We
spent the first 15 minutes or so getting acquainted as we do not work closely on
a regular basis. We discussed our
district, our goals, as well as comments related to our current Superintendent,
Dr. Kay Waggoner. I commented on how
impressed I was with Dr. Waggoner (during my interview earlier in the course).
I
presented Mrs. Kieker with the Internship Field Manual, letters of agreement, and
draft internship plan. Mrs. Kieker
expressed her inexperience with the Lamar Superintendency Internship. She had served as a site supervisor for
internships prior, but never for a Lamar intern.
We
discussed opportunities available to me this year and agreed that there are
many upcoming opportunities that will be added to my Internship Plan (as we
progress through the year). My ISD was
recently named to the High Performance Schools Consortium by the Commissioner
of Education (Michael Williams). Because
of that, I will be a top level operative in my district on that project. The initial meeting in Austin will occur in
late October. Until then, we are not
100% certain of our activities.
Mrs.
Kieker and I will add to, and modify existing activities throughout the year as
opportunities present themselves, to possibly include an Action Research
activity.
We
left things very fluid and very much in a DRAFT form (by mutual agreement and
design --- pending the meetings in Austin in late October).
You have an interesting year ahead of you. I find it interesting that my site supervisor, like yours added that they could modify our plans as needed throughout the year.
ReplyDeleteI feel that our internship plans not only help us with our educational goals, but also make a contribution to the district.
