!

A5: it’s not any listed but “This is Us” comes to mind. We’re all in this together and we’ve proven when we have a common goal for the betterment of our future leaders and state we can accomplish our goals and continue to thrive. But only together!

A7. “Serve”. The best leaders serve their communities and family. It’s the way my Dad and Mom taught me. I want to continue becoming a better servant leader. Everything will fall into place if I keep it a top priority. #oklaed https://t.co/9RUZzX1YRm

A7 I think thinking my word for 2019 is persistence. I need to persist regardless of whatever is thrown in my direction. #oklaed

A8) my resolution is to lessen the political polarization that’s currently happening and continue the push for collaboration and relationships with our elected officials. It’s always better to have a seat at the table than to yell from the hallway. #oklaed https://t.co/JgKs468AHS

A8) My 2019 Resolution is to work harder to help the teachers and staff in my building to know how much their work is appreciated and to help each grow professionally.

A8b) My accountability partner will be my Assistant Principal & my Social Worker. #Oklaed https://t.co/Io1nQOVts4

Boomsauce Tweet(s) of the Night:

Erin:

A8- (oops – this said professional 🤦🏼‍♀️) Still saying “conquer” here as well. I am ridiculously passionate (strength & weakness) and I need to do a better job of wrangling that passion sometimes. Admit mistakes, celebrate wins, reflect, do better, repeat #oklaed https://t.co/0VTWMk7rlB

What I teach my kids. Give everyone a chance and try to understand their point of view. #OklaEd
