Personal Leadership Style Statement

By Anonymous
My personal leadership style is one of empowerment.  I believe that as a leader, to be effective, I must be deeply involved with the change, programs, and culture that I am seeking to engender in my organization.  By experimenting with new technologies, systems, and teaching methods in my own practice I embody the “Continual Learning” atmosphere that I believe is necessary to create in order for all stakeholders to feel fulfilled in the work that they contribute to our community.

I understand that all new ideas or teaching practices are not going to be perfect or even effective, but it is the pursuit of personal and professional betterment that I have seen to be the outstanding trait of highly successful schools.  It is my strong belief that employees have an inherent desire to work towards excellence and contribute to the community.  When individuals are respected for their contributions and are in an environment where they are free to express their ideas, the school will thrive.  I am committed to understanding what motivates individual teachers and then providing them with the inspiration, space, and means with which they can find their best professional selves.  I get great joy out of helping others bring their passions into their teaching practice.

Negotiation in the Smartphone Battles: Apple v. Samsung Maria Voicu Tim Wilson Kelsey Giroux Ross Ferris Endicott College For the past four years, Apple and Samsung have been the key players of an unprecedented legal war.

Disputes over patents, technology, and innovation cost both companies tens of millions, spanned four continents, and five years later has seen little resolution.

Scientific Inquiry Method Assignment

By Anonymous
Assignment 1: Scientific Inquiry Method My school is a PYP school which, by design, focuses on promoting students’ inquiry and developing strategies for them to follow their own inquiries.  In, what we call PYP 6 (third grade), the unit this term is “ Energy is fundamental to our daily lives”, which carries through to all of the students’ learning experiences including those in physical education class.  The head of PE asked me if I had any ideas on how they could explore the concept of energy within their PE classes (I used to teach PE so he often asks my input).  After talking through a few ideas I thought, wow this would be a perfect opportunity to develop this unit and the process of getting to the learning objectives using the scientific inquiry method.             There are two learning objectives that we are going to focus on.  By the end of the unit students will understand the concepts of: § ...

Personal Work Negotiation Plan

By Anonymous
Personal Work Negotiation Plan Tim Wilson At my school, St. Francis College in São Paulo Brazil, I am currently the educational technology integration specialist.   I have been asked, by the heads of school, to provide some professional development sessions on technology, namely Google Apps, for teaching staff.   We have traditionally not done a whole lot of professional development for our staff and more so have never tracked professional development other than who has completed the required IB training.   What I am proposing is that I become the person in charge of all professional development.   I think it would be beneficial to centralize the listing of what professional development individual teachers have attended or undertaken so that t he rest of the teaching community can benefit from their learning.   The school is also pushing hard for teachers to work in transdisciplinary units.   With the overview of the teachers’ interests and str...
