I start my new job tomorrow...
As the Dean of Discipline for the high school in my district. I have been a middle school counselor here for 6 years. I am sooo scared! I have so many new responsibilities and still don't know how to do this job yet. My whole office is in my car waiting to go, including my small fridge! It just seems so unreal.

If he doesn't behave himself you can actually give him detention, as a teacher, I can only give David a referral Christine, I might need your initials on any referrals if I really need to turn them into a detention or suspension
You'll be great! Remember, don't let them see you sweat and don't let them CON you. Whenever one of my students is giving me a load of BS I say, "Oh please, I didn't wear my boots today and everything you are saying is really ruining my shoes!" It might take them a minute but they get it.
Our Dean is called "Head of Student Services"... no, can't we call it discipline and have some discipline
Let us know how it goes!!

Re: I start my new job tomorrow...
I will let you know how it goes- my official title is dean but I really am just in charge of discipline and everyone knows it! But the kids think I am going to be a push over compared the last guy that was there. Little do they know in this short little bod lurks a former New Yorker!
I will sign off on ALL your detention slips, Theresa!

Re: I start my new job tomorrow...
Congratulations Christine! You'll do fine--maybe some mistakes in the beginning, but that is normal.
It's great to take on new challenges IMO, even if it's scary. Some of the things that terrified me a year or two ago are no problem now.
Best wishes!

Re: I start my new job tomorrow...
Just an update! I love my new job- you teachers and counselors know the climate of the school is everything. The staff and faculty here are SOOO NICE and helpful. The custodian helped me move all my stuff and I didn't have to lift a finger. I also get my own golf cart to drive around campus- its so cool. I am so excited about this job!

YOU GET A GOLF CART????!!!!
Your school sounds great. I am envious. I could be on fire and our head custodian would walk away It sounds like you have such a supportive staff and yes, that does make all of the difference.
Congrats Christine

I have so many new responsibilities and still don't know how to do this job yet. My whole office is in my car waiting to go, including my small fridge! It just seems so unreal.
aaaggghhhh "dean of discipline"???? that was Sr. Elizabeth's job in my HS, she was scary, very scary!!!!

Re: I start my new job tomorrow...
I forgot to say--I love your title!
How goes the new job so far? I guess it's hard to say before school starts. It will probably be hard initially--if you're new, kids test you, but you'll do well.

Social worker is heavy stuff too! I did that job before and its incredibly hard- my heart goes out to you.
Being the dean is awesome- I love the responsiblity to make decisions- we have a pretty strict dress code in our district now and I was sick of seeing boobs hanging out everywhere so I decided no more spaghetti straps- My principal is like, sure, you are in charge of that. I really love it and I am at an incredible school so its extra special.
Good luck with your job- It is such an important one!

Re: I start my new job tomorrow...
thank you so much for your vote of confidence - it can be scary/overwhelming being a social worker - i feel very intimidated by the principal and APS, just trying to do my job and help the kids but it is hard.......tough stuff i see. it definitely puts things in perspective!!!
thanks again for the vote of confidence
