Welcome to the new site!
Well we’re here again. Another opportunity for me to recognize and introduce you to a member of my staff. Today it’s one of my classroom teachers! It’s 4th grade teacher Jessica McHale, also known as The Dazzling Twister. I still remember when Jessica came in to interview for her position. She had never taught elementary…
I’ve thought long and hard about this post. What I wanted to say. How I wanted to say it. Bullying is something we hear about all the time as adults; especially in education. And as we all know too well, bullying is something that didn’t just start recently. I remember getting picked on quite a…
When I interviewed for the job as Principal of Navasota Intermediate, the one thing I said in the interview was “I don’t want to be stuck in an office every day, I want to still be actively involved in classrooms”. As a leader of a school sometimes that is difficult to do. I blogged a…
To continue my tradition of blogging about someone different on my staff each week, this week I wanted to introduce you to our Instructional Coach, Aaron Marvel. I always find it funny how some people end up in your life. I remember interviewing Aaron back in April and knowing immediately he was the kind of…
So the past seven days or so have been….um….interesting. To say things have been wonderful would be a lie. I love my job. I love my district, my campus, the family I work with. But so often I feel like I’m letting them down. Why? Because I am my own worst enemy. I never feel…
I can’t believe I missed my weekly recognition post last week! Ahh! Well here goes for this one… This week I wanted to introduce everyone to Geralyn Jackson. Geralyn is our school counselor. As you know from my previous posts, about 90% of the previous NIS staff did not return for this school year. BUT,…
As I sit next to my wife, on a plane 30,000 feet in the air, I’m still trying to full comprehend what happened this weekend. Best place to start I guess is from Friday afternoon. I went to work on Friday, as I do every day. My plan was to leave work about an hour…
So this post may seem a little split brained, but I’m gonna try and bring it all together! Well, one of the things I mentioned when Navasota ISD was interviewing me for this principal job, was that I wanted to still work hand in hand with kids and find ways to teach. I didn’t want…
This week I’d like to introduce you to someone who has played a huge role in my growth as an educator and as a person, Kathy French. I am so blessed and honored to get to work with Kathy over at Navasota Intermediate. But you see, I’ve been with Kathy longer than just this year….
One thing I’ve always wanted to do was portray a really honest perspective on this blog and on my career. As I’ve entered this new journey of being a Principal/Lead Learner I’ve tried really showing my journey. What I’ve failed to show though, is the struggles. You see, I absolutely love my job. I haven’t…
Here is my second entry in my weekly foray of recognizing the amazing people that I get to work with every day. This week I waned to introduce you to Kevin Bradford. Throughout my interviewing process and hiring of 36 different employees there are few that stand out as much as Kevin Bradford. Kevin has…
Well I did it! I made it through my first week of school as an administrator! And what a week it was! I think the biggest take-away for me was how much my daily routine has changed. As a classroom teacher there was some sort of daily routine that I would sink into. I knew…
