I think this is such an important blog topic because it can really inspire other innovators out there and encourage them to bring "crazy" ideas to their admin. If you have a trusting support system, anything is possible!Ms. Donlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363588971020779483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850230383845297552.post-5711496069272934702017-01-24T17:45:25.692-08:002017-01-24T17:45:25.692-08:00Thanks, Kirsten.

Passion for kids and hard work do a lot to build your credibility, but when you add your openness for working with other staff collaboratively, it really moves that to trust and opens a lot of future doors for what you're capable of doing for students.Andy Pethanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159258049094512496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850230383845297552.post-8710040072832247772017-01-24T16:33:25.576-08:002017-01-24T16:33:25.576-08:00Andy, this is well said.

I definitely agree with you on that trust is needed for fast change. I truly think trust is something that eventually builds over time and as it builds then change will occur. Keep working hard, it's paying off! Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13038199803907984261noreply@blogger.com
