Part B. Connecting Self-Assessment to Your Context
How does awareness of your own biases, experiences of privilege, and personal values inform your chosen Capstone Project?
Being aware of my biases has really made me seek more opportunities to communicate, talk and value my colleagues around me. It has MADE me go to individuals who I might not have talked to and explore more diverse conversations.
Overarching Competency #1
In interpersonal effectiveness, I am at the developing stage and honestly would like to get to transforming, but this might take me a few years. I am at the developing because I have already sought out opportunity to support teachers with trainings, committees, mentorships. My goal in my career is to be a coach to new teachers in the district and train them directly in their classrooms not at a “training”.
Overarching Competency #2:- In adult learning I am truly at the emerging stage. I know backwards and forwards how students learn, but have never sat down and really realized how adults grow professionally. I would like to be transforming and think that with this project I can.
Foundational Competency -In collaborate Purposefully I feel I am emerging because this is a life long competency I feel. I self reflect a lot with different cultural groups and things that I was unaware of in certain situations with certain cultural groups. I want to just be more aware and jump up to the developing stage where I can engage in ongoing trainings and self improvement.
Specific Leadership Pathway Competency selection: instructional leadership, coaching and mentoring . I feel I have a pretty good relationship with my colleagues. I have been at the developing stage only because I have been mentoring student teachers and long term subs, but not in a formal setting. I really would like to be transforming because I want to "create" and teach other in teacher development.
Part C. Connecting Assessment of Diverse Stakeholders to Your Context in Module 6: Design
Describe your work with diverse stakeholders, shared learning experiences, and how you anticipate your leadership pathway mindset might evolve during the TLI process.
Me evolving with TLI and my diverse stateholders comes down to being more aware. My leadership pathway is instructional with coaching and mentoring and to be good at that, I need to know my staff and listen to their experiences in life.
Describe how your awareness of those from different cultures, experiences, and backgrounds inform your chosen project.
Being aware informs my chosen project because it allows me to add more options and ideas to my checklist for new teachers. Having experienced, SPED, admin and every diverse background of teacher giving me input, only allowed me to get their feedback and genuine help.
