Lately I have been reading "the Secret." The principles in this book have made me realize that anything is possible if you put yourself in the right frame of mind.
This philosophy can easily be brought into the world of education planning. It is difficult to get people to be excited about planning. However, if you apply the "law of attraction" to your planning, you will get what you seek. If you go about preparing to plan with a dreading persona, then everyone will feed off that attitude, and they too will adopt that "feeling." Like a spiral, things can get out of hand pretty quickly, unless you are ready to make an effort to change. If you go into a planning phase by being excited, or at least, have a positive outlook, good things will transpire.
This past year has been a time of adjustment and growth for me. I am new to the administrative position and I am trying to get my staff to change as a school. It has been challenging, yet I go to work each day with the attitude that I am responsible for how I want the day to turn out. For most of the time, the day goes as I plan; I enter the school with a smile on my face and I pass it along. It seems to be working...so I am going go with it!
You are in control of what will happen....

Hi Sheri, very similar to my last comment regarding being positive - as a leader in a school people feed off of you and your attitudes and behaviours. I remember a staff member asking me once why I was always so happy. I thought yes I have accomplished my goal, as little do they know I am not always happy but they don't need to know that I am having a bad day. Unfortunately I need to keep this positive persona at home with my family, because they sometimes get the other side.
ReplyDeleteI guess thinking of planning as a change of seasons and the excitement that goes along with that might help. It is a chance for new growth and with that comes new change. Willing to try anything to make it a positive experience.
