I am so grateful that we were given assignments this semester that challenged us to dig deeper into the everyday normal business that takes place on our campus. Our Capstone paper gave me a chance to dissect our Single Plan for Student Achievement and incorporate new data. It also explained the goals of Alta Sierra and what our administration expects from our students, faculty, and surrounding community.
The Professional Growth Plan assignment gave me a chance to reflect on my past 12 years of teaching. I have made drastic growth but I realize their are other aspects of my career that has plateaued. Forming Professional Learning Communities have been a huge push in our district but I am in a department that hasn't really enforced it. So, as a new department chair it is my goal to bring PLC's to life.
Congrats on finishing this program Shannon! Stay in touch!
ReplyDeleteHey Shannon, it would be interesting to see what your ASI desire focus would be and if we both had any similar areas of improvement. See you at school. :)
