My Next Chapter ...

I have been keeping a secret for a few months.

I am closing my Madeira Middle School Technology Teacher chapter. I am returning to my previous district ... and I am pumped! Elated!

Two years ago, I made the decision to leave Ross and start a new chapter at Madeira. That decision came with a lot of heartache and tears. It was the right move for me at the time and I do not regret it. This time, my job change comes without tears or heartache.

I am leaving a great district and a great building. I reunited with a great friend and met lots of wonderful educators. I was challenged to teach a variety of classes and connect with lots of students. I saw first-hand the challenges of being a "newbie", a classroom teacher, and a special area teacher. I had a lot fewer responsibilities.

I am going back to do the same job I left, this time with a colleague in the same role. I am going to see a lot of familiar faces and some new ones. I am going to miss seeing some faces that have also moved on in the past two years. 

I am going back to a new administration with a reinvented vision. 

I am going back home and I will get to write my Ross 2.0 chapter. I know this is the right move and I look forward to each new page.
