A New Start With Humility & Reflection

This weeks lesson was on humility and reflection.  As the school year is coming to an end things are still a bit stressful but a change is in the air. 
Change started on Tuesday when our principal laid herself open to her staff asking for truth.  Truth about the relationship between administration and staff.  Several times our principal's eyes were moist as she bared her heart and soul open for what would hopefully be constructive criticism in order for healing to begin. This is the mark of a leader who is willing to lead by example.
The sad thing is that not all current staff were there.  The one who needed to be humbled by this left when the bell rang.  The one teacher who is constantly feeling "whoa is me" did not choose to be a part of this healing process but this was her choice. 
I, on the other hand, am looking forward to this new start of working together as a team to benefit our students.
