Class November 13th

I really enjoyed the policy review discussion today. It is very interesting to hear about and consider all of the differing policies that are out there and the opinions we have in regards to some of them. There are many different policies that don’t necessarily affect us much as teachers, but as administrators I think we will have to be much more aware of the policies and careful to follow them. It would be interesting to hear about the penalties that violating some of these policies entail. There are many of them that I’m not sure about. I also thoroughly enjoyed talking about how different people rate their schools on the school culture survey. I would really like to have the experience of working in a district that has a culture that is the opposite of the toxic one I’m in now before I become an administrator. I think it would be a good experience for me to see what its like to be employed in a building where things “work.”
