1. How do you know Roscoe? I am Roscoes’ direct manager in my role as Dean of Academics. I began my work with Roscoe July 18, 2016. I have coached, observed, led professional development & content team meetings to build his instructional knowledge and skills with a strong focus on English Language Arts. Also, I have managed his performance as an evaluator. 2. What are his greatest strengths? His greatest strength would be his professionalism. Specifically, he has a respectful attitude towards all students, families, colleagues and school leaders. Also, he is highly engaged during staff meeting and participates often. Also, he is open to feedback. During content meetings and coaching conversations he reflects upon and responds to feedback with openness. Moreover, he quickly implements instructional feedback from content leaders. Also, one of his emerging strengths is his ability to use data to re-teach lessons with a brief error analysis and provide immediate feedback to students. In regards to classroom management, he has improved his ability to maximize instructional time by creating stronger procedures …show more content…

Though I named openness to feedback as a key strength, it is somewhat situational. He is very open to feedback when I provided specific directions or made the decisions or shifts for him. However, when coaching conversations positioned him as the key driver, he would deflect by identifying students as barriers based on their learning or behavior profile. Also, he highly prefers leaders to model by teaching his class. I truly believe in modeling lessons to support teachers; however, I find it to be ineffective if teachers are unable to transfer what they’ve observed to their daily execution of lessons. To be specific, our math specialist would model specific parts of lesson to support him with using various strategies/making instructional decisions in the moment; unfortunately, we would not see a transfer of takeaways to future

  • Positive Psychology and The Curren Education System

    Positive psychology refers to strengths as positive qualities we each have as individuals. There are a few base principles to remember when working on strengths. It is important to value and develop individual talents, maintain healthy relationships, reflect on successes, practice, and teach others. It is important to focus on strengths and manage weaknesses. Our schools of today need to find ways to promote students into using their individual strengths. In classrooms individual talents should be valued and developed. For instance, one student in a class may be very strategic who is able to see patterns and issues within a project. This same class may also have someone analytical who likes to search for reasons as causes. A teacher who was taught to look for and recognize these strengths could draw on the strategic thinker to share with the class the patterns and issues they see ...

  • Leadership Self-Analysis

    For me to be an effective leader, I must first evaluate my strengths. I took the Gallup 2.0 Strength Finder report which showed my strengths in an insight and action planning guide. The results indicated the top five themes for me were input, learner, responsibility, maximizer and arranger. I believe the evaluation offered an accurate assessment of my strengths. The input theme states my mind is like a sponge, soaking up information. As a lifelong learner, the second theme is also, correct. I have a quest for knowledge about things that interest me. I am responsible, in my job and life. As a maximizer, I focus on long term goals and strive toward excellence. As a nurse, working in an environment of change, the arranger strength in my personality allows me to adapt easily and figure out the best way to accomplish tasks (Strengths, 2012).

    Williams. I was thrilled when I came to work here to find that Mrs. Williams is the type of respected but approachable leader that is my preferred leadership style.

Like Mrs. Williams, I feel that building relationships and a culture of respect and trust is key to being an effective leader. As a teacher, I spend a good amount of time at the beginning of each year building a rapport with students and families which helps me connect with the students.
