Educational Leadership Analysis

The key themes that run through the In TASC standards aim at improving learning and include;

The Ohio Standards for the Teaching Profession are seven standards to provide an effective learning environment for the teachers and the students. To be an effective educator it is important that each educator is aware of the standards that they should know.

Taking a look at standard 1, a leader has to focus on creating visions and goals for students to be successful. One of the challenges I see is that a vision and goal is very important and having to create a vision and goal that can be attained by every student isn’t as easy as

The second aim of this step is to inform the school community about the broad policy development process and to provide an

ELCC 5.1. Part of my vision as an administrator is linked to standard 5.1. I must act with integrity and fairness to ensure a school system of accountability for every student’s academic and social success. I used data collected from 2014 fifth grade literacy scores to compare achievement between black and white students in our school. There were more white students that scored proficient and advanced than black students. There was a gap but now a major gap. As an administrator I will provide each student with an equal opportunity to participate in the learning process. I vow to work with administrators, teachers, staff, and

The plan outlines five goals that we have found for our school district. These goals show our commitment to provide the highest possible standards of education for all students in our district and to ensure the fair and equitable treatment of all members of our community. We consider understanding individual differences in each student and teacher so that we can adopt the appropriate programs of study for them of the utmost importance.

Creating a good communication relationship between the students, parents, and school. The teachers must create ways to communicate with their students’ parents. Keeping communication lines open to all parties involved will allow students to get a better education. The activity I completed for this standard was writing a letter for the parents of special needs students. This letter was to ensure the parents that their students were being taken care of at the school. I went over the letter with the kids and shared with them it had ways for their parents to encourage

In order for me to demonstrate understanding of this standard, I must consider the impact of the family and community on student learning, contribute to the overall development and improvement of the school, and work with other educators to share knowledge and improve practice. My artifact contributes to school initiatives, projects, and organizations teaching me how to teach and reach my ESL students through different strategies. The ESO training was beneficial for me to gain a deeper understanding of how important communication is when teaching others. I learned it is important to my lessons to include group work instead of individual work (and vice versa), evaluate students' performance on a test to decide whether to reteach the concept or move on to a new one. It is very important to collaborate with other teachers sharing fresh ideas and exchanging a variety of strategies to help relief the stress of math problems. The ESO training used everyday problems to solve math problems. Because we use math in our everyday life it is essential for me to keep my parents informed through emails and phone

Today, many states and schools systems are adopting a standards based education system. In fact, according to Common Core Standards Initiative (2014), forty-three states, the District of Columbia, four territories, and the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) have adopted the Common Core State Standards. The premise is that if all critical subject areas follow a standard from state to state, that all students will receive the same and fair education. The Vermont State Board of Education saw a need and a value in implementing such a system. As such, the Board created a strategic plan to implement a framework of standards that would eventually adopt the common core standards. This paper will discuss the strategic plan created by the Vermont Board of Education and evaluate whether or not the goals of the plan were met through the Framework of Standards.

Criterion 4.1: The curriculum incorporates established professional standards, guidelines, and competencies, and has clearly articulated student learning outcomes and program outcomes consistent with contemporary practice.

The purpose of the ISLLC 2008 Standards are to make sure effective leadership is practiced in a changing educational society. These standards should be used as models to effectively run an organization smoothly. These standards impact the educational community because it is allowed a voice. Stakeholders, members of the community, and parents are able to connect and collaborate with school leaders in order to achieve the vision and reach goals.

The standards addressed for Goal 7 include 7.3, 7.6, and 7.8. Standard 7.3 demonstrates the use of e-mail and other online tools for the reason of communicating and managing information. Standard 7.6 establishes rapport with students while teaching lesson plans. Standard 7.8 involves working collaboratively with others in completing tasks.

“Common Core State Standards Initiative” is a result of the “Standards and Accountability Movement” which began in the 1990s in the United States. This particular branch of education reforms was geared towards expectations of learning at each grade level. The Standards and Accountability Movement not only brought attention on what students were expected to learn, but on teachers as well – focusing on how teachers were to implement lessons and able to teach for student achievement which would be measured in

I always thought I would be a teacher and I would make differences in lives and it would be the greatest experience in the world for me, yet being a teacher wasn’t enough, I had a need to expand my education. I decided that perhaps I needed a new career, however, I felt certain education remained my passion. I began to explore new areas of education and I realized I still want to be a member of a classroom, a school and curriculum. I aspire to guide those leading our classrooms.
