Administrators
The most important thing I have learned about working with administrators is that they are people too and some days they have good days and some days are bad just like they are for myself. I try to remember that they are working for the same goals as I am, just on a much larger scale. While I am trying to manage my 3 classes, they are trying to manage the entire school and all that encompasses. Whenever the administration asks us to do one more report or come to one more meeting, this can be frustrating, but in the end, if it will help all of our jobs to be more productive and more worthwhile, for us as well as the students, then it is worth it. Our administration really works with its staff and students and they are very open to changes and any help they can get from the staff and community. I have enjoyed working with my administrators this year.
Ditto Shellee! Your are certainly right on the mark! Through the good days and the bad days, we have managed to continue to push toward the goals of student success.
ReplyDeleteSo true Shellee and it is so easy to forget that we are all are working towards the same goals. Just recently I was very upset about a situation with our administration however when I stepped back and looked closer it became very clear to me that they were trying to work out a situation that was in the best interest of all concerned. Our attitude and willingness to work with administration goes along way to reaching the goals we have for the students.
