More learning in one year than previous 24

During my 24 years in school administration, I have had a lot of professional development, and I would say this is the first year that I felt like my growth and learning were central to one person, and that was Dr. Dumas. This past year I learned more about how to run a meeting, how to develop team members, and how to be intentional in both product and process to lead change.”
