Leadership, Collaboration and Community

What does leadership, collaboration and community mean?
It is how I:

• Communicate in a positive manner with staff, students, and community
• Apply effective collaboration and communication strategies in planning and group decision-making within teams, departments, and committee to create and sustain learning communities in my classroom and school
• Work with other professionals, parents, and members of the community to enhance pupil learning, pupil achievement, and school programs
• Empower students to have a voice pertaining to classroom standards, rules and consequences
•  Actively look for and create additional opportunities to demonstrate independence and responsibility (i.e. student jobs in the classroom, eliciting and promoting students to help and care or the school environment)
• Actively create opportunities for students to demonstrate compassion, responsibility, and respect
