I didn't need more technology. I didn't need more textbooks. My philosophy was always to give me good teachers, and that's where I put my blood, sweat, and tears. It was good teaching. That was the golden thread that ran through all of 'em. And the last one was one of America's best urban schools. And they kind of picked us because of our STEM lab and all that was going on in there. But without good teaching, having all of this technology means nothing.” -Lynn Hardin   Get the episode transcript here!!   Lynn’s Resources & Contact Info: Lynn Hardin | Certified Life Coach for Principals Free Planner for Principals Podcast Linkedin Read my latest book!
