Dipping my toe in the water

I'm starting this blog as part of my OPC Principal's Development Course (Module 5).  The process of writing my thoughts for all to see is more than a little unnerving for me.  My preference has always been to let my thoughts roll around in my head for a few days or weeks before sharing them.  However, much like this past year has taught me with job action and school closure, it is important to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.  The skills that we gain as we navigate a consistently changing work environment are crucial for long term success in education as well as many professions.  As a school leader, I know I need to model and further develop the attributes that we need to see in our staff.  Being comfortable with ambiguity and finding strength in self efficacy are important.
