She is responsible for all administrative duties, program planning, overall supervision, payroll, coordination of parents and students and communication with the community. Furthermore, she is the Elective Team Leader coordinating meetings and problem solving issues of concern. Michele developed and implemented a new middle school program to replace homeroom. This program called GOLD Team develops relationships between students and teachers through sharing and listening. It incorporates character education and has made a profound impact on the overall atmosphere of the middle school.
Students work within teams and grade levels to build pride in themselves and the school community.
Michele develops the lesson plans for this period for all 30 middle school teachers. She provides materials and awards. In addition, she plans and leads all pep rallies for the school. Most important, perhaps, is her individual outreach to students on a personal level. Her open door policy and relationships with students services many students who come to her with problems.
