emphasis, growth, and improvement (the space will expand as you type):
The areas where I found I need to grow include the fiscal area, working with outside agencies
such as the public or policy making law-makers and analyzing data for student growth. The
classes I am currently taking include finance and curriculum so I am in the process of learning
skills necessary to feel more confident in these areas. I am staying current on educational issues
through websites and email lists. I am employed at a preschool for special needs children so the
issues I am involved with are different than the public school K-12 issues.
In the space below, generate four self-improvement goals to be undertaken during this
degree program. Each goal is to include the following:

A goal statement and its relationship to one or more of the ISLLC Standards

Anticipated activities that will lead to the accomplishment of the goal

Evidence that will demonstrate attainment of the goal

Targeted date of completion for the goal

Through my studies in the finance class, I will complete a budget for a local school district
including researching demographic data, enrollment trend analysis, revenues, expenditures and
presentation of the budget by May, 2016.
Through my curriculum class I will be completing an analysis of assessment data as well as
completing an curriculum audit by April, 2016 and May, 2016, respectively.
