**1.** What is your reaction to the authors’ assertion that “ A) No single person has all the knowledge, skills, and talent to lead a district, improve a school, or meet all the needs of every child in his or her classroom. . . . DP I agree- It would be impossible for one person to have all the answers, collaboration is key. BB- You are right. I feel that this is an area where our school is REALLY strong! We have so many people with a variety of areas of expertise, if we are able to share these and help each other grow we will make the greatest impact  B It will take a collaborative effort and widely dispersed leadership to meet the challenges confronting our schools, and . . .  C) Virtually everyone who has elected to enter the field of education has thepotential to lead.”

**2.** Do you agree with... The premise that “great teaching is leadership"?  If so, is merely teaching within your four walls leading?  That the qualities of great leaders and great teachers are similar?  Can you point to examples from your own experience that support your position?
