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.

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: § ...

Change Paper 2 Design Thinking

By
Developing a School Culture Around Design Thinking The tides of a paradigm shift in education are on the shore.  It is imperative that we prepare our learners to be confident in their abilities to adapt to a rapidly changing world. To instill an innovator’s mindset into all that we do. To get to this point, though, we must create systems of thought and actions that support our values. It is our mission “to inspire students to reach their highest level of personal and academic fulfillment.  To reach that goal, we are not afraid to chart a different path if we believe it will clearly benefit our students.” Innovation does not come from new ideas that suddenly pop into your head, but from ideas that are developed, tested, questioned, and reworked.  To best support this innovative mindset, we will be working on integrating the theories and practices of Design Thinking in all aspects of what we do here at Alcuin.  It is not our aim to change the role of the teacher i...
