Were there, I, I assume, and, and without paying your, your full consulting fee, what are some of the big takeaways from those f- or were there some commonalities? Were some things that, that most of those top schools had in common?

My next project here that I know that I finished the thesis is I wanna write a book.

I wanna write a book about this year.

I wanna get into all of the wonderful schools, the takeaways.

I wanna get into the things that make really bad schools, and I wanna ma- get into the things, even more importantly, that make wonderful schools.

"What is it that sets these schools apart?" was a question that I continually asked.

And of course, I'm using that lens of school culture.

Yeah.

Mm

... and helped me to be humble enough to ask for help and to say, "Hey, Principal, you know, Karen Commonwealth, come into my class whenever you want.

I need to get better at this." And, "Hey, Scott Hayden, Director of Teaching and Learning, I'm not that great of a teacher yet.

I wanna be though, and I know that you are 'cause you do this job.

So come into my class and give me a pointer every time you're here and just, just email it to me." And these people were so instrumental in kind of the, the growth side.

Again, you know, God uses the willing.

I was just wanting to learn.

Mm
