In the progress of obtaining my Masters of Education in Educational Leadership I attended many meetings, shadowed current administrators, and completed a number of assignments in relation to the importance of a shared vision. Through this process two meeting drove home the importance of this shared vision for me: School Site Council and the development of the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). These two meetings (or series of meetings) exemplify the importance of involving the entire community in driving your school to its ultimate goal. Both of these meeting involve staff, students, parents, and community members at large. They analyze the performance of the school and set strategic goals for the future. The groups involved in these meetings continually monitor that progress and work together to obtain multiple perspectives on how to best address barriers and move forward together.
In order to complete this work, it must be rooted in a common mission and vision for the school. In one of our earlier classes, I analyzed my schools’ mission and vision statement as a way to better understand what drives the work we do together. This mission and vision was developed collaboratively and is revisited by various stakeholders often in order to ground their work before they begin. In order to continue to grow in this area, I plan to stay involved inthe LCAP process and continue to ask questions to increase my undertanding of this area. My relfection is linked below.
