For the principal too, this method helps him improve his relationship with staff and the atmosphere has a positive impact on students and parents where a harmonious school atmosphere is created instead of one that represents fragmentation. In all ways, then, my experiences within this leadership-cycle has only been positive.

Goals in the next five years that relate to instructional leadership

Instructional leaders need to know what is going on in the classroom. I intend to walk around the students inconspicuously picking up observations of the way that they perceive their classroom teaching and unobtrusively picking up information regarding classroom content. I also intend to make an unobtrusive survey of textbooks and material taught in the classroom. I will inconspicuously interweave my observations in the meetings in a manner that teachers do not feel threatened.

I also intend to make these...

In this way, teachers will feel more free to express their views and the style of the meeting will be more relaxed and on a collegiate atmosphere rather than in an hierarchal manner.
I intend to work closely with both teachers and students in order to address instructional issues from both of their perspective. I also intend to implement a method where teachers will be more acknowledged and appreciated for their jobs. I intend to design programs and activities on instruction, and finally I intend to work on improving my communication and impart a firm message of my conviction that all children can learn and that no child will be left behind.
