Orientation Week 2 Reflection

• What are your expectations for this program? What do you hope to accomplish?

• Now that you have a good sense of the types of online activities and the rhythms of an active participant, what steps will you take to be successful in this program?

• Where do you still need additional support to be successful

During this next year, I am hoping to learn the ins and outs of school administration. Although, I get a small taste of some of the roles and responsibilities of the administrators in my building, I would like to get the full picture of the when, the why, and the how of situations that most administrators deal with daily. I feel that this complete picture will allow me to truly understand how to balance the demands of the teachers, the school district, the students, and their parents and the best approaches to dealing with all of them.


I will definitely schedule "study time" so that I can truly devote myself to the courses. It is easy to put off the activities because you always think you have enough time to finish them, but time flies quickly. Being able to stay on top of deadlines by using tools such as Outlook or Google Calendar and spreading out readings and activities throughout each week will definitely lead to doing well in this program. Also printing and/or saving the activities definitely help refresh your memory.


Currently, I do not need any additional support at this time, unless the program offers free babysitting while I get my work done (just kidding...that is a great idea though). I am focused and excited to be in this program and committed to really try to be in the moment when learning new things so I can definitely become a reflective practitioner and perfect my craft.
