Dear Kristine- been there, done that. Take it SLOW. One teacher, one idea, one situation at a time. Rome wasn't built in a day. ALso, bring in or send the staff to in-services so they hear your message from someone else - then it doesn't become "your" way. Be patient - compliment the good you see ( just like we do with kids) and try to work with strengths. It is difficult - keep yourself together and join a director's group. Be kind to yourself. JK
