Welcome to my blog! I am excited about sharing my thoughts with you and the wonderful things that are happening in our school. Additionally, I like to share observations about books and articles that have helped shape my leadership and assist me with becoming an effective instructional leader.

Building Relationships
This week I am meeting with various teachers at Williamsburg to begin building relationships and gaining their insight to the school. I challenged them to answer these questions: What do we keep doing? What do we stop doing? What do we start doing? My experience has taught me that the teacher perspective is so very important and vital to effectively running the school - their job is not very thankful, not very glorified, and extremely difficult. Therefore, the knowledge they posses and can share is invaluable to school administration. While holing informal meetings with the teachers, I get to know their personality and passions just a bit more. What a great way to get to know the school. I am looking forward to the rest of my open meetings!
