classroom. In my opinion there is a distinction between what a Teacher Leader is able to do and what I can do because I am not part of any one team, or involved in the day to day of the classroom. I would like to be assigned to a specific team perhaps and have the parameters of what I can bring to the table clearly outlined for both myself and my colleagues. That way I know what is clearly expected of me and feel like I'm still an integral part of the teaching team. It will be much easier if there's no principal change! More structures set in for when and how we are supporting the ongoing work of the teachers. Again, as a beginning teacher, I need the opportunity to share with others and receive feedback, support, and resources. I need the support of my administration to advocate for me and trust my philosophy and experience. I also need my peers to value my opinions and listen to the ideas I have coming right out of teacher training. I need the support of the school board and it's branches (such as Early Learning Network and area strategists) to advocate for me and my students and provide resources and support. We need to take all of the work from today's session and use the solutions to reframe our school leadership agenda. We will make the TEF more visible from the get go next year and start designing tasks through the discipline approach brought forth at the last meeting. We be more committed to bring the work forward within the walls of our school to encourage
