...habits, etc., established by authority, custom, or an individual as acceptable.” The Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium’s (ISLLC) standards serve to define expected processes and outcomes for effective school leaders. These standards were developed in order to enhance the quality of education. Just as the No Child Left Behind Act (2001) was created to promote educational excellence for all students and teacher accountability, the ISLLC Standards were implemented so that all school leaders were held accountable towards the success of all students and stakeholders. The ISLLC standards are essential towards the development of an effective school leader. Effective leadership begins with knowledge of the educational environment: the needs of individual students, strengths and weaknesses of faculty and staff members, knowledgeable in all aspects of instructional programs, student data, and scheduling. Becoming experts in the aforementioned areas allows for school leaders to develop a solid foundation for effective school leadership.

Final Benchmark Assessment: Individual Reflection Essay The purpose of this essay is to show possible solutions to leadership challenges using the ISLLC 2008 standards. The purpose of the standards and how they impact the educational community will also be addressed. The ISLLC 2008 standards were drafted by personnel from 24 state education agencies and various professional associations (ISLLC, 2008). These standards were developed to enhance the skills of school leaders in order to produce enhanced educational outcomes (ISLLC, 2008). Standard 2 The first major challenge facing the leadership at my school is students that cannot read. Many students that reach third grade in my school are reading at a grade level below and some are two grade levels below. This is a major issue because it means that the ball has been dropped and it is also the first year for the students to take standardized tests. This challenge reflects Standard 2. As a leader, I would collect and analyze data for students with reading problems beginning in first grade. Teachers would be required identify struggling students.

...the strengthening of leadership skills in future administrators. The ISLLC standards were developed with the intention of aiding policymakers and education officers in their efforts to attract, mold, sustain, and maintain leaders in education. The standards provide the tools needed to promote a united vision and goals for creating gains in student achievement through better educational leadership. Research continues to show that strong educational leadership is only out-ranked by effective classroom instruction in regards to school-related indicators involving student achievement. Strong leadership draws good teachers and may strengthen struggling ones. These standards are essential because schools/districts are much more likely to recruit and keep strong teachers if they have strong leaders. Although many challenges face the leadership at my school, I think that school culture, budget deficits, and lack of communication are three of the most critical. ISLLC Standard 2 states,” An education leader promotes the success of every student by advocating, nurturing, and sustaining a school culture and instructional program conducive to student learning and staff professional growth.”(ISLLC, 2008) Our school lacks a healthy school culture. I feel that this is, in part, due to the size of our school and the constant change in administration. It is very difficult for our administrators to “develop a culture of collaboration, trust, learning, and high expectations” when they rarely see...

...teach with new technological resources is part of the technology plan within the XYZ school district (McIntosh County Schools Handbook, 2010). Constructive changes may build the opportunity for teachers to empower students, schools, and communities (GaDOE, 2008; Hall, 2010). School officials can consider the access of technology (Skevakis, 2010) to expanded social interactions, enhanced technological understandings, and adapt teaching strategies using wireless technology resources (Weston &ump; Bain, 2010). The outcome and results from this study will be used to provide a guideline for designing an online educational community. Therefore, social change may occur when a community of professionals is brought together by desires to enrich the lives of students and prepare teachers for a world dominated by wireless communication systems (Weston &ump; Bain, 2010). The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (2009) propose that ongoing, job-embedded professional development through an online network creates the opportunity to improve teacher technology efficacy and adapt to new media literacy. This study will offer training to improve teacher technology efficacy, encourage new media literacy, and provide a set of skills, and cultural knowledge for teachers to help students function in an environment where technology constantly changes (GaDOE, 2008: Hall, 2010; Prensky, 2008; Su Luan &ump; Teo 2009; Ursavas &ump; Karal, 2009).
