An Intentional Leader

This has been such a busy month...but we survived!

I'm so excited with all the things that our leadership team is putting in place for our students.

Ms. Craven, Literacy Coach

Mr. Courtwright, Principal

This week, my Principal, Literacy Coach, and I created a schedule to listen to each of our students read for at least one minute. 

This week we listened to all 1st grade classes and part of our 2nd grade classes. It was such an eye opening experience. To know some of our students in 1st and 2nd grade can not read, was a wow factor for us. 

In this moment, I realized why I wanted to be an administrator. I want to make a difference...impact change. In my role, I have an opportunity to ensure students are provided with an a chance to be successful. 

Our leadership team is working together to create opportunities for students who can not read. Intentional tutoring, interventions, teacher workshops, programs...whatever it takes. 

This week gave me a new goal as an administrator...I want to become an Intentional Administrator. My goal is to identify moments where I can make a difference or impact change with our students, staff, and parents. I want to be an administrator that takes every opportunity as an opportunity to provide hope to our teachers, students, and parents.

Being an intentional leader will require me to always be able to make each situation an opportunity for us to learn and grow. Everything will have a purpose...good and bad moments will become an opportunity to teach, lead, model, inspire.

I'm excited...
