It might have been the time change, a head cold, the Nyquil in my system from last night, or all three; but today was a rough start for me. At school.
I still woke up, ran, got the kids ready, and was at school by 7:10 – but after that I felt completely stuffed up and immobile.
I decided to walk around and observe learning. I figured the combination of interacting with students and teachers, starting the day off with that positivity, and getting a little more exercise might be good.
I left the office c 8am and got back c 9am – having seen all the classrooms in action – some in the morning routine – others in the midst of lessons or tests. It definitely helped (though I still feel sluggish).
Other ways to pep your day as a principal? How can we proactive in “seizing” the day?
