In developing this 3 year plan, I am again reminded of the importance of having a roadmap to assist you in  getting to your destination. By reflecting on the activities throughout the courses I was able to identify areas for further growth. As the years pass, I am sure that the plan will morph to reflect the changing skill levels I have in each competency. As long as I can identify positive mentors in the field of education, I will have strong individuals to turn to and ask for guidance. Even for a superintendent it is important to identify these key people. Everyone needs a strong network to guide and assist them.
