Curriculum Implementation Philosophy exhibits Element 1.2 as it describes some of the major principal’s functions and activities I identified, as it relates to curriculum design and development. It also explains my perspective on what a principal’s major execute functions and activities are as it relates to strengthening curricular programs that support the school’s vision and mission. This philosophy on curriculum implementation was developed at the beginning of the course, Strengthening Curricular Programs to Promote Continuous School Improvement. |

Rationale: Element 1.1 - candidates understand and can collaboratively develop, articulate, implement, and steward a shared vision of learning for a school.
Identifying Leader Positions exhibits ELCC 1.1 by creating a plan to assign leadership responsibilities in an intentional way. The plan starts with identifying the school needs and the positions, instructional and non-instructional, that will be needed to meet those needs. Having a well-thought-out plan and communicating that plan is a great start to creating a positive school environment and learning culture. |
