Opinion Leaders
o Natural stature and credibility in a school o Influence o Expertise o Just because they have influence doesn’t
mean they have it in all areas (might just be kindergarten or sports or an area)
31 www.net-ref.com Vicki Davis @coolcatteacher
Know your teachers
o You can’t make forward progress when you are just hanging on for dear life
o Sometimes it is OK to “opt out” but not every time.
o People know their own life situation best (they’re not telling you everything)
32 www.net-ref.com Vicki Davis @coolcatteacher
How Are You Turtling?
o Ask teachers how they are turtling. o Talk to teachers about progress o Help them celebrate the wins o Point out the wins (sometimes they don’t
know they are there)
