I like to blog, I want to blog, but I struggle to keep up with it. It has been almost 8 months since my last post with so many tales to tell, I will save you from the mundane details of my life. I will share a few key pieces of learning:
1. Switching computer platforms is not easy
2. People just want things to work, no matter how they ask
3. Volunteer work is not easy
4. When traveling with small children, always fly direct and not on Continental Airlines
I am writing today to talk about the continued forward journey of an emerging school administrator. Tomorrow I am starting my CAGS at Plymouth State University. I am still majoring in Educational Leadership, but this time I am planning on addressing my own perceived weakness in curriculum and instruction. Next month I am off to Philadelphia to EduCon 2.2 in hopes of merging my three great passions in education: technology, leadership, and 21st century curriculum. Obviously there will be several easy answers to my many questions.
To school administrators and passerby’s I pose a question to you, when is it time to become a school administrator? I perceive my own weakness in curriculum, but yet when it is often discussed in my school district I am at the table. I feel I have much to offer, but yet I do not want to disappoint those who believe in me. When does an emerging principal need to become a principal?
Happy Friday and thanks for stopping by.
