Wow! I finished my first Prezi! This is a great presentation tool that can be used for any audience.

Blogging 24-7
I don’t know what the deal is, but I can’t seem to shut off my brain … Is it because I have been ill and in so much pain, I’m not able to sleep? Is it because of the lack of stimulation of my brain the last 7 months staying at home? Is it because of theContinue reading “Blogging 24-7”
Powerful Chit Chat
As I have mentioned, I am currently reading A Framework for Understanding Poverty by Ruby Payne. I am reading this book mainly because my new assignment is the Vice-Principal of an Inner-City school in my district. I found Chapter 2 – The Role of Language and Story – to be quite interesting and informative, both educationally and personally. IContinue reading “Powerful Chit Chat”
I Am a Plunger

That number is expected to grow by at least 1000 students this fall (like it seems to each fall). The diversity makes this districtContinue reading “I’ve Got a Secret”
A Lesson Learned
As I get ready to start a new school year, at a new school, I am reflecting on my previous years experience as a Vice-Principal. My mind is filled with so many questions. What worked in my previous assignments? What didn’t work as well? What would I like my goals to be for the upcoming year? WhereContinue reading “A Lesson Learned”
A Brief, But Meaningful Encounter
Currently, I am returning to work following maternity leave after having our 3rd child at the end of December (2010). I have just recently received my next placement as Vice-Principal in my district. This is very exciting and I am really looking forward to the opportunity. More on that in future posts… As you can imagine, afterContinue reading “A Brief, But Meaningful Encounter”
