Think big . . . Start small . . . Go slow!

This is the meeting place for your first (and most important) professional learning community. Use this blog to keep in touch with everyone from LPP 24, share best practices you're doing in your schools, and tell funny stories. The 14 of us make quite a network throughout Utah (and Tennessee) schools. It'd be a pity to waste our connections. Check in every few weeks and contribute often. The computer keeps track, so we'll have a competition to see who posts the most often. At least, we'll call it a competition until I'm no longer winning. After that, it's not a competition.

Hired and FIRED!!!

I have the rare distinction of having been hired and FIRED by a fellow LPP 24 group member! "Really????" you ask! Yes, it's true! Principal Lori Neilsen hired me to be a fifth grade teacher at Art City Elementary. It was approved by Nebo School District's Director of Elementary Education. I was hired! It was a done deal. The next day Principal Neilsen was informed by the same director that "it was not a good idea" because it might be perceived as "bringing a friend." Bam! Just like that I was "fired." :( I will always remember the ONE day Lori and I worked at the same school with fondness. :) I always thought principals were a lonely breed! No friends allowed! As for me, I will return to my previous school, Hobble Creek Elementary.

    Oh, please Michael Ann you make me sound like such a heathen hiring and firing all in one day. Are you trying to expose me for the creep I really am? No really I am sad not to have you here. I was counting on you to make me look good!
