Week at a Glance November 26-30, 2018

Welcome Back, Leaders!

Not going to lie. 
I really did not want to go to a leadership training the district sent me to last week. 

(Blech. No!!!! Too much to do!!!)   
However, I went..."volun-told" but... I went.   And of course...I loved it!

The theme of the day was growth and change... which is a topic that is hard for us but I have grown to LOVE!  Here are a few of my favorite and most reflective tidbits that you might enjoy-because EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU is a leader!

• Leaders should constantly change!
•  How can leaders expect growth from others when they are not growing?
• These areas are good questions to ask yourself:
• Am I a good listener? Am I open to change? Do I ask more questions than answer them? Do I understand the difference between being adaptable and conforming?
• Everyone must UNLEARN to RELEARN. So...you do something (enter/test)...you fail... you learn why you failed...you improve...and you "re-enter" (try again)!
• You MUST know and understand the difference between criticism and feedback. (Feedback comes from those who TRULY want you to get better!)
• Leadership takes CHARACTER-see my new favorite quote below!

~A GINORMOUS SHOUT OUT to 4th grade teachers, Laura Wells, and friends (4th Grade Math and Science Teacher)  for  hosting their annual family potluck!  So fun to see everyone together-just enjoying each other no matter your background!
