I Should Work On Improve Future Interactions

An evaluation of my own ability to use a range of leadership styles, in different situations and with different types of people, to fulfil the leadership role.

Overall, I have been very impressed with how this course is going so far. I appreciate having a short presentation on the topic each week then having the opportunity to discuss the topic with other group members. I have learned a lot from the readings as well as from other group members. By having everyone share their ideas and thoughts, I feel that I have gotten more out of this course than I had expected. With everyone coming from different educational backgrounds and experiences, it has been interesting to be exposed to different ideas and perceptions on some of these topics. In addition, having group members question and challenge my ideas have promoted me to think more in-depth and explore more closely about the topics. As of right now, there seems to be no issues with my group. Everyone participates in weekly discussions as well as writing the summary. Ideas and opinions are shared in a respectful manner

I have always known I love change, but from this class, I learned change is the hallmark of a leader. As John C. Maxwell says in The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, “Growth = Change.”The leadership assessments allowed me to understand myself in a new way. Because I am a curious green thinker, I need explanations and answers to understand my world. I tend to see the big picture of a project and my mind motivates me toward something new or improved. I am curious about new opportunities because I easily become bored with routine. Learning I have these characteristics has increased my confidence to pursue future leadership roles in a small to a mid-sized position.

The inspiration for this text came as a result of the feedback I received from Writing Assignment #1 from my colleagues/peers.

Participating- I introduced myself to all the classes, gave some information about myself, and answered any questions that the students had.

Write a brief reflection on the activity (no more than 3 pages). What did you learn about yourself and others? What implications might this have on your own classroom practice?

6) How would you apply the lessons learned in this project for future initiatives in the

It awesome to know benefitted you in multiple ways. When you talked about technology in assessments, you brought up ways the clients could be helping each other. In the beginning of the course, I was hesitant to summarize the client’s information from an assessment. Towards the end of the class, I became addicted to summarizing and researching the clients symptoms and recommendations.

For the fourth, and final, role play of EDPS 315, I listened to Jessica. Her story was a continuation of the previous role play. She was having issues meeting with her future roommates to get acquainted, but now she is having issues with housing. They all waited so long to sign the lease, their apartment company no longer has a large enough space for all of them. Her story this time was more focused on her frustrations and issues with now being forced to regroup and change her plan again. This was the fourth role play that I completed for this course and I do feel that I have made some improvements. Even with all the previous role plays I have completed, I do not feel that it was the best I could have done. I still see room for improvement in the questions I ask and my usage of other skills we have learned over the course of this semester.

Individually or with team members, please respond to the following questions by reflecting upon the learnings from the video and the readings.

When first meeting my group of freshman, along with my other two fellow leaders who were to be my partners, we introduced ourselves and greeted them. We toured them around the school showing them where each class was located and where their lockers would be found. We looked at some of their schedules and specifically went to those classes. I voiced out, how important grades are and that the

I have learned a lot from the service learning project, I think that I can be used in my classes in the future. I have learned a lot about looking at individual’s strengths and adapting the process to fit their needs instead of hoping that the individual will change. I think that I could still improve upon this for the future, because it can be such a complicated task to do. From watching how upfront Melissa was about her expectations for the project, I learned how I need to be in future group projects if I were going to be the leader. To become a high performing team, I need to say my own expectations from the start.

This approach seems very practical in everyday situations. I find myself thinking about what I would do in a specific situation or finding answers to problems based on the circumstances of a specific situation. I found this questionnaire to be more of a quiz on the understanding of leadership styles and development levels needed, rather than a clear indicator of my participative strengths. I did; however, find that I can delegate, support, coach, or direct, depending on the specific situation. Practicing situational leadership in this questionnaire did help me think through what actions I need to take to foster success in specific situations. For instance, I related to situation 4 as I coach another teacher who I work with on a daily basis. Joe, a second year teacher, has the knowledge and the ability to teach well, but sometimes he just needs some words of encouragement to push him forward. I have watched him as a leader in his classroom and among other teachers, which lead me to recommend him for our school’s Leadership Team. He was honored to have been selected, but worried about how he

During week one of the course, I completed a project that allowed me to identify my strongest and weakest leadership traits. The project required input from six individuals with whom I have a professional relationship. They rated me in different areas based on a scale, to determine the results. I also rated myself, and when I compiled the data I was able to identify the areas of leadership that I am strongest and weakest. The results are:

Feedback is a key part of a Leadership Development Plan (LDP). It is designed to improve the performance and share information during this process. Feedback is essential and should be clear about its purpose and intent. It is important to address feedback with the specific individual that it 's intended for. This will help limit confusion and negative feedback. This paper will identify the different types of feedback that will be in the Leadership Development Plan, along with how often each type will be used. In additional to how the feedback will be discussed, tracked, and will also provide sample forms that evaluate the feedback. “Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor (1
