You've got a lot of ideas percolating right now, and seems like a sabbatical would be valuable in the next year or two as you position yourself for this next phase of your career.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000470374101306070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615167884712379815.post-76830081878782372022009-04-11T20:29:00.000-04:002009-04-11T20:29:00.000-04:00My department basically consists of one other pers...My department basically consists of one other person who will be up for sabbatical the year after I am. We'll have to write letters of support for each other. And there are sabbatical replacements when it comes to teaching, and we are told that issues about teaching and administrative will not be considered when it comes to sabbatical applications. I wonder if that's true! :)Nels P.

My second sabbatical, I took six months just so we wouldn't take the economic hit (we were SITKA at that point -- single income, two kids & all!).<BR/><BR/>Next time around I'm still not sure what I'll do -- what I do know is when I take my sabbatical is a subject of deep concern for my department as we juggle teaching responsibilities in an age of no sabbatical replacements. So make sure that your department's on board after you've figured out your plan with Da Man and plan to enjoy a fruitful sabbatical.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093558563358431804noreply@blogger.com
