Why? by Katy Grondin https://padlet.com/kgrondin1/pu4j2wfweqhn Why did you become an administrator? en-us 2018-08-06 11:43:48 UTC 2018-08-06 13:40:04 UTC hello@padlet.com Mike D mdmystro https://padlet.com/kgrondin1/pu4j2wfweqhn/wish/272076530 I became an administrator because of my passion for working with students and adults. I was inspired to be an administrator by my past principals here in Auburn. Their positive, engaging relationships with staff had a huge impact on my successes in the classroom. I hold high regard for relationships and truly believe that administrators who lead with this foundation will succeed in their educational journey. As an administrator I strive to create, and sustain this positive climate among students, staff, parents and community.
