The recent strength finder survey show that I have a gift for bringing others with differing views, experiences, background together.

I have found that viewing situations from a perspective, other my own, helps be see conflict from another angle.

I need to discuss with an AP about the importance of a teacher actually being open to coaching, rather than it being something pushed on her

I was able to help a teacher who was struggling with some fairly simple Tier 1 strategies.

I had a follow-up session with a teacher after an observation to review the observation, establish goals, and pick next steps. I had to guide the teacher to step that would "up her game" while working in collaboration with her.

Worked with a campus as part of their Equity and Diversity committee. We had real and hard conversations about the imbalance and lack of representation of minorities in their GT programs and over representation of minorities in their discipline records. We had good, factual conversations with no accusations, just educators coming together to figure out how to address systemic inequity.

I met with a new teacher who has made tremendous growth with her classroom management since the beginning of the school year. We brainstormed ways she could enhance the Tier 1 strategies in her classroom to make them even more effective.

I had a great brainstorming session with an administrator and colleague earlier today.  We all contributed and the administrator was thankful for our assistance.

I checked in with a CISF on a campus.  She expressed feeling that she had more on her plate than she felt she could handle. Part of her responsibilities she handed off to a different group.  I felt that she was worried that it was being handled. I offered to help with that.  She reiterated that it was no longer in her hands.  In hindsight, I think I could have done a better job of ensuring she understood I was trying to help her...working on showing empathy.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to meet with 2 elementary mentees. All I did was “show up” and listen to them.

I’ve been struggling with how to deal with putting my dog down. My wife and I have different feelings about it. I should do a better job of walking in her shoes. I bring logic and calm to a situation that can have a lot of emotion and anxiety.

A teacher I am supporting shared she is often told what to do rather than being allowed to give input. The teacher has a lot of areas of growth needed, but likely has an idea on what she thinks needs to be the focus at first.

*Today as I was meeting with a teacher, I shared with her a new strategy on how to raise what you praise when dealing with student misbehavior. The new strategy helps to focus in on one behavior and she felt like it was more manageable for her to tackle instead of behavior plans she had seen in the past.

Thinking about a campus where I need more administrative support, I think if I stop getting frustrated with them and be more empathic to see the whole picture of what is actually taking place then maybe I can see a different approach to the situation instead of carrying around hurt feelings.

1) I had a discussion with a teacher about consequences and positive to negative interactions. I was positive with the teacher but also shared the information that she needed to hear. We were able to collaborate about consequences, both positive and negative, that she could use in her classroom. 2) I am currently working with a first year teacher who never went through student teaching. I am struggling to reach her and for her to pick up the necessary skills to be successful with classroom management. 3) I may need to tailor the coaching and modeling more. 4) I bring empathy to the table. I am always able to see the other's perspective and take that into the conversation and how I respond.
