Wow! It is already October, where has the time gone. I feel like this year is off to a great start. I have my 2 schools up and running on SuccessMaker and Imagine Learning. I have scheduled weekly professional development at both of my schools and am able to present once a month a faculty meetings. I feel like I am on the right track to offering meaningful and useful professional development in my schools.
This month for professional development I am focusing on Doceri and the new standards based report card. This report card is a huge shift, district wide. Since I piloted the report card, as a teacher, last year I have been exposed to standards based grading, and I am ready to assist the teachers in this process. I know that we are all in it together and I have been impressed with the willingness many teachers have exhibited during this change.
I have been exposed to many different personalities, teaching styles, and ways of doing things since I left the classroom a few short months ago. I have come to appreciate the differences that I see on a daily basis, and have realized this is what makes my job so much fun! Everyday is something new. I am enjoying the journey, and hope you are too!
