One of the challenges for administrators is getting away from paperwork and being stuck in the office. Yes, it is important to get the office work done and there are deadlines that must be met. When administrators get out of the office, it is usually for an observation, walk through, or to solve an issue. Out-of-the-office day is a dedicated day to stay out of the office and to visit classrooms, students, and staff for no reason but to visit. There is never a perfect day to do this, so just pick a day and go for it. It is important to notify your staff ahead of time that this is your official out-of-the-office day. Make sure they know you are around just to enjoy the school. No formal observation. No follow-up conversation. No responding to emails. Have the office secretary be aware to “hold down the fort.” If you are fortunate and have other administrators on staff, have them cover for you for the day. Once you get over the anxiety of being away from the office, you will find it to be one of the most rewarding days of the year.
