Today I was honored to be a part of the interview team for my school district's future directory of literacy.
Those are BIG shoes.
I reviewed the job description. It is packed full of ideals and roles and expectations.
After meeting with three candidates...
I was reinvigorated with the possibility of leadership that is genuine, understanding, and forward-thinking while still holding onto the values of literacy instruction.
I was reaffirmed in my beliefs and knowledge about literacy, best practices, and learning.
I was reminded that there are teachers and leaders who have that same passion and drive as I do about literacy.
Our district is moving, changing, and reinventing education. I am glad to be apart of such a movement. And after all that listening, I'm exhausted with ideas swirling around in my head.
It's a good feeling to have.
Isn't it great when something like that sparks or reignites our passion for education. Good luck with the hiring process!

ReplyDeleteThis is a gift. Trust me - someone who knows that changes in other directions can also make big, but not so good, differences. It's exciting that you were on this interview team and that you will be a force for good in your district's literacy work. Can't wait to hear how it all goes!!
