My first blog post…what to write, what to write…
I’ve been wanting to create a blog for quite some time but it never seemed to make it to the top of my to-do list until tonight…at 10pm. I have to be at school early for our last day of EOGs. Yay! So, not sure that tonight was a good idea but here I sit.
This will be my tenth year in education. I began at a traditional K-5 school in the piedmont of NC. I didn’t realize until later how spoiled I was! An awesome first five years at an incredible school with amazing administration. After moving “back home”, I accepted a position at an alternative school (for behaviors). What a transition! Lots of professional growth took place over the next few years with some very challenging students…all of which I would’ve taken home with me in a heartbeat! (Well, except maybe one.) 😉
Currently, I serve as an instructional facilitator for my county. I wear many hats but the one I enjoy the most is being a support for teachers with resources and curriculum. Data also drives many of my days as I try to help others see the importance of using data to drive their instruction. I do miss the kids but I am enjoying working with so many different, wonderful teachers!
And as with any job in education, there is never a dull moment!
Thanks for joining me on my blogging journey.
