A school is like a family. And in a healthy family, there are strong boundaries. @WishFischer #WATeachLead @CORElaborate corelaboratewa.org/blog/teac…
@TeachLearnHope shares how she connects with her students through engaging their dreams for themselves. #WATeachLead @corelaboratewa corelaboratewa.org/blog/teac…
Here is the archive of yesterday's chat. Thanks to all who participated! #WATeachLead wakelet.com/wake/6aadd6ab-e7…
Thanks for that. :-) #wateachlead
I finally led one.
Sitting and chatting is fun.
Leading is stressful.

A9: I feel like we do one too many things at our school to make our work "fun". We have Secret Santa, parties, dress up days, special staff things... Sometimes I want to do my work and be done. I am modeling saying "no" on occasion. #wateachlead
For a deeper dive, see my blog post on the topic. :-) #wateachlead corelaboratewa.org/blog/teac…
A8: We have the mom who wants to be one of the kids sometimes (ie. Principal who misses being part of the teacher team). It's lonely being the leader of your co-workers sometimes. #WATeachLead
I have had that experience where their "help" was not at all helpful. #WATeachLead
A6. I am learning about parent volunteers this year because there are more volunteers available at my new school. To get settled, I have had to be firm about not having parent volunteers. Some parents pushed back at first but now we are starting to have volunteers. #WATeachLead
Good for you! I was part of our Music Ed Leadership Team downtown. It was one thing too many. I sent the email, "In the interest of self care, I am resignigning from this committee." I didn't apologize. They totally got it. #WATeachLead

A7: I've taken on the chair role of our PBIS Tier 2 team. It's mostly awesome. My admin is usually open to my reminders and leadership in that context. Usually. I think communication is always key: when something is missing, put it in. #WATeachLead
No. That's not fair. #WATeachLead
A6: One year a parent told me that my job was to make sure his daughter learned the math and if that meant I was to stay at school every night until 7pm, then so be it. It was very thought provoking: If I'm working harder than the student...is that fair? #WATEACHLEAD
Seahawks... is that the one with the baskets?#WATeachLead
