teacher mentor/ dealing with school

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Verbal,
As Jane has pointed out this is a busy time for school staff to talk about anything. Having a plan laid out with timelines and needs shows all involved that you have a good idea of what needs to be done and have put a lot of effort into your idea. You might try making a packet that the Principal and other teachers could look through at their leisure. Our team actually approached the school district many years ago with a plan to turn the team into a class. It was well prepared and had the input of some teachers for a class plan and showed the number of hours the average student added to the team. The school board was so impressed they granted the request and now we meet all year long and the students receive a grade for their work. If your principal needs some additional input, Wildstang is available to answer questions and I can communicate with him/her via email to get the ball rolling if you need to.
