Discussion of Internship Plan

Dr. Pedro Galaviz and I discussed my comprehensive internship plan via a conference call on July 6^th.  We initially discussed the Lamar program in general, and then talked in more detail about the requirements of the internship.  I explained the format of the plan that covers the 38 skill areas found in our text correlated to the 10 Superintendent competencies. Dr. Galaviz pointed out my fortunate situation in that the activities outlined in my internship plan will be a part of my real work over the next several months.  As we discussed the activities, he felt they all aligned and would be an integral part of my current work.  We talked about the new leadership in our district (a new Deputy Superintendent, new Assistant Superintendent for Secondary, and me as the new Assistant Superintendent for Elementary), and that I may want to ask our new Deputy Superintendent to be my site supervisor or an additional site supervisor for this course when she begins later in July.  He expressed his willingness to continue in this role as well.  He also encouraged me to consider applying for a doctoral program.

Dr. Galaviz encouraged me to be thinking about real issues that arise throughout the next several months related to transportation and food services and to modify my plan as I go to reflect those real situations.  For now, the activities I have listed would serve me well, but there may be an opportunity for real “on the job” experiences to be part of my internship.
