1.The interactions that I have with staff, parents, and especially students at the school level an extremely important part of my job. I really value and love the time that I spend in our schools interacting with students. My school visits are now at 364 for the year. The purpose of the visits include but are not limited to supporting instruction, school improvement visits, walkthroughs, ceremonies, special events and interacting with students. Listed below are some of the events and visits since the end of May. My previous record for school visits in one day was seven but on May 26 I made 10 school visits which is my new high for one day. On that day I attended a Memorial Day ceremony, a city beautiful parade, a city beautiful ceremony, a visit with a principal, walk through observations of co-teaching lessons at 2 separate schools, attendance at a PTA event, and a community event at a school. Listed below from Left to Right is a picture at the Edsel Ford Senior Honors Commencement, two pictures from the Maples Concert and below that are two pictures from the Lindbergh Leadership day representing some of my school visits.
