This year has brought a lot of change with it. New house, new school, and many new faces, friendships, and professional endeavors. The move from 7th & 8th grade to 5th grade has been good for me. I have always felt a draw to younger grades, and the middle level elementary setting is truly where I belong. I, like many other educators, am now in the mid-September period of trying to settle down into a "normal" schedule. Part of being in a new district involves having new expectations.

This approach to mission and goal setting has four tenants, each of which I will be blogging about in detail. Those tenants are:
Think of this as a reflection tool, and as an opportunity to improve my professional writing. I plan to stay in this district, for as long as possible.
