For leaders in any profession or field: Allow the people you are in charge of to share their talents and give them a chance to achieve in any way as often as possible. @acelaustralia Being a leader is HARD, Being ready to lead but not given the opportunity is HARDER #ACEL

Amazing Job! What a treat it was to not only present my story and represent @ceacg but also hear some amazing voices in Education. Can't wait to see what comes next @acelaustralia #RelationshipsMatter #NC22 #ACEL

Much reflection still happening a week after @acelaustralia Conf. Teachers No.1 focus/priority should be to constantly advocate for their students. Leaders No.1 focus/priority should be to advocate for their teachers so they have the best chance to do just that #NC22 #ACEL

An amazing @acelaustralia Key Note from @amyjccuddy so many of our "wins" with students come from the idea of Trust. The best way to earn a student's respect is from TLC (Trust, Love and Care) #acel2022 #NC22 #relationshipsMatter

My challenging Student: "Mr. A, I liked that you trusted me to do that, even though sometimes your trust is misplaced I like that you trust me." 😂 Me: "Mate, My job is to trust you each day. Your job is to earn that trust each day". @acelaustralia

Problem leaders face is trying to make square pegs fit in round holes. Schools trying to Implement amazing initiatives or make positive change but do they have the staff, culture and infrastructure to do it. Schools need to know "where they are at" @TheLearningPit #NC22 #ACEL

helping them achieve their goals both personally, emotionally & academically. We need to ensure we are doing is preparing those students coming out of our institutions so they are ready to be those teachers. @acelaustralia #NC22 #RelationshipsMatter

Teachers that will be in schools leading the way over the next 10 years will be true lovers of the craft, they will be the ones that are student focused who are there because they genuinely love working with young people.....@acelaustralia

Great teachers/leaders always understand "Types of Respect" 3 reasons that S's show respect 1. Respect of Fear😨 2. Respect of Authority🚨 3. Respect of Trust/Love/Care(TLC)💚 I know which one I'm aiming for. @acereduau @teacherACER @acelaustralia #ACEL #NC22 #RelationshipsMatter
