I am beginning to establish some good relationships with staff. I have set up a meeting to discuss assessment with the Leading Teacher responsible for Curriculum for next week. I have drafted a Curriculum and Assessment polcy in preparation, as the school is looking to implement a new Assessment policy.
Last week i attended LAC, Education, Learning Leading Teachers, Council, Finance, Prin Team, Wellbeing/ Prin Team, VCE Co-ordinators Network meetings and participated in the OH&S audit. I also took another extra.
I am gaining good insight into the workings of the school, which will stand me in good stead when i begin my Leadership Challenge.
Our Prin Team meeting this week will have a focus on my Leadership Challenge proposal that i gave all members of the team at the end of week 1.
I am absolutely ready to get my teeth into real leadership work for Kew now. The first 2 and a half weeks have given me a lot of reflection and research time, and whilst this has been put to good use, i want to get into some action.
I have reflected during this time, how important research and reflection/ planning time is in the week of a Principal. Although in my calendar i have scheduled time for this, i allocate it on Friday afternoons. I am going to move it to earlier in the week as it often gets swamped by seemingly more urgent work on a Friday and it gets sacrificed.
As i have become prepared for the Leading Responsibly module i have been writing school policies on all sorts of things. This has helped me develop a clearer understanding of the significance of policy in change management and school improvement.
