During this process, I have systematized and assembled teacher handbooks and a high school program-planning guide to communicate the school’s vision, mission, and goals. The teacher handbooks contained various strategies, policies, and resourceful forms for the teachers. The high school program-planning guide is a great tool to help students plan and organize their academic schedule. Both books are very resourceful and serves as a benefit for both teachers and students. The Bonnie Springer School’s mission is to create a school environment, which acknowledges the strengths and needs of each student and providing them an opportunity to learn. Our school has a wide variety of learners and a host of teachers as a result; the teacher handbook and the high school program-planning guide are great resources to meet the need of students and teachers. As a future school administrator, Standard 1 is a strength for me. I have a passion for academic success for all students and I feel it is important for me to continue to develop skills in this area to foster success. An area I will continue to improve on with my vision is working with colleagues and teachers. As I reflect, I did not spend much time involving colleagues and teachers with the decision making process. In the future, I plan to involve them more in sharing the vision and even have them help make decisions where the vision is

Employees that are not consulted regarding a vision statement will be hesitant to engage in the task of promoting the vision. Simply creating a vision statement is not sufficient action to promote the welfare of students through the vision statement. The educational leader must engage in the implantation of school plans to increase the organizational effectiveness of the staff. Whether it is a staffing decision or a curriculum change, the principal must take charge. Monitoring and assessing the schools vision statement is also crucial.

2). There has been a shift in what effective leadership looks like over the years. The role of a principal has transitioned from a hierarchical system, in which the principal is the educational expert, to a shared instructional leadership role that encourages collaboration between the administration and teachers as well as between teachers and their colleagues (Marks & Printy, 2003). “Shared instructional leadership involves the active collaboration of principal and teachers on curriculum, instruction, and assessment,” (Marks & Printy, 2003, p. 371). With this approach, the responsibility for curriculum development as well as professional development and supervision of classroom instruction is shared, fundamentally changing structure and culture within the school.
