This week I had the honor of hosting the twitter chat for our class. It was really fun to pre-read the material and try to think of questions that could really cause some deep conversations. I was surprised at the questions that did cause conversation. One question specifically that I was holding off on was, “Should a leader's motives be egotistic (self-centered) or alturistic (unselfish)?” People had many things to say and contributed and added ideas to one another.

I loved how articulate she was with her moral purpose and can definitely connect with her. I added on to her thoughts by sharing an article about SEL for students and why it is essential to their learning. Natalie talked about how SMART goals can help us see results in our moral purpose. Fullan talks about how we should have measureable goals to help others achieve results from a guiding moral purpose. I can relate to Natalie with wanting goals, as a special education teacher, my entire job is focused on the goals of my students. Jim talked about how his moral purpose was doing what is best for kids. I shared with him that my daily motto when making decisions is, “what is best for kids?” I also shared a reading challenge that our school does to motivate students to read. Getting kids to have fun and learn at the same time creates lasting habits and memories. This week my blog impacted the learning of Gerald. He was really moved by the video that I shared. It was about a principal in a low income school. She needed leadership with a strong moral purpose to create a learning space that was loving and welcoming. I will post my twitter session as soon as I have access to my computer again.
