A1 - when I hear personal and authentic- I think of vulnerability, trust, conversation #HCISDReads

A2 moments of conversation or experience with students, staff, and parents- those moments when you learn something or can help in some way or maybe see something from a different lense outside of my own understanding #HCISDReads

A3 this chapter took me back to when I was a teacher- i think of my principal at that time, Mr. Wood! He was supportive, encouraging, and truly believed in me. #HCISDReads

A4 I’m visible and greet my team and students- help where help is needed! #HCISDReads

Q1 My why is to help students succeed in whatever way that looks like for them because each child is different and each child CAN succeed!
