Learning about Administrators

The most important thing I've learned about working with my school administrators in the past term/year is that they are really supportive. I have had several issues during this school term that have required administrative involvement. First of all, our program is being moved from our current location to merge with a high school, not originally intended for career technology. My administrator is a first year principal and is unfamiliar with some aspects of my program. However, she has visited my classroom frequently and has sought information to effectively expedite this move. Everything I have needed she has provided including background checks that were required by our nursing facility. She has been our advocate even though she will not be our administrator next school year. She also has allowed administrators from Cross Keys to come in and observe our classrooms so that they too are becoming familiar with our programs. I am a bit anxious about this move and her support has really served to lessen that anxiety. Administrators do a lot!
