Getting Focused

I am ready to get back to writing.  It's been a long time since I've really taken the time to sit down and write a blog post.  There is plenty to write about and hopefully it will hep me to clear my head on a few issues.  Plus, Chris Pappas was giving me hard time about being a slacker (hi Chris!).

 

I started this post in November.  I attended PA's CFF/EETT Boot Camp.  It was a requirement of the CFF and EETT grants we received this year.  Boot Camp is a good name for it too.  Long days and hard work.  It was great to be there surrounded by like-minded people with similar situations and have an opportunity to discuss some new, different, and better ideas.  At the end, we were each asked to speak to the following:

• A listing of your goals as instructional coach

• A listing of your challenges and strategies to overcome those challenges (use your collaboration with other coaches to address these challenges)

• Assume you are successful in your efforts to help your teachers prepare students as future citizens of the world. What would your school look like?

When I first looked at the list I thought it would be a piece of cake.  However, as I said before, I started writing in November and I'm still not happy with the results.  So, I am going to start with one little piece at a time and the understanding that anything I publish is part of an evolution of thought and planning rather than an immediate end.  Please feel free to interject as your feedback and opinions are always appreciated!
