Those Special Teachers and Lessons for Leaders

Effective teachers are the ones that inspired you to exceed your potential. They knew you could do better and they did not settle for work that was simply "good enough." They helped you reached heights you did not think possible. One case in point for me was Ms. Hurst (I am blessed there were others), my advanced math teacher from high school. 
School leaders, my question for you is why would this relationship be any different for you and your staff? Educational leaders owe it to the people they work with to provide the feedback and focus they need to grow and exceed their potential. Honor the great work that teachers are doing by giving them appropriate feedback and support they need to exceed their potential. Lead by example. Our kids will be the real winners.
