Why I love working at ICSB

There are many reasons -- but here's a key one: the administration.

If you know me at all, you know how I hate lesson plans. I hate creating objectives, categorizing assessments, blah blah blah.... Well, we're in the process of a review, and all that boring curriculum stuff is necessary. I despise it.

However, in our meeting, the principal saved me from utter despair by making this promise: he will sub a half day of classes for each teacher so we can work on our unit plans uninterrupted in a conference room. He even had a calendar so we could sign up on the spot.

This is pretty miraculous. The worst thing about teaching is lack of time to get everything done, so to have the gift of time -- well, it's one of the most encouraging things, professionally, I can imagine.

So I'm in a pretty good mood today -- and only two days until our amazing long weekend! :)
