Feedback from My MENTOR~Ann


It was so much fun reading your blog.  I had a good laugh:-)  The reflection truly shows your growth.  However, don't throw out the baby with the bath water. You had the drive, the plans, and the talent to get the job done.  Not every situation will lend itself to including all the stakeholders. 

I think you stopped short of sharing what came next.  It is just as important how you were able to fix the situation.  None of us will ever be perfect leaders.  We will all make mistakes. You developed your skills of how to mend relationships, accept responsibility for our actions, and avoid making the same mistakes again.  You cared enough about the people around you and enough about the relationships you were trying to foster to not throw-up your hands and walk away from the situation with an “I don't care attitude”.  Instead, you found a way to push through and as a result have developed relationship with people who respect you for who you are and what you were trying to do.  People appreciate the fact that you are vulnerable and that you are growing as a leader. 

Continue to lean on other and be willing to learn from them, including their mistakes :-)  I am so proud of you!

SCARY post ... I asked for FEEDBACK ... This is what I got ... I am not paraphrasing ... Keeping it REAL and RAW

Here is the question I posed ... Part of my project has been to support the foundation of MTSS. I am logging the progress and would be interested in your feedback.   Think of last year compared to this year.  Please reflect on anything that has improved, diminished, or stayed the same and if you have any further concerns or suggestions that you would like to see with the future of RGE MTSS.   The feedback is in ... My mentor, Ann ...writes: The MTSS and PBS process has improved tremendously since last year.    There is a process that is consistent and understood by all.   The meeting dates, times, and coverage has been scheduled throughout the year.   The stress level for teacher involvement has decreased and their knowledge about the process, including knowing how to talk about student interventions verses programs has also improved.   Specific areas have been identified for growth in the coming year, but the areas of growth are tweaks to process that is working.

The END IS HERE!!

I can't believe I am sitting here with only 7 days left as an Administrative Intern.  The MTSS structures that are in place are probably what I am most proud of.  A system was in place for the MTSS process, but the district had large representation in the process at Rogers Garden Elementary.  My administrator made it very clear that this was a system that she wanted the school to regain ownership of.  The idea of collaboration with district representation was one that should be honored, but owning the process, the students, the data, building capacity with the teachers, were all components of the MTSS structure that Ms. Ann Broomes, principal at Rogers Garden Elementary wanted to see in place. Through collaboration with Amy, the school-based behavioral Specialists/MTSS Chair, we got to work.  The journey was some days frustrating trying to find answers and be turned in circles for answers.  Attempting to locate pieces of information and ensure that we were meeting the personal an

Last year, I had the privilege of sitting in on RGE's MTSS process.  There was a similar concern that was raised at the meetings.  The concern was there was a lack of knowledge with some grade levels/teachers regarding data as well as a concern that intervention strategies were not connected to student need. In speaking with my administrator and the assistant principal that was leaving, the need to streamline the MTSS process existed.  The district members present on the committee drove the MTSS process.  The goal this year is for Rogers Garden Elementary to be the driver of these meetings.  Myself in connection with my administrator and the new behavioral specialist/MTSS Chair are working collaboratively to make this happen. The infrastructure is being built from the ground up.  As the Administrative Intern, I am sitting on the CORE meetings as well as the MTSS meetings to bridge and foster effective communication.
