The second domain in the Florida Principals Leadership Standards is composed of three different standards. The first of these is Instructional Plan Implementation and is about how an effective leader must collaborate to develop and implement an effective instructional framework that aligns with the required standards and meets his/her students’ needs (“The Florida Principal,” n.d.). Due to the variety in options that are available to align instruction to a pupil, given that the instruction will be adjusted to his/her needs, I feel that the situational leadership approach will be able to be implemented in this situation to create better results as “different situations demand different kinds of leadership (Northouse, P., 2016). The different leadership styles that make up the Situational approach can be tied to this standard by connecting the necessary leadership style with the supportive and directive behaviors in the task that is performed. As an instructor, I will spend time in the S1 category of the Situational Leadership Model as I make use of a “common language of instruction”, spend time between the S1 and S2 categories by “communicate the relationships among academic standards” and by being engaged “in data analysis for instructional planning and improvement”.

The “Action Research Project” from my Theories of Instruction class forced me to take a systematic approach at collecting multiple sources of data, analyzing it, and then representing it in order to determine how exactly my own instructional practices should be improved on. The “Effective Schools Project” from my Ethical Leadership class similarly helped me learn how to assess multiple perspectives and sources of data regarding issues such as the school’s climate, the school’s safety, student progress, and time on task. The “Field Experience Project” from my Curriculum Management class taught me how to look at the standardized test data to determine an area where curricular reform was needed and what my next steps would be to accomplish this reform. Finally, the “School Board Activity” from my Curriculum Management class helped me learn how to use data from an interview with a school board member to gain an understanding of where the school is at in assessing its effectiveness and how the school plans to achieve its

There are certain challenges that middle school principals face that pertain only to these middle school principals due to

Leadership is a construct that stretches across every aspect of life. Within the educational system, the majority of decisions about schools are made by upper administration at both the state and district level. High-stakes testing, unfunded educational mandates, and tight budgets have been guiding administrators to make extensive, critical, and impactful decisions in districts, at times, without input from essential stakeholders such as teachers. McCombs and Miller (2009) described results in the following way, “what began as an effort to create a culture of achievement for all has resulted instead in a culture in which achievement has been subverted, leaving teacher and school leaders weary and demoralized” (p. 13). This type of culture
