“Thus
far the knowledge I’ve gained in 1 ½
classes has far surpassed my
expectations. On the first day of
class we were told that our thinking
would change and as the year
progressed we would gradually begin
to think like administrators. Ever
the skeptic I doubted in all
sincerity that I could, in 1 year’s
time, think as a principal. Was I
ever wrong? The Vision course
forced me to look at my school in an
entirely different light. As the
course progressed I began to notice
aspects of our culture that weren’t
as productive or positive as I had
perceived in the past. I studied our
staff and gained a whole new
perspective on individuals and their
motivations. I started closely
examining decisions my principal
makes and I’m constantly trying to
discern the reasons why certain
actions are taken. The Vision course
gave me a new set of glasses and now
my vision is clear and I can see
without a cloud of fog. With each
course the prescription gets better
and the vision becomes clearer. I’m
looking forward to the wealth of
knowledge I know I will receive from
the rest of the courses. Not only am
I learning what it takes to become
an administrator, I am also becoming
a better teacher.”
