Great visiting

Tuesday I was invited to meet with the principals of Ingham County. It is always great to visit with them. We went through some of the recent reform legislation. I focused on those areas that impact the building principal right away. I was a little surprised, and pleased, at all the questions. I started with the changes to personal curriculum committee legislative language and then moved onto the Algebra II clarity language. I’m beginning to feel these two topics will be the focus of my career.

A great discussion was around the legislative language regarding performance and evaluation. As one principal said, “After reading the actual language this is a real paradigm shift.” He was right on target.

I really enjoy the opportunity to discuss the intent of legislation. It was a great visit.
