Lessons learned from Week 2. . . . 

One of the major things I learned from this week was how much data is emphasized now in schools.  From watching the interviews of the Scholars it really opened my eyes to how significant it is in dealing with students.  I also learned that Action research is something that is not extremely hard to incorporate into one's daily schedule.  You must be open to it and it should be done often if you want to be a successful leader for your Teachers.  Lastly, I learned a very great quote, "If you're green you're growing and if you're brown you're dying."  This quote was used by Dr. Timothy Chagois who is the Director of Research, Planning and Development at Beaumont ISD and by this he is saying that you never stop learning.  I agree with him 100% because no one should ever get to the point in their life where they feel as though they've learned everything because that is not a recipe for success.
