Hi all, if you remember me it has been awhile. I am reading the updates from others and excited to hear some good news from others.
I am still in the before and after school care and enrichment field. I had a great summer camp that was eco-focused and I even got survey data from. The huge stress is that I need to now run increased programming on lesser budgets (last year we had no budget due to district issues in the financial department, we apparently overspent). I am adjusting from being managed in a way where I had no choices in many areas like the lesson plan format and now I can and have to take authority to make a financially sustainable program in creative ways. Outside the box is something I have always thought I was good at, but I am feeling very challenged so far when I realize this needs to be financially successful. I have not had good luck with my great ideas actually working out. One of my greatest adult education classes was a total bust but worked at another school.
On a side note I took the professional training course to be a mediator back in May. My goal is to do educational mediation in some form, as part of a job preferably since independent mediators are almost never full time. Or I could do this as side work with a lot of building up a business. Next month however I get to go to training so that I can volunteer as a mediator in a local county and get the hours I need to develop skills. I joke that one of my skills is not making things worse, basically getting in conflicts and not making it worse. Mediation can really use that skill.
How are you all?
