Welcome to Learn, Connect, Lead. Welcome to a place where we can work and learn together to build and grow our community.

**//“Community begins with a shared vision.//** **//It is sustained by teachers who,//** **//as school//** **//leaders, bring inspiration and direction//** **//to the institution. Who, after all, knows//** **//more about the classroom? Who is better//** **//able to inspire children? Who can//** **//evaluate, more sensitively, the//** **//educational program of each student?//** **//And who but teachers create a true//** **//community for learning?”//** Ernest Boyer (1995)

**//"Nothing within a school has more impact upon students in terms of skills development, self-confidence, or classroom behavior than the personal and professional growth of their teachers.

When teachers stop growing, so do their students //** - Roland Barth media type="custom" key="12106703" align="center"



**//“Staff development that has as its goal high levels//** **//of learning for all students, teachers, and administrators re//****//quires a form of professional learning that is quite different from the workshop-driven approach. The most powerful forms of staff development occur in ongoing teams that meet on a regular basis, preferably several times a week, for the purposes of learning, joint lesson planning, and problem solving. These teams, often called learning communities or communities of practice, operate with a commitment to the norms of continuous improvement and experimentation and engage their members in improving their daily work to advance the achievement of school District and school goals for student learnin//****//g.” NSDC//**
