Last Wednesday Education Week (@educationweek) showcased the daily activities of building administrators by encouraging principals to tweet and post images to Instagram about their day using the hashtag #APrincipalsDay. Here is a sampling of the photos from my day:
It was hard to remember to photograph or document all of the things that were happening that day.
Just like any other day as a building administrator, multitasking is the norm and many actions could not be shared with a tweet or photograph. Student discipline, IEP meetings, phone calls to and from parents/central office/maintenance/transportation (LOTS of phone calls fill a principal's day), and a truckload of emails are just a few of the activities that were not shared
Reviewing the posts from that day it was awesome to see the many similarities to my day in rural southwest Virginia. Although hundreds of principals are in my PLN, I enjoyed the glimpse into their daily routines. Thanks for the opportunity @educationweek and thank you PLN for continuing to use the hashtag to share the great things that are happening in education every day!
