Tuesday was the first meeting of my Portfolio Group. It was great seeing everyone again since the long summer break. I have to be honest; it was so hard getting back into the routine of scheduling time and being prepared for the meeting. Even though it was hard getting back into the swing of things, I realized that when you find something positive and worth while, you find the time. I guess that is why it is easy for me to find the time for those other things that I enjoy so much like going to the movies, out to eat at our special restaurant or going to the beach. The Portfolio Group keeps me focused on what is important to my practice and school climate. The group gives me such an opportunity to learn from so many of my peers in and across school districts and grade levels. These professionals have such vast experience and knowledge that I feel this old dog is learning something new every time.
