One theme that resonated with me was discussing the knowledge and skill sets needed for teachers beginning to explore their leadership potential. While many schools and districts offer new teacher mentoring programs, there is a lack of formal programs or supports for emerging teacher leaders.

In our many conversations over the last few weeks, Leigh has made clear that what he is interested in is a family home that can also be a learning place. Leigh has inspired me to think of everyday places as places for learning.

It has also taken a firm hold in the field of experiential education since in many outdoor education centers team building and leadership development are key goals.

I am a 21-year veteran teacher who took a whole boatload of education courses in furtherance of my BA and MS degrees. They were utterly useless. The only thing that actually prepared me for teaching was student teaching. All of the other courses taught theory, but nothing practical.
