Why I Become A Leader Of A School

I personally believe that Physical Education is a beneficial part of our knowledge and well-being. If accepted into the Physical Education Leadership Program, my motive is for other students and incoming freshman to see P.E. class as a place of growth and improvement, and also a place where you can enjoy and meet new people. During my 1 ½ years of being a student here at MCHS, I have met many people and have made many friends through P.E. class. If I become a P.E. leader, I will encourage and help students to do their best and to have confidence in what they do in and even out of P.E. class. Like many others, I am a shy person. If accepted into the program, I feel it would help me break out

Throughout Middle School and High School, I have won multiple Academic Honors and was able to partake in a Leadership Group/Camp. In Middle School, I was Honored as the best student in Reading, won many A-Honor Rolls, a few A/B-Honor rolls, and multiple Perfect Attendance Awards. In 8th grade, I was chosen along with many other students to help mentor the 6th graders moving up to the middle school and from there on I became part of a group called “Michigan Middle Leadership Initiative (MMLI)”, where only 10 students were selected to join. Currently, I have maintained a GPA of 3.89 or higher and I’m taking an Advanced Placement course for Environmental Science. Overall, I have a good attendance record and have never been tardy for class before. At the most, I’ll miss about 2 days of school in a trimester if I become ill.

They must have the desired charisma to develop and influence other in a unique way that will yield positive results. Power is an important tool to achieve this and its characterized by values, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. Using power to influence a change of behaviors is less difficult compare to changing attitudes; attitudes are also less difficult to change than either beliefs or values. Leaders, knowing the importance of power can systematically influence change that will transform the entire organization, especially when it comes to achieving goals and

It is evident that Schulich Leaders are individuals who possess the ability to leave an impressionable impact on their school and beyond. Throughout my educational pathway, I have consistently dedicated my time and effort for the greater good of my fellow students, staff, and community members. I have always been naturally inclined to lead individuals, as it gives me the opportunity to express and develop my capabilities as an exemplary role model. Particularly, I demonstrate these characteristics through a variety of extracurricular activities and clubs, where my tendency to propose, carry out, and offer insight on the issues at hand never goes unnoticed. Due to the fact that I am a diligent and thoughtful individual who never rests until my endeavours materialize lends to the notion that I will undoubtedly make an outstanding Schulich Leader.

I should be section leader for three reasons: the fact that I have proven myself as a great player of my instrument, I am very musically inclined, and I have the ability to march, keep time, and drill well. Again, the first reason that I should be section leader of the trombone section, above everyone else, is that I have proven myself as a great player of my instrument in general. I believe this because I have been playing the trombone for four years, and in that time I have been on the highest middle school jazz band, and have beat out the entirety of the concert band trombone section, minus the other three players in Jazz Orchestra. Throughout my years in the middle school Gold Jazz Band, I helped acquire three of three possible Outstanding Trombone Section awards. I have also gotten many outstanding soloist awards for my playing, throughout my middle school career and my just starting high school career.

I came to Tarleton as a scared freshman who barely knew anyone on campus. The first person that I got to connect with was my Residential Leader. She let me know that no matter what was going on she would always be there for me as a friend and a mentor. When I first came here I decided I wouldn’t try to be an RL that I would just try to be a TTM. Now that I have this awesome relationship with my RL I want to become that for someone else. She was there for me when I was laughing and she was there for me when I was crying. She is one of the reasons that I didn’t drop out as a freshman.

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.

I am seeking admission to Concordia University-Chicago’s Educational Leadership Doctoral program. Currently I am an Instructional Leader with the Rockford Public School District. I would like to pursue a Doctorate degree in Educational Leadership to further my knowledge of the required leadership traits, essential skills and educational systems, practices and laws so that I may ultimately become a contributing member of a school district’s administrative cabinet.

After reviewing "Seven Habits Profile", I realized that maintaining a balance in the emotional bank account section is necessary for a leader. My first weakness as a servant leader I'm too kind; therefore, some people might take advantage of my kindness. My followers might see me as catering to their needs excessively; therefore, I might lose my authority. Liden, Wayne, Liao, and Meuser (2014) claimed that servant leadership isn't limited to create a pleasant work atmosphere because this form of leadership directly influences the performance level. Judge, Bono, Ilies, Gerhardt (2002) also argued that agreeable individuals tend to be seen as passive and compliant, it makes sense they would be less likely to emerge as leaders. The human nature

Create a personal, professional mission statement summarizing philosophy, knowledge and skills of instructional supervision from which to guide future leadership actions.

Pool and Schwegler proposed, in 2007, three distinctions among motives for norm conformity: 1) acknowledging accuracy, 2) acknowledging self-related motives, and 3) acknowledging other-related motives. The assumption was when motivation was accuracy, individuals comply with norms because they believe others’ behavior provides adaptive cues for success. Self-related motivation occurs because social identity adopted by conforming to the behavior and the implications of the conformity produces a positive self-evaluation. Other-related conformation motivation stems from concern with others and the

The theory behind this test has helped me understand more about myself in terms of fitting in within a group environment. I found that I would fit best within the roles of gatekeeper and harmonizer, which aren't surprising. "According to self-assessment feedback on personality, the key motivation that drives my behavior is to be respected, to be academically qualified, and to

According to Hans Urs von Balthasar “a vocation is something lived, something enacted and a concrete life story” (Contino, 2004, p. 85). My vocational life story has developed over the past forty years with my first job at twelve babysitting six children to where I stand today teaching home economics at Chowchilla high school. “I build my own life story through the decisions of projects I undertake” and the choices I have made regarding my career path (Contino, 2004, p. 85). Someone looking from the outside at my wandering path might believe of my career changes seem a bit radical. Moving bicoastal, leaving a stable career of twenty five plus years to go back to college, take a pay cut and joining the unstable labor market of Home

Reading all the data and doing my own research I feel inspired to keep growing in my life. To thrive in my career while working on my leadership identity. Staying connected with other women in leadership roles whom I can learn and get inspired from. Also, keeping connected to all aspects involving leadership development, commitment and aspiration. When thinking about gender and inequality, it opens my eyes to see the amount of work women still need to do. Granted women have evolved in being more independent over the years taking back the upper hand men had.

I am not too surprised trait was my lowest because I do not agree fully that “leaders are born, not made” (Northouse, 2015, p. 4). Yes, certain traits for a particular situation demanded are necessary, but leaders can most definitely be made, or at least the skills can be attained. I can see behavior as being one of my lower scores because there are areas in this category I can see myself improving on. Behavior is very observational, this is what followers and others look for. Behavior is broken down into two parts: task behaviors, and process behaviors. Both are required to be considered leadership. I think that I can work on helping people feel more comfortable while working together rather than ignoring the issue, which is something I look forward to improving on, and also my strength of being harmonic is something to focus on as well, since avoiding debate and conflict is something I do, but I can work on my strength more in harmonizing a situation.
