Above all, I am convinced that one can only walk the long haul of leadership through a sense of calling. It is knowing one&#8217;s calling that creates the stick-to-itiveness to continue in a place of leadership over time. I believe I have that calling and this leg of my journey is to equip myself further through taking a Masters of Educational Leadership. This blog will document my journey and unfolding development.<\/p>\n<p>I titled my website &#8220;Lead-Innovate-Revolutionize&#8221; based on some readings I did this summer from George Couros. His book &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/georgecouros.ca\/blog\/archives\/5715\">The Innovators Mindset<\/a>&#8221; was compelling for me. His premise was that as educators and educational leaders, we need to be constantly innovating. What is innovating? To take something and make it &#8220;new and better&#8221;. To extend others&#8217; thinking. To take an idea and make it great. My hope is that through this program, I will become &#8220;new and better&#8221; and will revolutionize my practice so that I can be a compelling leader, bringing others along with me to innovate as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Dawn and I am a mom to 5 great kids, wife to an amazing husband, and a Vice-Principal at a middle school in the Kootenays of BC.\u00a0 Leadership has always been a pursuit of mine, and I [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":344,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-40","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","clearfix"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/leadinnovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/40","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/leadinnovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/leadinnovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/leadinnovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/344"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/leadinnovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/leadinnovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/40\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":153,"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/leadinnovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/40\/revisions\/153"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/leadinnovation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
