I am so fortunate to be mentored by a principal who trusts and values me. I earned this stature as I worked with her for four months last year as part of my administrative licensing program, a formal process known as "the Practicum." And because our relationship is so productive, she has allowed me to work with her throughout this year's summer vacation.
I am still technically a teacher. I don't get paid anything extra. But I have been spending two days every week this summer working at her school, simply soaking in all the wisdom and technical knowledge I can from her. She generously shares her thoughts in her decision-making processes. She has entrusted me with a sizable plate of responsibilities. She values my input.
I have been assigned by my school district to continue my mentorship with her when the new school year starts in a month. It is going to be a pleasure to open the school together.
