@goodreads My husband is not a reader. Married 28 years and counting. My kids are not readers. However, I am blessed with a granddaughter (age 17) who loves reading as much as I do!
@SteeleThoughts Agreed, be in the classrooms. Also, PD for yourself. Learn everything your teachers learn (and more). Your teachers need to see you interested and invested in teaching and learning.
@Bored_Teachers Iβm sorry you feel that way. Iβve been out of the classroom (Principal) for a long time. My goal is to support teachers and never forget what itβs like to be in the classroom - whatever it takes.
@eduleadership Students with mental health issues cannot appropriately learn in the classroom. Teachers have to address the barriers to learning. They become therapists and assume all the roles the students need in their lives.
@eduleadership We have a college that does that. If you have another degree, you can be hired as an intern on emergency permit. The internship is just like student teaching with a supervisor and all. You have to pass the class and complete coursework to receive regular certification.
@gjfairchild You have an awesome Principal Assn! PA Principal Assn has learned so much from their way of taking care of their Principals. Congratulations on your award!
