I hope to learn skills and strategies that will allow me to effectively lead teams and push fellow educators to becoming their best versions. Also, I want to make sure I am reflective in my practices so that I can adjust and have the focus of what is best for our students.

As a whole, I believe we have lost the art of communicating. I think we have to start working with our students and with each other to build effective communication skills. Technology and social media are the present, so we have to embrace it and find solutions to foster positive experiences. I believe this course can allow for us to open up a dialogue that needs to be addressed so we can be effective school leaders. It starts with us and leading by example- listen to understand.

I will impact student success, family involvement, and teacher growth by open communication, continuing to learn, and building positive relationships. (Standard 3)

I believe my fellow MED 5313 colleagues know that I have been teaching in Lockhart the past four years and I have truly enjoyed it. However, I don't think I have ever talked to them about coaching volleyball and basketball. I haven't coach in a while, but I would love to go back to it.

My husband and I LOVE to travel to small towns on the weekends. It is our favorite thing to do! We always meet the most interesting people and eat amazing food. Our next trip will be to Salado, TX!

I just graduated from The Holdsworth Center which was a two year leadership program! I learned a lot about myself and what it takes to be a successful leader/coach. The experience was enlightening because I realized I have much to learn, but I am excited for the work that lies ahead.
