Advice from HR

I spoke with our District's HR director recently to ask for advice on how to go about designing the last five months of my internship.  These are my notes from our meeting: 

• Based on her oversight of internship programs, she feels that depth of experience at a single site is preferrable to brief experiences at multiple locations. 
• My focus on gaining instructional leadership skills is on-the-mark. 
• I should study and understand the 5-stages of the Professional Learning Community process ("PLC's").  
• One challenge that admins will face next year is steering a staff through budget reductions, being overworked, "survivor guilt", etc.  Skills/experience in this type of situation will be valuable. 
• Admin openings in our District will be scarce this year. 
• It would be unusual for a person of my experience level to be selected as an elementary principal right out of the gate.  (My District supervisor, however, doesn't feel it's out of the question.)
