In the space below, please write your written reflection, indicating areas of needed
emphasis, growth, and improvement (the space will expand as you type):
According to the survey results, it appears an area of strength is Standard 5. My current position I
think lends itself to these higher scores. I am continually providing PD to science teachers and
allowing them time to engage in content to ensure success for all students. Teachers constantly
inform me how important and meaningful this is to them and is something to keep in mind as a
district leader.
According to the survey results, an area of needed emphasis is on Standard 3. I need to continue
to grow with the district's operations. There are so many components that go into the operation
that I need to continue learning. As a leader in the district, it's important to know as much as
possible to help all constituents within the community. I think it is also wise to know who can help
with these operations and let them be the expert. An administrator can't be an expert at
everything, but should be able to delegate tasks with confidence to those who have the
knowledge and learn from them.
I would like to improve with Standard 1 to learn how to focus and make sure everything the
district does aligns to the vision and is best for the community and students. I can almost see
myself digging deep with the mission and making sure all members involved know what the
mission is as well. Hopefully, this leads to improved decisions for the community as a whole.
I would like to improve with Standard 6 as well. Most of the lower scores are do to the fact that I
don't engage and facilitate the activities associated with these indicators. From this lack of
15
participation, I don't feel like my self-mastery of the indicators is that high either. During the
snapshot of my internship, I participated in few community activities but didn't know the extent of
all activities or how much influence a school district has on the community or vice versa.
In the space below, generate four self-improvement goals to be undertaken during this
degree program. Each goal is to include the following:
A goal statement and its relationship to one or more of the ISLLC Standards
Anticipated activities that will lead to the accomplishment of the goal
Evidence that will demonstrate attainment of the goal
Targeted date of completion for the goal
1. I will strive to have a better understanding of the political, legal and cultural context of our
regional school system by attending the CABOCES area meetings for administrators. The legal
context of education and the districts is often discussed here.
Completion Date: July 1, 2019
Evidence: EDL Assignments and Daily Logs
2. I will engage in opportunities that foster cultural difference within CABOCES and the
community. Both Cattaraugus and Allegany County are not very diverse and it is challenging to
develop an exemplary understanding of Standard 6. In order to experience a more culturally
diverse opportunity, I will engage in partnerships with various community organizations, also
addressing Standard 4.
Completion Date: July 1, 2019
Evidence: Daily Logs and Request for Proposal
3. I will work to increase the level of communication regarding within the CABOCES community
on trends, issues, and potential changes in Regional Scoring. I will accomplish this by keeping in
constant contact with districts, ISS employees, and ISS program managers, addressing
Standards 2 and 3.
Completion Date: July 1, 2019
Evidence: Daily Logs and Scoring Policy Updates
4. I will actively participate in the political and policy-making context in the service of NYS to learn
more about changes, updates, and policies within the realm of Regional Scoring.
