After being in school for three weeks, I have learned more than I could possibly imagine about being an administrator. First and foremost, an administrator must have effective communication and listening skills. If the communication is not detailed and explicit, teachers will be confused as to their duties and responsibilities.
At Westlawn, we have many first year teachers and at least 9 of them are Teach For America teachers. Although they are young and fresh out of college, they are extremely intelligent, tech savvy, eager and creative in their teaching. It's extremely important that communication from the administrator is explicit and detailed because they are new to education. I am excited to have the opportunities to watch these young teachers in their classrooms.
