That is a lot of changes coming up! I wish you peace and luck in handling them. I am sure in 24 years you have learned a thing or two about when to roll with the changes and when to step up to the plate and lead. Do you have a personal goal for 2012/13? Among all the changes do you have a plan for self care? I am still working summer school. Which is a blast, I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy it. I thought I was past the needing to work summer school years. And it is so much better than school year school! Since we are a special program we make our own rules. First we do our academics then out social skills. It is a blast. The kids have so much fun. I am grateful I get to see them like this. No meetings with teachers about what they can't do and how they aren't conforming. They just shine and grow and it is amazing to witness. I definitely needed this experience. I am sincerely hoping 2012/2013 will be my last year teaching as I do now. I need to prepare for what I want to do next and it is time to move on. Going back to school, relearning about teaching or moving in a different direction. No matter what, it is time. The school/district I am currently at is perfect for teaching me to let go and take the risk to move on. I am going to work at keeping that perspective so I don't get too full of myself and miss the lessons I can learn from where I am at. Sincerely I work with some wonderful professionals and some very unwonderful ones. The principal made a statement this week that sent me reeling and wanting to resign immediately. It just triggered me personally, ethically and I really had to talk myself down. It was said in passing, not at work, and was a personal belief of the principal. I am sure she thought nothing of it (which is one of the scarier parts of it). And I thought too much of it. I don't want to work with a person like that. |

A couple more weeks before I return. I took the summer off. Much needed. I already feel refreshed and determined to keep up self-care during the school year. That is such a challenge.
I am looking forward to my new job. I can't say much about it online for reasons I won't go into. But it's ideal in many ways. Less stress, but still interesting. I feel for anyone with a bad administrator. People who pontificate about education have no idea what that is like. Thank god for our unions. |

Yes...sadly just a few more weeks...I plan to live it up while I can....Hopefully one more trip South. Even though Administrators come and go, they can do great harm in a very short amount of time if they are incompetent! The general public had NO idea what we go through to educate today's children....and finally... We can't Unionize in GA.! I could share stories that would make you cringe and throw up.... BK Enjoy what you have left of the summer everyone!! |

I was assured that I will not have to teach Art this year. Halleluiah!!!
I like looking at art, but not making it or teaching it. |
