 Unfortunately I recently lost the entire content of my blog, although it was only 1 years work, I will miss being able to look back and reflect upon my past work.  However I will use this opportunity to refocus my blog on my current interests. 

  1. What is good teaching, how do we define it!  I will try to describe it when I see it!
  2. How does assessment impact student learning.  What projects am I working on to promote this for the benefit of the students I work with.
  3. Technology.  Always an interest, how can educators use technology to increase students learning.  Is the ‘dip’ always worth it.
  4. My life as a Vice Principal.  War stories (when appropriate), and thoughts about our (administrators) role in our schools.

I am sure this will continue to develop, but it’s a start!
