A New Chapter

“One stage of your journey is over, another begins.”
     - Gandalf, in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

Who knew that a quote from one of my favorite movie trilogies would become applicable in my life? Well, it has, as next school year I will be leaving the classroom after 15 years of teaching to become an assistant principal at Shivela Middle School in my district. While I will greatly miss the staff, students, and parents of Tovashal, I'm absolutely ecstatic about the opportunity to support teachers as they support their students.

Some of you may be wondering what will happen to mrcoley.com, my classroom website. The resources on my site will remain online for teachers and students to access, but the site will no longer be updated as I shift my focus to my new position. I will continue to blog, however. :-)

This is not the end. I hope you’ll continue to follow me as my journey leads me to new and exciting places (like middle school).
