My Journey Toward School Administration Mastery
That’s me and my family visiting the River Walk in San Antonio
Hello,
My name is Sam Rangel, and I’ve been a teacher at the intermediate level for 23 years.
I’ve been blogging for about a year now. My other site, SuccessInTheClassroom.com is still out there offering advice to new teachers.
Recently, however, I applied for an administration position at another intermediate school in my district, and I was hired.
I’m very excited about starting this new adventure, but I know there is a lot to learn.
I created this site to document my journey toward school administration mastery. I know I’ll probably not get there, but with the help of the many online resources out there including other bloggers, I’m going to try.
I’ll be highlighting lessons I learn as I perform my duties at the school along with great advice I’m already finding online.
I’m always looking for great resources and ideas to make my job a little easier and to help me increase the success of the students in my care, so feel free to add your comments.
Thank you for stopping by.
Here we go!
Sam
