A GOOD Week!

Okay...this was actually LAST week, but I had to share some "kudos" that I received at school...

From the superintendent of our district:

"Dear Jeff:

Thank you for the technology leadership and the dedication you provide in the media center each and every day. Your collaboration with Lincoln Center (the "other" elementary school) along with the commitment you give to the students and staff of KEC (my school) is remarkable. I appreciate your efforts of going above and beyond to assure the success of our students and the district."

From our vice principal, after a survey that I sent to staff members regarding my performance this year (instead of a "formal observation"...since it's "my turn" this year for a performance evaluation):

"Jeff is the consumate professional. He has high academic and professional standards for his students, our staff, and himself. Jeff is a true collaborator, who shapes his instruction through the lens of PYP (the IB program our school is in the process of becoming). He embodies who a PYP teacher is, and who we want to become."

In addition, our vice principal keeps dropping BROAD hints that, when our current IB coordinator retires, he wants ME to become the new "inquiry specialist/PYP coordinator" for our school.

Add to that the fact that I had drinks with the principal of Lincoln Center, and SHE was gunning for me to leave my school, and come and be THEIR PYP coordinator next year, and I'm SITTING PRETTY in South St. Paul!!!!

Hope YOU got some kudos for all that YOU do this week (last week) as well!!
