Throughout our school wide investigation, as beginning administrators, I think we all will find out that most of us will have many ideas for improving our schools floating around in our heads. We will all try to do a good job with collaborating with each other, being positive with each other, and helping each other out. One of the key factors we will need to focus on is how do we keep this interest going from year to year. We will have the ever widening pothole in the road called managerial duties to deal with. In a small school district where there are fewer administrators, it will seem like more and more managerial duties are piled on top of us. Soon we are concentrating on managing our schools instead of leading our schools. It will become important for school personnel to teach themselves and learn how to investigate and not lose site at what makes the school improve, the people. Using investigative programs can keep personnel out of a rut, keep them seeing the big picture, and moving toward a common destination, improved students and schools.
