What is an example of how your leadership style is developing and evolving as you continue to work in your practicum setting?
As I progress in my practicum, I’ve noticed a shift in my mindset from advocating for student learning to advocating for teacher growth. Establishing trust and collaboration is pivotal in this process, ensuring that teachers feel supported as they integrate new technology into their daily procedures.
For example, I recently designed a technology-based assignment to end a unit with my students using a self-assessment via Google Forms to help them evaluate their work. While analyzing their responses, I began to consider how a self-assessment could also benefit teachers. What technology tools or skills might teachers need support with, and how could a self-assessment tool help identify and address those needs coherently?
By implementing effective, sustainable, and purposeful change in technology usage, I aim to provide teachers with the tools necessary to thrive in a highly digital age. Through these endeavors, I hope to advocate and foster collaboration among educators, ensuring that technology is not a fool's errand but a shared and organized initiative.

I could improve my leadership by gaining a deeper understanding of my campus's technology infrastructure, as identified in the Office of Educational Technology Survey. For example, I can ensure technological consistency while exploring the hardware and software available within the district.
To enhance this effort, building relationships with technology personnel can assist with making enhancements or updates to optimize their use. Collaborating with technology personnel will help me analyze current systems and how they can be enhanced for effective usage.

As a technology leader, my primary purpose is to ensure the consistency and support needed to prepare learners for success in a highly digital age. This mission begins with establishing trust and collaboration as the foundation for new heights of innovation. By demonstrating leadership consistency, empathy, and accountability, I cultivate a workplace culture that thrives on strong relationships, effective communication, and meaningful progress.
