Wednesday

I drove down to Dover this past Wednesday to attend the first state-wide meeting of the Aspiring Leader Development Program. My school district selected me to participate in this program and I’m super excited about the opportunities that have been outlined for the next year. This program is sponsored by the Delaware Academy for School Leadership (DASL) and our first meeting was held at the Dover Downs Hotel. This meeting provided a general overview to the program, gave us some materials to work with, and gave us a chance to network with other aspiring leaders across the state. I will definitely be talking more about this program as the year progresses.

Thursday

It was back to Dover (again) for me on Thursday as I went to the American Council on Education (ACE) Office of Women in Higher Education (OWHE)’s Annual Fall Dinner and Awards Ceremony at Wilmington University’s Dover campus with my Mom. I joined this group about two years ago (coincidentally right before I actually worked in Higher Ed – I started teaching as an adjunct professor at a college shortly after that), and have really enjoyed their events. This dinner was particularly interesting as the speaker was Dr. Lillian M. Lowery, Delaware’s Secretary of Education.

Saturday – Halloween!

Souffled Pumpkin Pancake courtesy of Food Network – it was easy AND tasty.

An impromptu photo shoot with Jasper and a Halloween prop. He was more interested in eating it than posing with it though.

My annual Pumpkin Roll. The only time I can get Peter to eat sprinkles. He tends to still brush a lot off before eating.

Here’s to another great week – Happy November!
