What to Select? What to Select?

Wow! Decisions, Decisions! What will I pick? I didn't realize that there were so many topics to research in a school. I am learning that as a department chair, that I can always look at someone elses research to help with my problems. Its nice to know that there are schools all around that are going thru similar problems, and if they have already done the research to improve, then hey I am already a step ahead. I have also learned it is okay to visit with teachers that have already had a student to get an update on learning styles or possible issues. In doing this I have also been reminded that a child will begin with a new slate and just because he/ she may be a problem in someone elses class doesn't mean they will be for me. NO NEGATIVE JUDGEMENTS ALLOWED!
