As I wrote the capstone paper, I was reminded of the importance of identifying the current reality. Before we can move forward, we must identify where we are. When moving forward, the destination (vision or goal) should be clearly communicated to all stakeholders. Once the current reality is identified and the vision is communicated, then a plan can be created to make the vision a reality. Staff, students, parents, and community members should all have a voice in the vision as well as in the plan. The support of all stakeholders will be needed to carry out the plan. As barriers are encountered, an effective PLC can address and conquer them.
Each and every person at a school site is important! We must work together as a team with the guidance of the school leader. Leadership can have a positive effect on a school. It's a process. A positive leader will stay close to the community and have good systems in place.
We can not make excuses for children not performing at proficient or advanced. There are no acceptable excuses why not every child can learn. We must hold tightly that every child can learn and ensure there success!
Hey Carrie, you summed it up nicely, " No excuses, every child can learn and we must ensure their success! Good luck with the rest of your school year.
ReplyDeleteYou are right Carrie! There are no excuses for student not performing well and why students are unable to learn. If we don't believe in each student then who will?
