In just 2 hours, I crafted a video entirely on my iPhone—from scripting to filming and editing. Here's how: •Crystal Clear Vision: I started with a precise idea of the message and atmosphere I wanted to convey, laying a solid foundation for the project. •Efficient Coaching: Quickly and effectively guiding those on camera ensured smooth filming and captured the essence of the message. Their willingness to participate was crucial. •Strategic Equipment Use: Leveraging affordable gear like $15 wireless lapels from Amazon and using cinematic mode on my iPhone, I achieved high-quality results without breaking the bank. •Intelligent Editing Decision: Editing in Canva seamlessly integrated branding elements, typography, and color schemes, resulting in a cohesive and professional video. •Action-Oriented Approach: By diving in without overthinking, I embraced creativity and spontaneity, leading to a fast and effective production. While not professional-grade, the video served its purpose effectively. Though lacking the polish of a professional studio, the video's effectiveness and quick turnaround highlight the importance of resourcefulness and maintaining standards in communication. Even with limited tools, it's possible to convey messages effectively and impactfully.

We are celebrating Family Day in support of American Education Week!   Family and guardians taking active roles in their child’s education on a daily basis can be crucial for optimal success at school. Schools can ensure parents and caregivers are equipped with the information they need by establishing successful communication systems. Here are a few suggestions:   -Consider resource learning sessions that take place where families and caregivers congregate. -Meet at libraries, grocery stores, churches, or community centers. -Account for translation needs in diverse communities. -Offer community-centered restorative practices and events for families, community leaders, and school representatives. For example, set up an event with a dialogue facilitator on becoming comfortable having uncomfortable conversations.   What are some ways you have found communicating with families and guardians that has led to student success? #AEW2023

🎉 Danny here, your connection and belonging ambassador! 🎉 What an extraordinary day we had with Aledo ISD's new teachers yesterday, right? Sharing stories, building bridges, and creating a community that feels more like a family. If our hearts are the homes, our stories are the bricks that build them. And you folks, you're some of the best builders I've met. 👷♂️🏠 As new educators, you're not just teaching lessons but shaping lives. Remember to remember the stories around you because each is a stepping stone to connection and belonging. Here's the thing, though. This isn't just about schools. It's about counseling practices, places of faith, workplaces, and anywhere humans gather and share their journey. Feel free to reach out if you want someone to help you build these connections. We're all in this together. 🤝 And yes, for my fellow lifelong learners, we do offer CEUs! So, if you're eager to learn more about fostering connection and belonging, email me at danny@dlrcounselinggroup.com. Thanks for being part of this amazing day, Aledo ISD. Here's to creating communities, one story at a time. Keep shining, keep connecting, and remember - every story matters. Until next time, friends! #TheMessages #MessagesonConnectionandBelonging #Connection #Belonging #Community #NewEducators #DannyLRoss #DLRCounselingGroup
