1.2. Reflection Paper- Who is the Leader?
Read
Developing and Administering a Child Care and Education Program, Chapter 1
Submission Guidelines
This is an informal reflection designed to help you get clarification on the video-Linda Cliatt-Wayman’s first day as a principal you have reviewed earlier. To begin your reflection, select the submit button, and type your entry into the edit window.
Submission Instructions
Before viewing the video, you were instructed to take note of Linda’s 3 principles/ slogans.
You can make a list of all the things she did by using
Unit 2.1 Template for taking notes while watching this video.
The 3 principles/ slogans of Linda Cliatt-Wayman were
If you are going to lead, LEAD
So what, Now what?
If nobody told them that they loved them, remember we do and we always will.
What was the problem?
Which Slogan was used?
What was the action plan?
You will use these columns in your 2.3 assignment too. So save this for future use.
If you need more space insert more lines to expand the chart. This assignment though ungraded will prepare you for what you will about to embark on.
This template is to aid you.
In this assignment
You are to write a reflection of what you have learned (2 paragraphs of 5-7 sentences each) and
How you can apply this to your current or future situation if you are the Director or principal of a school. (2 paragraphs of 5-7 sentences each).
Examples of the questions/ starters that can help you going might be:
Will you have slogans to help you focus on the task at hand?
What thoughts came to mind as you hear of the boldness of this leader?
She sounded very ….. I hoped to….
I liked the way ….. I am determined to…..
Grading
Reflections are meant to be an opportunity for you to self-assess. Though I will respond to your reflections and to any questions you may ask, there is no “right” or “wrong” answer to a reflection. For this reason, reflections are marked as either Complete or Incomplete.
Reflection and self-assessment are important components of learning. Thoughtful reflections that seriously consider the prompt will receive full points, while cursory answers or late work may be docked points, but will still be marked as complete. A reflection with not submitted at all will be incomplete.
The rubric below will be applied when your assignment is graded. If you’re reviewing this assignment using the Canvas mobile app, the rubric is included in the Grade tab.
