So far, I haven't said too much because at first I had {no words} and then all I had was {today}.
It was time for a change. I just didn't know it was MY time. After a few weeks of reflection and the process of packing up my classroom, I've accepted my new role and transition to a new school.
My reading specialist role is changing. I'm now considered a "Literacy Interventionist" in my district. Sounds fancy, I know.
But really, my goal is the same: Improve student learning as readers, writers, and thinkers, and nurture the love of reading.
The location is what differs: Instead of working with the most developing readers, writers, and thinkers in my own space, I'll be working with classroom teachers and students in their space.
Oh, and all this in a new school too. The learning curve just curved again.
I understand the benefits of both working in classrooms and working with students outside of the classroom. Of course, I'll be honest, I adore my own cozy room full of books and magic and connecting with readers and writers.
I'm open to the possibilities of what is to come, working with teachers and students in classrooms. I'll be reaching more students and working alongside teachers to be a thinking partner and to help students achieve their goals.
Change can be good, but change can also be hard.
Or, in my case, change can be hard, but change can also be good. I have to envision the positive.
For now, I appreciate time - time to reflect, to accept, to think, to plan, to read, to write, to ponder, and to dream forward.
