The guest speakers for this course were very knowledeable and provided timely information for aspiring administrators. I appreciated that they were people who had a vast amount of experience in the educational field and are still currently working in the field. They also help give a perspective of the challenges that we will be facing in the future.
The timing of the classes was difficult. Every other class iover the course of this cohort was on Monday nights or Saturdays. Friday nights were very difficult for people working at the secondary level, especially in the fall.

Reflection of Capstone Paper and Professional Growth Plan
I just completed the Capstone paper and am feeling very relieved. This has been a tough semester trying to balance everything and do a good job as well.
Thinking and discussing the future made me re-evaluate my own professional goals. Where do I see my school in five years, and where do I see myself in that picture. I realized I'm ready to take the next step in educational leadership. I want to help teachers and staff as they conquer the new wave of demands that will come with the Common Core Standards. I believe my experience at all levels, elementary, intermediate and presently high school have prepared me to work with teachers in a leadership capacity.
Education is on a threshold of change, and I would like to a part of the leadership team to help guide us into the next phase of assessments and instructional practices. PLCs are still at the beginning stages and I believe I can help staffs or departments colloborate to focus on the achievement of ALL students. It is a challenging time in education, but very exciting.
