Tier 1: (2015-2016)
In my Past 2 Assignments of Assistant Principal at OUSD and LUSD:
At OUSD: (in my first 2 years)
I was heavily involved in the day-to-day operations as they relate to students and faculty for example field trips,may require the oversight of an assistant principal.
In addition to handling such activities, duties including conducting and mediating after-school meetings with parents and managing school detentions can mean the workday of an assistant principal fluctuates considerably and often.
Monitoring staff members on goal progress and achievement has become even more imperative.
Assistant principals must often share the duties of evaluating and documenting staff performance with the principal. Annual evaluations of proficiency and goal accomplishment, charting progress and offering feedback to staff members.
Mentor to teachers who need guidance or direction and also provides reinforcement and praise to those who meet or exceed expectations.
Many people are familiar with the role of an assistant principal as a disciplinarian. Certainly, there may be days when an assistant principal’s schedule is filled with investigations, inquiries and phone calls to concerned or upset parents. Some students may need to be consoled; others may need to be disciplined.

and my completed Induction Plan for the Administrative Credential.
In my current Assistant Principal Role at LUSD.
I find that my role has deepened in Lake County, CA.
I hold extra job responsibilities that are not only site specific but have implications for the district.
In my past OUSD Admin. AP role my Goals focused on:
Dimensions of Goals: II & III
Elements of Dimensions II & III
Step 2 is my Goal.
My goals supports movement toward my Site Plan focus goals and equitable outcomes for the community I serve because I believe our Theory of Action: “We build authentic engagement to eliminate intellectual apartheid and ensure students master cognitive skills.”; intertwined with our Mission needs leadership that has a visionary aspect and intentionality behind it. Our community suffers from deep divides in learning achievement and in order to achieve closing this gap productive collaboration and is mandatory to produce results.
I will use my current strengths of being sensitive and efficient with deadlines to not only balance the emotional needs of staff but the need to have leadership with integrity. I am authentic when I engage coaching or facilitation of teams and I continually put trust at the forefront of learning conversations.
Given my role in communicating information among students, teachers and parents, assistant principals must be socially skilled and capable of maintaining calm and reason even in the most tense of situations.
The Essential Question:
As a school site's educational leader, what components do you believe are the most essential to maximizing academic success for all students and how would you facilitate their implementation?
I truly believe in all organizations that Mindset is critical. Excellence is not just given it is crafted and fostered through buy in by all educators on a school site. From classified staff to certified, all team members must be influenced by a school's philosophy in which the school is their community that they have ownership in.
Through this mentality choices are made in leadership, classrooms and administration that holds students at center of all decisions. As this becomes the model of engagement the same expectations translate into the classroom and in relations with families.
I have facilitated excellence in my classroom and an administrator in Urban and Suburban areas. I have always believed in modeling leadership by pushing yourself to grow and learn with your families, colleagues and students.
This is never so needed in our new age of Common Core and the shifts needed to excel past "proficient".
I am inspired by the call of this excellence in education. This mindset and the belief of excellence in the name of students is how I would facilitate and maintain academic success.
