Supervisor Conference

On Friday June 28, 2013, Mr. Driskell and I met at his home and went over my intern plan.  He had went over the plan prior to our meeting and he had many positive comments about the plan and the main thing he suggested was to continue to follow the plan and be flexible to making changing when I felt necessary.  Another piece of advice that he gave was to be sure and document these activities and any significant events that occurred during the activity.  One thing that he said he liked or thought was a good idea was the fact that many of my activities covered more than one competency and he encouraged me to try to work more into some of those activities. The next activity that he said he thought was a great idea was the idea of changing or putting teachers in different positions if we as administrators thought the students could benefit from this activity.  His belief is that when a new Superintendent comes in and gradually makes change then it is more acceptable then coming in and instantly changing just to change.  He encouraged me to take a survey of things and document anything that may need change or improvement.   At this particular point he didn’t advise that I add any activities to my plan but to always be willing to make changes as I go and other opportunities present themselves.  It was interesting because he said not only will flexibility be important in my coursework, but he thought being flexible was one the most important characteristics of a successful administrator.
