I was so fortunate to have several years of working in an environment where teachers were a team who looked out for the needs of all the children in the school. We did it really well because we were united and because we looked to one another's abilities to deal with specific issues individual children faced. We were allowed to be the best we could be and to make each other better. Now I get it--our principal, who wasn't always liked, was willing to tell us, "You do this better than anyone else." Then, she got out of the way and let us do it. As a result, students weren't sent to the office very often, teachers knew who had what problems and how other teachers were working on those problems. Our principal was informed, and she was an excellent leader. Her willingness to see that we worked together well and to allow us to have ideas for projects, work with students who needed something extra from us, and enjoy our working environment made all the difference in our world at school. When an assistant superintendent took the principal's place for a day, he informed us that he had a wonderful time because everything ran so smoothly. It was simply what we did every day. Now I get it! :) Now I get it.
