Forget the Turkey- We are all just plain NUTS!!!

My Propel Pals and I are ALL NUTS!!!

While many of you are buying turkeys and cranberries and planning your Thanksgiving menus... My fellow Cohort Members and I are delving deep into data, searching archives for strategies, and developing instructional plans to raise student achievement for students considered at-risk.

"What are worthy endeavor" you say...

I would agree except for one small detail, it is a paper plan. And when I say paper... I mean 12 pages, A.P.A., research and write it in a week and a half, shoot me now because I'm hating my life, paper! AND... if working full time trying to do two jobs (my curriculum specialist job and teaching 3 blocks of 6th grade science) isn't enough, lets add... mentoring two teachers, serving on several committees, organizing our CC Implementation Plan... AND...

Oh Yeah... FULL TIME GRAD SCHOOL... and by full I mean... are you ready... 14 GRADUATE Credits in 1 semester!!! Remember 9 Grad credits is considered full time, and I am currently taking 14!!!

Yup... It is great training for the craziness that awaits me as a turn around leader, if I survive the training process that is!

Uhh Huh... We're nuts!  But a very talented group of nuts, in case you are in need of an Assistant Principal in August... If we are alive, we will be ready!!!

 Go Cohort 2!!
