make a list

Take a few minutes sometime between now and our chat at 7pm and list 12-15 things you value the most about your current position - anything from the work itself, to your colleagues, to your classroom space, etc. Be as broad in your thinking as possible, but also choose the most critically important factors.

1. location to my home
2. location within the campus
3. actual room is good size good light "good space"
4. freedom of pedagogy-I align practice to MLR's
5. great colleague to collab with
6. WLS -- love this course
7. one to one
8. tech tools like projectors and cameras
9. small school, community school
10. sports program is entertaining
11. arts program is entertaining
12. dr2010 was allowed to happen
13. grants grants grants
14. rsu means more resources to my department

Next, prioritize the "job satisfiers" into three groups

• Important- things that you value, but, if gone, wouldn't cause too much difficulty

1. sports program is entertaining
   
2. arts program is entertaining
3. rsu means more resources to my department
4. small school, community school
5. location within the campus
6. one to one

• Very Important- one step up the scale 

1. location to my home
2. actual room is good size good light "good space"
3. great colleague to collab with 
4. WLS -- love this course

• Critically Important- things without which the job would be terrible

1. freedom of pedagogy-I align practice to MLR's
2. tech tools like computers, projectors and cameras
3. dr2010 was allowed to happen
4. grants grants grants

Once you have grouped them write the critically important list inside a circle. Drawing a bulls-eye-like pattern, write the very important list in the circle outside the center and the important list in the outer most circle.
