Today has been one of those days of true work ethic:

7.00 At school to prepare for a training session I was running later in morning

8.15-8.45: Individual coaching session with a teacher

8.45-9.45 Run a Teacher Aide training session

9.45 drive into town

10.15-12.15 Attend community principals meeting

12.30 Drive back to school

1.00-2.45 SLT meeting to confirm some details of upcoming events, and to spend time discussing our coaching and appraisal focus for the next fortnight

2.45-3.30 Planning meeting with a learning community

3.30-4.30 Attend an in-house PLD session on Te Reo

4.30-5.00 Meet with office manager to discuss and approve financials

5.30-8.00 BOT meeting

8.30-9.30 Participate in edchatnz

Wow, thank goodness days like this don’t always happen and I normally get to spend some time in classes with learners. But sometimes circumstances conspire to give Principals days like this! Thank goodness for edchat so that I could spend the last hour of my full day focusing on some positive educational connections and collaboration.
