A sojourn……….
I have not blogged for a while because I have been preoccupied by issues that prior to this I have not really had to have dealt with …………….
- Employment issues of an individual Principal – failed deadlines, maturity
- Loss of teacher jobs due to attrition and declining student enrollments
- A principal friend who is contemplating retirement because of issues to numrous to mention
- A principal who has lost employment for next year because of budgetary concerns
The above issues have taken their toll on me. I have had to take a step back from creativity and function with my rational mind, trying to grasp what this changing educational scene will mean in the immediate future for myself, my friends, colleagues and fellow teachers.

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal ~ Henry Ford.
You have so many goals as a leader and a supervisor. It’s tough when life gets in the way! Stay focused on what you want to achieve and don’t let the other things get in the way of what you aspire to do
Special education and education in general are constantly changing. Who said that the only thing that is consistent is change? I forget. It is so tough sometimes to be so flexible when all we want is for things to stay cosistent and work the way we think they should.
