I BELIEVE EDUCATION IS THE MOST VALUABLE GIFT THAT I CAN GIVE STUDENTS. IN ADDITION TO THE SKILLS LIKE CRITICAL THINKING, RESEARCHING EVIDENCE, COLLABORATION, BUILDING CONCRETE BELIEFS AND CREATING INDEPENDENT LEARNERS, I BELIEVE THAT EACH STUDENT MATTERS. HOW I AS A TEACHER AND PERSON TREAT MY STUDENTS, MATTERS. STUDENTS MUST HAVE A VOICE IN THEIR LEARNING AND ASPIRATIONS. I KNOW THAT NOT ALL STUDENTS ARE GOING TO BECOME HISTORIANS, EVEN THOUGH I TRY HARD IN CLASS, BUT I DO KNOW THAT ALL STUDENTS ARE A PART OF THIS DYNAMIC WORLD THAT THEY MUST NAVIGATE THROUGH. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT STUDENTS LEARN SKILLS THAT MAKE THEM SUCCESSFUL LIKE READING, WRITING AND MATHEMATICS. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT LIMITED TO JUST KNOWING THESE SUBJECTS, BUT EMPOWER THEM WITH HABITS THAT KEEP THEM GOING WHEN IT IS DIFFICULT AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE LEARNING BEGINS WHEN IT GETS CHALLENGING.

Joanna, I appreciate and agree with your overall leadership platform. I really like the fact that you pointed out the need for each student to have and develop an individual voice. Things that I'm reflecting on in regards to my own platform are how do we make this platform real? I'm thinking about the necessary steps involved to influence others to think in a like, but collaborative manner. As potential leaders of a school or district, how do we recruit and retain like-minded individuals who will continue the development of the platform and make it a reality? Just some ideas to consider as we move forward with the development of this platform. On a last note, it would be worth going through and proofreading your post and making a few adjustments;) I had to do the same.
