Hi friends...

I was just asked to be the LA Department Head for my middle school, 6th, 7th, and 8th (13 teachers total).

I am extremely excited, but was wondering if anyone had any advice on what to do, what not to do, or just any ideas/hints on how to run a successful department.

Any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated!

I'm trying to figure out...See More
