In reply to @jonbartelt

MPC_Principals Aug 14 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Q2 The Status Quo is the known. To improve for a better outcome is the unknown. Takes courage and knowlledge to go forward! #P12Leaders

RustyMayInc Aug 14 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2: Because change is hard. It takes time and work. #P12Leaders

hsstricker8 Aug 14 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2. Because doing the same is easier. Need to encourage and support. Listen and make teachers feel valued #P12Leaders

korytellers Aug 14 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2 Something I think that is important to remember is that not all of our Ss need big and loud to get excited about things.+ #P12Leaders
