Final thoughts for 565 Leadership.

During this class my definition of leadership has altered tremendously. It opened so many ways each person in the school district can act as a leader. From the superintendent down to a student's parent that is involved with the school. Before reading the text, I never considered all the other individuals as leaders; I looked at them as participants. My definition of teacher leadership would be someone who is willing and ready to go above and beyond, not necessarily a teacher. They may have a teacher characteristic but not a teacher. 

I agree with the textbook about "improving education from within", simply because if we see what we can work on in front of us and the tools we have, it makes things easier and better for us. To help, I would do anything to help improve education. I will use the learning and the tools that I have and share them. Making them feel comfortable is one way to help and continuing from there.
