5. EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP is a term applied to school administrations that strive to create positive change in educational policy and processes.

7. Philosophy is "the rational investigation of the truths and principles of being, knowledge or conduct." Philosophy is the attainment of an integrated, comprehensive view of life, of vital importance. Furthermore, "values, ethics and virtues are actually secondary..." to the absolute necessity to couch these attributes within a personal philosophy.

13. IN SUMMARY: Building relationships, developing leadership, and focusing on school as the “hub” of our community, we are more likely to create an environment where our students are building a bright future both today and tomorrow. By looking at what worked in the past while also looking to develop our future, our community is more likely to be able to come together to create the schools our kids need.

14. CONCLUSION: As a leader, I believe in bringing a community together to share leadership in many different avenues. In a quote from Tom Peters, he states that “leaders don’t create followers, they create more leaders. In a school community, this starts at the top in working with others to develop their leadership in every position and level of school. By focusing on an individual’s strengths, you show that you value their expertise first, before you look to help them develop in other areas.

15. This strength-based focus helps to build a relationship with each individual, pushing them to be better every day. When the leader of an organization has this belief and proves it through actions, it trickles down to students in the classroom. The more experience I have in leadership, the more I see that effective teachers are effective leaders, and have this same strength-based approach with their students. If we have a community that focus on building leadership in all areas, we are more likely to be successful within our vision.

16. Through this value on developing leadership, our schools are more open not only to navigate but to lead change as well. As society continues to change, schools need to adapt to best serve our students for their future as well as their present. Those that are willing to adapt and learn from change now, will be the ones that are most likely to be successful in the future.

17. As we see different jobs being created in our world, while other jobs are becoming irrelevant, we look to develop the next generation of entrepreneurs in schools. This is often created by instilling a sense of “entrepreneurial spirit” within educators that are always looking to develop and further the organization. While we look and build on what has worked in the past, we must also continuously look forward.
