If not careful, the individuals begin to carry so much of the load, their light dims and eventually burns out. ]]> 2018-10-29 13:05:38 UTC https://padlet.com/arogers14/pdzivjzagezi/wish/297988195 arogers14 https://padlet.com/arogers14/pdzivjzagezi/wish/298188784 Harry S Truman once said, "It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit". Our focus remains "keeping the main thing the main thing". Our students come first and we are collectively in this altogether. If we do not have effort on everyone's part, then it is up to us to facilitate conversations over what our priorities are and whether or not Hawthorn (or Camdenton) is the best fit for them. Noise/outside forces/the wolf--no matter what we call it, we have to be aware of the impact it can have on our students' learning and overall school culture and do our best to eliminate it. ]]> 2018-10-29 18:07:03 UTC https://padlet.com/arogers14/pdzivjzagezi/wish/298188784
