Instead, these details are expected. I talked about these three areas for example:</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">1. Connect with kids, parents, and the community.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">2. Find your place in the organization.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">3. Take time to grow personally and professionally.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Today, I am continuing the discussion about "Not My Job."</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We are professionals who are expected to address things as they come up. Sometimes we may be operating way beyond what on an initial list of duties might appear as normal.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">To be better at what we do as a professional we have to go beyond the norm.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As educators we are almost never finished with our work. There is always something that needs to be done.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Here are some things to think about...</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">1. When you discover something that needs to be addressed do you ignore it?</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">2. When you find down time do you seek out something that needs to be handled?</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">What do you think?</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Thanks for listening.</span></p><br> <p> </p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Length: 16:57</span></p><br> <p> </p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
