About Me



My name is Gina Crabtree.  I started this blog as a means of organizing for you all the resources I have found along the way, and share new ones I have created.  The Leader in Me was brand new to me four years ago, and it is my hope that this blog will help you as you navigate through the process of implementing the initiative in your school.    I work at W.R. McNeill Elementary and absolutely love what I do!!!   I have two beautiful daughters, and an amazing husband.  These three have supported me through my graduate work and my Rank 1, and all the things I endeavor to do while pursuing my work's passion.
