CEDO 565 part 2.

Week two we learned more about leadership rolls and what teacher leaders look for when selecting an applicant.  I did agree that each applicant should have the confidence in the field they are seeking employment for. One thing they should do is be very honest and confident on why they are looking to work for that employer and happy explaining it. Some things mentioned in the book was common since like preparing for the interview. I guess breaking it down was helpful as well.

During our group discussion we discussed how we feel about receiving certain type of emails from higher authority.  I truly dislike the capital letters, especially when they are in red bold print.  When I was working and received an email like that,  I think it was very rude and they should practice how they send out emails.  So the style of the email really does matter.  I really use to get offended as if the person was yelling at me when I received an email like that. 

This week was very laid back and I agreed to chapter three more.  Everything mentioned is very true and its crazy how some lack that common sense for sending an email. So far with everything I am going through, I am enjoying this class. Looking forward to the next couple of weeks. 

Leadership and Planning Blog 1. 565

The title of this class says it all for me. I always think that I am a leader in any situation, I do not follow at all. But learning how to become a leader in an education setting is great for me right now. I enjoy the book so far because it's giving you a list of ideas what John think role for teacher leaders and leadership qualities are. I can really see myself as a student activities coordinator even though I want to become a technology coordinator.  Technology leader was one of them listed as well.  All the qualities in our first reading seems like a high quality everyone would need. After reviewing the first chapter this book maybe helpful for me.

The video we had me lost a little but I understood where he came from wondering how are the leaders in the school. If you do not have a motivated, respectful, driven leader then the schools or the system will fail. That is what I got out the video on TED.  Other than that, I am looking forward to the other classes.
