         <title>I am here working with colleagues because, together, the thinking and planning we do for our year is more effective and better keeps the needs of students at the forefront than any work one of us do alone. We value conversations and work that leverage the expertise and opinions of all staff, and believe collective work is the best way to improve education for students. </title>
