I have so much going on right now - it's crazy
Being in Administration is what I want to do so badly but preparing for it (well, to get hired as a legit admin instead of just being a "teacher on assignment" which I am now) is so hard!
I am about halfway through my Masters now, and I am doubling - no tripling up on classes this summer. Right now I am doing my Internship & also taking a class titled "The Role of the Principal" and as soon as my Internship ends I start up "School Finance and Budget" or something like that. The work is endless. The Role of the Principal class just started on Tues and I have had an intense workload daily since then.
I have district FPMS (Florida Performance Measurement System) training on Mon-Wed of this upcoming week, and that is completed by a 200 question multiple choice test on Wed afternoon. If I don't pass it, I cannot take it again for 30 days.
I am also taking the FELE (Florida Educational Leadership Exam) this summer - the multiple choice sections (4.5 hours of test) on July 01st and then the written section on July 26th. If I don't pass these I also have to wait another 30 days to retake them.
I am trying to bust my ass & do all this during the summer in the hopes to get into PNP (Preparing New Principals) through the district during the 08/09 school year. You normally cannot get into this program without having FPMS, FELE, and your Masters degree complete, but I am going to hopefully pass the FPMS class, the FELE, and then try to talk my way into getting into it being only partially done with my Masters. I want to finish my Masters by May of next year (I am slated to be done in Aug) so that if any AP positions open up for the 09/10 school year, I am at least able to apply if I want to.......or I will be able to follow Heidi & my dream of moving to France & being an administrator there :-)
At least I have some stuff to look forward to............my mom is coming to visit next Fri-Sun and then I am leaving Sun evening to go on a little romantic get-a-way to Orlando for a few nights............YEA!!!
