Time for spring break! We will be taking the rest of March off for some rest and recalibration. #leadlap

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

A3: Build your own table and invite others in! #leadlap

Q3 is here! #leadlap #principalsadvocate

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

Q2: #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

A1: Here is a helpful organizer that I use: docs.google.com/document/d/1... #leadlap

Q1 is here! How do you advocate like a pro? #leadlap

I’m Beth, proud principal, author and advocate! I also happen to love shoes! #leadlap

Here we go! Who’s joining us today? #leadlap

We’re back this morning and talking advocacy! I hope you can join us at 9:30am central! #leadlap #edusky www.nassp.org/2023/04/11/w... @burgessdave.bsky.social

I was reminded that if we’re lucky we can do things within our control in a time that feels chaotic. Inspired by one line I felt driven to write. #leadlap @bethhouf.bsky.social @burgessdave.bsky.social @jaybilly2.bsky.social The Work We Hold Onto- takeittotheclassroom.wordpress.com/2025/02/28/t...

Have a great week, #leadlap family. Take time for you so you can take time for others next week.

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

The chat is on for this morning! We will dive into navigating the political changes as a school principal. #leadlap

There will not be a #leadlap chat today. Have a great weekend!

Have a fabulous week everyone!! Thank you for joining in! #leadlap

Forgot my #leadlap hashtag

Q4: Last question! What are you looking forward to this week?

A3: It’s that time of the year where people can get more easily overwhelmed. I want to work on ensuring support is given by checking in without leaving anyone out. #leadlap

Q3: What’s a problem you are trying to solve for next week? #leadlap

A2: A midweek snow day was appreciated to catch up but hard to recover from organizationally. #leadlap

Q2: What’s a challenge you had to overcome this week? #leadlap

Q1: What’s something great that’s happened this week? #leadlap

Good morning and welcome to #leadlap Time to say hello and introduce yourself!

Good morning! We will see you in 30 minutes for this week’s #leadlap chat!

Time for our last question! #leadlap

A2: It’s been heartbreaking to see the national attack on education. There are so many amazing things happening in our schools that are overshadowed by a false narrative. Such an important time to be an advocate. #leadlap

Q3-let’s lighten it up! #leadlap

Q2 is here! #leadlap

A1: Just spend a long weekend in Chicago at the @NASSP student leadership conference with some amazing student leaders. We had the chance to share our story as well as learn and have fun together. #leadlap

Q1 has dropped! #leadlap

I’m Beth, #leadlap author and proud high school principal. Recovering after dancing the night away at Night to Shine with some of my Cavaliers!

Good morning and welcome to #leadlap Time for welcome and intros! Tell us who’s joining us this morning. #leadlap #edusky

We’re back! Hope you can join us at 9:30 central! #leadlap

Hi all! #leadlap is on a break this weekend! Enjoying Chicago with student leaders at the NASSP #nextstopleadership conference!

A3: Taking time to really listen to feedback from those affected. Sometimes, with good intentions, we try to solve the problem quickly. #leadlap

Last question for the week! Let’s get to work! #leadlap

A2: Family partnerships in high school is another area that we are exploring. How can we provide opportunities beyond athletics and activities? #leadlap
