All in all this started out as a rough week. I didn't know if I was going in the right direction after reading and rereading the nine passions from the Dana text. Blogging about my thoughts on the nine passions really helped and I found that my other peers were very supportive. I loved being able to discuss with my principal what we think is best for the school. Not only did she take in account what I thought was important to me, but she also shared how she thought our school would benefit. I am finding that I am loving this class more and more. I can't wait to form the PLC that my principal and I talked about and get started on making our school more diversified.
The passion I ended up choosing had to do with social justice, but my subtopics always lead toward staff development. My principal reassured me that thinking about students first and having the staff develop themselves professional was the way to go. I hope all of you are enjoying this like I am!
I'm so glad that the meeting with your principal went well and you have found a topic that you are truly interested in. Like they said in the interviews this week, being interested in the topic will make the research more fun for you!

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have found a good topic to work with, and your administrator seems to be supportive. About the rough week, I would have to agree with you. My assignment did not get saved to EPIC and I ended up having to re-do the whole thing! I'm glad it's over. Have A Great Week!
