Welcome Term 2, 2014!

At our last "Professional Development" session on March 25th, while we were waiting for our presenter to battle her way through the traffic, I asked the assembled CRTs to share any CRT moments with the group. As a result, one CRT stood up and told us about her experiences at a particular school where she was valued, respected and constantly called back to teach. When asked why this was the case, she told us about the 'little extra things" that she always did that went above and beyond the call of duty. Things like: arriving early every day, volunteering to take an extra duty for a teacher who was "snowed under" with work, sharing ideas and always being warm and friendly. On top of all that, she ensured that if lesson plans were left, she followed them, making sure that the students' work was corrected and the classroom left ready for the next day. (No wonder the school keeps calling her back: if I were a Principal, I would too.)

What does this have to do with Term 2, 2014? Good question! As you are aware, we know the things that we are good at, but what about the things that we should be better at! 

Have a wonderful, challenging and fruitful term.
