Saturday, October 23
I found that today, in beginning my last class in the program---holla!----the six standards so many others responded to tonight are very much reinforced throughout the EDL program. While sometimes the terms used to refer to the standards are different, essentially there is a great deal of consistency in the expectations WIU has for developing these standards in its students. The more I learn from profs and other students, the more I value the perspective I gain from class discussions of situations likely to pop up in our adminstrative roles. If nothing else, this perspective gives me a better appreciation for the complexity of the decision-making required of both building and district administrators.

As I sat there today in class, I realized how important the Principal's decision making skills are when it comes to the success of the learning abilities available for the students they are in charge of overseeing their education process. So far the book we are using is extremely thurough with looking at the different aspects of successful administrators' characteristics for running a school at the optimal learning atmosphere. I can see that something that I will be frustrated with is the more experienced teachers who are not willing to change or adapt for maximum student learning. If there was an easier way to get rid of ineffective teachers, I feel that would greatly improve the quality of education the students would recieve. Although the book is complex at first, I felt that as I thought about the standards, I understood more and more about them and hope to better understand them and the rest of the book as I continue reading and digesting it.
