ELCC Standard One: The 100 Greatest Education

1050 Words5 Pages

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
I believe that an educational system isn’t worth a great deal if it teaches students how make a living but doesn’t teach them how to make a life (“The 100 Greatest Education Quotes”). As a building principal, I believe that I must look at the bird’s eye view of my school – not just the students, not just the teachers and staff, not just the curriculum, and not just at required tests but magnified to see the families and the community who contribute to molding our young people. Partnering with the “village” creates connections, openness, vision, and empowerment that strengthens all stakeholders. I believe in building relationships, developing leadership, and investing in the lives of those God has put on my radar.
ELCC Standard One: Educational Vision …show more content…

Modeling and sharing the vision plan and the daily goals to accomplish the vision are extremely important to the success of students, teachers and the culture of the building. Connecting with stakeholders through personal connection, technology, and meetings will be important in keeping all stakeholders focused on the day-to-day mission and how that is feeding the continued improvement. Likewise, keeping the students apprised of the vision plan is equally important. Students need to know and be reminded that school is place to gain knowledge for life, and all stakeholders are extremely invested in that goal. In his book, Fullan quotes Mintzberg as saying, “The best way to ‘manage’ change is to allow for it to happen” (373). This implies that I must be open and innovative, setting clear and high expectations for all – including myself. I am not motivated by the threats of parental lawsuits but by student growth and accountability as well as future

This vision must resonate with team members. I consider this a weakness because the visions I develop do not always pass the four-part litmus test. Typically visions I create are missing team buy-in. To prevent this, I need to involve team members in the vision creation process. Additionally, I must explain the challenges of today and the vision must focus the team’s eyes towards a brighter future. Furthermore, the vision must be achievable and draw team members in with feelings of belonging and excitement.

JCHS Vision Statement

3398 Words | 14 Pages

Demographically, Jefferson City High School (JCHS) had 74.3% White students and 16.6% Black students with 42.4% free (or reduced) lunch in a population of 2,618 in 2008 (DESE, 2014). Thus defining JCHS as a large suburban secondary school based in an urban setting. I was hired for the 2009 school-year to help model the vision of learning in my school community by supporting the development of faculty skills that match the will of our directive. The mission of the JCHS community seeks to teach, inspire, motivate, and empower students to be responsible members within a global society (Jefferson City, 2011). The details of successful implementation to fulfill our mission to each student were ambiguous in both philosophy and application.

Firestone High School Mission Statement

As I reflect on the process employed for completion of this action research project I think about the process that principals and other educational leaders use to promote school improvement. As a future educational leader I must promote the success of every student by facilitating the development, articulation, implementation, and stewardship of a vision of learning that is shared and supported by all stakeholders (The Council of Chief State School Officers [CCSSO], 2008). When I first started the principalship program I was amazed to find out that Firestone High School did not have a vision statement in place and when I asked several of the current administrators about our vision, often I was told our mission statement. As I continue on with my internship program next year, it will be my goal to ensure that by the time we are in our new building in 2016 the school will have a vision statement to guide our focus.

What I Learned In The First Leadership Course And Adult Learning

503 Words | 3 Pages

After reading the chapter about goal setting last week, I thought back to what I learned in the first leadership course and adult learning. Motivation and building capacity are the two aspects that came to mind as I was reading this section. I know how important it is for school leaders to establish a purpose, or vision and set goals; however, it is equally important for teachers to believe in the vision. Additionally, they must be motivated and have the capacity to achieve the goals. Without a commitment and the competence to succeed, the vision is meaningless.

I know that this is a lot of mission/vision statement I would encourage all be one page or less if possible. By doing this, as a team district, school, teacher, parent and student we could see what is valued by all. I could also see items parents and students value and see how I can incorporate this in my teaching and in my classroom. I believe when students see that everyone around them wants them to be successful and is willing to help them become such, that their education will take on a personal meaning for them. They are no longer just at school to be somewhere, they are at school to accomplish goals set by them and their parents to help them become successful adults in the

Saber Tooth Curriculum Summary

Sadker & Sadker (2017) believes that, “behind every school and every teacher is a set of related beliefs--a philosophy of education--that influences what and how students are taught. A philosophy of education represents answers to questions about the purpose of schooling, a teacher's role, and what should be taught and by what methods” (Chapter 9). I seek to adopt the progressivism approach. Progressive education rejects traditional education as it is child-centred and not subject-centred (Reedy, 2017). My Philosophy of education requires me to ask myself questions on why do I teach, what do I teach and how do I teach.
