Career and Leadership Goals


CAREER GOALS

            As of this writing, I am not certain of my ultimate career goal, other than to say that I want to be in a leadership role within the school system. I am currently a principal and desire to move into a position that can influence the entire district. I enjoy the human resources department as I feel it is a strength for me and I feel that it is very important to find the right fit in a school system to ensure that our students get the very best educators available to them.

            I am also considering the position of an assistant superintendent to assist in running the school district before taking on the role of superintendent, if that opportunity became available to me.  I believe it is necessary to become at the very least exposed to various positions in central leadership to truly understand the dynamics of leading a school district.

LEADERSHIP GOALS

I originally became a school administrator because I believed I could make a difference in the school settings and at least in part assist in developing teachers to become better which would ultimately lead to student success. I still feel that way today and is the reason I continue to pursue higher leadership roles and education.

I hope to eventually achieve a district leadership role that will enable me to truly influence a district and perhaps a community as this is a very exciting time in Texas public education. Changes must occur in our school districts to truly engage our students and I hope I can influence that change.

The education needs related to the superintendency is vast and I know I cannot learn and achieve all the skills and knowledge from this class to prepare me for every situation that may arise, but from the internship, I feel that I have a good foundation for the position. The personal needs that underlie my motivation is the desire to do something with my life that truly matters and hopefully leaving a legacy that my children can be proud of.
