Why start a blog?

Blogging is something that I've always wanted to do, but haven't found the time - UNTIL NOW! (As a principal I've realized that there will never really be time unless I make it, so don't think for second that I'm sitting around twiddling my thumbs with 6.5 days of school left!)

So who am I?...and why in the world should you take time to read MY blog?

Well, I'm in my 14th year as a Texas educator.  Seven of these years were teaching, both elementary and middle school science, five years as a middle school assistant principal, and I am currently finishing up my second year as a middle school principal. I have a passion for educating students and supporting the teachers that are on the front line of this challenge, neither of which is an easy job.  The positive thing is that we are all working toward a common goal of student success, and we can support each other through this journey!

I'm going to focus on exploring the needs and challenges that educators face as we strive to lead the learning of our 21st century students.  As I always tell my teachers, don't bring me problems without bringing possible solutions.  I will strive to provide both, and I value your collaboration as an important piece of the journey!

Happy Reading!

Hope
