I have a new administrator. And the jury is still out on whether I like how she does things. Don't get me wrong; I'm loyal to the cause and will do my best to work with her wishes. But I found my attitude slipping the last couple weeks, until I remembered....
I'm actually not there for her. Or for the district, or for my career. I'm there for the kids. I'm there because I have a mission to do the following:
- change the way students think of Social Studies
- change the way students think of school
- change the way students think of teachers
- help them through the difficult transition that is 7th grade
- help them love learning
- help them love life
And I can still do all these things with tighter restrictions, an "echo-ey" classroom, shorter class periods and larger class sizes. It might not be as easy, but I have to remember it's not my strength anyhow. My strength and wisdom comes from above, and when I need it, it will be there.
I Thessalonians 5:16-19 NIV Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances; this is the will of God for your life.
II Corinthians 9:8 NIV And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
