Artifact 1: Website

This is a website designed by me explaining the importance of differentiated instruction.

 

Rationale: As teachers and administrators, we need to know our students, how they learn best, what they are interested in and what they don't know or already know. The information learned in this process will lead to productive instruction and improve student knowledge.

 

Reflection: So what did our students learn? Here is where we determine future learning, possible re-teaching and learn what our students knowledge level is.  Diversity, interests and needs are a “must” in education because this is essential to success and growth of both teachers and students.

Artifact 2

Leadership Self-Assessment, is a paper I wrote describing my personality traits and what kind of leader I may possibly be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rationale: I scored a perfect eight out of eight in the dynamic supportive category of Glanz’s leadership quality type quiz (Glanz, 2002, p.196). The first question I asked when finding the results of the quiz was, what does being a dynamic supportive leader entail? The characteristics of a dynamic supportive leader include being compassionate, trustworthy, a good communicator, considerate, and joyful. Remember, these are Glanz’s words not mine, other qualities that are placed in this category are; a strong ethical inner core and a seeking to reduce conflict. The last two are of most importance to me and my beliefs as to what a successful leader exudes. Above all, a dynamic supportive leader cares about other people (Glanz, 2002, p.41). 

 

Reflection: No leadership style is perfect, people view dynamic supportive leaders a few different ways. I can be viewed as someone who takes on too much, does not recognize when to say “no” and can be lazy and messy (Glanz, 2002, p.40). Personally, I believe I uphold the positive quality traits of a dynamic supportive leader and I am excited about my future leadership roles and opportunities to successfully lead a school.
