I hope you all had a great summer, mine was very busy as I spent time with family: weddings, sweet sixteen, birthdays, funerals, trips, house renovation, etc...
Previously, I was a ULit coach for 4 years.  Today, I am a little nervous about working with two different schools because there is going to be a lot of getting used to and shifting from one school culture/atmosphere to another and keeping myself grounded in the work ahead as well as organized to accomplish our goals . But I am also excited about my new role and I hope to learn more each day as we never, ever stop learning something new!

Have a great day/year evryone ]]> 2022-09-06 13:19:36 UTC https://padlet.com/krcraig/y72q2j32bu4e886s/wish/2284624278 https://padlet.com/krcraig/y72q2j32bu4e886s/wish/2284632685 My name is Leslie and I'm looking forward to this new position as an AIS Coordinator.

When it rains, it storms, but remember the rainbow that come after.

I have taught for about 27 years. I started teaching in High School through a college/ High School program. 

This summer was a season for change. I choose to leave my 18 year stretch because I believe in what we can accomplish as coaches and leader.

I look forward to learning from all of you and imparting our knowledge  to other teacher so our students can become aware of their assets and we are better equipped as serving  their needs.]]> 2022-09-06 13:36:31 UTC https://padlet.com/krcraig/y72q2j32bu4e886s/wish/2284655139 https://padlet.com/krcraig/y72q2j32bu4e886s/wish/2284662323 Hi everyone!
