Additional Module 2 Comments...

Marlisa : “She took on a democratic leadership style-allowing us (the students) to participate and give feedback.” 

Mary Jo:  The outcome of a leadership style that allows students to participate and take charge of their own learning (with support) is a great example of why students need professional development too.  If you haven’t read the link I posted on this blog, please take the time to read, “Don’t forget Professional Development for Students”.

Marlisa: “Improving upon these qualities will enhance my level of trustworthiness with colleagues as well. I will strive to be the person that people look up to and professionally admire. 

Mary Jo:  Many of us continue to strive to grow professionally, and the striving part can be what others actually use to determine trustworthiness.  In my opinion, some teachers feel they must do something elaborate to be recognized as a leader, therefore they don’t consider themselves leaders.  Competency, consistency and a positive attitude carries a lot of weight.

Michael:Finally, this teacher was not only constantly working on improving his student's craft, but he was also dedicated in improving the arts of all areas of Southern West Virginia. 

Mary Jo:  This is a great example of how professional development/growth must occur in the classroom and outside of the classroom environment(community).  Also, when a teacher has a vision for students to be part of a better environment, then persistence is a major factor to success.

Michael:  “I believe that being a role model starts with the individual example and explaining to others how hard they should work should start with myself.”


Mary Jo:  Admirable and realistic.  When leadership is shared it becomes more of an ongoing process throughout the workplace, instead of one person being viewed as “the leader”.
