Thank you for sharing this article, Julie!

I worked at a high school for a few years after college and struggled with the above in terms of the expectations we were setting for our students. I felt that we could raise the bar higher then it had been set- challenging those bright students to jump higher, but the agreed upon thought was that they were barely doing better then we were asking them to do at the moment. The administration thought we would be setting them up for failure, while I felt that we were wasting their potential by not asking more.

Especially after reading your post, I see the value- dare I say the need- to allow both career development and performance growth to occur simultaneously and without judgment of what could be possible by that individual.
