As a result, teachers are overwhelmed and students needs are not being met fully. The district is demanding a lot from teachers without preparing them. The leaders in this case are NOT being empowered to lead, grow, or serve. ]]> 2017-11-16 19:45:57 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_g_pike/i1e2p95sze0h/wish/207873905
