My favorite form of impactful leadership is quiet one-on-one interactions with others. I love seeing the thrill in a student's eyes when they discover their own capacity. And, the outcome is amplified when their peers notice and see that strength in their classmate.

The power of a PLC book club can go farther than I think most of us realize, myself included! But, there is something amazing about coming together as a trusted group of professionals, selecting a common challenge and area of growth, learning about it together, strategizing how to use in the classroom, and coming together again to discuss success/failure of attempts at implementation with the intent to continue to improve and grow as a team. These learning-centered practices had some of the largest impact on student learning last year.

Our school is so willing to experiment and grow right now. I think our biggest challenge is maintaining our momentum and focus. We need to continue helping teachers crave the buzz they get from intentionally causing visible learning among their students.
