Today, I experienced the benefit of having an amazing site supervisor! We met to discuss my ideas for my action research program and she was so helpful in helping me hone in on an inquiry question that was both measurable and valuable. As a coach myself, I recognized that she was coaching me as she questioned and listened to and challenged me, but she was so so good at it - the whole meeting was such a learning experience. We decided that I would focus on the area of individual teachers at one of our south elementary schools in our district. I will be the assigned adminstrative supervisor working on that campus and working on this research will have the added benefit of helping me to establish a positive professional relationship with the relatively new principal on that campus.
Today was also exciting for me because my site supervisor, who is one of the Associate Superintendents in our district, will be my official supervisor beginning August 2nd when I move into my new position. It's been a long time since I've felt as engaged and challenged as I did today during our meeting - I'm really looking forward to the year!
