6:11 a.m. - Yesterday's exam for that administrators' academy was brutal. After finishing the four hour exam, I hit submit and prayed for divine intervention. The information we covered in two days (Monday and Wednesday) legitimately could have been a semester long course in an college/university educational administration program. There were a couple of multiple choice questions that perplexed me. The one case study script that we read and then had to evaluate the candidate was shaky; I feel I likely judged too harshly. And then there were the two essay questions at the end. I think my background as an English teacher may have helped me; at least I hope so.
After trudging out of the ROE, I headed home mentally exhausted. What to do next? Go to a softball game in New Windsor and watch Brinley and Brooklyn play. We did stop at the Depot with Jack and Rhonda and Tucker and have supper which was nice. After getting home, though, I went to bed. Now I don't get the exam results until Sunday...keeping my fingers crossed. If I don't pass the exam, I'm not sure what happens.
Despite that uncertainty, I heard there were two candidates form my English position at the high school, and the two were both very good. It will be a tough decision to select a choice.
Today is an important but hopefully fun day. I'm going to spend some time at Illinois City Grade School with Mrs. Bollman to seek anything she can share with me about assuming a principal position there (pending BOE approval next week). Then I'm going to meet with Barb McKay and talk the history of the Rockridge School District. Somewhere this morning I'd like to see if I can mow some yard and maybe do some weed wacking.
