We need to make a few resolutions. Staff every classroom with certificated personnel. Keep our schools well equipped. Provide needed support to keep the educational process moving. Maintain an orderly learning environment.
Every student wants and expects rules.
The key is consistency. Be supportive and encouraging whether dealing with students or colleagues. Treat everyone like you would want to be treated including students, parents, visitors, colleagues or someone on the phone. Understand that the next increase in salary or benefits had better be for those striving on the front line. This remains the only position that really matters.
