Beginning to Dream About Leadership

I have found the sharing that we do in class to be very beneficial. The information that we gather from our schools to bring and share is enlightening. There are advantages to the small school where I work and we are doing some things right but, I get envious when I see or hear some of the neat things that other districts are doing. Even small districts can have the correct procedures and plans. Our school did not have a Professional Development Plan to bring. I was impressed at the one that Scott brought from L-Muscatine District in Iowa. I want to get a copy of his for my file. I find as I'm sitting in class listening to Dr. Closen and all of you, that I begin dreaming of the changes I would make to the school where I teach. I start thinking of the things I've been learning about in this EDL program and I get enthusiastic about what I envision myself trying to accomplish when I take on the leadership role as an administrator. I like organization and goals and the details that were included in the L-M Plan that Scott had. I see that these plans would help direct the administration and staff throughout the year. I believe our school needs to become more focused by implementing such plans. If any of you from the other groups have a Professional Development Plan that is good, I would appreciate receiving a copy to have, too.
