Friday Before Teacher Development Days

Monday 9am sharp, Teacher Professional Development Days begin.  We get a week long 9-1's learning and discussing the upcoming year.

As I am putting together the information that will be covered, I am thinking, how will this year be better than last year.  I already know in many ways how it will be better.  At the same time, I will be fighting some of the same fights.

Here are some of my fights (you may agree or disagree):
Connect to Christ and the Word in every class
PUT STUDENTS FIRST!
Integrate Technology into every day classes
Continue Push to make our school as "Green" as possible
Improve our look and feel for school facility and pride
Have the best athletic teams that God can provide for us and have them compete for the Glory of God

Lastly I don't like this fight, but it is a fight that I am fighting
Let the Haters be wiped out by our Excellence in Word and Academics!  Prove to them so they close their mouths.

A personal grievance I will have to deal with is not to tell certain people off when they stick their nose into something that doesn't relate to them at all :)

Back to PD Week,

21st Century Skills
