New chapter begins

This blog was about being an online teacher and my journey as discovered what that is and how to do it better. While I will still post about my teacher experience, I am now transition into an administration role.  I have been doing the admin work for a while now. I have had two jobs. A full time teacher and admin as needed. My Director kept telling me now to over do it but the extra stuff she was asking me to do were the pieces of my job that I like the most. So I kept asking form them.

I look forward to the transition over the summer where I will have only one job worth of work. But I am concerned about becoming a leader in the same team that I was just a co-worked in. This will mean higher standards and more oversight for the team. Our Director did not have time to look at online grade books to make sure that test are done. I plan too. But I hope it brings an ease of work and greater support to the teacher too.  I think I now how to do some short cuts that make my life easier that I want to share with the teachers.

I want to me the type of leader that people like to work for . I want to expect a great deal, but be willing to help. I want to be tough but fair and respected. Much like the Director I work for.

I look forward to the mentoring from my Director. It must be so scary to get an admin position when you are not sure of that support. I am sure most people are in that situation. I am lucky. I have a job that was my goal two years ago. I am able to work from home. I am moving into a position that I love with great supports in place.
