One of my favorite leadership quotes came from Tom Peters when he said, "Leaders don't create followers, they create more leaders." Aspiring to be a great leader someday, I continue to refine my leadership ability by building a culture where I empower the educators around me to inspire our students' individualized learning opportunities. I want to provide the educators with the technology and curriculum tools that will advance learning to meet the diverse learning needs of our students (ISTE-EL, 3.d., 2018).
I want to model what it means to be a great leader by making sure that our students have educators that are skilled with effective technology tools to ensure it meets the needs of student learning (ISTE-EL, 1.a., 2018). This starts at the top by modeling the effective use of technology plus the ethical and legal use of technology (ISTE-EL, 3.d., 2018). Another important measure for building great leadership would be to regularly engage in professional development and mentor educators on the impact of technology to the classroom based on sound pedagogical practices and integration of technology (ISTE-EL, 5.b., 2018).
