Thoughts From 10/11
I teach in a very security conscience setting (a prison). So, my big aha moment came first thing in the morning when the discussion began pertaining to the article about the threatening letter. My thoughts went immediately to what would happen where I work, chargeable offenses, incident reports, segregation, shipment to a different facility etc. Not to what I would do as a principal in a public school. I realized that if I am to someday work as a principal, I need to think outside the razor wire. I need to get back in touch with the public schools that I left five years ago.
