"It is important to me to build rapport and trust with the teachers on my team. I value getting to know them on a personal level, along with hearing about their professional goals. I have weekly check-ins with my team, as well as monthly and quarterly meetings, where we talk about short-term and medium-term objectives and concerns that they might have. I'm very big on giving feedback as immediately as I can and following up to see if they're implementing it. I ask them to come up with positives from the new implementations and see if there are any negatives. This is the continual feedback system that I use to improve the team."
