A Principal's Reflections

If I was graded I would have probably received an A for running my school where strict rules had to be followed by students, mobile devices banned, and all social media blocked.

During my tenure I not only worked to improve every facet of the school, but I also became a connected educator in 2009. My sole purpose for harnessing and leveraging social media was to engage in conversations with like-minded educators and leaders to improve professional practice. This was the turning point for me.

When I began to develop a shared vision and strategic plan for change with my staff back in 2009 I referred to the Katgar Model of Change. As Antoni Cimolino states, “There is something to be learned every day, both by looking in the mirror at yourself and by looking at the people around you.”
