HOLY CARP!!!
Most of you know my job-woe tales.

Today, I was at a special ed workshop with our board. The keynote speaker was talking about assistive technology, and I happen to be the one in our Board who is piloting the software he created. After the event, I was speaking to my Special Education coordinator (I report to my principal, but she is kind of in a lateral position to my principal, and for some things I report to her).

I was discussing our success with the pilot of the software with the assistive technology team, and my Coordinator approached me. I've met her in person only a handful of times. She pulled me aside and said, "I was really disappointed to hear we're losing you from the special ed department" (a decision that does not have anything to do with my layoff - that's a whole other story) I told her that I was sorry to go, but that I needed to spend some time in the regular classroom - but that I would eventually end up back in special ed. She agreed that the classroom time was important but that they were "losing a very valuable member" in the meantime.

This is nice for two reasons - it's always great to be recognized in one's job, obviously, but also it means that my principal has been saying nice things about me to the coordinator (a friend of hers).

Just a nice little part of my day. :)

Nothin' like knowing that you're appreciated, or for that matter, even noticed!

That all sounds promising, Dol. Keep us appraised!

Uh, George ... apprised?

This is a thread about schoolteachers, after all.

And that's great news, Dol. :smile:

Sounds like lots of ups and downs in the past week or so, dol.

Hope more days like today are in store!

And know the place for the first time.
