Goals Update

The home office is quite organized! Wow!

Not only is it free of garbage and recycling, I can look around and choose to work on the projects that I have on the go. And I have a small table where I can spread out when I don't want to be on the computer. My scrapbooking, my leadership books, my files are all at my fingertips. Even my watercolour supplies are within reach. Now, I just have to make the time to actually pull these things out and work on and with them. :-)

My school office looks tidy, but there is still a lot of redundancy to clear through. I have been taking a bit of time each day to clear out files and to consolidate information in places easy to find and easy to access.

Next Monday, I shall have a couple of visitors from the Northern Tier Leadership group, one of the supervisors and a colleague. They will be going on a tour of the school and talking with me about by job as instructional leader in my school. I am getting quite excited and I plan to use this weekend to gather up the last of the materials I will need to work through this interview.

Just today, I sat for a few minutes at my desk and reflected - things are going quite well - I am beginning to have time to be in classrooms again and time to sit with staff when they need to show me something they are working on. It's awesome! I love that feeling!
