Today was a good day. The time spent interviewing teachers was invaluable. It not only gave the student teacher a chance to go through the interview process, but it also provided our team of future administrators an opportunity to talk about valid questions, and discuss what qualities we might look for in the staff we hire. Our group had some powerful conversation about expectations during the interview process, and I took away some key points.
I was glad the counseling department came in today. There is so much more to counseling than just guidance in schools today. It was nice to receive an explanation of the current model, and the responsibilities that a school counselor has. I know how essential our school counselors are in the day-to-day operation in my building. Every day students come in with issues that carry over from their home environment and impact their achievement in the classroom.
I would say that this has been one of the best weekends I've had in the program in over 2 years. I've taken some good things away from the past two days, and look forward to our next discussion in a few weeks.
