In this episode, we explore the "Portrait of a GA Teacher" a collective identity at the Greencastle-Antrim School District that transcends mere rules to focus on a shared "collective essence." We dive into the district's foundational filter—Commitment to Children First—and discuss how this guiding principle transforms everything from daily classroom interactions to high-level budgeting decisions.
