Article 1: Below is a link to a KWL Chart. The chart is a leadership reflection to allow candidates to focus on core values, mission, and personal improvement. I completed this during a course at Drake that allowed me to analyze data and maximize my capacity to engage in growth. I used this chart at the beginning of graduate school to allow me to open my mind to the things that I needed to learn more about. This was one of my first introductions to systems thinking and allowing myself to become informed about how/why things need to be studied, revisited, and then potentially edited.

Article 2: Below is a link to my FBLA Project centered around creating professional development by using your district's mission and vision plan. It is important to get your team invested on a mission/vision that guides everyone to a common goal. Being a leader means uniting, even when others may have different ideas or viewpoints. Imbedding and living out your district's mission is very important. This presentation helps simulate a PD that allows for staff to refocus on what your district goals are through team building exercises.
