PLC WEEK 1
Be Excellent!
Excellence is all about being the best we can be and maximizing our gifts, talents and abilities to perform at our highest potential. I believe that to be our best we must focus more on excellence! We must focus on being the best we can be and realize that our greatest competition is ourself.
If we teach to the best of our ability we will be happy with the outcome. When we focus on teamwork, mastering the fundamentals, daily improvement and the process that excellence requires the outcome will be student success.
Jon Gordon says that "we have a choice as individuals, organizations and teams. We can focus on success and spend our life looking around to see how our competition is doing, or we can look straight ahead towards the vision of greatness we have for ourselves and our teams. We can look at competition as the standard or as an indicator of our progress towards our own standards. We can chase success or we can embark on a quest for excellence and focus 100% of our energy to become our best... and let success find us."
Let's make Hackberry Excellent!
Keep Howling my Friends!
