Key Takeaways:

Create a staff Facebook page to help with onboarding new teachers Create staff Buddy systems Create a mentor system that that creates deeper relationships than the current required mentor system Support teachers from being overwhelmed by following the 3 steps of buddy system, resource bank, and human interaction Make sure you follow a tested and successful coaching framework whenever you are engaging and empowering teachers Educators want to make their leaders happy. They just need to know they're supported in return If teachers could do better they would. So it's up to the leaders to find out what's holding them back and take care of it Leaders need to provide space for educators to take risks and then accept them for where they are Stick to the appropriate pace that is acceptable by the community and the school when instituting change Give teachers agency when it comes to which digital tools they want to use to increase their students agency Huge paradigm shift about teachers being told to teach rather than facilitate.
