Ever so slightly better.

Things are getting SLIGHTLY better at work.  At least I’m starting to feel a wee bit competent.  Don’t worry, i’m sure the feeling of imcompetence will somehow rear it’s ugly head at the beginning of next week.  I’m planning on doing a lesson planning marathon tomorrow and possibly tonight, so i think once i’m more than 1 day ahead with lessons I’ll feel better.

The assistant principal told me the other morning that the principal is impressed with me.  i hope that continues.  I made a point to answer his questions intelligently and ask an intelligent question during our department meeting on Wednesday. So I think that is why.

I’ve also already made parent phone calls and have some parents on board.  I have little leverage at this school as far as discipline since there is no detention, but really, if i have to call a parent every 2 days to enforce behavior in school i will.  i’m already on it!
