A building-level education leader applies knowledge that promotes the success of every student by collaborating with faculty and community members, responding to diverse community interests and needs, and mobilizing community resources on behalf of the school by collecting and analyzing information pertinent to improvement of the school’s educational environment; promoting an understanding, appreciation, and use of the diverse cultural, social, and intellectual resources within the school community; building and sustaining positive school relationships with families and caregivers; and cultivating productive school relationships with community partners.
Reflective Statement
Establishing positive relationships with all members of the school community helps to establish a dialog with all school stakeholders whenever the need arises. This makes it possible to solve problems seemingly instantaneously, as the network of relationships has already been built. Most importantly, building a relationship with staff members allows them to open up and discuss their thoughts and feelings without fear of repercussions.
