  1. Hello and welcome.
  2. My name is Jasmine Griffin and today I will
  3. be recording a presentation for my educational leadership portfolio.
  4. To begin,
  5. I currently hold the position of director of curriculum and instruction
  6. and I am also a doctoral student of educational leadership at King University.
  7. To begin my presentation,
  8. I would like to share what my style of leadership is
  9. as an educational leader.
  10. I understand that leadership should be horizontal,
  11. allowing for as much collaboration on decision making as possible.
  12. I firmly believe that
  13. creating leadership opportunities for employees is extremely important.
  14. It's also important to shift and maintain positive mindsets and motivate
  15. everyone to strive to be the best professional that they can be
  16. in certain areas. I believe that change should happen quickly
  17. rather than slowly
  18. initiatives and plans will take time to be implemented.
  19. However,
  20. organizational shifts and change thinking should be an ongoing
  21. in cyclical process that school leaders and administrators tackle everyday
  22. through transformational and distributed leadership style.
  23. I hope to create a learning environment that is conducive and both
  24. great teaching and learning
  25. to continue. I'd like to discuss my philosophy of education
  26. at the core of my philosophy is seeing into a student's world and
  27. shaping his or her educational experience around
  28. making the tools needed for that student
  29. to be a productive and well informed citizen accessible
  30. through evidence based decision making.
  31. Educational leaders must empower teachers, parents,
  32. students and other stakeholders to embrace
  33. and develop innovative initiatives that helped
  34. to create safe nurturing learning environments for both students and employees.
  35. I seek to work collectively with key stakeholders to establish and
  36. sustain learning communities that address the needs of the whole child.
  37. School leaders must also consider the inclusive
  38. inclusivity of all marginalized populations of students in an effort
  39. to improve and enhance the educational experience of all students.
  40. to quote m. p. b. e. A. 2015
  41. lead with interpersonal and communication skills,
  42. social emotional insight and understanding of all students and staff members,
  43. backgrounds and cultures.
  44. This can be best done in a school community
  45. that embraces the use of both qualitative and quantitative data
  46. to problem solve.
  47. It is equally as important to nurture and develop the professional
  48. growth of instructional and support staff as well as maintain collaborative,
  49. transparent,
  50. supportive and healthy communication in order to achieve the common goal of
  51. positively impacting the lives of students and families who rely on us.
  52. Next,
  53. I will move on to my internship abstract which will give you an overview of um some
  54. of the challenges and obstacles as well as pros
  55. that were experienced during my internship this semester.
  56. Um This semester I utilized the matrix task to expand
  57. on my knowledge of um effectively leading um an organization,
  58. many of the tests that we're highlighting um that
  59. that I highlighted in my work this semester focused
  60. on um creating improvement plans and uh documents and
  61. reviewing other school documents to provide recommendations and feedback.
  62. Um It called for an evaluation and analysis of many different documents,
  63. some um that did not exist um
  64. or some that were in major need of revision and review.
  65. A major takeaway from my internship this semester um is
  66. the importance of districts um and schools to develop,
  67. review and continuously revise important district documents um
  68. or or improvement plans in different areas.
  69. The major barrier that I had to overcome was documents and information
  70. uh either not being available or in some cases not being made accessible.
  71. Some data that should have been um available was not um which
  72. left some holes in my ability to develop an action plan,
  73. um improvements and other documents for future use.
  74. The highlight of the internship is that it helped me to identify
  75. um plans and information that school
  76. administrators should work collaboratively on developing
  77. um and also identifying areas and documents and information that should be
  78. made readily accessible for key stakeholders in a transparent and open manner
