Listening with compassion and intention and valuing others’ voice even if I(we) disagree or don’t see it.

2025-09-12 16:25:27 UTC

Reframing the data/voices (rounding it) to better serve us all, with students and families at the center, and bring everyone along toward the meaningful goal.

Today I am observing this team for a few moments. I am here to listen an learn.

Being the voice of logistics. Guiding what we can accomplish and making it the best we can provide for teachers and families.

A culture that promotes Trust and values all individuals, actively bringing out the best in others.

2025-09-12 16:25:39 UTC

This is the team that will iterate us to the next level in impact for students and their families.

2025-09-12 16:25:41 UTC

To embrace the quirky is to honor the whole child—discovering how alternative paths lead students to thrive. Let's lean in to what makes Vision a unique school experience in our Homeschool Academy.

2025-09-12 16:25:47 UTC

In order to accomplish this, we have to keep in mind that, as Dumbledore says, "We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided."

2025-09-12 16:25:48 UTC

2025-09-12 16:25:52 UTC

Providing oppurtunites for trying something new, exploring the why we have always done something and questioning if it is the best path for our future.

Collaborative and supportive, well informed discussion to understand perspective.

Making space for the experts to be in the room where it happens, because the best ideas come from those living the work every day

2025-09-12 16:26:19 UTC

Giving all CTs a voice in the decision making processes and long-term projects that affect our daily jobs and our ability to support students and families.

The impact of voice in this space should be one that promotes positive changes that help teachers best support students and families to be successful students and parent educators.

As leaders this team has the courage and space to identify, analyze, discuss and create solutions for systems and procedures that could be improved and refined in order to better support student success and drive school initiatives while supporting families and teachers in implementing and executing those initiatives.

I hope to use my voice to advocate for the needs and perspectives of both students and staff. It’s also important that I show up in this space with cultural competence and responsiveness. Also recognizing the diverse backgrounds, identities, and experiences of our students and families. By approaching conversations and decisions through an equity lens, I hope to contribute to a school environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued—and where policies and practices reflect that diversity in meaningful, respectful ways.

AmyValenzuelaVIE — 2025-09-12 16:27:31 UTC

A culture of trust, shared ownership, and support, where every voice is valued.

A culture of safety and openness where everyone feels safe to bring their voice forward and that their voice will be considered and heard. A culture of being okay with knowing everything isn't perfect and everything has room for improvement and that the voices in the room are the voices that have a goal to help be 1% better wherever they can.

sjohnson1282 — 2025-09-12 16:27:36 UTC

I am committed to supporting teachers in developing their practice by honoring each person’s unique positionality and providing timely and accurate feedback so each teacher can be adaptive, responsive, and creative in their work.

spalma35 — 2025-09-12 16:27:46 UTC

Our team has the opportunity to lead by example—through collaboration, transparency, and a shared commitment to equity. By listening actively, responding with empathy, and using data and lived experience to guide our decisions, we can shape policies and practices that create meaningful, lasting improvements. Whether it’s through programs, workshops, or shifts in culture, our leadership can help build a school where students feel safe, valued, and motivated to succeed.

2025-09-12 16:27:53 UTC

Learning from one another and bringing forth great strategies and ideas to help us all grow and learn best practices to support our families.

We can drive system change by being student centered and focusing on what we know / research shows works for learning

A collaborative, focused and open minded culture in which participants assume best intent, seek clarity and understanding and highlight eachother strengths

2025-09-12 16:28:32 UTC

An open and collaborative culture with assumed best intent would be needed.

I strive to continue to build a culture that promotes an alternative school experience, that honors the unique needs of each individual student and embraces the identities, cultures, and families that shape them.

2025-09-12 16:28:41 UTC

2025-09-12 16:28:59 UTC

A culture of commitment, safety and collaboration. A culture that is solution focused and celebrates the gains we've made while continuing to look for new ways to grow.

I see this leadership team leading the change of hearts and minds that impacts how we think about what we do and how we do it.

2025-09-12 16:29:27 UTC

At the heart of this work is a culture of professional trust: we are all on the same team, assuming positive intent as we move forward together.

2025-09-12 16:29:30 UTC

Including everyone's voice and being very intentional about how we shape out shared space and leadership...

vlokteff2 — 2025-09-12 16:29:37 UTC

We have the opportunity to address ongoing obstacles to supporting students and families- as well as think proactively in order to set up CTs for success, along with all departments serving students

tbartosh2 — 2025-09-12 16:29:41 UTC

hochoa17 — 2025-09-12 16:29:42 UTC

A safe and positive culture is critical to the work of advisory. While respecting the tremendous work that has occurred, we need a culture that allows us to collaborate to find the best possible solution to move everyone forward.

Sofia

spalma35 — 2025-09-12 16:29:46 UTC

To accomplish these goals, we need to build and sustain a culture that is collaborative, transparent, and student-centered. This means fostering open communication where all voices are valued, ensuring mutual respect and trust among members, and creating a space where ideas can be shared without hesitation. Just as important, we must ground our work in cultural competence and awareness, while recognizing and honoring the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives within our school community. By committing to equity, inclusivity, and continuous reflection, we create a culture where every member feels respected, heard, and empowered to contribute.

Continue to build upon a culture of inclusion and creative thinking

2025-09-12 16:49:41 UTC

I hope that advisory supports collective solutions for needs that impact students most. I hope that includes all voices of educators who support our students and staff.

2025-09-12 16:50:23 UTC

By sharing what is currently possible and by staying open to what could be possible in the future.

2025-09-12 16:51:05 UTC
