Following each class meeting, students will reflect upon an essential question related to our work and discussion. The reflection question will provide students with an opportunity to synthesize keys ideas discussed in class, offer a personal connection or reaction, and identify the relevance for school leaders. Each response should be approximately two paragraphs in length and include specific references to information from class and/or the readings. Students should be sure to use appropriate conventions, grammar, and spelling. Posts should be made prior to the next week's class session. Each post will be worth ten points.
We have ready many excellent texts and articles throughout the course that examine various dimensions of leadership. As you prepare to work on an initial draft of your philosophy of instructional leadership, use this opportunity to discuss one core belief or action on the part of a principal that you believe has the ability to improve the quality of teaching and/or student learning. Explain why you selected this particular concept and how you will work to ensure that it is in place in your school when you become principal.
