New Adventures for Alisa

Hello faithful readers;

Thanks to all of you who have inquired on how my summer is going - swell, thanks!

As most of you know, recently Principal Tutoring and Consulting Services, the company I founded five years ago, has joined forces with another quality service provider, forming a new company called 'A Road 2 Learning.'

As excited as I am about the future of the new company, I received an offer today that I just can't refuse....

Omega Alpha Academy (www.oaadouglas.org) has offered me a position as their K-5 principal, and I've accepted, starting immediately (so much work to do, so little time). Not only is this position one that I enjoy, it is an opportunity for me to return to the schools, and have direct contact with students, teachers, and parents - something I've missed very much as Principal Tutoring grew to a size where that type of connection wasn't possible.

Omega Alpha is a Performing Plus (AZ LEARNS) school, who has also met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP, in accordance to federal guidelines). This is a substantial achievement considering that 65% of its students are English Language Learners! The leadership of the school is focused on students - every decision and every action should ask...."Is this what's best for the students."

As you can tell, I'm SO excited about this opportunity, and feel like I'm 'coming home!'

Now don't you worry, my loyal readers - I will still maintain this blog, my private consulting services, the radio program and other activities that allow me to work even more closely with parents and educators. Your support has been amazing, and I appreciate your commitment to children and their education.

I will keep you posted on my new position, and continue to provide up to date and pertinent information that, I hope, will help enhance your life with children. In the meantime, let me know how you're doing, and let me know what topics you would like to see us discuss on this blog and on the radio.

Take care, and thanks for reading!
