Reflection
This process opened my eyes to the
four distinct views within a school
district. I now view school related
issues through: human resources,
structural, political, and symbolic
frames.
The chapter opened my eyes to the
importance of conflict, and it can be
constructive if done it the right way.
Establishing group norms to hold
group members accountable to the
organization.
This exercise showed me the
importance of shared leadership.
Professional development lead by
staff is the most effective, and
provides clarity to issues that are
relevant to the staff.

This presentation forced us to look at

who we were marketing our district to.
We then created a targeted presentation
to our future customers on why our
district would be a good fit for their
child and family. I truly enjoyed this

Student apathy was the issue I was
intrigued in. The assignment allowed
me to look at all the possible factors in
addressing the issue. The paper
allowed me to identify, create a plan,
and implement that plan for the issue I

As a district we were reading Closing
Statement the Attitude Gap By. Kafele. We were
charged with the task of answering
three questions that were guided as our
purpose as an educator. The three
questions looked at who you are, what
you are about, and what evidence do
you have to support your claims. My
