5399 Week One Part 2

Position Goal

The position that I would like to ultimately pursue is that of the superintendent.  I just moved to a larger district and find that there are more positions such as directors and assistant superintendents that I can pursue within the next 5-8 years.  I am currently the principal at an elementary campus and would love to move to middle school or high school to gain that experience.  I think that the superintendent needs to see all levels in order to understand the nature of a vertically aligned district.  I know that as young as I am I need all of the experience that I can get in other positions to become a better superintendent.  I would love to one teach teachers or principals at the university level and share with them my experiences as I have had the fortune  of working with professors who have helped me learn through their experiences.


Leadership Goal
I want to lead because I have a passion for making progress in public education.  I have a drive and desire to lead a campus and a district to preparing students to enter into the world with success and knowledge that will allow them to make a difference.  I want to accomplish momentum for my campus and district that moves forward.  The educational needs that underlie my motivation are that I never settle for status quo or complacency.  Our students deserve better than that.  My personal needs that underlie my motivation to lead is that I wake up every morning and I am excited to go to work. I lay my head on my pillow at night with no regrets.  My career is what I was meant to do.  The internship has truly allowed me to become a better principal and see things one a larger scale to help my district be more successful.
