This was a great class that was very informative for any future administrator. We started the night with three presenters from Clovis, Sanger, and Visalia. We learned the importance of the hiring and firing process. It was made very clear from all districts that "you are who you hire". It is important to take the time and do the background checks on candidates for a job in your district. Also, they all continued to make sure we understood the importance of documentation.
Next we had CADA come in and talk to use about listening and respect. We did a great activity, which showed us how to truly listen with respect by not interrupting. That was a bit challenging, especially when you want to agree and tell your story. It was a great way to show what it is to listen respectfully.
Listening to Dr. Terry Bradley was such a great opportunity. His explanation of school finance, history of different propositions, court rulings, and components of a budget was extremely informative. After listening to him made me realize that I have so much to still learn. I am thankful to know that we have a great support system in our district and that there is always someone who can answer your questions.
