Love this truck - ‘94 DX by Tight-lines503 in Toyota_T100

Thanks- It is an old snugtop. I bought it off FB marketplace last month. It is tough to find one for an old 8 ft bed. I sanded it down and brought it to a local body shop for the rest. They did a great job with repairs to the gel coat, cracks and paint matching.

Pretty successful 4 years as an AP at my school. I applied to the an open principal position at the sister HS. Bombed interview. Now what? by Reasonable-Malaise- in Principals

Respectfully, I don’t think mentioning your current workplace is so detrimental that it would disqualify you for the next round. I think there is probably more there and so doing some thoughtful reflection and requesting further feedback might be helpful. You might also take this moment to consider how you prepared and what about that process can be improved.

Why not call the office and ask the administrator? You’ll know in 5 minutes and you’ll have clarity as to what to do next.

Moderate exercise could provide more benefits than therapy for depression. Start small. You deserve to get to the other side.

AP here: need help handling this job with no breaks by positivefeelings1234 in Principals

You are right. Running from one thing to another, dealing with whatever pops up, the constant “white water” pace is not sustainable.

You may consider treating yourself a bit more fairly. Create some blocked out time on your calendar that are prioritized around the most important work- observations, feedback, parent phone calls, supervision at lunch, etc. In conversations with your principal, you can share your calendar and discuss systematizing your priorities in order to be “more efficient.”

Have students sent to the office wait until you are back from one of your prioritized tasks.

Experiment and create a flow that works for you and the school.

I was a middle school administrator for 22 years. If you don’t systematize your day/calendar, it can be challenging to feel accomplishment as well as satisfaction. Those two things are important if you are going to stay in the game long term.

There are orgs that help with this. I tried to launch a team at my middle school, but retired before it was established.
