Capstone Reflection
As I reflect on the capstone paper, I realize there is a ton that goes into running a school. A principal better know he finances, people, and goals clearly. It all starts with the people you surround yourself with as the administrator. Building and fostering relationships is important to begin the process of building a successful school. Setting goals in student learning and creating the means to reach those goals is the crucial part of the job. Looking at creating a schedule for PLC and collaboration among teachers and staff is also very important. I have realized that there is not just an easy answer to developing a successful school. It takes a lot of time and buyin from all people on campus. It is a process that is constantly being adjusted.

Much time and adjustments take place. Even our good veteran administrators adjust for time, people, and goals. There are some administrators who don't get that.
ReplyDeleteVery much agree with adjusting and taking time. It's a hard thing to do, but important for good leadership.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. The key to a successful school is willingness to dedicate the time and knowing that things will constantly be changing. Flexibility, trust and communication are critical aspects of a successful leader. Wonderful work Matt!
