EDL/ 500: Hopes for the course...


I hope to learn better leadership skills from this course.  I have been dealing with time management issues as well as trying to juggle to many things at once.  My job just gave me an additional class to teach which has affected my performance in this online course. I do not get a planning period anymore, but I teach English I, II, III, and IV.  I hope this class can teach me ways to be effective without over working myself.  I want my students to be able to see that I can handle the load without it affecting my attitude toward them. 

I feel that learning better time management skills will help enhance my leadership skills because this trait is one of the most common and most important as it pertains to leadership.  I would also like to learn more about the type of planner I should be.  I am easily sidetracked and would like to become a little more focused on the task at hand.  In this personal leadership course, I expect to learn how to manage my personal success as well as my flaws.  Learning how to master my flaws will help me become better at mastering my success.  I am excited about this course and I really want to be a team player. Hopefully, the weeks to come will prove that leadership is an important aspect of my livelihood.  Being a leader at my school is tedious, but I want to be the best teacher and help other teachers do the same.
