Thank you all for taking time to discuss the importance of advocacy! We are all advocates and our voices have never been more important! Have a great week! #leadlap
A2: Another topic is ensuring ALL students have opportunity for career connected learning! As a good friend of mine always says, you can’t be what you can’t see! #leadlap #principalsadvocate
A2: The teacher pipeline will always be a continual focus for me. Great teachers matter! #leadlap #principalsadvocate
A1: Less is more. Choose one topic and build a compelling why, the solution and pay special attention to emotions. Don’t forget you are the expert! #leadlap
A1 Frame advocacy with a positive lens. Share the successes. Predict the successes. Let others be part of the potential success. #LeadLAP

A3: Keep helping students and staff navigate hard topics by taking time to listen and talk through concerns. #leadlap
A3: Keep celebrating and embracing diversity, equity, equality, inclusion, belonging, and the belief that we are truly better together. These words and practices have been weaponized and the effects are already crushing. #leadlap
Q3: What must we ensure that we KEEP doing in spite of these changes? #leadlap
A2) when kids are influenced by what they hear without fully grasping the depth of what they are saying we have the responsibility to teach them to honor ALL human beings and although this should not be political our current reality can make it challenging to guide these conversations #leadlap
A2: The hardest thing has been the normalization of hate/bullying/rudeness that can spill over to students. The modeling of leadership matters so much. #leadlap
Q2: What has been the hardest part of these political changes for you as an educator? #leadlap
I’m going to throw a couple more questions out but this is more of a conversation and support group than traditional chat this morning. #leadlap
Q1: So much has happened politically in the past two months. How do you stay current on changes that impact you role as an educator? #leadlap
Good morning and welcome to #leadlap Time for welcome, intros and pulse check. How are YOU? #leadlap
