ISLLC “Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium Standards”

 

Standard 5

A school administrator is an educational leader who promotes the success of all students by acting with integrity, fairness, and in an ethical manner.

 

Artifact 1: Analyzing a Leader in Action, a paper written to exemplify what good administration looks like.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rationale: I have chosen to interview and analyze a current principal of mine who I believe demonstrates the quintessential attributes of a high quality leader.  I have learned a great deal from Tony Maker as I have informed him of my aspirations to become a principal one day, and knowing so, has included me in several discussions regarding his principal role. Tony is people oriented, charismatic and well balanced between being a moral leader, husband and father which also aids in his respect factor.   

 

Reflection: I have spent enough time with Tony to ascertain he would be categorized as a dynamic assertive leader according to Glanz in, Finding Your Leadership Style (Glanz, 2002). Tony consistently is aware of his students and their needs in order to succeed, seeking options to improve on current situations. He is respected in the community because of the respect that he gives. Involvement, not just inside the school walls but also within the community is high. Tony serves to be a reputable model of a positive leader and others, including myself try to emulate him.

 

Artifact 2: Teachers’ Rights Case Exam, helps explain by law what the teacher has rights to as a teacher, but also helps the administration and students as well when everyone know the law.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rationale: It is reassuring to know that teachers fall under the same constitutional rights as the rest of the United States citizens and students. Just as students have the property right to a free education, teachers have the property right to their profession, called tenure.

 

Reflection: A teacher is held to a high moral/community standard period. All teachers need to know the high standard prior to becoming a teacher, because they are seen as role models, in a positive way or not.
