Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.
Sir Winston Churchill

Norma Honeycutt from Partners In Learning in China Grove, North Carolina shared this Success Story on the Exchange web site:

"At our program we have an administration team of 8 people. We have weekly one-hour meetings where we go through a leadership book. Most books take us 6 months to get through. We started with the book The Secret and have done others including: The Fred Factor. Each leader reads a chapter during the week and we use the meeting time to discuss it. After completing the book each administrator passes it to a lead teacher who they have been assigned to mentor. I began this in our program about one year ago and it has drastically changed the professional atmosphere and trust within our program."

We are eager to share your Success Stories as well. We are looking for ideas (big or small) that you have successfully implemented on any issue from training staff to working with parents, from raising money to designing the toddler room. Most Success Stories contributed on our web site end up being published in Exchange magazine where they are seen by our 27,000 subscribers. Share your story!
