The Principal's Summer Excellence ChecklistI I vividly remember ending my second year as assistant principal and moving into my new role as principal. Thoughts flooded my mind as new initiatives, new ways of doing things, and aspirations for excellence permeated through my brain. After about two hours of getting virtually nothing done, I stopped what I was doing and started writing down topics on a big white board in an empty classroom.
"I want to make this a great place for staff and students." That thought continued to go through my mind as I wrote, but it gave me very little opportunity to put all these initiatives and ideas into an order that made sense. When I finally sat down and looked at the board, I noticed something was missing, ORDER. I created categories that supported my ultimate goal, and then moved ideas to the appropriate category. Little by little, my plan started to come together. As a result, some of my greatest ideas disappeared, while some of my ideas that were a little fuzzy turned into something fantastic. When I made a checklist, I was able to ensure that I turned my grandiose ideas into an intentional plan of action. The Principal's Summer Excellence Checklist Culture
