Reflection from Week 5 - 5326 School-Community Releationships


I have been busy working closely with my principal on creating a campus calendar (complete with testing dates, RtI meeting dates, faculty meetings, Special Education committee meetings, and AYP planning team meetings, helping to plan faculty meetings), working on revamping our instruction delivery on our campus, mentoring new teachers, attended a five day dyslexia training, and creating intervention groups and schedules. 

Our campus did not have a campus calendar that kept everything in one place.  So I asked my principal if I could create one.  Little did I know that I would spend approximately eight hours on this one task.  Once I had gathered all the dates from various groups I created the most comprehensive “living” calendar our campus has ever had.  Each month I send the updated calendar out to all the staff, so that we are all on the same page.

The list to complete is a little overwhelming.   I must interview technology coordinator, personnel director, superintendent of curriculum, librarian, food service manager, complete a walk-through, attend a board meeting, creating a parent survey, compiling a list of social agencies, etc.  Compiling this list has made me really overwhelmed.  I have been very busy, but it seems not busy enough.  I will have to revisit my timeline and make an actual calendar to complete some of these activities.  I don’t want time to get away from me.  I want to keep my eye on the prize and learn something from each and every one of these activities.  This is going to be quite an endeavor.  J
