For the next few days, I am working on a long-term plan for my professional career that will include the plans for Burton HS Journalism, the Academy of Information Technology, and the English Language Development program.
These three programs are very important to me, but to be realistic, I cannot optimally thrive in all three without giving up something somewhere. I am looking to build the Journalism program as my main focus and hopefully enfold the AoIT program into the broadcasting aspect of the news services of our school.
I am also excited about the partnerships with the Special Ed Department and taking on some colleagues in improving the ELD program at our school. Too long I have been operating on my own with all levels of English Language-learners. I am hoping I have a curriculum binder that can be shared and modified as the year progresses.
So I’ll fill you in on how the planning goes. The summer is going fast, so I had better play hard and work hard, and not waste a minute!
