Thank you - guest speaker Ms Paula

Thank you to Ms Paula for working with the Grade 4 students today.

We listened carefully to you presentation and then worked in small groups to remember what you said when we came back to class. We had discussions about all the jobs that leaders have as we recalled what you shared with us.

We remembered the slide you showed of a rock climber, squash player and surfer. Some of the attributes you demonstrate are committed, risk-taker, confident, dedicated, and balanced.

Ms Paula said that as a leader there are 4 skills you need ..

  • Listening
  • Speaking
  • Reading
  • Writing
How Ms Paula deals with problems at school ..
  • Listens
  • Inquires
  • Research
  • Ask Questions
  • Synthesize information
  • Makes decision
  • Take Action

  • Elementary leadership team with Team leaders

Ms Paula in Grade 4 ... and still is

Ms Paula was bullied but stood up to her bullies and became a leader to help children.
We remember Ms Paula said she started being a leader when she was 30. That is 19 years ago. 
She has been a Team / teacher leader, a PYP Coordinator a Vice Principal and  Principal. 
She follows many leaders on twitter and faces many challenges as a leader.
