Spring is here, graduation is near. Hope springs eternal. Trite but true words that are so appropriate for the upcoming events in May.
These 2012 graduates are about to embark on a new adventure in education. New thoughts, new ideas, new positions, all springing from their work with REEP and with the intention of improving “school” for this century.
We wish them well in their endeavors.

As a retired educator, I have the privilege to visit many campuses when I mentor students. If I listen to only the administrator’s viewpoint, it would be easy to be disheartened about our future in education.

The holidays have begun for people of all faiths and beliefs! Streets and stores are decorated. The radio plays non-stop holiday songs. Parties are scheduled and shopping is in full swing. It seems to begin earlier each year and can seem overwhelming. However, why not make these joyous occasions a year-around occurrence, at least the celebrating part?

Have you ever had a parent “go off” on you? This may be one of most disconcerting times in the life of an administrator, especially the first time it occurs. We have all heard the advice that one should not take it personally. What a joke! Of course, it is personal! The challenge for me as an administrator was to turn this extremely negative happening into a positive. Since it is the time of year to have those required conferences, it seems timely to have some thoughts on the subject.
