This was the third and final day of our Summer Connections conference at Mooresville NC. While there are many tool and neat apps that I would love to share, I am going to restrain now and share a couple thoughts about team work.
Teamwork is a culture. It takes effort to build and it takes time to grow. Just like planting a tree from a tiny seed. Teams need time to ponder, time to chat, time to work, time to laugh, time to play, time to share and time to collaborate. This trip helped to bond my team. We traveled together and ate together. We enjoyed keynotes and presentations, we asked questions and networked, we looked for others success and discussed how we would do it, we bowled and we danced and most importantly we grew. We grew in knowledge, belief, patience and communication.
While this was an experience that took place throughout this Summer Connections conference, I believe this is a similar experience that you can have as a learner. You can make connections, network, collaborate with others, work on a project, enjoy a lunch with an old friend, or just listen to another, and through that you can grow. So grow where you are and enjoy it. I sure did. I can. You can. We can.
I thank the Belton School District for allowing me an opportunity to attend such a great conference and to support my growth as I try to support our students growth. I believe we can all continue to grow and learn forever.
