A Principal's Reflections
NOVEMBER 13, 2016
As educators it is important that we model the expectations that we have for our students and each other. To that end, it is vitally important that we continually look for ways to push our own thinking and leadership in order to improve professional practice. In my role as a presenter this is key. I routinely ask all types of educators to be innovative and take risks.

Student agency, which we might loosely define as students’ ability to influence their own learning, undoubtedly plays a critical role in education. Many schools and districts see the value in it, but it has often been difficult to achieve.
