Reflection

To begin, a principal must always keep the school’s vision and mission in mind while

deciding on the faculty members for each role. For example, if the principal is trying to fill the

position of bus duty, and the schools vision is about fulfilling their students needs, the person in

charge of this duty should display these qualities. It is crucial that the principal keeps their

professional dispositions in mind while decision making. The decisions that the principal makes

will effect the entire school. Lastly, the principal can promote a positive learning culture by

encouraging all teachers to take interest in extra leadership positions. The principal should give

all teachers the opportunity to express their interest in leadership positions. As teachers, there is

already a form of leadership inside us while working in the classroom, so teachers should be able

to mold themselves into leaders outside the classroom.

Additionally, it is important when assigning leadership responsibilities because these

teachers are in charge of making our school stronger in their role. The teachers also serve as a

leader for our students and need to make sure they are representing themselves appropriately in

front of the students. Also, the leader you choose should have a positive outlook on their role to

ensure they are doing their job to the best of their ability. Finally, failure to select individuals

careful can result in a negative impact on your school and students. For example, if an

inappropriate teacher was selected to be at lunch duty, many things could go wrong. This could

result in students get hurt, not being able to open/eat their food, or even a bunch of chaos. It is



crucial that as a principal you are choosing the very best candidate to take on these leadership

positions.
