Motivation

We talked about motivation of personnel during today's class. As a data team leader I really need to take this information to heart as many times I am the one to bring a new idea to our team (from other sources) and if I know or can find the motivational key for the members of the team then I can make the information more inviting for their acceptance or just for their consideration. This is an area that I think is key for principals as they work with their staffs and increasing student achievement. I also feel that this class has been motivational for me and I really appreciate the knowledge that I am receiving.

The information on mentoring has been very valuable. As a person who was given the assignment of mentoring without training or guidelines I value the ideas that were set out during class. I really want to be an asset to the person I am mentoring and know I should be doing more for her. Therefore, I have talked to the people in charge of the mentoring program and have volunteered to assist in the revamping or creation of the new program.
