Monday, June 10

4:12 a.m. - Of course I can't sleep because I'm thinking too much.  I'm thinking of this administrator academy I have today and Wednesday.  I'm thinking about the new job.  I'm thinking about stuff I need to get done at home.  I'm thinking about our vacation to Montana and getting ready for that.  Thinking, thinking, thinking.

Yesterday, I did manage to get all the pre-work done for today's academy - at least I think I got it done.  I'm not sure if I did it correctly, but I did submit it.  

Today is going to be hard.  It's going to be hard mentally because I need to just keep my mouth shut and get through it.  Evaluating staff isn't really that hard, but the Danielson Model and the 50 Rules stuff make it seem harder and scary.  Usually good teaching involves engaged teachers with engaged students successfully learning the skills needed to be successful at the next level.  And no teacher accomplishes that the same way, and not all teachers are excellent but that's okay.  Unfortunately, the evaluation process seems more like enforcement than coaching, and it really should be more like coaching.  

We will survive today...just stay focused and awake.
