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.

  1. I have a very strong principal at my school and the qualities and roles that were defined in the chapter confirmed that. I also think that with teaching and school staff, the way that a leader needs to interact and lead is far different than in a business setting.
