Hello! Chuck from Dinwiddie checking in. Thanks to Weldon Bradshaw for showing me what an admin should be and to Don Epps, my brother from another mother! #Vaespchat

Amy Schott A1. Beginning of year assessments. Collect data, center work and a WIN period to focus on certain standards to grow in small groups! #VAESPChat

A1- we’ve committed to beginning each math block with spiral intentional number talks K -5! This has transformed our students deep understanding of mathematics with LOTS of talk and discourse!! #VAESPCHAT

Q2 As the tide of hiring season rolls in for the upcoming school year, what advice would you offer your colleagues to effectively recruit and hire staff who will help advance your Division and school’s goals? #vaespchat

Principals need to be able to clearly communicate their vision and how the interviewee fits into that vision #VAESPchat

A2: Hiring is a 365 day a year job. We need to be proactive & we need to identify & build a school that attracts candidates to want to work with us! #vaespchat

Q2 Don’t rush and be patient, stay committed to hiring the BEST! It maybe challenging but worth the wait! Our students deserve the best not just someone to fill a spot! Trust your gut and involve your teachers - they know who’s best too! #VAESPCHAT

Amy Schott A1 Our home has 4 programs to support our Jags & all require Tier 3 interventions. This yr, the required expectation(s) for all was writing exit tickets and breaking down a lesson by having stations. We will continue & fine tune these 2 practices. Growth was observed #VAESPCHAT

A2 - Remember that every day is an opportunity to market your school and recruit. They are always watching even when you don't see it. Sell your school every chance you get! #vaespchat

Q3 Engaged parents don’t just wade in - they take the plunge, emotionally invested and confident their child is valued. As you prepare to dive deep into continuous improvement for the 2025-26 school year, how can these deep connections guide your planning? #vaespchat

Q3 Listen to your fully engaged families and put their feedback into action! Use surveys, conversations, email chats anything that informs you on how to continue to improve their investments in the school and achievement! #VAESPCHAT

Amy Schott A2 Hire people who like kids & in the interview THAT needs to shine. You can coach pedagogy NOT liking kids. Next, listening to Principal Kafele show w/Todd Whitaker who has specific questions to ask when checking for a reference. Plz actually call prior boss #VAESPCHAT

Q4 An administrator’s work doesn’t stop when the final bell rings, but even the best swimmers need time to float and breathe. As you head into summer, what are two things you’ll do to recharge your energy and dive back into educational leadership with renewed passion? #vaespchat

Amy Schott A3 We need to improve this part of our vision. We hardly, if ever, have conflict with parents. We greet them at the start of the day and admin made 575 positive calls home. Our team members needed to do 5 per week, so now its time to have more parents visit our home #VAESPCHAT
