Leadership and Collaboration

Leslie Walker - Secondary English

A teacher reaches out to help learners, families, and others work together in growing the student’s mind and their own work and learning.

For a teacher to be a leader, they must first learn. After learning, they pass these skills to their students. They include using the 4 C’s, which will help themselves and students in daily life. Leaders still push to know and understand more, but they wants others to see their potential in the outcome. 

Artifacts:
1.) If conflict occurs, do not blame the child in front of the class I will contact outside of class, contact family, or contact the higher authority, depending on how serious the situation is. For example, if a child is throwing paper around the room, I would simply ask them to stop. If it keeps occurring, I will then seek the necessary company to help the situation stop. 

This photo may be a little cheesy, but it follows the guidelines that need to be taken when someone is facing conflict. I will use these as a guide for my own way of resolving issues in my class. (received from https://www.pinterest.com/pin/116601077827959523/)

2.) I will students how to be a leader by helping others, discovering and sharing, etc. For example, when another teacher needs me to watch their class for a moment, I will. My students will see that helping someone is important. If I see that a student enjoys drawing, I will include drawing material in the plans; this show the discover of other’s talents and allowing them to use them in their studying field.

3.) I cannot stress this enough: small group work is a huge part of leadership and collaboration. I never did enough of it, and now I am paying the price. With this, students will learn how to think on their own, listen to other’s ideas, and partake in discussions. 

Here is an example of group discussion!
