Future+Goal

Future Goals:

I am humbled to think how quickly I have been able to work towards some of my future goals. I have started my journey in administration with the role of an Associate Principal at an Intermediate School. I am thankful for this new position. It has been a goal of mine to learn from the experiences in the context of this supportive role. I am thankful and feel that I am learning every day.

While looking forward, I have a few goals that I am working towards. In the next few years I would like to gain expertise in the area of standards based grading and reporting. My goal is to present at a state or local conference. I hope to continue to learn and gather data around best teaching practices around reporting on the CCSS. In conjunction with with, I am also increasing my knowledge and understanding of co-teaching practices and the importance of "closing the gap" for all students. My principal and I have aligned our school and personal learning objectives for the Educator Effectiveness model to support and motivate our efforts in these areas.

I also have a few long range goals that I am working towards. At this point, I am feeling a personal drive to build experience and try to bring it to the college level. I feel drawn to sharing and being an instructional leader in the broad sense of education. It would be a dream to teach at the college level some day.

I am thankful for the development that I see in my profession. It has been a very good transition, and I look forward to working towards some more of my goals. Each day I will try to look for opportunities to build by rapport and support of my staff, be a more effective instructional leaders, and maintain my focus on the student learning that is part of this position. Overall, I am committed to future learning for myself, and hope to inspire those around me to do the same.
