ALT “Hard conversations don’t have to be mean conversations. They don’t have to take on a detached or authoritarian tone. Holding people to their greatness is perhaps one of the most loving actions we can take. Real accountability isn’t a ‘gotcha.’ It’s an ‘I see you.’” —Amy Fast, Principal

The leadership that #coaches need to demonstrate involves 2 elements: leading yourself, & leading others. Remember that we're also learning from others when we're leading others.

The work that we do will not always yield immediate results. It takes time, effort, energy, and commitment. Do not be deterred when change is not obvious. Do the work and the results will come. #theresmorewithMPS

Ms. Jones' 2nd grade class paired with Mrs. Evan's class as Reading Book Buddies. They met each other and learned about their shared interests. Book Buddies allows younger readers to see what being a fluent reader looks like.
