Andrew King's Presentation
I had many lightbulb moments during Andrew's presentation. Also, some moments of feeling validation: I've completed mahi in rural schools that doesn't mesh neatly with our job description, and it's a relief to know that I'm not the only one.
Having said that, perhaps this is an opportunity to improve our practice and schools' satisfaction.
Our local Principals' Association breakfasts are filled with rural tumuaki. Perhaps a visit from an RTLB representative with a focus on discussing some of the issues raised by Andrew would be fruitful. It would also be an opportunity for us to remind them about 'boundaries'. There's no point reducing principals' overwhelm, only to become overwhelmed ourselves.
