I am currently completing my administrative internship at South Warren Elementary School in Warren County, North Carolina. I taught business education to middle school students (6-8) at Warren County Middle School. Some of the areas included: keyboarding, Microsoft Office and IC3. I also taught Digital Media to ninth and tenth grade students at Warren New Tech High School. One area of expertise I have is building relationships. I have learned for any relationship to work it must have trust and communication.

 * Some are the literacy principles include: broadened definitions and descriptions in 21st century, process matters, and collaboration is powerful.

 * We want students to be lifelong learners, not just EOG passers.

I learned a ton of information on yesterday that gives me a better sense of what students need to learn at different grade levels. This will assist me when teachers ask me questions about how to help them professionally. With a better understanding, I will be able to talk to teachers and ask better questions when we are in conferencing. This will allow me to think more about how to design professional development workshops for the staff.
