Colleagues,
 
MVP: We all need a support network. Here’s a checklist to help you get the most of yours.
 
Today, we launch the recruiting campaign for our upcoming mentoring program exclusively for first- and second-year assistant principals.
 
Mentoring programs are a unique form of the support network.
 
There are four components to a good support network:

• Leader
• Community
• Advocate
• Mentor

 
To help you develop an effective support network, Mara and I have created a simple checklist to walk you through critical considerations for building your network.
 
With the checklist, you’ll also get a series of five emails, each with more information about the different roles. 
 
Anyone interested in the checklist can go to https://www.frederickbuskey.com/ where you’ll be greeted by a well-intentioned pop-up window. A couple clicks and the tool will be delivered to your inbox. 
 
If you are a new, or nearly new, assistant principal, you can find out more about our mentoring program at https://www.frederickbuskey.com/mentoring.html.
 
I hope you find the simple checklist helpful.
 
Today’s intention: Think about the most challenging issues you may be facing this year. Identify some people who are outside of your organization whose expertise you will be able to tap into. Think about how you make sure that you do reach out to those people when you need them.
 
Cheers!

Frederick
