I agree with several of the other commentators. As a coordinator, juggling multiple roles simultaneously is standard practice (at some schools), but the ability to articulate a program's vision while collaborating effectively with students, teachers, employers, counselors, businesses, and admin is essential.
I also believe it is important to approach this work with grace, confidence, and enthusiasm, especially when it comes to being flexible. I learned both from this course and from experience that programs rarely run on a linear path and so it is important to have the agility to pivot when things need to be adjusted or improved. It is important to keep working hard to create better opportunities for students that are based on quality, not quantity. I want to make sure the work is meaningful and impactful rather than just checking boxes so that we transform challenges and setbacks into a sustainable, responsive program.
