Always Learning

As an educator and future school leader, I believe that seeking out learning opportunities and keeping an open mind is essential to creating a better school system. By modeling this behavior I hope to serve as a model for both students and staff.

Wallace Leadership Fellow

After completing my Master's in Educational Leadership and earning my SBL from the College of St. Rose, I applied and was accepted into the Wallace Fellows Leadership Program. Wallace is a selective program offered by the NYC DOE's Office of Leadership to teachers who are ready to become assistant principals. Wallace has helped me strengthen my leadership skills in the following areas:

conducting collaborative teacher feedback cycles
communicating in a way that minimizes defensiveness and invites the other person in
identifying systems of inequity and leading change initiatives by empowering staff, the community and students
building a strong professional network

Additional Professional Learning

Education is an always-changing field and it is important that we stay up to date. In order to best serve my school community, I have to constantly reflect on my own practices and mindset and be open to change and learning. With a busy professional and personal life, it can be challenging to stay up to date on all the new research and best practices. Here are some examples of how I stay informed.

Virtual AP Leadership Academy

I follow Principal Kafele on social media and watch his AP Leadership videos on YouTube.

Marshall Memo

The Marhsall Memo is a weekly newsletter written by educational leader, Kim Marshall. I had the pleasure of meeting him in person at an educational conference.

12th & 13th National SAM Leadership Conference

I attended the 12th and 13th National SAM Leadership Conference with my former principal and other district leaders. It offered me a wonderful opportunity to learn from current educational leaders.

Social Media

I'm a member of leadership groups.

Books

Through the Wallace Fellows Program and work with my school leaders, I've become familiar with books on culturally responsive teaching and leading for equity.

CITE Workshops

As a CITE alumna, I regularly attend workshops offered by the program and network with superintendents, principals, teachers.
