Getting Ready for the Next Phase

This is my twentieth year as a faculty member and my fifteenth year as a department chair.  This summer I emptied my office and redecorated because it is time for a new beginning.  I have always loved this job, but I don't want to let it become a mindless habit.  I enjoy thinking about how I approach my job, my students, my faculty, and my administration.

So, to help make sure that I don't lose that focus, the goal of this blog is to help me remember to pay attention to the details even though I have done them for so long.  Perhaps there is still a better way for me to present material, design assignments, grade exams, assess my classes, revise the curriculum, negotiate for budgets and staff, etc.
