Leadership Resources (2) ,[object Object],A good leader must possess the ability to articulate the goals and objectives for the school. A leader should also identifying reasons for why the goals are important and attainable. A good leader will also allow room for growth and provide opportunities for the goals to develop over time. In the beginning of every school year our leadership team puts together a presentation or shows a movie that demonstrates team work and collaboration. This is a time when the school can rally together around a central mission statement and focus on the goals for our school Overview Personal Experience

Leadership Resources (3) ,[object Object],Knowing your staffs strengths and weaknesses will allow a good leader to delegate responsibility to the appropriate people. A good leader inspires team members through positive motivation and increases the opportunities for staff members to take responsibility for projects. In a curriculum meeting, my principal had asked us what we thought about putting on a show at the end of a marking period. Initially people were hesitate. It was only through her inspiring words and thoughtful comments on our practice, that collectively we agreed to organize this effort. Overview Personal Experience

Leadership Resources (4) ,[object Object],Being able to communicate well with your colleagues is probably one of the most important aspects of being a good leader. Encouraging collaboration among different grade levels and allowing time for teachers to share ideas and thoughts should be a priority for an educational leader. We have engaged in a new collaborative effort among specials teachers and classroom teachers. This system allows the classroom teacher to fill out a form with info on what the class is learning. This communication has proven to be extremely beneficial for student achievement and encourages teamwork. Overview Personal Experience

This will allow for teachers to be at the top of their game and illustrates the importance of continuous learning process for teachers. Throughout the year we have at least 6 opportunities for staff development in the form of on-site workshops. The most inspiring staff development workshop for me was on how to infuse technology and literacy into visual art. Overview Personal Experience

Leadership Resources (6) ,[object Object],The local community can have an extremely powerful influence on student achievement. Utilizing parents, community leaders, and local volunteer organizations should be a major priority for any educational leader. Every year our School Leadership Council organizes 1-2 community events per month. The last events in our school were the Clothing Drive and Thanksgiving Day Basket Raffle. These events have bridged the community with the school creating a school environment conducive for learning. Overview Personal Experience
