1. Finish my math specialist.
2. Blog on a regular basis in a professional context.
3. Take my principal qualifications so that I can investigate going into administration at the elementary level.
And so, as I focus on my second goal these days I am wondering something. Do principals blog like teachers do? I have just recently begun reading several professional blogs written by teachers who share similar professional interests as myself. I enjoy looking for ideas for my program and my classroom on Pinterest. But I have not come across blogs written by principals. Perhaps I just haven't looked for them. Or maybe there is something about that part of the educational sector where blogging isn't useful. Maybe principals simply don't have the time to write blogs.
So I wonder if two of my goals are in conflict with each other. I could be totally wrong here, though. I am tempted to spend the rest of my night looking up blogs written by principals. I mean, what is the point of all this blogging. Why am I writing this blog? Why do I read other people's blogs? To share ideas. To be inspired. To hope that someone else out there might have the same problem I have. I don't think these needs change once you become the head of a school. I know that once or if I become a principal I am going to need all the help I can get.
In the middle,
Melissa
