I met with Dr. Joan Bowman on September 21, 2011 at 8:30 a.m. in her office. We reviewed the Skill/Knowledge chart and then looked over my internship plan. Dr. Bowman was complimentary about the internship plan. She felt that it covered the competencies well. She liked the activity that focused on conducting a capacity study, but felt it was too verbose. We reworded it to make it more to the point. She also liked the activities about Strategic Planning and conflict resolution. I thought I was going to end the conference without making any further changes. However, that was not the case. Dr. Bowman felt that a few of the items needed to be strengthened.
The first activity that we changed was Activity 24d. Dr. Bowman did not feel that it was challenging enough. We changed it from creating and following a requisition to the following:
‘Submit the Memorandum of Understanding with JJAEP to the school board for approval. Then complete the request for an open purchase order from the budgeted account. A copy of the Memorandum of Understanding, School Board recommendation, the purchase order and a brief description of the path it follows for approval is to be included in the notebook.”
The second activity that was changed was 22a. This activity had focused on interviewing the Director of Child Nutrition. Dr. Bowman changed this activity to read:
“Facilitate the district’s School Health Advisory Committee (SHAC) in the development of an updated FFA (Local) policy in regards to child nutrition and school wellness.”
Lastly, activity 15c was changed to be more comprehensive. It now reads:
Develop a Corrective Action Plan to address Homebound attendance accounting concerns during the 2088-2009 school year. A copy of the Corrective Action Plan submitted to TEA will be filed in the notebook.
We did not add any additional activities to the plan. I was glad to have had an opportunity to sit down with Dr. Bowman and review the plan. I think the changes we made are positive and will add to my experience.

It sounds to me like you had a great intern plan review and it looks like the changes that were made are going to help you out more in the long run. This is going to be a positive experience for all of us.
Good job with your plan. I say "ggod job" because you only had 3 small revisions (compared to my 8 revisions). Of note of interest, however, is that your site supervisor changed activity 22a. that focused on interviewing the Director of Child Nutrition to read:
“Facilitate the district’s School Health Advisory Committee (SHAC) in the development of an updated FFA (Local) policy in regards to child nutrition and school wellness.”
The reason it intrigued me of her change in your activity is because my Superintendnet also changed that same activity to read virtually the same as yours. Therefore, it must be noteworthy as an activity worth learning in support of our further understanding in our becoming a Superintendent. Good job!!
Great review and very specific. My plan did not change as much during my supervisor meetings. I look forward to seeing the body of work you produce when you meet with your school heatlh advisory committee. I am curious as to why both you and Tom have the same assignment. I wonder if this is a requirement for all districts.
Very Nice. I am jealous of your blog format itself as well. I am unable to leave a comment on Reese's but am thinking about stealing an idea from him. He is setting up a technology night for parents to familiarize themselves with some of this. What do you think????

Very nice. It sounds like you had a strong plan, and the few revisions look to give you great experience. I am sure as we all get going most of the activities will change a bit. Good luck to you.
PS. I fed the fish.
It sounds like you had a productive meeting. I like the revisions to y our plan. My superintendent didn't really change any of my plan. Good luck with yours!
Your revisions look great. I wish you well in your progress. Please share any insights you gain due to your experiences.
