Site Supervisor Meeting

I met with my site supervisor on Friday February 17^th at 11:00a in his office at the administration building.  I brought along my book and my internship planned that we had worked on together the week before.  I shared with him some of the activities that I was currently working on to make sure that these were in line with he wanted me to do.  I also wanted to make sure that I was doing what he expected from me in some areas on my campus.  The highlight of our meeting was the common goal that we share as I go through this program. We both agreed that as I choose activities they should be skillfully planned to improve my campus and the district. Which means that activities might change in midstream as he or I come up with better ones that are possibly an immediate need or better for the bigger picture.  He made some recommendations about my plan that I found to be typical problems that I have as an administrator – I try to do too much.  He suggested that I tone down some of the activities and reflect on things that I already do or have experience with.  After our discussion I looked back over my internship plan and aspired to keep it the same so far and to make adjustments as they come up.  Not that I do not want to take the recommendations of my superior but I have looked over this plan so many times that at this moment I do not know that to change. I imagine that as I venture further into my internship I will see ways to take his advice and he may as well.  I have been lucky enough to have a second site supervisor, but have not been able to schedule a face-to-face visit with him yet.  He is a superintendent of another district about 45 minutes away from me.  Once I am able to schedule that I am going to also have him review my internship plan and possibly be able to some of my activities in his district.  Dr. Creel mentioned in our web conference that during the budget course we will have to network with other districts for more insight into how others are working their budgets.  I hope that my second site supervisor will allow me access to this information.  We have talked informally about his fund balance and the direction of facilities and capitol improvement projects so I imagine he would be willing to allow me to pick his brain too.
