The Pot-Stirring Approach: A Case Study for Education

After the decision of integrating the schools was final, principal Jones used his leadership skills for the process of communication. He used a multiplicity of methods to inform, the students and their parents, about the process and options that they had to enrolled in a new learning community. Furthermore, he created task forces to

During the school visit, many of the teachers expressed the high expectations they have not only for the students, but for themselves also. They used methods and resources, which engage students’ interest and accelerate their progress as well. Students are provided with interesting tasks and activities, which stimulate higher order thinking skills. The relationships are excellent and students respond to their teachers as well. As far as assessment, students of all abilities are addressed equable along with self-assessment and peer group assessment. The teachers are pleased with their strong curriculum, therefore; they are successful in motivating students and developing their independent learning and personal qualities. In addition, the quality of leadership and management is outstanding. The principal has distributed leadership responsibilities effectively throughout the staff; consequently, there is effective teamwork in within the school activities and staff turnover is

Taking this course was very useful for me. This is my first class that I have taken about leadership. Most of the subjects are very important and useful such as culture, leadership ethics, negotiation and solution conflict. The leader’s role in resolving conflict and negotiation’s topic resonate with me. This is one of the most important subject todays and also for me. Throughout history our nation and our country faced many problems and many times we encounter the problems but some time we couldn’t gain our goal. Besides that, I studied sociology and I worked 2 years as a social researcher. During these 2 years I had seen some social problem that I tried to resolve it. Despite the fact that, social researchers and sociologists are always trying to find a problem then trying to find a way to solve it. Moreover, I am willing to improve my competency in this subject because our country always have a conflict with our neighbors and other

The perspective given in this book is third-person omniscient. This book talks about the way the students felt, as well at the administration and faculty. They act as if they were on both sides and experiences both first-hand.

A hidden factor that has not been discussed is the impact it will have on you as the teacher. We will discuss this at a later date. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions or express any concerns you may have. Thank you for caring so much for our students. Every student needs an advocate in the building! Who's advocate are

The focus of this paper will be to describe the experience I have had with a good boss. For the past five years, I have had the opportunity to help coach a high school baseball team. My boss at this job is the sports director at the high school. This paper will examine how Mr. brown exhibits the correct values and leadership for his position.

Because of the principal’s silence, Mr. Jones did not demonstrate a balance on his task of managing the day to day to ensure the efficiency of the operations of the school. Also, he did not achieve the task of enabling or removing obstacles that the learning community encounters to continue the learning process. Even yet, when he decided to inform his faculty he should have act as the leader that he was supposed to be. He was not a successful leader, but just a manager when he did not motivate or create synergy between them. As a team, brainstorm ideas on how to challenge the school consolidation, could have been achieved.

With Mr. DeVaughn having recently retired, a situation has arisen to myself and to the other members of this board; we must begin the search for a new principal of Saltillo High School (SHS). This will, however, not be as simple a task as one might think, as we cannot simply select any random individual. We must choose the individual who is most fit for the job of running a school such as ours, and I was lucky enough to have the privilege of being the student who was selected to voice my opinion on this matter. I believe that I speak for the entire student body when I say that the new principal must possess specific qualities if he or she is to get the job and excel in his or her position. I believe that I speak once again for the rest of my fellow students when I say that we must select an individual who will best represent SHS as a whole: someone who has professionalism, who has moral values, and who has ambition.

Our Principal at Peoria Notre Dame High School allows change. My grade school principal hadn’t changed a thing, during my time in grade school. Mr. Simmons brought new traditions to school. For example, recognizing all the sports and clubs after school mass for their accomplishments. He hired new and younger faculty members, to create a better environment for young people.

The leaders and managers are the pillars of any educational setting on which the success and failure of the setting depend. Before discussing the leadership and

“The approach to the study of leadership usually has been and perhaps always must be through the study of traits. Leadership obviously is not a simple trait but rather a complex of many traits fashioned together as a unity (Cowley, 1928, p. 144).” Leadership can be defined as the position or function of a leader, a person who guides or directs a group. Leadership is a process that occurs in a group setting. Leadership involves influence and goal attainment. Leadership styles and theories are vast in number and detail. This paper will examine leadership from the perspective of college and university presidents. Presidents of institutions of higher education are considered leaders. Each institution is different meaning that presidents have to be diverse in their leadership knowledge and style in order to effectively lead the institution. It is necessary to have a general knowledge of leadership theories and styles in order to properly examine the traits and behaviors of college and university presidents.

students to take over. I think that this was a great way to handle the book that they

I’ve had quite the learning experience over the last few weeks. I had a chance to obtain valuable information and support from my principal. I learned so much about the administration role and how difficult it can be. When I began my interview, I felt overwhelmed and excited at the same time. My principal is also my mentor; she has been very supportive of me pursuing my dreams to be in administrator. As I conducted my interview I learned so much about the principal’s role. I asked my principal a series of questions. The questions were based on the Interstate School Leadership Licensure Consortium Standards (ISLLC). My first question was based on educational programs. The educational programs at any school need balance. While we live in a test results world, there needs to be a balance of focus. I look at the type of student I want my school to produce and I surround myself with a faculty and other staffs that not only share in the mission, but also will help every student succeed. In addition, as an administrator, I need to provide my faculty and staff with the tools and resources necessary to make everyone feel successful.

The principal’s role in developing positive community relations sets the tone for communication patterns, partnership formation and/or alienation (Fiore, 2013). There are many tasks that the principal has that is important to school and community relations. Some of those are being a good listener, diplomatic and tactful and all situations. They also have to promote the open door policy to be free to communicate with students, parents, and their staff. They also have to inform the superintendent and community about good and bad things that are

Leadership changes are also seen in many schools as well. There is a change in not only roles, but alterations are noted in relationship and responsibilities. There is change in not only the roles, but the responsibilities and the relations are effected is well. It is seen that in this form of leadership, there is less tendency of hierarchical within an organization.
