Turning to One Another

Most people want to feel that they are part of something

significant, that what they do matters, and that they are contributing members to a common goal that affects

achievement. Teacher leadership meets this need because it creates a greater

sense of ownership, buy-in, and community.

-John G. Gabriel

The art of handling relationships well begins

with acting from your own genuine feelings.

Good leaders are attuned with empathy to the

people they lead, and it all begins with authenticity.
