(a) I am a strong advocate of visibility. The hard part is that all it takes is one phone call or teacher with an issue to tie an administrator to the office. My assistants and I try to remain highly visibile during lunch, before and after school, and as frequently as possible during class changes. Visibility tends to stop some problems before they start and can provide students and staff with more accessiblity to administrators.
(b) I need the most work on "handling things once". Issues sometimes get temporarily covered up on the desk, requiring additional handling. While emails and faxes are more efficient means of communication than traditional mail service, they seem to have exponentially increased the amount of directives and correspondence that I receive.

Visability is a key issue for us at RHS. Students and faculty continually talk about how much we are in the classroom. Our visibility not only affords us the opportunity to suggest areas for focused improvement but also gives us a great opportunity to offer praise on a regular basis. The one area that I could improve upon is closing my door to get some things done. I rarely close my door and believe it could be a measure to help get some jobs done more efficiently.
