Topic 5
Nov 6 2006, 8:14 PM EST
(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. Do you find this valuable? |

to kvsmith: Thanks for responding to topic five. I agree with you--visibility during the high traffic times is essential. We never really know the impact that it has until we STOP doing it. You're right with the information overload reality as well. Much of this is again deciding on priorities, and what can be handled by other people.

We agree with visiablity too. The more we our out the fewer problems seem to exist. I too am horrible at handling things one time. I generally, as we all do, get interrupted so many times in one day that it is difficult to remember my name let alone handling the issue one time. I will try to focus on doing this once.
