Organization

Being organized is my focus. My Teaching Assistants are naturally, super organized. I am blessed to have their help in getting me structured with file cabinets, handouts, and keeping up with grading, returning work. They love this stuff and bounce back looking for more.

Part of being a manager is assigning work to someone else whose really good at that job.

My goal this year is to be a fabulous high school art teacher with exciting, in depth lessons that teach to different modalities and ensure success. Keeping up with professional responsibilities is a huge part of teaching, and having students who help keep me organized and structured is such a blessing. Organization gives me breathing space to function. It's about being in the job a year, running through the lessons, getting who the kids are, knowing how to work with my colleagues, and then sensing what needs to happen and how.

Being organized is taking responsibility, putting structures in place to support efficient action. It's the balance and the base from which my impulsive, spontaniety, and putting all my energy into just being "out there" is released. The yin and yang of life.
