Recommended: Importance of education leadership

The Assistant Principal not following through on her duties based on personal feelings. This was shocking because I believe that even if you disagree with an action if your job states to follow the caution through that is what should be done. You do not always get to do what you like sometimes it just what you have to do. The AP not attending the IEP meeting was a bad call of professional and ethical judgment. Just because you feel a situation is concluded does not mean that you bend protocol to not deal with the repercussions on the decision. Not being in attendance of the meeting allowed a child that did not need special education services to utilize them to achieve his/her own agenda. The other repercussion to the AP action was that

  • Case 14 A One-Trick Principal Summary

    Identify communication problems that have contributed to the conflict between Principal Varber and Associate Principal Howard. I found several communication issues between Principal Varber and Associate Principal Howard. First, Principal Varber spent a substantial amount of time away from campus. Although, in the beginning it was clear that the reason for his employment was to improve the relationship between the community and the school. Secondly, his failure to acknowledge his staff for their outstanding job performance when he receives community recognition about the school. It seems like he only wanted recognition for himself and not when others did well. Associate Principal Howard brought to his attention that he did not recognize his staff for their contributions for him receiving the outstanding educator award from the Chamber of Commerce. Lastly, his relationship with the administration team and staff could have been better. Mrs. Howard informed Principal Varber that the staff considered him as a “phantom” principal because of his absence. She also pointed out that he never took the opportunity to have a “real” conversation with his staff, which hindered relationships and growth of the

    Just as restorative justice requires a paradigm shift for those in the legal field and the concept of paradox management requires a paradigm shift for businesses, using third party neutrals will require school administrators to think about conflict management differently. While the text emphasized the complex nature of school administrators' responsibilities (Gorton & Alston, 2012, pp. 3-4) and the surety of change in education (p. 188). It also discussed the factors which inhibit change (pp. 196-197, pp. 197-197. 200-201). The.

  • Assignment 1: Professional Standards For Educational Leaders

    It sets the wrong example for everyone and is not a characteristic of an exemplary leader. According to standard ten of the Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (2015), a school leader should continuously seek the improvement of every aspect of schools. The superintendent should be addressing any misconceptions that are brought to the superintendents’ cabinets. The weekly meetings that were being held should be to discover methods and strategies to improve student success and develop professional and knowledgeable employees. Instead, this superintendent seems to protect others from being held accountable for what they say and do. According to standard two, school leaders should promote effective communication, set professional norms, promote integrity, fairness, transparency, trust, collaboration, perseverance, learning, continuous improvement, and professional behavior. This superintendent does not conduct himself as an example for others to follow and does not uphold professionalism while conducting meetings with the assistant superintendent; therefore, one must wonder what other business affairs have been conducted in an unprofessional manner and to what

  • Principal Miller Case Study

    1523 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the case study with Principal Miller, he had to make a decision to change the instruction program or to keep it. There was a group of parents that wanted students grouped by their ability. The other group of parents wanted the instruction to stay the same. Principal Miller was new to the school and had very little knowledge of the school. This leaves some critical issues that Principal Miller has to think about while he made his choice. He needed to make sure that the children were getting the best education that he can provide as the leader in the school. He also needs to think about the other educators in the building and how they would feel about the grouping. If Mr. Miller changes any instruction it needs to be understood by all of the teachers and staff in the building. Mr. Miller should consider all of the parents, keep an open dialogue with them, and report data for and against the change and finally make the decision.

  • Scenario In The Workplace Scenario

    As an administrator the first thing I would have done was ensure I did not have a husband/wife team. I have worked in districts where immediate family was not allowed to work on the same campus. Barring that, a faculty meeting should have been called to address the issue. Obviously, this involved many problems of confidentiality, but had the incident been addressed, instead of being ignored, some of the rumor would have been shut down. In addition, the students and teachers involved in the schedule changes needed to be addressed. During this conflict the advanced placement students were told they were moving to the new teachers’ class before the teacher was even told, preventing her from being able to lessen the stress for the students during the transition. Empathy for all parties concerned would have benefited all portions of the

    In Woodlock v. Orange, the school counselor, known as N.W., was advocating for systemic change on behalf of her special education students. This was well within the code of ethics. N.W. was repeatedly expressing her concerns to the administrative intern and principal. Her primary concern was a lack of certified gym and art instructors, which violated state special education mandates and the children’s IEPs. She raised other safety concerns to the administration with little to no response. She began to document all of her interactions with the administration, leading to a written reprimand issued to her by the principal. This reprimand stated that N.W. was “taking it upon yourself t...

    I completely agree with Mr. Clark’s decision making. He was not afraid or threatened with the people who did not agree with him even if it meant being unpopular with the students and his peers. He stood firm with what he believes is right and good for the school. As an administrator, we should adapt the same courage in decision making as Mr. Clark. Administrators have to make a lot of decisions, whether big or small. And in making decisions, there will always be resistance, not everyone will agree with you. But as an administrator, you should not let this affect you. If administrators become unconfident about their decisions, they will be undermined by the teachers and later on might lose their credibility amongst the students and his colleagues.
