Visionary and Strategic Leadership
Standard 6:
Decision Making
Education leaders demonstrate the ability to integrate theory, research, and practice to envision a desired future and facilitate setting strategic directions for change needed to develop learning and learner-centered schools. Education leaders grounded in a personal philosophy of education and education leadership. They are also the lead learners in the school community. They are change agents who use theory, research, and theoretically grounded practices to transform schools into collaborative, responsible learning communities.

We must always be willing to challenge a pillar of our belief in order to continue to grow. To be purposed, yet flexible ... that is true strength.
Curriculum Platform from 2013 (I will revisit ...)
The heart of this work is to get children to realize their potential, to see the value they bring to this world and to provide them with opportunities to explore their own dreams. Children should know they have the ability change this world. This work begins with understanding, collaboration, and relationship building.
Leadership Platform from 2013 (I will revisit ...)
What I believe about Leadership is that it is an ever-evolving role. As new experiences and opportunities present themselves, what we value and believe may be altered somewhat. I think about the scholars of yesterday who once stood upon the "fact" that the world was flat. Had no one ever challenged that belief, their "truth" may have never changed.
