By providing a quality
environment within a school or school system, developmentally appropriate and
best practices will be commonplace for staff, ensuring strong, decisive action
on behalf of the administration while still maintaining focus on support and
resources for staff while achieving excellence pertaining to systematic
goals.
I believe excellence in education
starts with knowledge and willingness on the part of the student, teacher and
administrator.
I will
provide support to foster motivation for learning because all students have the ability to learn.
I will
ensure that all students are not viewed
as vessels to be filled with knowledge, rather I will establish that students are unique individuals who can
contribute intellectually or provide valuable insight to subject matter and
life circumstances.
I will not
allow students to be thwarted by a
false sense of “subject mastery” that requires regurgitation of information;
instead I will encourage critical thinking pertaining to the subject matter.
I will
demonstrate and inspire teachers to
create classroom communities where intentional problem solving is valued.
I will
implore teachers to constantly update
their own learning and professional development.
I will seek
out teachers who communicate clearly
and with good intentions with all staff and administration in order to enhance
the atmosphere of the school.
I must
nurture ambitions and provide a quality learning environment.
I will be
successful by striving to appreciate and embrace diversity.
I will make
informed decisions where everyone’s voice is acknowledged.
I will seek
to have positive daily interactions with staff and students to establish a
community of learning that values respect and collaboration.
