My progress in the program

I have been afforded some very valuable opportunities from my administrators that are helping me prepare for a future position as a principal.  I have completed all of my internship hours plus some and I am just wrapping up getting all of the reflections on my internship log.  As I read back over the reflections, I realize how far I have come in my studies.  I think back to the beginning of this program and realize that I was very green.  I also realize that my learning won’t stop as I complete this program.  As we have discussed many times during classes and discussion boards, our learning is never done!  I will continue to seek opportunities that will further prepare me for a future position in leadership. 

My action research is coming along.  I spent all of last year collecting data on the effects of nightly reading and a student’s reading level.  Over the course of the summer, I have disaggregated the data and continued to gather more current articles on the subject.  I have all of the information needed to begin to compile a rough draft of the research paper.  The findings were interesting and I cannot wait to get everything complied into one paper.
