3 Year PD Plan Reflection

As I have stated too many times, as an Athletic Director, I do not get to deal with Curriculum and Instruction that often. With this being my central area of needing improvement, I have crafted a plan that keeps engaged in Curriculum and Instruction. The major aspect of my plan is to continue working towards my Doctorate at Lamar. Maybe some of y'all can join me and continue this journey? My reasoning behind continuing my education is two-fold, one this allows me to speak with my Superintendent and relate to him better. I can use the terminology that he expects and put Athletic analogies into Academic situations. I truly believe that starting the Superintendent Certification courses helped me obtain this new job opportunity. The lessons that we were learning fit right into many of the questions that were asked during the interview. Two, education is something nobody can take away. This education will allow me to pursue my long term goal of being a Superintendent. I do realize that I have taken a non-traditional path. This is why my education will be vital to making up for any percieved weakness I may or may not have. In conclusion, the biggest step I can take on my three year PD plan is to continue growing and build relationships as I go along. When we reflect, we see we did not get here alone. We all have had help along the way. That is where life's journey can split into many path's. The one constant in everybody'd path is growth. Fellow classmates, keep on growing and I hope to see you again soon!
