Hey, Deb! I loved this post. You shine right through it! I believe that a title does not MAKE a leader, but it should not hinder your leadership either! It's funny what happens to us when we get labelled differently. I wish you the best of luck in your new responsibility and, knowing you, I am sure you will excell at it. Leading adults is different that leading teens in many ways, but in the deepest, leading sense, it is not. It requires you to be true to yourself and your passion to teach and bring the best to students. It requires the courage to stand up for what you believe and say it clearly. I suspect you have had plenty of practice at that. Upon taking a new role, always bring you passion and commitment with you and be brave. The rest, will come...
