At the most rudimentary level, a leader is someone who leads other. But what makes someone a leader? What is it about being a leader that some people understand and use to their advantage? What can you do to be a leader? A leader is a person who has a vision, a drive and a commitment to achieve that vision, and the skills to make it happen. These leadership traits are broken down further into seven beneficial habits in Sean Covey’s book “The 7 Habits of highly Effective Teens” and the fundamental base of leadership found in the 40 developmental assets. The main things that made Douglas a highly effective leader are family support, caring, integrity, school engagement, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win and synergize.…

"A leader is one who influences others to attain goals. Leaders orchestrate change, set direction, and motivate people to overcome and move the organization toward its ideal future" (Bateman & Snell, 2004, p30). An effective leader will delegate tasks to other individuals and trust him or her to carry out the assigned task to completion. In the Spokane Public School, the principal in each school holds the role of leader. The job is for the administrator to understand the process of education and the state and federal regulations that mandate education. The administrator is then able to communicate effectively to all instructional staff the curriculum that needs to be implemented in each classroom.…
As stated in the Standards for Advanced Programs in Educational Leadership by The National Policy Board for Educational Administration (NPBEA), the first standard builds on the need to prepare educational leaders who value and are committed to educating all students to become successful adults. Every educational leader is responsible for creating and articulating a vision for high standards for learning. Furthermore, the motivation and participation of all stakeholders in a school community in the process to develop, articulate, implement, and support a Vision for Learning is the key factor for the leader practice. This process requires from the leader reflective skills, data-based decision making, delegating and empowering skills that allows for professional growth of the educational staff and the commitment of the community stakeholders to support and sustain the vision of learning.3…

Leadership is not only in a school setting but other professions requiring one or two people to direct others in a beneficial path. Pursuing a degree in administration forced me to reflect on the characteristics I see best fit when leading staff in the correct direction. Leaders are not born overnight, but take time to grow and perfect. Leaders not only are driven to benefit themselves, but also have a force behind them for the benefit of the entire school.…
In conclusion, I persuade you, administrators, to establish a good relationship not only with the children and parents, but also with the community and workers. Leadership becomes more essential in order to cultivate a school culture whose primary focus is on the learning and achievement of each and every student. Each day we are afforded an opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of our students through our role as education…
What would you say if you could go back in time and speak to your younger self, especially at a critical period of development? In Letters to My Younger Self, the author thinks back to her painful struggles with timed mathematics tests during her second grade year, and the teacher’s response to those struggles. The trigger for these distressing memories is walking into a second-grade classroom as a teacher’s assistant for the first time, where Shafto (2011) recalls her own second grade year and the memories of when she was diagnosed with a learning disability. At that time and in that place, she felt discouraged, her self-esteem…
The superintendent and school board hiring of a principal is the ultimate judge of that individual’s ability to adequately serve as the leader in a particular school. According to Marques (2013), “Perceptions of employees about the qualities they expect from their leaders have undergone a significant change”. The superintendent and school board must have a clear understanding of what characteristics are associated with a principal who will serve as the instructional leader as well as responsible for managing the operational component of the school. The superintendent and his/her committee should examine and be familiar with the following leader keys standards and knowledgeable…
