MY
LEADERSHIP
FRAMEWORK
PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
There are two major goals of an education. The first goal is to provide students with the tools needed to achieve academic success and to excel in extracurricular activities. The second goal is to promote students to become productive and responsible citizens. Therefore, schools should provide students with a vision of learning that is conducive to satisfying these goals.
I believe that all students can learn. It is important to design and implement strategic plans that enhance teaching styles to meet the needs of the diverse learners of today.
“Leaders establish trust with candor, transparency, and credit.”— Jack Welch
PHILOSOPHY OF LEADERSHIP
As a leader and educator, I feel that it is important to enhance the success of all students through leadership and management of the organization, operations, and resources for a safe, efficient, and effective learning environment. It is important to develop a system of staff and student evaluation. It is also important to develop programs that further enhance the quality of the staff and students in a supportive environment. Effective educators are versatile in their philosophy of leadership and constantly model the ideal of integrity and ethical behavior for their students.
“People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring others together.” — Michelle Obama
VISION FOR LEARNERS
Every student deserves a well-rounded education. This encompasses not only an education in the classroom, but extracurricular activities that promote and develop teamwork, different personalities, and the social skills. To fulfill this vision for the student, it is important to continue to enhance the quality of staff to increase student achievement and student activities.
“Management is doing the right thing; leadership is doing the right things.” — Peter F. Drucker
VISION FOR TEACHERS
Teachers are motivators, facilitators, a vast source of knowledge to their students, and have the highest impact on student achievement. Teachers have a lasting effect on the life of a child, which is an awesome responsibility. Teachers should be positive and support the philosophy that “the child comes first" through relationship building. Teachers should have the time to plan and research curriculum and instructional programs that address the different learning styles of students in order to further increase student achievement.
“People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader leads, and the boss drives.”— Theodore Roosevelt
VISION FOR THE ORGANIZATION
My vision for my music programs revolves around four "C’s": climate, community, collaboration, and communication. The climate of the school and my classes should be a safe and positive environment. It is important to maintain the current facilities and to provide space to support the academic and extracurricular programs of the school and music program. The community should be involved in the school through parent organizations, alumni support organizations, and volunteer opportunities so that they feel a sense of ownership and pride.
There should be a constant collaboration between students, parents, teachers, alumni, business partners, and administrators. Through this collaboration, a well-articulated vision of learning should be developed and supported by the school and the community. Communication is the key to any successful organization. As a facilitative leader, it is important to enhance student success by collaborative communication with the staff and students, but also with families, community members, and with other members of the school climate. By responding to the diverse needs of everyone involved, student achievement is limitless.
“Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It’s about impact, influence, and inspiration.”— Robin S. Sharma
VISION FOR PROFESSIONAL GROWTH
Professional development for educators should be a continual process. Educators should be lifelong learners. Adequate resources should be acquired for teachers and staff to keep up with current trends. Constructive feedback is a method of assessment, which could be utilized to determine if growth has occurred.
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.” - John Quincy Adams
METHOD OF VISION ATTAINMENT
I believe that I am a visionary that facilitates growth by obtaining the involvement of all organizations related to the school culture so that there is ownership of the vision.
It is also important to develop a goal statement that helps achieve the vision. The vision should be a long-term ideal that develops year to year. In achieving this vision, it is important to hire teachers that will enhance the success of the vision for increased student achievement.
