Ready, Get Set, Lead...

Went to a great meeting on Monday (yes I said great meeting)! It was for beginning Elementary Administrators and offered through the School Administrators of Iowa. The meeting focused on tips for success, Law issues, and round table discussions with veteran elementary administrators. What made this meeting GREAT? All the people attending were in the same boat and found out that it was impossible to know everything but with help we can make a successful start. Everyone was willing to leave email addresses so that networks could be created. The veteran principals were willing to be part of the networks and also had great sound advice but also admitted they learn new things every day. The SAI staff was also part of the networking component and encouraged everyone to call and call often. Everyone went on with an idea of how to get started and where to go in the process of becoming an educational leader. A big thank you to SAI and everyone involved. The beginning of the school year is just around the corner and I am excited to start the process of learning more than I could ever imagine!
