As the field of education and learning evolve, the demand for efficient, effective and competent teachers also increases. Although teachers are now considered as facilitators of the learning process, there is still a great need for teacher leadership.

Thus, all teachers should and must possess leadership qualities that will help students to nurture their potentials.

  • Reflection On Florida Principal's Leadership Standards

    957 Words  | 4 Pages

    The second domain in the Florida Principals Leadership Standards is composed of three different standards. The first of these is Instructional Plan Implementation and is about how an effective leader must collaborate to develop and implement an effective instructional framework that aligns with the required standards and meets his/her students’ needs (“The Florida Principal,” n.d.). Due to the variety in options that are available to align instruction to a pupil, given that the instruction will be adjusted to his/her needs, I feel that the situational leadership approach will be able to be implemented in this situation to create better results as “different situations demand different kinds of leadership (Northouse, P., 2016). The different leadership styles that make up the Situational approach can be tied to this standard by connecting the necessary leadership style with the supportive and directive behaviors in the task that is performed. As an instructor, I will spend time in the S1 category of the Situational Leadership Model as I make use of a “common language of instruction”, spend time between the S1 and S2 categories by “communicate the relationships among academic standards” and by being engaged “in data analysis for instructional planning and improvement”.

    Draft revisions to the 2008 standards were completed by the ISLLC Standards Committee in 2014. The updated version, referred to as the Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (PSEL), reflects years of research, as well as, best practices and knowledge from experienced school leaders and district-level practitioners. The new standards challenge ‘business as usual’ as it reshapes school policy, leadership programs, and evaluations. More precisely, the standards place a higher level of expectation on schools to respond to, and plan for, diverse learners with various cultural influences. The leader must establish a community of care wherein each student is valued, respected, and emotionally protected.

Children from five years old to their upper teens spend upwards of 7 hours a day for over half the calendar year in a school system with only their teachers as a primary guiding force outside of their homes. Teachers not only cultivate minds in educating their subjects, but they also help to mold their students’ lives by leading by example and showing how to properly interact in everyday life.
