Technology Integration & Coaching

This year I am working at Arlington in the area of technology integration. It is the first time in 20 years as a teacher that I don't have classes and students assigned to me all day. There are many things that need to be done, and sometimes it seems like I am running in place. As one problem gets fixed - two or three more seem to take its place.

I like the technology and working with staff and students. I don't like the meetings and the feeling that you should be able to "fix" every problem immediately. When I was in the classroom, I could control most of the factors that affected my teaching. Now it seems like the problems are bigger and much harder to control.

I guess the answer is to keep working and not worry so much . . . if only it were that easy!
