A6: Pie in the sky guest....Gerry Brooks. More reasonable request....guests who haven't had their perspectives shared yet. #F4Leaders

A5: Hands down...split my pants. This one has the best chance of a quick fix. My colleagues would have my back and someone would have a solution for me. :) That was an easy one...we need something trickier Dr. Courtney Orzel Kate Koch #F4Leaders

A4: Yes You Can Do It (ALL)! #F4Leaders

A3.5 (I'm totally making this up since you didn't ask this!) My favorite part of the episodes is when you play Would You Rather? Always love a good game of WYR. #F4Leaders

A3: I've really enjoyed some of the more 'non traditional' guests who aren't connected to education. I like hearing their thinking....it's a fresh perspective. Kate Swenson has been one of my favorites and I'm currently enjoying her book. #F4Leaders

A2: The biggest misconception about me is that I can do everything. 🤪 I am involved and busy but I need help and support from others too. #F4Leaders (This was a really tough one to answer....)

A1 Unsupervised Leadership means not being afraid to speak up, speak honestly, and empower others to do what they may be afraid to do. #F4Leaders

Hi all! I’m Bethany Martino and I teach 3rd grade in D181. This is my beyond amazing team…we push each other and make each other better every day. Amanda Leyden, NBCT

Thanks Kim Darche for letting Soph bring home this treasure. She’s not happy with me because I won’t let her bring the bag of bones up to her room. I suggested outside as an alternative and that didn’t go over well. 😆 #sd113a Kate Koch Sara Weeks
