@MrAliRivera3 In bell hooks book Bradshaw reminds us that: True conscience can only be formed on the inside. It is built on a foundation of inner strengths and good habits. #EDLR5402

Very thought provoking book by bell hooks. Within the book there’s a fond saying by John Bradshaw, “we cannot heal what we cannot feel.” #EDLR5402

As mentioned in my 7/23/2022 tweet. In @FredEnde's book, he stated  “Remember that reflection isn’t something you only do at the absolute end of an experience In fact, it is more powerful when you continually reflect throughout.” #EDLR5402

Successful school principals often have strong ties to the community. They work with parents, business leaders, government officials and others to ensure that the school’s reputation aligns with community values.#EDLR5402
