This is the first post to my blog since transitioning from being a “teacher” to an “administrator”. If you have read my blog in the past you probably know I often use this space to self reflect on my own learning. This may explain the long gap between posts, I wanted to try my position on for size for a few weeks first. I have only been in my new role for a month, but have already realized the two have a great deal in common.
10 Things I Learned as a Teacher that will Help me as an Administrator
- Organization leads to productivity
- Having a plan in place each day will help with achieving your goals
- The importance of greeting children by name everyday
- Whether you are in a classroom or around the school, being visible helps students stay connected and engaged
- Collaboration leads to problem solving
- Establishing positive relationships with parents is always worth the extra effort
- Knowing the curriculum will help improve student achievement
- Modeling is always an effective way to get others to buy in
- Communication and transparency will earn you trust
