🤔 I get nervous when I hear, "Kids can Google information" to diminish the importance of knowledge & advocate only for competencies. Yes, we can be more judicious with required memorization, but students still need to understand how science, math, the arts, etc. work!

Just because some teachers would rather stay in the classroom than go into administration doesn’t mean they aren’t leaders. Many have amazing talents which can benefit a school. Good leaders value them as experts and help maximize their talents for betterment of school & students
