In Module 1, we introduced ourselves and who we believed was a leader in our lives. We also shared what we think leadership is and how it can be used in education.

When it came to references there wasn't much of a need for many, but there was one article that helped to tie my whole presentation together from Professional School Counseling.

In Module 2, we took an Emotional Intelligence Assessment to see how we essentially work as a leader. Our qualities were determined by: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. We had to determine how our scores would translate to our professional roles in education.

In Module 3, we had to make a multimedia presentation about leadership theories. We had to choose two and discuss how those theories compared and contrasted with each other. For my presentation I chose Charismatic and Servant leadership styles.

In Module 4, we discussed current events or issues that are affecting education. We had to perform a case study to determine the problem, who's at stake, what can be done to solve the problem, and what impact it has on education.

For my case study I chose teacher retainment in urban areas because of the alarming rates that teachers are quitting and non-qualified teachers are getting hired.

In Module 5, we had to interview an educational leader that we thought exhibited all the proper behaviors of a great leader.

For my interview I went with my former high school coach, Rodney Lewis. I chose him because he has exuded leadership since the first day I met him and just continued to climb higher everyday.

We also had to determine the difference between a manager and a leader.
