Effective School Leaders

The school uses a couple different ways of receiving input from the stakeholders of the school. The school will communicate with the PTO during meetings. The PTO will communicate with the school the ideas of how the school needs to move forward and give ideas of how to accomplish these ideas. The school will also meet with the Student Government Association in order to determine some of the key requirements that the students feel are important to maintaining the success of the school. The school has also developed the School Development Program, which reviews the data of the community and the home life of students that are participating in the Free and Reduced Meals Program. The data the SDP pulls will help in improving the life and health of the students and families that are a part of the F.A.R.M.’s program. The school will also host a golf tournament where the school brings members of the school community together to play golf and then have a lunch-in and talk about the future and path of the school. The school wants to hear the key requirements of the different stakeholder groups, and find ways to put these requirements into place.

W. Edwars Deming, American engineer and management consultant, wrote “a bad system will beat a good person every time.” This quote demonstrates the necessity for a school administrator to establish a school culture that is inviting and characterized by collaboration. In order to intentionally create a welcoming and collaborative school climate, clear, frequent, and inclusive communication is fundamental. Families, staff, and community members should be afforded the opportunity to become involved in enhancing student learning, the decision making processes of the school, and meaningful school-based activities. Opening the lines of communication about possible involvement at a school promotes a good system, in which good people can thrive.

However, whenever other extracurricular activities have an event or contest they do not promote the school spirit as much as they do with sports.

When teachers want parental involvement, they have the capability of sending progress report via e-mail. Additionally, twice yearly there were “Touch Base”.

When reflecting on the information given to me by my principal I found it very informative because if we do not inform the community on different events, activities, and other school business ventures, then our school will lack positive community involvement. For instance my principal gave me great insight into different steps he takes to inform our local community of different events that are taking place within our community. For example, he made it clear it’s very important for all teachers and staff to help inform our community over different events and successes through either the local or school newspaper along with our local radio stations. These are just some of his ways of helping inform our community. I think he made a great point when he mentioned with the lack of community knowledge, simply people will be uninformed of activities taking place within our school, which is very vital for our schools success.

In the Drumbeat newspaper, any announcements, information regarding current events, and activities of what has happened throughout the week are shared and displayed in this newspaper.

This newspaper serves as weekly paper which goes out to all the community. Another channel our campus communicates through is a church representative. This representative works for the administration office and is also very active in the Catholic Church so often times both are combined together in some school-community functions. In case there needs to be a message to be sent out to the public this representative would be the one to do so. On occasions the catholic church

The School Advisory Council (SAC) program is a great way for emerging leaders to cultivate relationships with stakeholders. The SAC program is a team of people representing all aspects of the school and the community that surrounds it.

Effective leaders are all around us. Effective leaders lead by example, walk the walk and talk the talk, and are able to provide their team with the tools they need to be effective and successful. They support their team in making decisions, but not make the decisions for them. Leaders can also provide feedback and coaching when necessary. Most leaders rely on their team around them to reach the goals they set out, both for the leader and for the team. Working with great leaders is a dream come true for most people.
