[Ous-lp-rp13] EDAD 6010 Answer Question #3

[Gamon, Angelica]

*I think that it is very important to look at the characteristics that make
up the behaviors to be a successful administrator. Knowing what
characteristics I need to work on to help myself become the administrator
that I strive to be. Task-oriented behaviors- I feel that I need to make
sure that I keep my organizational skills on track to complete the given
goal. As well as clarifying roles. I know that there are some things that I
will need to do that will need the help of others, I know that I need to
ask for help from others if I am not able to complete the task in a timely
manner. I know with the principal that I have now, he will delegate things
to the staff. Such as the Success by Six program that we have during the
summer. This program is a funded through the United Way. We have been lucky
enough to have this program for the past three summers. This program is for
students entering kindergarten, it is a jump start program to get them
ready for entering kindergarten. I have taught every year that we have had
this program. He has let me handle the aspects of the program but at the
same time he monitors the program and makes any changes that is necessary.
I know that when I am in his role, I will need to do some of the same
things. Relations-oriented behaviors- I feel this is very important to have
in a school district. I feel that every teacher should be involved in their
TBT meetings. In our grade level, we as a grade level do the same amount of
work when it comes to the tasks that we are given. We work very well
together, we each know our strengths and weaknesses. When it comes to the
task that one of us is the strongest in, we complete that task with the
guidance of our group. I have worked in two different grade levels and this
is something that I have always said about our kindergarten group of
teachers, we all work very well together. I would love to see this in every
grade level. I know that there are some grade levels that is very hard to
work together. I would want to try to make that smoother for them. I think
in order to be completely successful, you have to work together.
Change-oriented behaviors- I think this is something that I really need to
work on and I see it a lot within our district. I am not good with change.
I like to know what to expect and it is hard for me to see the bigger
picture at times. Change is not always negative but I think that it is hard
to see that when you are set in your way of doing things. The past couple
of years have been full of changes for our district. We eliminated a
computer program, started a new computer program, wrote SLO’s for the first
time. Now we are changing principals, starting two more computer programs.
It seems overwhelming at times. Even with the first set of changes, the end
result ended up being positive. I need to stay positive and know the reason
for the changes are for the better. *
