While reading a post about sharing information with your principal, I was
reminded of a workshop by Gary Hartsell during Tennessee's Association of
School Librarian's conference last year. One of the questions to consider
from a long list was whether your principal is a morning, afternoon, or
evening person. I mentioned this in passing to him after the conference and
found out he was absolutely a morning person. This gave me the chance to
change my approach with him as I am absolutely NOT a morning person. Now I
do my creative stuff in the afternoon and leave it on his desk to read in the
morning when he is fresh. No longer do I run in with all my "great ideas"
when he is tired, drained, overwhelmed and shutting down. This helped him,
also. If he meets me at the door with coffee, I know right away his creative
juices are flowing and attempt to smile in the early morning!
