SAM I AM....
I start an new phase in my life and job this school year 2010-11. I am now the official School Administrative Manager. What will I do? I have a list of possibilities. What I hope I will do is be a manager of possibilities.
-Possibilities for administrators to work more closely with true educational leadership roles such as teacher to student skills, research based concepts, curriculum based instruction, evaluation techniques, community and parent relationships, professional development, learning teams, technological advances... the list goes on.
-Possibilities that create an environment for all students to graduate and excel through alternative educational programs. -Possibilities to maintain and create safe learning environments through programs such as Warrior Pack, PBIS, and Character Counts.
-Possibilities to aid teachers in student transitions and resources for information and support.
- Possibilities to report and promote the school districts status as to quality teaching as indicated by state mandated test scores.
- Possibilities to be involved with all administration, teachers and students TK through 12th grade...the best possibility that I could ask for.
I will definitely miss the teaching classroom experience that I have enjoyed for so long. I am thankful for all that these experiences have given me throughout the years. I look forward to the challenge that awaits me as a SAM...yes I am!!!
