One of my New Years Goals was to start showing up for my blog on a weekly basis. Here it is, January 18th and I'm finally here. I'm taking an idea from one of my favorite online librarians, Jessamyn West, http://www.librarian.net/ and making goals for 2009 rather than Resolutions.

On the work tab, my goals are:

• Complete National Board Portfolio by March 31 (a good date because it's the deadline)
• Finish Collection Development Plan for the Library
• Weeding focus: exceptionally old books in Non-Fiction
• Work on a successful Friendship Festival
• Plan for Accelerated Reader teacher training for 2009-2010

In the school section:

• Complete 5 courses (1 in the Spring, 2 in the Summer and 2 in the fall.
• Begin the process of obtaining an Internship at University of Oxford in 2010 http://www.ox.ac.uk/

The Personal tab of my life notebook:

• Don't work so hard I forget to stay in touch with people
• Scuba Certification
• Last 10 pounds!
• Master the art of Facebook and Twitter
• Start reading again!
