Schoolwide Leadership

Tomorrow we kick off our school-wide leadership initiative starting with our 8th grade class. Mr. Hein gave an overview to the Leadership class he and I co-teach and it seemed to begin to click with out class.

Tomorrow 8/19/2010 will be an exciting day because it begins the actual process for kids and that's what we're here for. We began this conversation almost two years ago and now it's becoming a reality. I am proud to be a part of this plan.

Teaching and Leadership Intro

So... I am co-teaching a class this year with our school Principal - Gary Hein. I intend to write some of my thoughts in this blog about this endevour, my entry into the REAL teaching world, and some thoughts about how our school is taking a new direction with our school-wide leadership culture.

It should be fun to discuss, ruminate and share ideas so jump in and make any comments you like. Seriously though I need lots of help with the teaching bit so please share your ideas on how to make a positive impression with middle school age kids and any insights you may have.
