It has often been said that a leader knows, goes, and shows the way, which can also be said of a good teacher, who is by any definition a leader (Maxwell, 2010, p. 34). Mrs. Kalleward is a teacher who had such an impact on me, and in many ways she began to shape my career as an educator by teaching me how to be an effective and productive teacher in many areas.
