Personal Narrative: Considering My Professional Experience

Improved Essays
Considering my professional experience, I can say that a school principal who cares about his teachers is paramount to the success not only of the teachers but also of the students and all staff members. A few years ago, I worked for a school whose principal was always putting together meetings to discuss with all of us about best professional development courses that he had in mind to offer. He used to do that to ask us if we agreed with his ideas, give us an opportunity to express our concerns and success experiences in classes. Also, she would observe our classes as often as possible, not to criticize but to give us some new ideas and sometimes eulogize our work. These attitudes truly made us all better professionals and made us all give

    Teachers need to believe that the principal has their best interest at heart. Teachers also need to feel that the principal is dependable and has the necessary skills and knowledge to lead the school. “One of the hallmarks of effective principals is how they treat people. Like effective teachers, effective principals treat people with respect,” (Whitaker, 2009). No matter what wonderful programs, textbooks, and activities are established in a school, the success of the school and essentially the students will depend on the relationships, both internal and external, among the stakeholders.…

    Clarence, I agree with you completely that older generations follow the motto “a hard day’s work for an honest day’s pay”. I work with a few older employees and they work 5x harder than some of the younger employees I work with. I also received a 35 on my EI test which I was not surprised of either. I have a very high work ethic and have very little time for play in my job. I do need to learn to put myself in others shoes; sometimes this is very hard for me to do.…

    I have always been interested in learning and using new ideas. Throughout my life, I have invariably drawn from my life experiences, newly learned ideas and my continuing education to help problem-solve sensibly and realistically allowing me to move forward or help others reach their goals. Although I have no formal teaching experience, in my past work and involvement in organized sports, I have repeatedly used the Progressive philosophy. When dealing with 13 & 14 year olds many situations arise such as bullying, personality clashes or simply not understanding a drill or play. I deal with these situations by asking questions to stimulate a discussion, allowing them to draw on past experiences; positive or negative, consequently allowing them to come up with a solution or grasp the knowledge they are seeking.…

    My response to this selection is that Hornak made right decision, even though it took her long time to realize, but it would be hard for me If I were to change my career.

    My graduate experience will be light years different then my undergraduate training. I chuckle just contemplating the technological difference alone. Back when I attended undergraduate school there wasn’t the internet, the LoudCloud, e-books, or personal laptop computers. We thought we were “hot stuff” because we progressed from the slide ruler to a state of the art Texas Interment graphing calculator. By the way google informed me that my particular calculator at that time was the first of its kind.…

    Thanks Yeni for the question and a pretty interesting one at that. So when looking at my GPA, I never looked at myself as the smartest kid or the least educated. Throughout school I mainly got A-C's occasionally honor roll, but never anything more. That was until fall 2017 of college when I finally got Straight A's for the first time. All though I never thought about how someones GPA could affect how they work, until now.…

    In my working life, I have so many different work experiences that I can probably write a small book on what not to do when looking for a job. For my first job, I joined the Army right after I finished my first college degree; for most people a job in the military won’t be a choice, but for me I think I need it to build character and learn new things. Working as a Human Resources Specialist taught me many things, the main thing that I learned was never believe what others tell you until you see it in black and white. After eleven years three months and eight days I decided to hang my boots and become a “weekend…
