  2. Not sure that I have done any of this correctly. I push each button with fear of a complete computer meltdown, but here goes nothing.
    I have found "The Leader in Me" to be very thought provoking. It has forced me to reflect on the job I am currently doing in the classroom, but even more, to remember back to the time when I did sooooo much more. I refuse to blame it on the kids, the changing times, or the fact that I am getting older. I have settled and it is time to mix things up a bit.
    "Primary Greatness" simply means being the best person that you are capable of being. How is this taught? It begins through positive role modeling, and it is rooted in the "Golden Rule" of how we treat others. At one time, I did get caught up in the emphasis and/or obsession with test scores, but that's been years ago. I am, however, still very much concerned and focused on teaching, modeling, and helping our children achieve primary greatness. We sometimes forget that we, even in middle school, are teaching children. Children. They are all capable of learning and in becoming their best.
