Part 4 Blog Comments following SISE Conference

My SISE Conference was held with Superintendent-Elect, Dr. Timothy Chargois.  He reviewed each domain with me, and asked questions to ensure that I was familiar with each competency.  He stated that I needed to study the competencies and make them my own.  He shared that I needed to make sure that I had experience within each competency.  He is a very educated and well-rounded individual.  He encouraged me to become exemplary in the areas where I was ranked as proficient.

Reflection: 

Throughout this endeavor, I have learned so much.  At the beginning of this tedious journey, I also became the Early Childhood and Elementary Language Arts Supervisor.  Gosh, talk about an eye opener.  I realized how critical my job as a supervisor was and how valuable my counterparts are.  There is so much more to learn.  During this course, I learned what areas I needed to grow if I was going to pursue the career of a superintendent.
