[Good leaders] Their decisions are rooted in the people in front of them.  If they had different teachers in the building, they would make different decisions--because they listen to teachers

Being in charge of how my students learn...what an amazing thing it would be if I had more say in the curriculum and the time I get to put into it. Some classrooms are still using scripted lessons

Not worrying about bells and hours means that  conversations around mental health, self-care, sustainability are more at the forefront.

I do read researchers. there are some I really like.  However, i go to the classrooms.  Everything you need to know is in the room.  The teachers have the answers.

Turnover.  Particularly in early childhood education and social/emotional relationships staff build with leaders, there is a great deal of turnover.

28 years effecting change in the field, elements change.  Used to be professionalizing field of early childhood.  Feel like that has happened, where I am now.

I love seeing teachers who are happy all around the building, not just in their classrooms for the sake of the kids. Happy teachers are effective teachers.

Structure that recognizes strong leadership.  Funder leads the board.  Board wants Rafel to tell them what needs to be done and be able to defend it.  NECC keeps saying no, you can't do that.  Clear shared decsion-making fact based unemotional system for five schools.

The barriers are not being able to commit to being an instructional leader due to managerial tasks and compliance issues

Committed to race + equity in education, going in depth.  Want to be rooted in literature.  Rooted in facts/research.  Really excited by academia/literature.  Self-identifies as a knowledge person--loves history, documents, understanding why things are the way they are.  Frustrated when others aren’t as receptive, or when the way things are done in school districts doesn’t align to research that has already been done.

It takes time.  You have to show instead of tell.  Greatest support comes from BECF.

Make it less personal.  There's this notion that there is a power structure and a power hunger, when really the focus should be on the mission and vision of what we're doing.  Do what's best for children and families.  Is this good for staff.  Is this a true expectation that we can live with.

My supervisor taught me everything I should not do as a supervisor.  She basically said we're going to fix this and switched assignments.  I took away that I did need to understand, but I moved away from this "both sides matter" there is a right side and a wrong side.  I want to be on the right side in all situations.

When a person said she couldn't be supervised by a black person, stunned by that conversation.  Showed trying to understand and empathize.

I get inspiration from NPR--listen to it on my drive.  It doesn't have to be about education.  I will usually follow up and maybe read a book about it later

That students will be owners of their learning where they can articulate her learning goals.  That would be amazing
