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.
Hey Marci-
ReplyDeleteEducation is all about change and as administrators, we need to be willing to adjust our visions as needed. PLC's are so important and I am sure each school site can agree that there are some sections of campus that are succeeding in implimenting them and some that need guidance.
Hi Marci!
ReplyDeleteI am almost as happy as you are to be able to see the finnish line of our Cohort program. Like you this paper gave me a very good insight on what every administrator and teacher should be working towards. Overall, I found this paper useful as it made me think.
Hang in there... We just have a little bit more to go!
Congratulations on completing these assignments! You're absolutely right about this being a very exciting time in education. Your experience will indeed help you to help students, teachers, parents, and colleagues. Best of luck to you.
