Today marks the end of an adventure! An adventure in new learning, challenge, and optimism. The culminating event of my last class towards my prelim admin credential was a simulated interview. I must admit I was not really nervous but certainly anxious to experience this! It was a great experience and I came away with some tools to help me as I pursue what lies ahead. My interviewer from Riverdale, Superintendent Pete Faragia, began the interview by asking 4-6 questions. These questions resulted in conversation which not only put me more at ease but allowed me to share more of who I am and what I believe about education. He then gave me the opportunity to ask questions of him about topics I feel might help in interviewing.
This blog completes my assignments...I must admit I am a little sad. It has been great to build relationships with the people in the cohort and the professors. Lhappy Holidays everyone!

Blog # 12.
The final capstone paper-what to say! Writing it seemed to take forever but at the same time I felt that I could have written more. I just barely began to explore what could be done to meet the goals stand could have read/researched so much more....I suppose as an administrator that is how it is-always so much more to explore. The refining process seems difficult!
I have to admit I enjoyed trying to figure out ways that my site could meet the challenges of a changing population and equip teachers to provide the best education possible for every child in the school.
Personal professional development- so much to choose from! When I think of my long term goal of working in the area of RTI or 504 at a district level I have to keep in mind that I need to be a member of an administrative team to get where I want to be. So as I developed my plans I looked at what would help me get to the next step which is most likely a GIS position as well as thinking about what would help me to develop more skill/knowledge for where I am now!
I will need to be a life ling learner if I want to be on the edge of what is current in education!
