April's thoughts today around bite sized feedback, and using core team and team leaders to provide feedback was an idea I'd love to learn more about. Building the capacity of others to support coaching and professional development seems like a topic we could continue to refine.

Boundaries

2024-03-19 19:29:35 UTC

How do we support each other with professional boundaries (and having a balance with our family) while still feeling like we are giving our school everything it needs?

In Person

2024-03-19 19:30:19 UTC

While it is hard to get out of the building, in person is preferred as we are more engaged and truly get to connect with each other.

Thank you!

2024-03-19 19:30:38 UTC

I love the idea of continuing to have this support next year.

Both

2024-04-03 15:26:55 UTC

I like the opportunity to have both options balanced with in person and virtual.

Building Capacity in Leadership Teams

2024-04-03 15:31:49 UTC

What are some creative strategies to build capacity in school leadership teams?

Thank you!

2024-04-03 15:49:39 UTC

Thank you for a space to grow, reflect and learn from esteemed leaders and peers.

In Person

I agree that while it is hard to get out of the building, the time is way more valuable to me than a seminar over Zoom. I always appreciate the time to connect and share ideas and strategies. It renews my motivation!

Problem of Practice

I wouldn't mind some open sharing time where we could identify a challenge a colleague is having and brainstorm together.

Special Education

2024-04-03 18:06:29 UTC

Getting more in-depth clarity regarding Special Education programing. What are the profiles of students in specific programs? (i.e. Connections vs. LAD etc.)

Much Appreciated

2024-04-03 18:07:41 UTC

I want to reiterate that the NPN cohorts are great resources and impactful. I appreciate that we are considering another year of support. I think we can use 4 more years as you are forever learning in this position. Thank you!

In-person

2024-04-03 22:10:44 UTC

For my learning style, the in-person format is more useful. It also gives me the rare opportunity to connect with my colleagues and cohort members.

Instructional Leadership

2024-04-03 22:12:56 UTC

I would love to hear some thoughts on how to build the instructional leadership of my administrative team so that they can go deeper in their conversations with content specialists instead of just going through the motion

Thank you!

2024-04-03 22:14:36 UTC

The support from the NPN cohort and the CTs has been uplifting and much needed. That is why it is super exciting to know about the possibility of NPN3 cohort. Thank you for this opportunity!

Turnover

2024-04-03 22:17:21 UTC

I would love to learn some best practices on how to establish, sustain, and build upon the cohesiveness, trust, and collaboration within an administrative team when at least one member of the team is new every one or two years.
