Meeting with Dr. Benny Soileau- Site Supervisor

Dr. Soileau (Site Supervisor) came over to campus yesterday to do some walkthroughs. He was good with my plan and offered any help he could. He encouraged me to come over any opportunity I could and sit in meetings with him so that I could get a better picture of the day to day operations of his office.

Our district adopted a long-term initiative two years ago called ASPIRE. It is a huge project and he encouraged me to align as many of my tasks as possible with our initiative (kill two birds with one stone-so to speak).

In all he was very complimentary. He said he believed by far the most important element of it all was the ability to facilitate- rather it be a small meeting, or the facilitation of a campus of district-wide initiative. He said it was an art and a skill that had to be honed.

He didn’t add anything to the plan task-wise.

I had already added a few assignments under competency 7 since my first submission. I will create a new wiki and blog page and post the revised plan as well.

I look forward to any comments you may have.

Also,
ENJOY your next two weeks off- but don't forget to pay your tuition. :)

Web Conference

Good Morning:

To start, I really enjoyed the conference last night. It was great to put faces with names and hear where everyone comes from and what they do. I had been a part of VTC's in the past, but never in a class setting in that format. It was extremely interesting despite any technical difficulties and I am impressed with the variety of backgrounds and levels of expertise in the class.

Again, thanks to classmates for help and questions answered. It is great to reach out on the discussion board with a question or problem and have someone out there able to help.

Respectfully,
Rob Murray
