Do you want to succeed? How will you do it? What's holding you back?
Too many times we see the elephant in the room and lose focus on our goal.
Don't Feed Elephants was written for business owners, entrepreneurs and everyone who has a vision or goal. Trust your vision and ask the right questions to keep moving forward.
"Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." Winston Churchill
"You just can't beat the person who won't give up." Babe Ruth
"Successful men and women keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit." Conrad Hilton
How you define success is going to be different than the person sitting next to you. It will be different from your parents, siblings, friends, and co-workers. Take a deep breath and repeat until you believe it: Only you can define what your success means.
If you carefully consider what you want to be said of you in the funeral experience,
you will find your definition of success. Stephen Covey
You have high expectations of yourself and want to succeed. That's as it should be. Having a goal and wanting to reach it is what moves us forward.
Remember, however, that we are all running on what we believe success is and can be. What we need to understand is that we are all different.

Описание: Rich clinical preparation combined with progressive experiences in professional development school (PDS) settings are proposed to bring about systemic and impactful transformation of educator preparation and professional growth in order to improve and enhance P-12 student learning. In this book, diverse authors describe their efforts to forge PDS partnerships to develop and deliver high quality training and practical experiences for candidates, and simultaneously provide professional development for experienced practitioners in ways that mirror recommendations found in authoritative reports and literature. The authors’ collective wisdom is vividly captured in the multi-voiced chapters that are collaborations between cooperating teachers, school administrators, county and district level administrators, university supervisors, and instructional faculty.The contexts authors write about are recognizable, and the accomplishments they experienced and challenges faced will resonatewith institutions courageously undertaking change or renewal. The book will be invaluable to school and university faculty and administrators as they transition to a partnering model of clinical preparation for teacher candidates: it will help stakeholders decide if their schools and institutions are ready to commit to a partnership, and highlight the benefits they stand to gain, but realistically address challenges that may be faced by administrators and faculties as well as teacher candidates in the PDS enterprise.
