My definition of leadership has certainly been reinforced during this class. I understand better than ever that being a leader, both administrative and teacher, involves being a courageous change maker. Not only are leaders instrumental in spearheading change, but they must be politically savvy and knowledgeable enough to facilitate the change process successfully. The Change Game was a fantastic way to re-enact how education initiatives are played out. I mustered up even more respect for the delicate balance that leaders have to maintain.
Our textbook expresses the about "improving education from within". I very much agree that this notion should be a large part of the solution plan, although there are other factors that contribute to the success and failure of education. My contribution is to participate in needed change, be a team player, and lend my strengths where needed.
