Individual Reflection- Week 5 Organization and Administration0
How has the structure of this course (team discussion, individual assignment) helped you to better understand the concepts presented?
I have enjoyed the structure of this course. Working in our team has provided me with a real world experience in school decision making. I’ve enjoyed our team discussions greatly. In terms of the individual assignments, they have helped me understand the content better. I am someone who tends to procrastinate so having to work on the action plan has truly helped me stay on task. I also appreciate receiving immediate feedback as I move through each assignment. Working on the assignments each week has given me an opportunity to review the previous weeks work. This has help me better understand the presented concepts.
How will the structure of this course better prepare you for your administrative roles?
By placing us in a leadership team, you have provided us with an authentic learning experience. Everyone on the team brings to the discussions varied experiences. I believe the structure has simulated what we will experience as administrators. I have learned that when working in team you have to make compromises. This is a skill that an administrator must possess if they want to be successful.
In what areas would you like additional content or support?
We are just getting to budget, but this is an area that I feel I need more information on. As an administrator you are responsible for putting together a school budget. So I hope to receive more information on this. I feel the level of support has been great, there isn’t anything that I would change.
What questions or comments do you have about either the content or the structure of this course?
The structure of the course has been great and my only comment is about budget.
