In many education circles, March closes out the third quarter of the fiscal year. Coffers are tight and budget discussions and calculations haunt the dreams of administrators.
Last week, when meeting with supervisor to discuss direction and next steps for the personal development program, he left me with a sense that he felt my work was done. I was confused by what I thought was lack of understanding of the curriculum design process. How could this former educator not realize I was only half-way toward the finish line?
This week, my supervisor shared that “next steps” on this project isn’t further authoring of the curriculum. Rather, I have been tasked with creating materials that our fund development team can use to go out and seek funding.
So, in addition to the creation of metacognition tools, introductory lessons, and teacher training outlines, I also created a marketing infographic and a “one-pager” for potential funders.
Next week I will meet with the fund development team to create a strategic plan. I will also meet with the administrator of our teaching staff to discuss ways to incorporate my work into next year’s instructional plan. Such is life outside the classroom - meetings, meetings, meetings.
