Final Blog Post 13

What an adventure the administrative cohort has been!  I have learned a lot and enjoyed real life activities that help prepare me as a future leader.   I understand there is still a lot for me to learn and the only way I'll learn is by getting more involved in administrative positions.  I can’t lie, I was a little nervous going into the culminating interview simulation because my current reality is Physical Education and many of the other teachers have more classrooms and curriculum experiences that me.  I had the opportunity to interview with Corcoran principals and they gave me so very helpful information for me to think about.  Yes, I teach PE but I have also taught in the classroom health and Academic Core, worked with discipline SRC, SAP coordinator, and coach.  I need to use my experience as my focus and present myself as a leader not as a PE teacher/coach.  I almost wish we could have had multiple interview simulations and get advice from different administrators and hear what they are looking for or what they liked.  I really enjoyed EAD 269 and the wonderful instructors who taught me to use my strengths as a future leader.  Wishing everyone the best and hope to see you in the education world!

Just finished my capestone paper and a big weight has been lifted! It was real eye opener to view our school site plan current data then fast-forward five years as desired future goals. It would be interesting to see if anyone from same school site have simular goals in five years. Sorry if I miss spell any words but I'm posting from my iphone. Reflecting back on all the assignments we had to complete were extreamly helpful in preparing us for future leaders. Especially completing the budget, FRISK letter, and displine assignments. I didn't mind posting my blogs but had the most difficult time posting a comment on other peoples blogs. The strange part is I couldn't comment on peoples blogs with my school laptop but I was able to comment using my iPhone. Did anyone else have a difficult time posting comment on other peoples blogs? During the practicum I completely missed the entire scenario! I must be blind. When I opened the site I was focused on "Here is your assignment". Which made absolutely NO sense! I didn't scroll up and started typing because I was on the clock. Glad it's over.
