CEDO565 Week 6
My definition of leadership has not been changed, but..... it has reinforced my thoughts and what the expectations should be. I guess this class helped me realize that I could step up more as a leader and take on more roles. I don’t think everyone has the potential to be a great leader, but we all have some type of leadership skills. Each one of us can stand out in one area, or another. We need to find our strengths and run with it. Show people what you do best and help them. Working together is the key! Without communication there most likely wont be any success. So, I agree with the book that improving education starts within. It does……….if an institution can’t work as a group/unit….then who will make it work. An individual?? No! We need to communicate within and then move out to the community, parents, and other institutions around the school. You can’t stand without a solid base!!

Christy,
ReplyDeleteExactly! This class made me re-evaluate if I was part of the problem or part of the solution. There is no other choice.
In the low morale environment, we, teachers are in right now it is tough to be positive. But it can always be worse.
Hi Christy,
ReplyDeleteI completely agree that each person brings a different set of strenghs to any leadership role. Our principal actually made the team leaders in my building take StrengthFinders to find each of our top three strengths. It was interesting to see any differences or similarities we all bring as leaders. I would highly recommend it to any group! Enjoy your last class!
