AMCMS Principal's Office
What is going on in the Principal's Office?
My Challenge to You
Take a minute to watch the video above. I am sure that you recognize the movie and I am also sure that you can relate to the problem posed in the video. There is a significant problem needing to be solved and yet the resources that are available are not exactly what is needed to solve the problem. Seem familiar? So what do you do?
In these situations you have a choice to make. You can choose to complain about the situation and how the resources on hand are not going to easily solve the problem or, you can see that you have to take your resources and do what you can with what you have to solve the problem. What do you do?
Problems like this one require us to think inside the box. We have to be able to assess the situation that we are in, assess the resources we have on hand to support us, and then make it all fit together. Sometimes, it does feel like we are trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. It does not mean that we give up or give in. It means that when we run into a road block or an obstacle while working with our students we see what we can do with what we have available and we do that. Because if we don't, then our only option is to give up and that does not help anyone.
Think. Achieve. Succeed.

Academic Tip of the Week
Always have a well-designed, engaging lesson
Perhaps you've heard the saying, if you don't have a plan for them, they'll have one for you. Always overplan. It's better to run out of time than to run short on a lesson.
Wellness Tip of the Week
Improve your gut health.
Did you know that your gut really does have “feelings”? There are nearly as many neurons in your intestines as there are in your noggin! Your incredible digestive tract is one of the body’s most important systems and the bacterias living in this delicate world need to be in balance to maintain tip-top overall health. Eating whole plant-based foods, keeping stress in check and adding some probiotics into your regimen are a few simple ways to support your glorious gut.
