Welcome to EDL 522. As part of the requirements for this course you will be required to post comments to this blog after every class session. These comments should be a reflection of the readings, lectures, guest speakers, activities, or discussions that occurred during the day. I hope you enjoy the class and I will do my best to share with you the theoretical and practical lessons that you will need to be a successful school administrator.

Saturday November 8th
My aha moment for Saturday was when Dr. Closen showed us the Christmas card he was given from a former parent with the photocopy of the enormous check he donated to the school district. Dr. Closen reminded us about treating everyone with respect because you never know what might happen. I've had that philosophy for a long time as well. I try my best to treat everyone with respect. Kids, parents, staff because you never know what could happen. You may get a generous donation or your life could be in their hands and if they remember you as someone who always treated them with respect then hopefully they will return the favor. I will be honest and say that it is hard at times to show everyone respect when the are cussing you up and down, but I always try to end the conservations with, "Thank you maam, and you have a good day."
