Students with disabilities have the right to equal access to educational opportunities, and are also still held accountable for any  disruptive actions or behaviors in the post secondary setting.  "The presence of disability may explain why they engaged in such behavior, but it does not excuse it."

I learned that along the way, you can reassess goals, re-evaluate and change goals to help them be more attainable.  Once goals are attained, you can debrief and figure out what worked and what didn't and come up with best practices and areas for improvement.

Using peak times for critical thinking work, and valleys for digital decluttering and routine work can help with time management.  Also, it is important to set goals and prioritize them.  Logging in long hours or continuously doing busy work does not equal productivity.

In having difficult conversations and working through conflict, it is important to find common ground, see the other person's perspective, and finding resolutions that can work for both of you.  Also, you can work to repair relationships after conflict through resetting the tone with small gestures.  

Finding purpose in your work and having connectedness at work can build your resilience, which helps with managing stress over time.

Leaders must cope with change, while managers cope with complexity in maintaining stability.  You can be a leader with management skills, and also a manager can have leadership skills.

I have learned the difference between leadership and management, and they are not interchangeable.  They work together as the visionaries and the ones that implement.  Leaders can be created through learning and development, demonstrating it to be a myth that leaders are born.

Managers are often the ones to help make a leader's vision happen.  There are several myths to managers that demonstrate that many people believe false things about what a manager should be.  

It is important to budget accordingly and take into account every detail, to ensure financial support.  To budget for a five year plan, each factor is important to consider.

Schools can provide library resources through whatever avenue can work for the school and ensure their students are receiving tools and resources.
