Saturday Oct. 11 Thoughts
Among many interesting conversations one thing really stood out to me on Saturday. I had never thought about there being conflict between the principal and the counselor. This was something that was mentioned but not elaborated on much. My thinking was that if we are all out for the same goal (student achievement) that we should avoid much conflict by using data to together look at what the schools needs and then implement research based methods to increase student achievement. I guess where the conflict arises is when we have the same goal in mind but feel different ways of implementation are necessary.
