Gator Run Friday Focus - October 9, 2015

As you know, I was out a few days this week in Orlando.  I am thrilled and humbled that I was chosen to participate in a second year of the State of Florida's Commissioner's Leadership Academy.  This year I will be a Facilitator in Training, with the goal that I might someday be able to train others in the feedback process that I shared with all of you during pre-planning week.  I will be visiting five schools throughout this year to practice my feedback skills.  I am hopeful that this will make me a better administrator and better able to help each of you become the best you can be.  I am happy that I will be working with a few of you in the upcoming weeks so that we will both become better in our roles and I hope that more of you will want to work collaboratively in this process.  It's all about feedback, support and growth.  This school is so big and sometimes people can feel isolated and in need of knowing how they are doing.  If you feel like you are in need of feedback, support or coaching, please reach out.  Mrs. Knapik, Ms. Sanchez, Ms. Felton and I are all here to support you in your goals.
