Week 1 Assignment, Part 2: Survey Reflection
Although all competencies are important for a principal to learn, be familiar with and implement, a few stand out to me as most important such as developing collegial relationships and effective collaboration, aligning financial resources, ensuring achievement of the campus vision, managing conflict, modeling integrity and allocating resources for professional development and use effective planning and organization of personnel to maximize attainment of district and campus goals. A few things that are very important but seem a little less significant to me as the role of the principal are: facilitating the development of student services and activity programs, ensuring responsiveness to diverse groups, implementing appropriate recruiting and dismissal of campus stall, assessing and modifying campus vision and celebrating the contributions of students and staff. Although these things are important it seems that these things can be accomplished by other members of the faculty and staff. Among the things that I have observed at my campus that need to be implemented more frequently are: ensuring the development of collegial relationships and effective collaboration. Our school started out four years ago as a very tight-knit family and due to fluctuating growing pains and staffing lay-offs, we have become distant and isolated. Team building needs to be implemented to bring us back together so that we can meet the diverse needs in the shaping of our campus culture.
