07+Being+Creative

A leader and being creative. I think it is important to have a leader that is able to be creative. In my position I am constantly trying to think of ways to reach my students who are unwilling to learn or are having behavior issues in the classroom. Several times I have gone to our principal to ask if he had any new ideas I could try with my kids and he tells me that he will get back to me, which he never does. I find myself finding a veteran teacher to have dialogue with and together we are able to find new and creative ways to work with our students. Lambert states that leadership flows from dialogue (pg. 22). If you have a leader that is willing to sit down and discuss ideas you never know what you can come up with together as a team. Lambert also says that learning that is mutual and interactive, therby investing in the growth of all participants (pg. 22)
