Leadership Class #3
The topic of change is one that I can relate to. In the past five years, I have taught at 3 different schools and two different grade levels. The reason this came about is because the district closed the school that I was working at for budget reasons. That was the hardest change. None if us really wanted to go, but we knew that we had no choice. Over the years, I have come to accept changes much better. Through all my moves I have learned what I really need and do not need, met all kids of different teachers and families, and have stayed very fresh in my teaching. For awhile, I taught Kindergarten and thought that there was no place else for me, but then I started to teach third grade. Now that I have am getting a degree in IT, I feel that the door may be open for more possibilities for change in the future. Change was something that I resisted at first, but now I think change is a good thing because it keeps you "fresh" as a teacher.

Change is good:). It always helps to do a personal inventory. Where are you at and where would you like to be. I left a district where I was very established after 17 years and took a leap to MTSD. A major change and after 20 years (unbelievable:) I will be taking another leap. Change keeps us fresh. It is fun to watch people grow in their profession and leadership. Good luck.
Change is hard but yet good too. I too was asked to switch grades, well not really but add a grade to be a split and it is hard. Do I love it, not really but know I know that I can teach it and just builds upon what I know I can accomplish.
