A2 I'm still figuring that out at my new school. Have seen my wife @rsharwood1 jump in to build a #Mindfulness program. There are grade level reps & a few committees. Sometimes I think its more from what Ts do than the positions the have or committees they're on tho #AfricaEd

I concur. Teacher initiative is important! For that to happen, the culture of the school is important, which brings us to Q3, coming up in 5 mins! #AfricaEd
