Passed Comps , on to Praxis

Just received an email from professor saying I have passed School administration comprehensive exams. I was a little worried , however, felt I did well. Big test in January, after that everything is gravy.Internship continues to be challenging,managing academic intervention programs, buses, books, teacher concerns, parent concerns, students, instructional practices and curriculum. I now realize how demanding a school admin's job is. Anyway, this is the halfway point, so I know I can make it to the end. peace and blessing this holiday season

Things are going well, Completed comprehensive exams last weekend @ NCCU. Wrote for almost 3 hours. Starting to get more involvement with student behavior issues Kindergarten, fourth grade students, and out of school suspensions. Cafeteria duty for 4-5 grade continues to be challenging. Administering a reading intervention program, "Academy of Reading". Getting some good data from it, we need to add incentive component.

Running Hard Since July..Intersession finally here..

Intersession is here for Me @ Pearsontown, Interning since July. Biggest challenge , getting teachers to believe in PLC and common assessments, managing textbooks, Documenting teacher walk through's and cafeteria duty. Easiest was bus duty, interacting with students, staff and parents. I have learned to view the big picture in terms of managing a school, staff and students. One needs good strong policies and procedures as a foundation. Communicating your curriculum and instructional goals,methods is vital for continuous school improvment
