How To Pursue A Position As An Assistant Principal

I would ask for the support of my teachers, to help me connect with the students. Make them feel as part of the community and have them take a little responsibility for their actions. If something goes wrong in class or the school setting, for the individual to take a minute to process and let them realize what it was they did wrong, and how they can fix it. I would try and build an establishment for my students to have a very genuine relationship with me, even if I don’t ever get to meet one on one with them. I would like for them to feel welcome and comfortable to talk to me. Everyone deserves someone who accepts them as they are. I want to be that person in my school setting. It is very important to reach out to all the students you. I currently work at my old middle school, so picturing me as a future counselor for that school hits a very personal note. Students in my school come from broken homes, the live with relatives because their parents are from Mexico. Coming to school and having someone present you eye contact, compassion, understanding, and genuine respect means a lot. I want to be that person for my students, as a teacher and future

Based on my experience in the classroom and my educational background, I want to pursue a certification as a K-12 administrator because I want to help and work with a larger population of students. My desire to enhance the culture and community in a school building has come from working with three amazing, passionate, and dedicated administrators (one principal and two vice principals) in my school building. Their drive to positively influence the lives of students, collaborate with parents, and enhance the teaching styles of all the faculty members in the building, has motivated me to want to do the same. A new challenge is presented every day in a school building, and I want to be part of an administrative team that will successfully work together to overcome each and every obstacle in order to better the educational experience of students.

I also must check the pupils work, if necessary help them to catch up, encourage them to correct their own mistakes and provide them with support to learn independently. In order to do that I must develop a positive working relationship with the pupils. That can be achieved by listening to them, gaining their trust and confidence, always respecting and valuing them, knowing that children must be safe at all times.

A part of my job as administrator is to work with students on keeping ethical standards throughout their lives. I work with others at my school to instill character building skills. We have a character word for the month that is posted in every classroom and other parts of the school. Part of my job as an administrator will be to work with teachers and how they relate to the students. During my Successful School Observation I was able to pick up on the teachers’ attitudes about teaching with the way they spoke to the students and about the students. Most of the teachers were working really well with the students. There were two or three who, if I was their administrator, would be placed on probation or written up because of the way they talk to the students. Belittling students is a big NO! NO! All students deserve to be treated with respect even on our worst days as

When acting as a role model in class it is imperative that as a teaching assistant that you adhere to and promote the schools policies in regard to pupil behaviour. In being an effective role model it is essential that you promote positive pupil behaviour, which is in line with the school policies by using praise and encouragement, whilst encouraging pupils to take responsibility for

As an adult working within a school environment you have a duty to the young children you are looking after to be vigilant in understanding their patterns of behaviour. Always be approachable and understanding to any concern a child may have no matter how big or small. Safeguarding

The class teacher has many roles and responsibilities. These include planning and preparation of the learning activity, taking into account different styles of learning for the children and to teach the curriculum to the children in a way they can all understand. The class teacher also has a responsibility to make sure each child is safe, and that any disruption from other children is dealt with appropriately. Another responsibility is to feedback on each child’s progress, and if there have been any major problems or continuous behaviour difficulties, to report back to the head teacher. If there has been any injury or other major problem e.g. behaviour with a child in the class or lack of attendance, the class teacher has to communicate this with the parents or carer. The class teacher also has to socialise well with the children and act as an effective role model to them.

The benefit of becoming a school administrator will allow me to touch the lives of many students to help them achieve their life’s goals. I will be responsible in motivating staff and holding them accountable while implementing school-improvement strategies such as using data to identify and plan for needed changes in the instructional programs, which is equally important in meeting the goal. I will have involvement in setting educational standards, goals, establishing policies and procedures to enforce discipline, evaluate curricula, teaching methods, and to comply

First, I bring a unique set of skills to the position that will aid the transition of the CPO Academy to fulfill the MCPOCG's vision.

1) Through my experiences of teaching, I have discovered and developed many teaching strengths. A couple of my strengths include classroom management, and planning. At the beginning of my teaching internship, I had a problem with the classroom management. In addition, my first evaluation showed my lack in classroom management. My principal suggested me that it is very important to keep students engaged, on task, and following directions. On that day I decided that I have to overcome this obstacle by converting it into my strength. I consulted my supervisor,

The principal should be the keeper of the schools good will and represent the school vision, so that the staff believes they are all in this together. The

The biggest challenge or rather the biggest responsibility that I foresee as an RA is dealing with conduct issues. The position of an RA is unique, because when students encounter disciplinary issues, there is a component of making sure that the students do face the consequences of their actions, but also actively making it a learning experience. Everyone makes mistakes at some point in their life, and the job of the RA is to not push those people down nor disregard their mistake, but help them to get back on track. The biggest challenge I foresee is figuring out how to help these kids get back on track, since each student is unique and there really is no universal method. What will help overcome this challenge, and what I will do since I want

If the competencies in one level of the organization are completely different from the level below, it will be difficult for one to perform well in the new position (Burkus, n.d). The three responsibilities that I would need training on are 1). Proposes schedules of classes and extracurricular activities, 2). Requisitions supplies, textbooks, equipment, conducts inventories, maintains records, and checks on receipts for such materials, and 3). The budget.
