New School Year

We have begun the 2012-2013 Academic School Year!

There are a few new items on my plate this year:

1. As a staff we are implementing an Advisory program for our 3rd, 4th, and 5th year students. Each teacher will mentor 7-9 students. The point of this program is to keep the students involved in the school, and to stay up to date with their academic progress. It should be an interesting program, although I am not sure how much it will change what students actually do in their college class.

2. Graduate School.

I am beginning the Masters in School Administration program at the University of North Carolina Charlotte. I am excited to be back in the classroom once in a while, and to interact with peers that are not in my school. I am a bit concerned about the added financial responsibility that this adds to my family, but it should be bearable. I sincerely hope that North Carolina starts giving our teachers yearly raises again, so that I don't have to be an assistant principal right out of grad school.

3. New Freshman! I guess that is normal, but this should be shaping up as my most prepared and effective year to date. Hopefully we can keep that trend up moving forward.
