Coming to an End . . . But Really Just Beginning

All of the courses in this superintendent program have been valuable. However, after conferencing with my Site Supervisor and reflecting on all that has been accomplished during this relatively short timeframe, I realized that I have participated in more activities and learned more about being a district leader than I thought I would.  In reviewing my logs and the internship tasks that I completed, I realized that several projects that were started during this time, will be continuing after this class is over which gives me the perfect opportunity to continue learning about all that I can about being a superintendent. My site supervisor encouraged me to branch out of my comfort zone and learn more about the secondary schools during the next few years. We discussed the possibility of me attending the mid-winter conference as well. She explained to me that I was “on the right path” to being an effective leader, but that I needed to continue to learn all that I can  about effective district leadership because “leaders never stop learning” or have “it all figured out.”  She reminded me to always stay focused on the main thing, student learning.
