It’s a fabulous day when 2 worlds collide at the RNN Symposium!

Laura was the honest, reflective teacher who supported, encouraged and empowered me as an administrator. She helped bring understanding, sensitivity and appreciation to staff climate and culture.

Not sure it gets much better than engaging in powerful learning around small group instruction AND Thanksgiving dinner! Thank you @OAISD_ELA and @Sara_TePastte!

Leadership is not about being in charge. Leadership is about looking after those in our charge.

[Marie DeGroot @degroot_marie]

Thankful for @Sara_TePastte facilitating @Inno_Zeeland! Her video shared is a powerful reminder about understanding your WHY. Thank you @simonsinek & @Michaeljrcomedy for continuing to highlight. #equip, #empower

“Make the library a positive place! We would rather lose a book than lose a reader.” -Colby Sharp @newsHgts

Thankful for a day of learning with HIL Facilitators. As we reflect on FOCUS and INNOVATION, this speaks volumes.

[Marie DeGroot @degroot_marie]

“People think FOCUS means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. Instead, it means saying no to the 100 other good ideas. You must pick carefully. I'm as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done. INNOVATION is saying no to 1,000 things.” -Steve Jobs

[Marie DeGroot @degroot_marie]

Attitude is everything! Special thanks to the teachers, staff and students @NewaygoPS for #equipping and #encouraging one another to do their very best!
