Start Me Up

I wonder when the Rolling Stones wrote that song if they knew it would be played in football stadiums all across America?  I am not going to discuss football, but I am looking forward to it getting started, I want to talk about the start of school.

I get to meet with our full staff both classified and certified on Monday.  I think we have a great day planned for them and I am really excited about getting to meet all of them officially.  I love being so excited, it makes me feel good, and I hope I can excite our staff about the upcoming school year.  I realize the highlight of the day won't be my presentation, but I'm sure eager to share the things I've learned through my twitter connections the past two years.

We are about impart on some new adventures here at Northeast and I hope to bring the staff along and hope they share in my excitement for the upcoming year.  I can't wait to show them some of the educational technology tools I have used in the past and what is available to them.  The primary point is to reinforce that we are learners like the students and school is a joint venture of learning together.  I also know as I challenge some of the traditional educational practices some will be apprehensive and that is fine as long as their minds are open.

We will start classes on Wednesday and I will be firmly planted at the elementary school to greet those young ones as I know their excitement for school is the same as mine.  So come on Mick-Start Me Up.
