My Leadership Learning CONTINUES

This week was busy but brought fantastic learning opportunities!

On Tuesday, I served as the "administrator on duty" at our 7th grade football game.  There are several teachers in various administration programs (University of Phoenix, Stephen F. Austin University, University of St. Thomas, University of Houston) and we're all being utilized as administrative resources. Our campus principals are SO supportive in helping us learn the basics of a principal's position and are offering us many different venues to learn about successful leadership practices. We are all involved in an administration rotation for this year's athletic activities.  I met with each campus administrator about the role of an administrator on duty and was thankful for the guidance in completing my first task.

I was also approached by an AP to be on this year's campus IM (textbook) Committee.  The 'IM" stands for 'instructional materials' since our district is moving away from standard textbooks and more independent learning through primary and secondary sources, etc. I will be representing the 7th grade which automatically makes me aware that I must seek advice from my peers that are knowledgeable in the subjects that I'm not.  I feel strong in LA and SS, due to my 10 years of experience is these subjects, but know that I must enlist the feedback of of other department educators to provide instructional materials that will help them in the classroom.  I lam really excited about this opportunity!

I spent an hour in the front office this week with a discipline issue.  I received advice from an AP, spoke with a student, and the parent, and came to a quick solution.  It worked out well.

My site supervisor, our campus principal, provided a wealth of personal knowledge and experience lessons that continue to help me learn about the role that I aspire to hold someday.

Have a great week everyone!!!
