I guess what is really hitting me is the huge number of decisions that I'm going to have to make as a principal that there are really not any right or wrong answers to. We do this as a teacher, but not to the extent that the administration does. It is very difficult to be in a situation where there isn't a right or wrong answer, and you just have to make the best decision for everyone involved. The decisions I will make as an administrator will effect so many more people and much thought should proceed each decision.
This really hit me when I was answering a question about the board policy manual assignment and Dr. Closen did not reassure me that my answer was right or wrong. I realized it will all be up to me and that can be difficult. I'm glad Dr. Closen did that, and it helped me to understand that I have to make up my mind as to what is right. I know that sometimes I can be a little unsure of what to do and I am going to have to work on this because a principals position will require me to make many decisions quickly.
