Today I had to turn down the coaching position for Summer School. I was sent the professional development schedule of trainings for iTech and it will be pretty busy. The SMA staff are pretty strict on their 'no conflicting dates' policy and I get that, so I regretfully turned down that opportunity.
It would have been great for it to work out, because being a coach would have been an amazing leadership role at the district level. That is certainly something I could use more of. However, I do feel like my new position at iTech will afford me many opportunities in the coming years.
So alas, no summer school, I hope someone else gets the opportunity that really deserves it. I also hope that I can take up the chance somewhere down the road...
