Reflection:
Improving instruction is deeply connected to planning, providing appropriate staff development activities, and following them up with classroom observations that reinforce the strategies taught. Attending the school board meeting was a very positive experience. Understanding and respecting the relationship between the administration and the Board of Education will be an ongoing learning experience for me.
