A Chance to Serve More Kool-Aid...Change is Good!

For years, I have been talking to teachers about embracing change.  Now it's my turn.  I've been blessed with an amazing opportunity to work as an assistant principal in Fulton County (Metro Atlanta).  The coolest part of my new job is that I get to place emphasis on math instruction.  It's my dream job (one of them)!  I've been in my new position for about six weeks now, and it has been full throttle the whole way (which is why I haven't posted in a while).  My biggest challenge is learning how to strike the perfect balance between administrative duties and instructional work. 

My new teachers are great.  They are willing and eager to make a difference.  They are a stellar group of professionals who "go hard" for the students.  They are a true family, and they have invited me in with open arms.  Plus, technology and resources are plentiful here.  The perfect storm, right? 

So, I have been issuing out the "Kool-Aid" in small, palatable, but very regular doses.  Guess what?  They're sipping!  (For those of you who don't know, click this 30-second video.)  They are even giving me some juice to sip on myself because I just started work on a cohort with the teachers to earn my Reading Endorsement!  Yep, I am one tired, but happy lady.  I am so excited about this new chapter of my journey.  Let the new adventures begin!
