Video Reflections
First Reflection as DPLA Fellow
A major component to the Durham Principal Leadership Academy is self-reflection. Over the course of our program, fellows have been asked to create several self-reflection videos. This video is the first reflection into my journey a school leader. In it, I speak about "giving myself permission to be great." Early in the program, I struggled with self confidence and allowed my weaknesses overcome my strengths. Throughout the program, I worked diligently and reflected regularly on the concept of "permission to be great." As I approach graduation, I feel that I have made tremendous growth in this area and feel that my experience through DPLA has prepared me for the work. |

Formative Growth Assessment- November 2017

Teaching As Modeling Reflection
As a school leader you are the principal teacher and primary instructional leader. Growing the capacity of teachers is one of the most important roles we play. As such, one of the major assignments DPLA fellows were tasked with was choosing a classroom, meeting with the teacher and modeling a method of teaching to help grow their capacity. For this project, I worked with Miss Hickey, a fourth grade teacher at Parkwood Elementary. The lesson I modeled was centered around formative assessment and instant student feedback. During the lesson I modeled the use of Plickers. |
